A Tasty Jamm

Formed in late 2009, we consider ourselves more of a ”remake” band than a cover band that likes to put our own spin on songs to make them ”Tasty”. Mostly 70’s/80’s/90’s set lists, but we delve into other decades as well. We do a few sweet medleys and versions of familiar songs you won’t hear anywhere else. We can perform as a full band or as an acoustic quartet w/ our drummer playing a “Cajon” (wooden percussion box) instead of a drum kit, and we also have an electronic drum kit available for smaller venues. Our band features local radio personality and traffic reporter Robin Scott on lead vocals and harmonies. Rob and Robin have been performing together as a duo since 1994 and decided to add some great musicians to the group, what resulted is the band you see here. Our goal is to perform songs that we enjoy playing in hopes that the energy and passion will emotionally engage anyone who is listening. Come check us out, we don’t suck! Please support your live local music scene.

Boise’s Americana Sweethearts! Indie Alt Country Darlings!

a.k.a. Belle

Nicknamed ’Americana Sweethearts’ by weekly local arts & culture rag, The Boise Weekly, a.k.a. Belle are also commonly referred to as Boise’s ”Indie – Alt – Country Darlings” — certainly there is an edge to their Americana – roots rock n roll, as listening to their debut album, ”Disappearing Night” reveals.

The album came out in late December 2011, spent several weeks in the Top 20 Best Sellers list at The Record Exchange and, in fact, ”Disappearing NIght” made it into the Ten Top Selling Local Albums of 2012!

The track ”Austin Calling” continues to get airplay on the Treasure Valley’s largest commercial radio station, The River 94.9fm. a.k.a. Belle are highly championed by their morning host, Tim Johnstone, as well as being favorites of Carl Scheider, DJ at (NPR affiliated) KBSU. ”Living Room Radio,” a Friday afternoon show on 89.9fm Radio Boise, listed ’Disappearing Night’ as one of their top albums of the year.

a.k.a. Belle formed in 2008, after Catherine Crooks Merrick (vocals, guitars, banjo) returned home to Boise after several years of living and performing under the moniker Belle
of Les Bois in Manchester, England. She recruited long time accomplice Sam Merrick to play guitar (ex-Hillfolk Noir, The Nymphs, The Leaving Trains). (Yes, they are married.)

No strangers to the music business, each has worked with or supported some famous names (Curtis Stigers; Bill Kirchen; Doug Martsch from Built to Spill; John Doe & Exene Cervenka from LA band X; Iggy Pop; Elizabeth Cook; Holly Golightly, Lydia Loveless…just to name a few)

Current live shows feature Louis McFarland on percussion and Chris Galli on stand up bass; and Kayleigh Jack on violin, vocals and guitar.

Sam and Catherine recently appeared on Boise Song Talk, a local television series showcasing local songwriters who discuss their craft/ songwriting with host James Coberly Smith. http://boisesongtalk.com/

Christmas 2010’s Moxie Java local artist/band compilation includes a.k.a. Belle’s holiday hit, “I’m Giving Mice Elf to You” which has been on permanent rotation on The River’s Morning Show every Christmas since its release.

”For a Fool,” was the inspiration for a stop motion painting/animation video by Boise artist, Shasta Nash. Shasta used the acoustic version of the song (written & recorded in England), which was shown at the 2011 ”208 Music Video Show” and took 1st prize.

The band also took part in a pilot series hosted by John Doe called ”American Music.” a.k.a. Belle served as his backing band (with Catherine duetting) on several songs. http://www.wideeye.tv/original_programming.html

Work on their 2nd album (working title ’The Devil Loves You’), has begun at AudioLab Recording Studios, and the band anticipate its release sometime this spring. The direction is slightly darker, including themes of time travel and urban myths about a serial killer who lives in Boise’s foothills.

For the past five or so years, I have been able to make a living on music in Boise. I have played acoustic 50’s, 60’s and 70’s music for geriatric facilities. Lots of interesting personalities, especially in the Memory Care Unit. I believe playing in bars is fun for a musical purpose it is mediocre at best. I believe music affects us biologically in a way that regresses disease. I will head to New Orleans at the end of the summer for a Music Therapy degree, but until then I am looking to gig.

Ana Lete

In January, 2015, Christi Green, Ana Lete’s classical guitar
instructor, mentor, and friend of 2.5 years passed away from
complications following an ankle surgery after a skiing accident. With
this unexpected wave of grief, Lete began doing something she hadn’t
done in over two years—she began writing songs again. At first, the
songs that she wrote were a way for her to heal and deal with her
grief, but as the year continued, she found the act of songwriting was
useful in reflecting and capturing other aspects of her life as well.

From January to May 2015, the 21 year old worked on a set of songs in
her spare time after her classes and jazz ensembles at the College of
Idaho. In June 2015, she recorded demos of these songs and sent them
to her roommate—bassist, Ashton Jenicek—who suggested that they start
playing them in their basement and begin gigging locally.

Ana Lete began her musical journey in her hometown of Nampa, ID. She
began taking guitar lessons from Wayne White in 8th grade, and through
White’s influence, fell in love with guitar and the music of the
Beatles. Lete took lessons from White until she enrolled at The
College of Idaho as a Music Theory & Composition major and began
studying classical guitar with Christi Green. Throughout high school
and college, Lete developed a love of both contemporary indie music
and jazz. It was through being involved in her Vocal Jazz group at C
of I (ran by Dr. Marianne Saunders) that Lete found her voice as a
vocalist. Some of Lete’s favorite artists and musical influences
include the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Bon Iver, the Fleet Foxes, Feist,
Tune-Yards, Wye Oak, and Billie Holiday.

From October 2015 to May 2016, Ana Lete, Ashton Jenicek, and
percussionist, Gavin Peterson, recorded Psychic Translation with
recording engineer, Rodrigo Coronel, in the College’s recording
studio. After graduating with a bachelor’s in Music Theory &
Composition, Lete spends her days drinking dry cappuccinos, playing
shows both solo and with a variety of musicians, teaching private
guitar lessons, songwriting, booking tours, and more.

Though in his mid twenties, this young man has already played shows across two hemispheres and in a war zone. While not dodging bullets and working on military aircraft, active duty airmen Andrew Jameson fuses the heart of southern rock with the style and attitude of alternative into a style that must be heard to be believed. With only a guitar in hand he has played venues of upwards to 400 people and he is just getting started.
With his guitar on his back and his best friends by his side, he started as most teenagers do in the music world, in a garage with practice amps and a small space heater to keep from freezing to death. Born in Georgia and raised in Delaware he was prepared for a life on the road, before he knew what the future had in store. After playing a few house parties and graduating, he joined the U.S. Air Force, something he was destined for, until music called his name once again. Six brutal weeks of basic training, and a few months in tech-school he was on a plane to the volatile island of Korea.
His first major show occurred in S. Korea where, along with his tight-knit military following, played to approximately 200 people and almost made the N. Koreans surrender with a few stanzas of melancholy and hope. Well, not quite. After the conclusion of his tour in S. Korea he made his way back to the U.S. in New Mexico where he became an immediate success. Starting out at an open mic at a bar called the Lounge, he once again built a small but dedicated fan base. He played here regularly and after a few short months played to a 400 person crowd.
However, because of his career in the US Air Force, he has relocated once again to Mountain Home, Idaho. Thus far, a few open mic session have already turned into an invitation to return, this time, for his own show.

The band took a year break to get a dedicated studio and practice area setup, as well as collect some much needed equipment, until 2011. Upon reuniting after the short break, the decision was made to bring in a 2nd guitarist.

After auditioning Justin, it was determined that his influences and styles best matched the band’s. Shortly after Justin being brought on board, the band entered the studio to complete their first album. The album is currently being tracked in their studio.

The band’s main influences range from: Metallica, Pantera, Lamb of God, Machine Head, Daath, Amon Amarth.

