June Water is the San Diego-based musical partnership of two life-long musicians with a taste for genre-bending and alternative soundscapes. Johno Wells is a filmmaker, graphic and sound-designer, and self-produced electronic artist who has independently released several diverse, immersive electronic albums. Matthew Stewart is a recording artist on Spotted Peccary Records who delves frequently into singer/songwriter territory and has played numerous instruments in a broad spectrum of local San Diego bands. The duo first met in 1999, when Matthew was looking for a graphic designer to help with his first independent release. Johno and Matthew's friendship grew over their shared affinity for synth textures and bands. But it was Johno’s chance encounter with Eurorack synthesis that first lit the fire of collaboration. It became a mutual journey: the marriage of Johno’s experimental flair and Matthew’s more traditional songwriting experiences made for a sound that neither of them could find alone. They discovered a community of Eurorack artists in southern California that provided both inspiration and great encouragement, and through that support and dialog, ultimately found themselves as the new show-runners of the San Diego Modular On The Spot (MOTS) shows in San Diego. They are both excited to be part of the modular synth fellowship, and are currently working on their first release.

Uniting People to Buy Essential Hygiene Products For Those In Need
One Million Tampons is on a mission -- to ensure all PEOPLE have access to hygiene products, including tampons, maxi pads, sanitary wipes, and other monthly essentials. Teens, women, trans males, and gender non-binary people make up half the human population; they all menstruate, but not everyone can afford the products they need for proper healthcare. That’s where we ALL can help -- and yes, we’re also talking to you men. Everyone with the ability to add at least one box of hygiene products to their grocery cart can make a huge difference in dozens of people’s lives. It’s that simple.

How You Can Help
Buy a box -- or as much as you care to donate -- and bring them into a participating drop off location -- it’s that simple. You can also check out our wish list, buy online and send your generous donations direct to us! The One Million Tampons movement started in Seattle and the outpouring of love soon spread around the world. Donations have come in from as far away as South Africa! Learn more about how it all started and what we’ve accomplished so far!