Bank the Band

Stepping down from the stage in a syncopated rate to the sweat dripping off their faces, Boise, Idaho based Bank the band looks as at home here as they would in their native desert residence. Playing shows every night in 100% DIY fashion, the “eck brothers”, Dan Keck, Andrew Keck and Steve Pecka, have kept their 1998 Ford Clubwagon, dubbed “the green monster”, on the road from Billings, Montana to San Diego and Seattle to St. George, Utah, and everywhere in between. Guitarist frontman Daniel Keck saw the band as a vehicle for the ideas set forth by Jack Kerouac’s “On The Road” and started booking shows on weekends with friends in Seattle and Salt Lake City. The book portrays the beautiful ideas of freedom and independence that has been a motivation for other songwriters. Even Ben Gibbard, which Dan admits is a contemporary influence, cites Kerouac as one of his early catalysts to tour. From humble beginnings to weekend outings, the band saw that they could book full tours using the same principles set forth by networking with other regional bands. “There is a brotherhood among unsigned touring bands,” says Dan. “You are out there together on the asphalt and in smoky bars and you figure you can work together and have a chance at making it.”

A mind set to work hard no matter what the obstacle has made this quartet work. It seems cliche to talk about overcoming hardships like member changes and lack of funds, but in this day where the fuel prices are enough to make a band crumble, sticking together is the hardest part. The thing most people don’t know is that this band, noticing a sizeable increase in fans at shows everywhere they play, has been around for over four years. In that period of time they have self released an E.P., a full length that was self produced in Nashville just off of Music Row with Donny Boutwell and most recently “The Hope Inside Your Sleep” with famed producer Ed Rose in Eudora, Kansas.

It is a long road ahead but a long road is all right when following the footsteps of Dean Moriarty and Sal Paradise. So far, freedom and independence have been the lifeblood of this band. Those inalienable rights give Bank the chance to make it big.

He posted a video on facebook of him performing at the songwriters showcase at St. Chapels winery when Aaron Bossart (Percussion), who recognized him from high school, approached him and asked to jam together.

The two took off when they started collaborating and practicing in Aaron’s basement. Using makeshift recording equipment and cheap gear bought with a good chunk of their life savings they mastered the songs Chris had written in a matter of weeks as a newly formed two piece band. The Bare Bones had their first official gig at the Flying M Coffee Garage on Friday, August 19, 2011, and have been working hard as young, gigging musicians ever since.
Currently, The Bare Bones are composed of Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist: Chris Brock and Percussionist: Aaron Bossart. The Bare Bones bring together a fusion of genres like indie/blues/soul and alt. rock, and are influenced by a variety of groups like The Flaming Lips, The Black Keys, The Frames, Modest Mouse, Wilco, The Pixies, and countless, classic R&B soul artists like Otis Redding and Aretha Franklin. Aaron, having a near virtuoso talent as a drummer from his ”metal” days, brings a variety of beats to the table, providing a strong foundation for Chris, with his talents as a songwriter and a wannabe bluesman to really test the limits of what a two piece can do musically.

Together The Bare Bones have brought a positive message to the Boise music scene, bringing waves of good vibes whenever they play live. They strive to always play a good show, make friends with whomever they meet and to always take responsibility for representing young musicians in a positive light.

Big O

Big O was born in Los Angeles California and raised in Caldwell Idaho. Listening to Hip Hop and Rap music since about 5th grade he was always fascinated by the way that words and syllables where made to flow and fit with rhythm and beats. Loving the way that this music artistically told stories, he began experimenting and writing his own poetry to simple beats. After attending his first touring concert (warped tour) his ideas of what music is and is supposed to be where changed. He shortly after started a punk and rock influenced band. Years later after feeling like he needed to experience the world he traveled and spent 4 months in Congo Africa doing charity work. Upon returning to the U.S.A. He didn’t want to fall into the same lifestyle he had, so he moved to the Oregon Coast for a year where he started writing Hip Hop music again, while maintaining everything that punk rock had taught him, this time with his own stories and outlooks on life to share. After a year on the coast Big O moved into Portland and recorded his first E.P. Moving back to Caldwell Idaho in 2013 he released his E.P. and began booking shows. Excited for his music he maintains a statement that he believes to be the heart and sole of his music. Hip hop is music, and music is freedom, and freedom is whats worth fighting for.

Bill’s songs swerve from upbeat, jangly country pop to the darker, lonesomer side of Americana and tell the stories of the real West.

Bill Waugh

He is a singer-songwriter with his own image, influenced by Rock, Metal, and Stone Sour’s Corey Taylor. With dark clothing, eyeliner and black acoustic guitar played through an all tube half stack, it looks like a front man just stepped off a stage set for a rock band. That’s exactly what he did…
_ _ _ _ _
At thirteen, Bill picked up a worn acoustic f-hole guitar, playing around with simple notes and chords, and then learning some tunes from the radio. He signed up for a nine week guitar course in school, but he always wanted to play by ear and heart. His stubbornness kept him playing without formal education.

After taking the guitar lightly for years, in the winter of 2003, Bill went through a painful divorce and began putting his passive-aggressive emotions on paper while adding melodies. Then it just clicked. Bill realized he had a gift for tying the elements together. “It was like therapy I didn’t know I needed.” he says. One song after another poured out. He got a writer’s notebook, and amongst scratches and scribbles came “…something people need to hear. I know they can relate.”

Bill produced solo album “Passion Seeds”, and gave away about 150 copies. But the “band” were his keyboard and multi-track recorder. He decided to get some real musicians together, who later became Alternative Rock band Craving Dawn. The 5 piece group had some local success in Boise, Idaho, playing over 50 live shows in their first year. They produced as well, album “Learning Curve” and performed in Las Vegas. There were various releases such as the track Altar for Fears on a Midem compilation CD in France, and 6 Strings airing on “100.3 the X Rocks.”

Unfortunately, conflict arose within the group. Along with other issues, there were disagreements on strategy and direction, which at the end led to missed performance opportunities. In the fall of 2011, Bill left the band (who broke up immediately after) to set out solo once more, working on material to record and perform, and has since realized the beginning of his dream. ”The cover songs can go…the fans are now asking for nothing but his original songs at the live shows.”

Brook Faulk

Brook Faulk an indie/alt country singer songwriter acoustic artist that will be in the Boise area during April as part of an unprecedented “North meets South” Northwest tour.
¬¬The love of music for singer/songwriter Brook Faulk comes from the same motto that makes most businesses successful…location, location, location. Raised on a cattle ranch under the Western sky, Brook comes from a long line of real cowboys and rodeo men. She grew up listening to all the old country favorites with her dad, while driving down the long dusty roads. It was there that Brook developed her love affair with music. A throwback from the past, she began singing at a young age, quickly finding her way into the rural music scene of country fairs, coffee houses, and local honkytonks.
Brook made her first trip to record in Nashville in 2003. Since that time, she has traveled back and fourth between her home in Anchorage, Alaska, and the south, where she is always busy recording and playing shows. Brook has spent the past four years performing in Alaska playing to a packed house as a front person for the most in-demand band in the state.

Calley Bliss

”Oh boy. Are you ready for a can of worms? I have this theory…” Hearing singer/songwriter Calley Bliss say these words is endearingly par for her course. She’s the kind of person who’s always thinking, always drawing from what’s around her, always gleaming a positive lesson from any situation. The struggles with writing original music, putting a band together, practicing, performing and self-promoting can definitely take their toll, but Calley barrels through with style and grace. ”The stumbles that knock me down for a day or two, week or two, or even months make me run all the faster on the straight-aways.”
Calley currently acts as the Music Studies Coordinator and teaches voice and songwriting at Fresco Arts Academy in Eagle, ID. The school’s unique approach to hiring teachers who are active members in their professional craft has put Calley on a staff with instructors who actively populate the Treasure Valley arts, theatre and music scene.

Calley made the move to Boise from New York City, where she participated in the Brooklyn singer/songwriter scene for four years, during which time she self-released her first solo album, ”Pigeonholed,” which showcases her monster of a voice and infectiously catchy but smart writing in so many varied styles and flavors, it’s no wonder where she got the title of the album. She acted as the sole songwriter and arranger of all tracks, and co-produced it with Brooklyn producer and engineer, Jonathon Jacobi.

Calley has sung as a professional vocalist for a decade in styles ranging from Soul, R&B and Groove music, to Folk, Pop, and a healthy dose of Jazz, having attained her Bachelor in Jazz Voice from the acclaimed University of North Texas, funded by a Vocal Jazz Scholarship. She’s worked as a resident back-up singer for Maryland-based label Severn Records, a front vocalist for numerous and various club date bands, including New York’s Startlight Orchestras, a studio-ad vocalist for Dallas-based The Acxess Group, and has lead her own groups for private functions and live performances across the US, Mexico and Ireland.Her love of writing, which budded during her time at North Texas and flourished in the inspiring surroundings of New York, has brought her the opportunity to collaborate as a lyricist and pop song-writer with numerous friends and colleagues, most recently with Brooklyn-based guitarist and composer Cameron Mizell. Together they commenced a boutique production company, SingleSky Productions, creating music for commercial and artistic purposes from the conception and writing phase, all the way to the recorded, mixed, mastered, and ready-to-market phase. They found such musical soul-mates in each other, they also started a folk-pop band to satiate their artistic sides focused on simple and beautiful lyrics, melodies, and harmonies. The band, When We Were Six, debuted summer of 2011 at New York’s famous West Village venue The Bitter End, and plans to release an EP of the project and take it on a US tour are in motion for the summer and fall of 2013.

Calley’s story began in a typical Minnesotan home complete with hotdish, annual trips to the State Fair, and caring parents who readily taught her how to be ”Minnesota Nice.” She knew as early as seven-years-old that she wanted to ”be a singer” – her Whitney Houston backyard cover show easily won the hearts of her earliest fans. At the age of 10, she landed a spot in the Minneapolis Bel Canto Voices, an honor which was renewed three years in a row, including a role in the children’s chorus for Puccini’s opera ”La Boheme” at the Minnesota Opera. Other awards of her young performing years include ”Excellence in Jazz Performance” at the International Music Camp in the Peace Gardens, Lakeville High School’s ”Outstanding Performer 2002,” and a spot in the Minnesota All-State Choir for two years.

CRY

Cry

Boise based darkwave/gothic/metal duo uses vintage Roland synths to tear at your heartstrings and eardrums, and make you feel something
Genre

CRY

CRY is best described as a tension between sounds. Based in Oakland, the husband and wife duo consists of self-taught musician, Brian McCarthy (Casy & Brian, Dalmatians) and classically-trained performer, Kati Sheldon.

Polarity shapes CRY and the sound that results is unyielding. Post-punk, darkwave notions serve as a backdrop to lyrics drawn from works like Dante’s Inferno and The Egyptian Book Of The Dead. Brian’s unchecked learn-as-you play musicianship that’s captured the attention of East Bay’s warehouse scene is balanced against Kati’s polished experience in opera and musical theatre. And, in writing music together, there is the intimate tension that exists between spouses.

The music on CRY’s debut self-release uses only vintage Roland and Electro Harmonix equipment. The compositions were intentionally over-simplified to serve as a control element for the dramatic vocals. Andrew Oswald — known for his work with Ash Borer, Religious Girls and Bon Iver — recorded the EP.

I co-wrote and produced a top 10 album called Fiona’s World with my mentor, the great Austin artist Bob Cheevers. We toured Great Britain twice.

Style? I can’t completely embrace “Americana” as a description of what I do. I have been equally influenced by British and American artists, so how about “Transatlantic”?

My talented friends and I are almost finished recording a new album.

Dennis M Cooper

Whether its blues, country, big band, bebop, reggae, rock or easy listening, Dennis Cooper is there with the chops.
With a career spanning over thirty years performing with some of the finest musicians in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, California, and Texas, Cooper branched out with his first solo release, “A Boy and His Harmonica” in October, of 2001.
After its release, the album reached the number one spot on MP3.com’s “Top Selling Jazz CDs” list on four occasions and every song was in the top three of its genre chart.
He’s won many awards during his career, including a first place finish in the diatonic division of the Yellow Pine Harmonica Contest in 2001 and a B.E.A.M. (Benefiting Emerging Artists in Music) award from the Jim Beam Company.
From the Oregon Coast to the Gulf Coast of Texas, Dennis has entertained at festivals and fairs in his one-man harmonica show.
“It’s not what people expect to hear coming from a harmonica,” says Cooper. “I play a very melodic style and it thrills me when someone in the audience leaves a performance humming or whistling part of something I played.”
In 2002 and 2003 Cooper contracted with Jon Gindick, author of “Rock and Blues Harmonica” as a Co-Instructor at “Jon Gindick’s Harmonica Jam Camp for Blues and Country in Irvine, CA and Austin, TX.
Winter 2006 was a busy creative time for both Cooper and his wife and partner Sandra Cooper.
Together they wrote and published the first in a series of revolutionary new harmonica instructional materials.
The first project, “Harmonica Boot Camp” , was written from an absolute beginners point of view. Dennis taught Sandra how to play the harmonica and she authored a compact and concise book that covers all the bases without the musical jargon. “Harmonica Boot Camp” also includes a 75-minute instructional audio CD.
Two new albums were also recorded during live performances while in Arizona.
“Crossharp Country, LIVE” is a collection of country and bluegrass favorites recorded as they were performed.
“Live From Paradise and Otherwise” features songs that are easy on the ears and includes several new compositions by Dennis.
2009 1st place (tie) combined Grand National Division (diatonic & chromatic), Yellowpine Harmonica Contest
2008 3rd place combined Grand National Division (diatonic & chromatic), Yellowpine Harmonica Contest
2002 Jim Beam B.E.A.M. (Benefiting Emerging Artists in Music) award, one of 23 awarded nationwide.

“Dennis M. Cooper carries his music like a Doctor carries his PhD. It is a part of his name, a part of his soul…it is the blues. You can hear it with every note of this song. He has lived the pain and the melancholy, he has lived this song. Amazing Grace…without knowing anything about the man behind this Harmonica, I would venture a guess that he had once been lost. And, now he’s saved. There is a sweet tenderness, which mixes with just enough bitterness throughout this track.” Bottom line; this is the blues. I am giving a perfect score for lyrics because, with Mr. Cooper’s skill I can hear them.”

Get ready for mid-song outbursts of applause inspired by wide-ranged vocal riffs that shake hands with the musical styles of vintage-indie-pop-soul-rock, Emily Tipton. The Emily Tipton band is making their mark on the music block. This New-to-Boise band with pure vintage-indie-soul and gripping vocal chops introduce you to a story distantly familiar yet like something you’ve never heard. Her power-packed voice caused quite the buzz. Emily’s bass player, Rob Hill, plays with area favorites Gizzard Stone and the Rebecca Scott Band and is the most sought after bass player in Boise for live shows and recording. Meghan Kelly Watters plays with The Rebecca Scott Band and lends her percussive talents doing sit-in performances with Thomas Paul Band, Bernie Reilly, and many others too numerous to count. This eclectic trio primarily met while crossing paths working with their other projects and by collaborating at the Pengilly’s open jams in downtown Boise. As this group came together it was instantly noticeable that there was a natural chemistry that fit together from the get go.

Evergreen Machine

Formed in Boise Idaho in the spring of 2013 by singer, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Michael Gill, Evergreen Machine is just starting make a musical impact in the Treasure Valley. A bit about the founder, Michael Gill was raised in northern Wisconsin before going to Purdue University for engineering in Indianapolis Indiana. It was in Wisconsin that Michael first learned to love music and he began playing drums from the early age of eight years. Since first picking up the sticks, he has continued to expand his abilities into singing, piano, and guitar.

It was in college that he first began to write songs. His newfound appreciations for history, culture, and philosophy gave him immediate access to lyrical material that contains depth and emotion. As a result, the songs are heavily narrative with subtle links to current world dramas and common personal journeys. Growing up in a religious home, Michael was quite limited in terms of listening content. This limitation led to an explosion of musical discovery in his college years and an ability to appreciate many variations of musical style. This newness and exploratory nature is brought into the musical styles of his songs, which makes it difficult to place it in limiting genres. Some of the songs have a folk rock / bluegrass sound common to central and southern Indiana. Others are emotional, raw, and acoustic along the lines of Sufjan Stevens and Noah Gunderson. Still others are heavily rhythmic and more in the realm of alternative rock, yet still beautifully acoustic.

After moving to Boise Idaho in 2011 for his first job out of college, Michael began to spend more of his “free time” writing songs and playing music around town. From street corners to coffee shops and restaurants, he began introducing his music to the beautiful community of Boise. The culture in Idaho and the charming subcultures of Basque immigrants and long time Idaho natives have given him plenty of material to share their stories and values with the city and whoever else might listen. The songs had too much space and potential for Michael Gill to continue alone so he began to invite other talented musicians into his sphere and after much hard work, practice, and learning to lead a band, Evergreen Machine was formed. The band includes three of Michael’s own family. His sister, Heather Clark, provides harmony vocals that are pristine in their relationship to Michael’s own voice. Another sister, Stephanie Gill, is picking up guitar and adds a lot of accent and flavor to the overall sound. His father, Tommy Gill, has also joined the band. He has a long history playing keyboards and organ and contributes immensely to the atmosphere. Michael also became friends with a bassist at his day job and invited him to join. Dustin Gorseth has a real passion for the instrument and can both carry a song while providing detailed and complex lead lines. He’s a real talent. Michael also invited a friend and drummer, Jeremy Wiese, to provide the critical rhythm section to the music. Jeremy is accurate, dependable, and brings real emotion to his craft. For a band that plays this many different kinds of music, the artists involved have to be flexible, dependable, and creative. These are the musicians of Evergreen Machine. The band will continue playing live in Boise and is planning an album release in late 2014.

False Idle

After three albums with uniSEF and sharing the stage with acts like Flatfoot56, Our Corpse Destroyed, and a short tour with FBS, Sef was approached by Thumper Punk Records to release a new project on the up and coming label. With that offer, False Idle was born. With the release of the 6 song EP “Hymns Of Punk Rock Praise” in September of 2010, the band was busting back into the scene. Sef called up his good friend, and former uniSEF band mate, Tyler Lewis for second guitar and mic-shredding duties. With the addition of the drummer from the EP recordings, Matt Lagusis, alongside former worship leader, Seth Warren on bass, False Idle finally had a solid lineup. With enthusiastic reviews from Indie Vision Music, Jesus Freak Hideout, and after making HM Magazine’s “Pick of the Litter” column in the November/December 2010 issue, the guys knew it was time to get to work on original music.

After months of writing and recording, the “I Refuse” EP was released in the spring of 2011. Producing a finely-tuned live show, the band started turning some heads.

With the eventual heavy-hearted departure of Matt from the band, the all-around musical magician, Phil Harris, who had previously filled in on guitar after Sef broke his wrist, came on as the full-time drummer. And with that, False Idle’s lineup was solidified.

But in the back of all of the band mates’ minds was the drive to write and record an album that would stand head and shoulders above anything else they had ever created. And thus, the debut full-length album, “Threat” was realized. With a growing confidence and surety in the overall identity and sound of the band, each member committed themselves to having a significant part of all aspects of the project. What resulted was a completely unique joint effort that incorporated the influences and ideas of every member. Phil said of the album, “We all have a pretty diverse taste in music and I think it reflects well in the writing. We tried to challenge ourselves and think a little outside of the “normal” punk sound, while still making a great punk record. In the end, I would say we accomplished just that, staying true to our sound but being able to branch out and give new things a try.” Sef added, “We all wrote on the album, so it has a lot of differences from song to song. Everything from 30 second super fast songs, to dynamic compositions, to mellow songs with a little bit of a country edge. Something for everybody…”. Having already been compared in sound to well-known bands like Anti-Flag, Strike Anywhere, xLooking Forwardx, and Rise Against, False Idle is poised to be the next big movement in punk rock. “Threat” boldly ventures into melodic anthems with the tracks, “Where Do We Go”, “In The Dark” and “Among The Dead” while sticking to its straight punk/hardcore roots with “A Tension” and “Sideswipe”. It even braved a folk-punk sound with the title track, “Threat”. But that’s not to say that the creation of this album was anything easy. “Some of the themes of the songs are deeply personal, and it was kind of new territory to put those kinds of insights out there”, commented Seth. It wasn’t just the lyrics that stretched the band as Phil explained. “I have never had to play the drums with that much force and speed before. I have always loved punk, but this is the first punk band that I have played with. I almost had to learn a whole new style of drumming that I wasn’t crazy familiar with.” In any case, “Threat” is a labor of love for False Idle, having worked hard through moments of excitement and frustration, all the while never losing a constant drive to produce punk rock that speaks of hope in a hopeless world.

In the summer of 2013, False Idle recorded an acoustic EP entitled “California Or Bust” as a way of funding their first venture to Southern California for the annual Thumper Punk night in September. The release was a compilation of acoustic versions of songs from “I Refuse” and “Threat”. With a more stripped-down sound, and an intimate feel, FI showed they could slow things down occasionally and get back to their singer/songwriter roots.

The concert at Thumper Punk night didn’t disappoint. In addition to an energetic show from FI, it also featured a reunion set from uniSEF. They RAWKED with Sef on guitar and vocals, Tyler on bass and vocals, and FI’s former drummer, Matt rejoining for the night to revisit the glory days with an awesome set!

Just to keep things interesting, FI has also started an Acoustic Cover Series that features members of the band playing their own acoustic covers of some well known songs. So far, they have recorded covers of songs from Social Distortion, Coheed and Cambria, Rancid, and The Bouncing Souls. With more to come, keep checking FI’s YouTube channel.

In the spring of 2014, the band started talking about recording a split. After talking it over, Sef approached fellow label-mates, A Common Goal, about being the other half of the split. The Boston-based band accepted and the writing and recording process began. Each band put forth two new original songs, as well as a cover of one of the other band’s songs. After watching the seasons fly by, the split has finally been completed! With a December 16th 2014 release date, both bands are staying sharp with these new songs.

In other news, False Idle played to a sell-out crowd for the Boise Music Festival this past summer. They had the honor of following their opening act, Train, on the stage. Actually, it wasn’t a sell-out crowd, and they didn’t play the same stage as Train (or want to), but it WAS fun! New FI fans who didn’t know they liked punk were getting into it as the band upped the energy and got the crowd moving. Maybe the main stage next year. Maybe not…

For the second time, Sef broke his wrist skateboarding and was out of commission for a few shows. As a generation and age-defying renaissance man, he just can’t say no to kickflips and nollies! But hopefully he will pass the skate baton to his rapidly improving and gutsy son, and live vicariously through him from now on, FOR THE GOOD OF THE LISTENERS!!!

But if it seems like there are no more boundaries to demolish for the punkers from Idaho, rest assured, it’s never really over. Amid their ever-changing lives, music is a constant. New music, added shows, and a general willingness to try anything once will keep you guessing about what to expect. Keep checking FI’s Website, Facebook page, Instagram, and ReverbNation to stay in the know!

Fiona Luray

Fiona Luray is an American folk/pop singer-songwriter. Since her career began in 2010 she has released two albums (Rise from the Ashes, 2011 and Lion Heart, 2012), and is currently back home in Boise, ID laying down tracks in the studio for her third album.

Fiona has played countless venues and festivals across the US including Music from Stanley (2011, 2012, 2013), the Bioneers Festival in Scotland (2010), Boise’s Visual Arts Collective (2012), and Higher Ground’s Northern Exposure in Burlington, VT (2013).

Additionally, Fiona was featured on the 2012 Idahoho holiday album and placed in the top three in the 2010 Boise’s Got Talent, and took home the grand prize for the 2011 Redlands competition. She received media attention for her 2012 political mock music video, “Homophobic Senators Suck.”

Aside from playing the guitar, ukulele, and piano while singing melodic lines about life’s search for meaning (i.e. butter, wool flannels, and sometimes love), Fiona enjoys milking jersey cows, a good game of whiffle ball, and saying the word “nun chucks” to make herself seem as fierce as she knows she is, despite her gangly exterior.

You can find Fiona’s music on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, CD Baby, YouTube, and on the local Idaho radio station. Follow Fiona on Facebook for updates and visit Fiona’s Soundcloud page to hear samples from her forthcoming album.

First Borns

If you haven’t heard First Borns and you’re looking for a crib sheet, here you go. You’ll hear some love of the post-punk era.

The bass doesn’t do bass things, in the same way Peter Hook never played bass things. He played Peter Hook things. Christopher Smith plays Christopher Smith things.

You’ll hear the sounds of the girl groups of the sixties. Phil Spector echo everywhere, the “BYE BYE BYE” on “She Does Drugs” calls it out. The drums, a simple VU Moe Tucker take on the “Be My Baby” beat.

You’ll hear the love of the shoe-gaze phenomenon of the 9os. Dense guitars, slathered in distortion and echo find their way into tracks like “Delman.” These are boys of this aesthetic, bound by these loves, but driven in a new direction. They ask you to yearn like they do, for a simpler life, one of teenage love, a soft spot for a world that maybe never existed, but they will help you wish so hard that it did. Maybe it will if you listen hard enough.-Grant Olsen

Fleet Street Klezmer Band

Imagine traveling to a different world. A place where from the streets you could hear the sounds of singing and dancing Hasidic Jews mingling with those of traveling Gypsy caravans. Where Romanian musicians leading a wedding procession through cobblestone streets blend with Russian folk musicians playing their songs with all the intensity of modern punk rock. Not just a bygone fantasy or bizarre internet video mashup, this is what the Fleet Street Klezmer Band create every time they play. A place where spirits ride on waves of wine and song, and fellowship speaks all languages.

In November of 2008, Victoria and Shlomo Kostenko had the idea to develop a band that would allow them to explore their passion for Klezmer, Sephardic Jewish, and Gypsy music. After experimenting with different styles and musicians, Fleet Street Klezmer Band was formed in July of 2009. Starting with Doc Woolf on bass, they added Matt Vorhies on accordion, and two of Boise’s most recognized and respected dancers, Cecilia Rinn and Za’Nyah Zi to complete their current lineup. Together, they have developed a reputation for their unique sound, spirited performances, and professionalism. They have performed at numerous venues and events, including Curtis Stigers’ Xtreme Holiday Extravaganza, Idaho Educators Human Rights Conference, Boise Rec Fest, Meridian Urban Market, and other Go Listen Boise events.

Fueled by a passion for a new sound with classic influences, Foreign Sons has set their sights on melding the two. The four members, each from different musical backgrounds with influences ranging from pop punk to metal, came together in 2013.
Brothers Kyle Josh and Chris along with friend David had a long-time dream of starting a band that would revive the days of true rock ‘n’ roll. The sound that emerged became something reminiscent of the early 2000s rock and the sounds of today’s top artists.
In December of 2013 Foreign Sons released their debut record “Of Want and Wisdom”. The band has completed the first leg of their journey to seeing their dreams become reality. Now, the hope and vision that propels them forward is to create music that invites the masses into the glory of the old age while offering something new and unique.

Fort Harrison is:
Carston Cutler – Guitar/Vocals

Jesse Weidmeier – Bass
Alex Wargo – Lead Guitar
Fort Harrison is a progressive indie rock band from Boise, Idaho. The music is written with complex timing and technical ability in mind. The focus is to remain simple enough to engage any listener. Their latest demo “Drifter” is to be followed up with a full length album. Fort Harrison is known for powerful vocal harmonies, meandering bass lines, nimble drum fills and well placed solos.
A review from local Boise writer known as
Here Comes the Dumptruck:
“…Fort Harrison played next. I’ve known of this group for a while, but this was my first time seeing them. They made quite a first impression: gritty, raspy vocals and harshly elegant guitar fused with sly basslines and nimble, hard-hitting drums. Their reggae groove was no less impressive than their metal barrage, and their throat-shredding shouts didn’t conceal how catchy their tunes were. They got some well-earned whoops and cheers from the audience.”

A “true traditional” bassist with influences from all genres, from pop to metal. Steve has lent his talents to such bands as Basement, Brawl, Evologic, The October Tree, and big name Boises, Malachi. Steve currently pulls “double duty” in both Ghostbox and Malachi. Mychal, our beloved drummer. Mychal truly was the one that finally brought it all together. Mychal can play any style and any tempo that is required. Mychal and Steve played together in the band Basement before he moved on to more of a punk style genre with a band The Scurvy Bastards. Ghostbox has a very unique “multi-genre” feel, all the time keeping it dark and melodic. Ghostbox recorded a “rough demo” of 3 songs in December of 2013 and is looking forward to recording a full length in the spring of 2014. Ghostbox looks forward to seeing and playing for you.

Gizzard Stone

Ryan Wissinger has been a solo performer for 13 years now and is a graduate of the McNally Smith College of Music. After several years off, he is back on the scene and was featured this summer on Idaho Public Radio’s, Music From Stanley. He plays six- and twelve-string acoustic guitars, as well as the electric guitar and harmonica. Ben Brault is arguably one of Idaho’s fastest rising musicians. Playing regularly with the Jeremiah James Gang (Idaho’s top selling artist), his drumming has been an integral part of their success, and his young and incredible talent has taken him far in a short time. Rob Hill is one of Idaho’s hardest working musicians, playing with up to 4 or 5 different bands in any given week. While he is highly sought after, both as a musician and a teacher, his favorite band to play with (out of the many he has to chose from) is Gizzard Stone. He is, without a doubt, one of the best bass players in Idaho. Bernie Reilly, the front man and chief influence of Gizzard Stone, has been a professional musician for over twenty years. He has played successfully on both coasts (NYC & LA) as well as Europe. He has managed to release four albums, as well as sharing songwriting credits with national act, Michele Branch, and even appeared on Jay Leno’s Tonight Show with her. He is the consummate “Swiss Army Musician” and plays the violin, mandolin, guitar, cello, drums, and piano, all with a more than impressive skill level. Gizzard Stone is a tough band to categorize, as it plays in many genres including jazz, honky tonk, rock, reggae, country, and nearly anything else that intrigues us. It is truly a ‘box of chocolates’ type of band; you never know what you’re gonna get.

Guess When Band

Guess When is a five member Celtic Folk Rock band from the Treasure and Gem Valleys of Idaho–four high energy goofy guys in kilts and one sensible gal that wears the pants in the band. Playing a mixture of traditional instruments like fiddle, banjo, and bagpipes, along with drums, guitar, and electric bass to give it a rockin’ back beat, Guess When takes traditional Celtic tunes and meshes them with rock, funk, and even reggae to make an unmistakable sound that is impossible to ignore.
If their music isn’t enough to draw you in, then their energy and antics will. The boys are always cracking jokes, dancing, jumping, picking on each other, engaging the audience, and trying to find new ways to make the fiddle player lose her sense of calm decorum, which only disappears when she starts digging into a set of red hot fiddle tunes.
A Guess When show is a fun filled and rip-roaring, good time for all ages. Occasionally, Guess When gets to play an adults-only venue, such as a pub crawl, and can play some of their very entertaining and sing-along songs that are a bit more ‘R’ rated, unforgettable and hilarious! Wherever the band plays, audiences sing along, dance and laugh right along with the band. Guess When shares Celtic music with a flair and hits their mark with fun, good times and great musicality!
So don’t miss out on opportunity to see Boise, Idaho’s best Celtic Folk Rock band and a great time for everyone.

Phil has performed with many bands in the Treasure Valley, playing anything from blues, jazz, rock and beyond.
Keyboardist Michael T. Spengler loves blues, rock and hip hop. Michael has been playing, writing and performing on guitar most of his musical career, until he recently took the piano up again.

A love for rhythm and all things drum-related, Mike enjoys crafting beats for all types of musical genres. This guy’s crazy beats will force you to dance. Plus, he is probably the happiest.
Bassist Peter Billings thinks Boise needs way more funk, so he will probably slap you silly. With more than three decades writing songs and playing bass in original funk, rock, blues and psychedelic bands in places from Boston to San Francisco to Tokyo, he puts out an irresistible world music groove and puts the icing on the happy cake with some fine vocal harmonies.

High Desert Band

If you like toe-tapping acoustic music with an old-time flavor, you’ll love the High Desert Band from Idaho’s Treasure Valley. They play music ranging from songs that were heard on the American frontier to modern folk and bluegrass, along with a big helping of their own original songs. The group consists of lead singer Randy Helton who excels at flat-picking melodies on his guitar and tickling audiences with his comic songs and the occasional yodel. Randy is also a talented song writer who has won contests with his entertaining and humorous lyrics. Playing upright bass and singing lead and harmony for the High Desert Band is Cathy Bourner. Cathy’s background includes early influence by folk and western style music and in the mid 90’s began playing bass in a bluegrass band. She is a talented singer and is the heart and soul of the band providing a steady beat on her vintage 1939 Kay upright bass, with a signature cowboy boot foot on the bottom. High Desert’s founding member is Jerry Firth, singing harmony and playing mandolin. Jerry’s background includes almost twenty years of playing time in several bluegrass bands in Oregon and Idaho. He is an aspiring luthier, building the instruments he plays. He enjoys playing the variety of music that defines the High Desert Band. Rounding out the line up is the newest member, Kayleigh Jack, a rising young fiddler and singer-song writer from Boise, Idaho. Since childhood, Kayleigh has played classical violin, fiddle, guitar and sang for gospel groups, orchestras, and bands. Naturally gifted with a keen sense of music and memory, Kayleigh performs virtually every genre of music. The group formed in 2003 and stays busy playing at music and art festivals, local farmers markets, as well as many private gigs. The band has a standing weekly gig each Thursday evening at Whitewater Pizza and Pasta located in Meridian on the corner of Eagle Road and Fairview. To learn more about the band, see their performance schedule or book them for your own party or event, visit.

Hillfolk Noir

Filtered through a half-century of folk, country and rock ‘n’ roll, and fed by family history and an affinity for acoustic mountain music, medicine show culture and Depression-era string-band blues, Hillfolk Noir’s peculiar roots gumbo is, like the carnival midway, at once inviting and foreboding. Look no further than 2008’s ”Diggin’ Songs” — a concept album of toe-tapping songs about grave matters — for proof. Hillfolk Noir’s contribution to this century-old language has been described as a dark, country-tinged, swampy-swingin’, hillbilly-delta-blues-ragtime word machine. Acoustic death-folk works, too. Or Junkerdash, the band’s invented name for its singular sound.

Travis and Ali Ward, the husband-and-wife half of Hillfolk Noir’s touring quartet (also featuring Mike Waite (El Dopamine, Lowbelly) and Jared Goodpastor (Boise Rock School)), grew up in Sandpoint, Idaho, a panhandle county seat near the Canadian border where ghostly echoes of the region’s settlers reverberate off the walls of the valley. “We make the music for ourselves because we love it; we are having a great time and hopefully that is infectious,” Travis says. “Music, especially live music, can be such a powerful experience for all kinds of people. Live music is a shared experience – a series of moments that can really change a person’s day or outlook. That being said, our music seems to strike an emotional chord with many people – perhaps because to pull off this really acoustic old-time sound, we sing and play our guts out. Every song.”

Hillfolk Noir has recently (Dec, 2010) released two new records — both on-location field recordings ”Live at the Old Idaho Penitentiary” is a multi-track recording of an eight-piece band performing live in an old prison block at the historical Old Idaho Penitentiary. ”Skinny Mammy’s Revenge” is a series of recordings made in living rooms and cabins. All of the songs were recorded around a single microphone to analog tape. Other notable projects include the aforementioned ”Diggin’ Songs,” the score to a film (”Ibid”) by Frozen River director/Oscar nominee Heather Rae and Russell Friedenberg, and a monthly DVD video subscription project with the Trey McIntyre Project contemporary dance troupe. This project will be released as a combined CD/DVD by the end of 2011. Hillfolk Noir is also nearing completion of a new record, release details still to come. Hillfolk Noir has performed with James McMurtry, Built to Spill, Bonn ie “Prince” Billy, The Devil Makes Three, Yard Dog Road Show, The Caleb Klauder Band, Gerald Collier, Heroes and Villains, Train, Jesse Dayton, the Dusty 45s, Neva Dinova, Neko Case, Justin Townes Earle, Deer Tick, Gourds, Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band and tons of other great acts that you may or may not have heard of.

J.P.Whipple

Basing himself out of places as diverse as Portland Oregon , Arizona and Oostende Belgium , J.P.Whipple lives the life of a post-modern barefoot gypsy taking his one man – eleven piece – “orchestra” with him wherever he travels. Having all the energy of a full band with twice the charisma incorporating styles as incongruous as rock, gypsy-cabaret, country, and swamp blues. Whipple integrates them all into a unique blend he dubs “vagabond roots”. As would be expected, his songs echoes his weary wanderings and are filled with scenes of debauchery, blue collar angst and a slight hint of mysticism that comes from a lifetime of seeking. He accompanies his tragicomedy tales with his “trash” drum kit and whatever lead instrument that seems to suit the song. It could be accordion, Dobro, lap steel guitar, or banjo. Though one man acts are almost prosaic these days, it is rare to find one so dedicated to entertaining today’s short attention span audience. His performances are like Missouri weather. If you don’t like what you hear, wait five minutes.

Since then, I’ve been tirelessly pursuing my musical passions and stable employment in anxious turns. I’ve been writing, recording, and performing songs on my own with my acoustic guitar since before I even went to college. I’m way into melody and structure and dramatic/romantic/accessible lyrics. I can’t bother myself to play anything but open chords anymore, but they’re working really well for me. I like to imagine that my style leans toward pop-punk, but I’m not really paying attention to it. I feel very, very uninteresting when I’m made to describe myself.

Joshua Powell & the Great Train Robbery

“Joshua Powell and the Great Train Robbery” may not fit on a marquis, but the name suits the band just fine. Joshua and his folk band borrowed their brand from a 1903 silent Western and have crafted their sound in that sure-footed Americana tradition ever since. The crux of their music is in the storytelling – stories that embrace the fact that we are all human together. The band has two new releases: The Commonwealth EP, available for free on Noise Trade, and a new LP, Man Is Born For Trouble, available from digital outlets.

The band may have originated in the heartland, but there is something distinctly Southern about their songs. There is dusty peacefulness in the lulling folk that evokes comparisons to Iron and Wine and Fionn Regan, and an unmistakable grit that erupts like a bar fight when the band delves into their rockier side. Joshua and the band spent two years in Indiana perfecting this duality as they played every Midwest bar and coffeehouse that would have them.

Their self-produced debut EP, We All Say Hello, enjoyed immense exposure and success on Noise Trade in 2011, sharing the chart with acts like The Civil Wars and Young the Giant. They subsequently released their first full length, Traveler, which Stereo Subversion heralded as having “diverse harmonies” and “immense depth,” and followed up in 2013 with their newest record, Man Is Born For Trouble, which honed in on the lush Appalachian timbre for which they aimed.

These gigs have included opening for touring acts Mike Watt, Starfucker, and the BellRays. A recent review described our sound as ”dark dusty music . . . likely to make the devil jump up on a hickory stump.”
We will be hitting the road with ReVoLtReVoLt in March this year for a nation-wide tour of 26 shows in ten states, supporting them and their new album release.
Our full-length album, Dreams of the Dying, Light of the Living, was produced, recorded, and mixed by Faust member Steven Wray Lobdell (who recorded Built to Spill’s You In Reverse, as well as some of Modest Mouse’s latest album, We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank) at Audible Alchemy in Portland, Oregon.
Influences include classic rock ranging from the Beatles and Pink Floyd to the Grateful Dead—as well as 90’s indie acts Ween, Flaming Lips, and Super Furry Animals—with some Tex Ritter, Woody Guthrie, and Miles Davis thrown in for good measure.

Jupiter Holiday

Freedom from false boundaries of genre, Jupiter Holiday explodes as a volcano of sound spewing molten lava over high peaks and through low valleys, resulting in the delicate balance between beauty and mayhem
From heavy metal to reggae to bluegrass to smooth progressive funk-jazz, Jupiter Holiday delivers with full imagination.
After six years, Jupiter Holiday has created a generous array of material out of experimentation and hard work. For it’s members, Jupiter Holiday offers the chance to help recreate the magic that music has brought into all of humankind. “We’re just playing our part in the expression of one of the highest forms of communication” explains bassist, Kreed Kleinkopf. “Music is the facilitator and the product of every human emotion. For most of the musicians I know and admire, music is their religion. It is an opportunity to communicate with and express the divine. What we’re trying to do with Jupiter Holiday is to offer an audience something completely different than they’ve ever experienced before.”
While you can hear the raw power of their 1960’s and 70’s influences, you’ll also hear modern dance music influences like hip-hop and disco-tech. These modern influences come primarily from the precise, pulsating beats fashioned by drummer, Jason Grazian. Set against the beautifully funky arrangements by guitarist Michael Bassett and the thick spacey groove from bassist, Kreed Kleinkopf, Jupiter Holiday creates some of the most catchy, booty-shaking music heard around these lands. Add the sonic dissonance of Shaun Palmer on the soul-searing lead guitar, and you truly have something exciting and unique.
History:
Jason Grazian and Mike Bassett have been playing together since they were in Borah High School Drum Corps together. In 2002, Jason met bassist Kreed Kleinkopf in a class they shared, where they spent more time talking about music than about the class material. Together, the three talked about forming a band for over 2 years. Finally in 2005, Kreed began to practice with Mike, Jason and a variety of other musicians until they met Shaun Palmer and solidified their line-up.
In 2012 Jupiter Holiday will record their first full-length LP. “I think the album will be built out of playing live mostly. We are looking to tour in the spring and summer of 2012 and this will help us develop our music spiritually and emotionally,” says Bassett. “We don’t know where the road will take us with this journey, but we’re going to try to make it epic.”

From 1998 to 2007, Kelly played in the band CrashFour and had many successes, including being voted Best Rock and Alternative Band in Boise Weekly’s Best of Boise, performing at SXSW, and being sponsored by Budweiser and Bose. For the past two years, Kelly took a break from performing and concentrated on writing and recording. “I got a little burned out from playing out so much. It has been nice to be able to just sit back and write and record without the pressure of performing,” says Kelly Martin. “Another End” took over five years to write. “This is the most personal album I have ever written,” says Kelly Martin. The album ranges from songs about love, hate, and anxiety disorders to Kelly’s most personal song “Should I” about his adoption and the decision of whether or not to reunite with his birth mother. This album has been a collaboration of many talented musicians from the Boise area. Becca Gourley, producer of “Another End,” has worked closely with Kelly and is also a former member of the band CrashFour. “I have been bouncing ideas off of Becca for years, so it just made sense for her to be such a large part of it,” says Kelly Martin. Rob Hill (Bass) and Scott Lindbloom (Drums) are from the band Stella and set the frame work for most of the album, while Josh Olswanger (Piano), Becca Gourley (Violin), Mark Doubleday (Cello), Dan Castello (Classical Guitar), and Russ Pfeifer(Organ) added the color.

Lee Penn Sky

It was a cold January day on a remote highway in Idaho. A young man stopped to help other travelers who were trapped in an overturned truck. As the man was working to rescue them, another car skidded off the road and struck him at highway speed. That man was Lee Penn Sky.

On that grey day, Lee almost lost his life and nearly lost his leg; what he did lose was his fear. Until this day, Lee had been a prolific songwriter but never stepped from behind the shelter of a band into the spotlight himself. The risk of stepping into the spotlight seemed to pale in comparison to nearly losing his life. Slowly as he healed he began to writing new songs and perform them himself. Healing from his severe injuries gave Lee time to figure out who he wanted to be as an artist, time to hone his skills and style.

Lee plays folk-oriented songs that span the Americana range, and are rooted in his Michigan childhood and the high-plains desert of Idaho, where he now resides. He has an affinity for Texan songwriters like Robert Earl Keen, Steve Earle, Willie Nelson, and the late great Townes Van Zandt. While these artists inform Lee Penn Sky’s music, he doesn’t emulate his heroes. Instead, his style has been described as Counting Crows meets Greg Brown meets “a milder, slightly more melodic and less manic version of Joe Cocker” to give you “Acoustic Soul.” Prelude to Hindsight is Lee Penn Sky’s first offering as a solo artist. Songs from his album have been played on folk radio shows through out the United States and internationally, especially in the Dutch speaking countries. He has been well received in alt-country and roots music press. His song “Michigan” is being used commercially by Michiganmittens.com.

Lee Penn Sky has played at many festivals and fairs, such as the Western Idaho Fair, Boise’s Hyde Park Street Fair, the First Annual Idaho Wine Festival, the Idaho Festival of the Arts and the World United Music Festival.

Often compared to earlier Who/The High Numbers and later Alex Chilton, Like A Rocket mix great Alt-Pop with deep cut NOLA R&B to bake a blisteringly funky cake. A serious love of dancing and rhythm, the songs, fast or slow, have something to move your body. At the same time the lyrics are extremely personal, about broken relationships with mates, band mates and the surrounding world of politics and dissatisfaction. You find yourself grooving along while picking up on choruses that speak to the world around you

Led by singer/guitarist Speedy Gray, Like A Rocket is a dynamo live. Dancing around tempos and dynamics, seeing them was like seeing a band that I could say ”I saw them when”
Eb and flow like waves crashing on a beach, Gray engaged the audience with stories and a demand to get up and get involved, both on the dance floor and tomorrow when the show was over.

Gray is an award wining songwriter getting nods from heavy hitters such as NPR’s nationally broadcast Mountain Stage. I found that even the lighter poppy fare like ”Every Time Sweet” had a deeper pathos that I didn’t expect. Politics also weigh heavy in Gray’s songs, a demand that we take action to make our lives count. Definitely check this band out now!

Lounge on Fire

Lounge on Fire is a raucous, rowdy, rambunctious repertoire of
raciness. Shaking dance floors since 2013, Lounge on Fire has been the
hairy-chested music child of Josh Gilmore and Nathan Norton, with a
rotating cast of members from many other Boise acts. Featuring chunky
rhythm guitar, quasi-rapped vocals, vigorous basslines, and a beastly
horn section, the sound of Lounge on Fire attempts to capture and
build on traditional funk and rock by infusing jazz, Latin, punk, and
hip hop rhythms and melodies.

This group has played with many local acts, such as Northern Giants,
Marshall Poole, Bread and Circus, and Thick Business, and has recently
opened up for touring acts such as The Suffers, Orgone, St. Paul & the
Broken Bones, Royal Southern Brotherhood, Turkuaz, The Polyrhythmics,
Ural Thomas & The Pain, Budo, Shaprece, and Otis Heat. It is also
worth mentioning that the band has performed in Treefort Music
Festival every year that the group has been together.

The performance of the show can be as much an attraction of the music
itself, and it often features the members of the band dancing, fuzzy
and relatively shirtless men, and the horn section spontaneously
running out into the crowd (and sometimes collapsing due to low blood
sugar) to give the audience a more personal experience of their sound.

God is my number one priority, and He is my light in this crazy world. And last but not least, I love music.

I believe that music has a way to the heart. For the last three years, writing has been my passion, singing has been my love, and music has been my way of life. I have never had a guitar or voice lesson in my life, but it hasn’t stopped me from doing what I loved. I want to inspire people with my music.

James Dean said, “Dream as if you’ll live forever, and live as if you’ll die today.” This quote is how I will live my life. At 16 years, I know that I don’t have a whole lot of life experience, but I like to think that when I am older I will be able to look back and smile at what I’ve done.

Thanks to everyone that’s allowing me to live my dream! I love you all!

Michael Gill

Michael Gill is currently creating music in the Boise, Idaho area. He has formed a small acoustic band of talented musicians and is currently entertaining fans and music lovers with narrative and introspective songwriting. His desire is to share the stories, beliefs, and history of the area to help connect the people with their culture. The lyrical themes span from more popular subjects such as love, heartbreak and change, to obscure yet touching stories about American history, local geography, and unwritten stories. The music finds its roots in bluegrass, folk, and more recent influences in the independent, neo-classical acoustic sphere. The melodies of his music and vocals span from low and soothing tones to high falsettos and impressive instrumental intensity and the harmonies of the band vocals are a perfect blend for easy and interesting listening. Michael began writing songs while in college in Indianapolis and learned to play multiple instruments and sing while growing up in the cold, dark winters of northern Wisconsin. His many travels have brought him to Boise, where the experience continues.

Midnight Legs // Marathon Lungs

“Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent.” Perhaps it is in aspiring to understand this musing from the brilliant Victor Hugo that the direction of Midnight Legs // Marathon Lungs has been influenced. Choosing to let their instruments be the main contributors in shaping the emotive aura they wish to create, they refrain from subscribing to the traditional vocals-prominent aesthetic used by most bands. They stand to prove that a guitar voicing, a bass chord, or a snare-drum hit can together convey what words fail to do. However, they don’t completely exclude the human voice from their music; it does sparsely grace their songs, which distinguishes them from other instrumental rock artists. The melodies sang and the words uttered over their compositions gently express what their absence would be incapable of. This approach and this sound make Midnight Legs // Marathon Lungs a unique experience for the listener, and a reflective moment where one may feel through music in a distinct and different way.

MOSTECELO

Mostecelo is the darkly comic, and often serious, cross cultural musical project of J. Rebeca Suarez. Subtly using black humour, she sets biting lyrics to music that is modern, yet classicly rich. She hauntingly chronicles all the horrible, absurd, and wonderful things that happen in life with an ironic sense of comfort.

Born in Kentucky, Suarez was raised by her Venezuelan mother and musician stepfather from Idaho, where she grew up. Having artists and musicians on both sides of her family, she was constantly influenced and sometimes bombarded with cultural contradictions and crises of identity. She first realized she wanted to be a musician at the age of 8 when she saw a picture of Stewart Copeland behind a drumset and thought it was the coolest thing she’d ever seen.

Ever since, she’s been on a spastic, moody musical pursuit that has led her through various studies, bands, performance groups… and finally to Mostecelo, her first solo project. She has studied music and performed throughout various parts of the United States, South America, Africa and Europe.

Her influences include Skip James, Queen, David Bowie and Chopin, but her style is clearly unique. While each of her songs explores a new world, it is her voice that threads her body of work together. Her music breathes with a controlled temper and calming ease that defies the pervasive sense of loss and misunderstanding embedded in her words. It is music that holds you.

Nate Fowler

With his new 6 song EP it is clear to feel the maturity that Nate Fowler has gained through his song writing and performance in the past 3 years. Recorded at The Mix House Studio in Boise, ID Fowler had the opportunity to experience working with great musicians such as Dave Goetter, who also co-produced the CD and Scott Pergande who mixed and mastered the album. “I want everyone that hears this album to feel a story within the music. I want each song to be an experience, a soundtrack to a real life story,” Fowler says about his sophmore EP. As a self-taught musician, Fowler never really considered the possibility of becoming a “real” performing and recording artist until beginning to dabble in home studio recording in high school. His guitar playing/songwriting began as an avenue of relaxation as well as an attempt to make sense of the adolescent turmoil he experienced due to the family move and the longing for the familiarity and comfort of home. In 2003 Fowler recorded his freshman project called, “The Crashings”. This 5 song EP was recorded and produced by Tyler Archer and Fowler in the attic of Archer’s Boise home. In 2003 Fowler jumped head first into the music industry with an eight-week music tour of South America at the age of 17. Just two years later, Nate headed for South West India on another eight-week music tour. Since then, Fowlers’ acoustic act has shared the stage with such acts as: Collective Soul, Hawk Nelson, Remedy Drive , The Listening, Sixteen Cities, and many others. With the experience of touring under his belt the maturity of songwriting began to develop within his music, which leads us into his new album. Fowlers’ ability to relate to any audience through his soulful, heartfelt lyrics of love, pain, passion and hope are present through his on stage performance. This aspiring 24 year old creates live performances that are memorable to his audience with his solo acoustic act or accompanied by his full backing band.

Ned Evett & Triple Double

In 1990, after playing in endless cover bands, seasoned guitarist Ned Evett smashed his Strat onstage. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, Ned recovered the unbroken neck, removed the frets, and developed a groundbreaking style that is all his own.

That’s just the beginning of the wonder that is Ned Evett. Four of his last five solo records feature Ned’s amazing voice, which seems to defy comparison. The songs he sings are his own, drawn from his experiences and wise observations about the world around him. They run the gamut from instrumental beauties to hard-rocking blues, and everything in between.

Ned’s January 3, 2012 release “Treehouse” is a 14 song diary of love, loss, redemption, and the future told in Ned’s mesmerizing voice, accompanied by Ned’s trademark fretless mirrored glass and steel resonator, the “Globro” and his glass-necked electrics.

Obscured By The Sun

Obscured By The Sun is an instrumental high desert rock trio from Boise, Idaho. Initially formed in February 2013, Obscured By The Sun has been driven purely by the desire to create dynamic music with abnormal sonic textures. They have been able to develop a signature sound by not shying away from the challenge of filling musical space with just one guitar, one bass and one drum set. OBTS is, at its essence, a musical expedition that continues to venture further and further away from common and convenient musical structures. This boundary-pushing approach comes from each members’ collective interest in obscure film scores, fuzz and visually stimulating sound sources.

Original Jim – A Modern One Man Band

Music from a songwriter grown in the Pacific Northwest

Multi-looping original compositions into full form arrangements, Jim lays down a solid foundation for his tunes; taking on groove, soul, funk, jazz and more.  Utilizing his guitar, a strong voice, his natural sense of rhythm and the unique talent of vocal percussion, Original Jim performs songs that are eclectic in nature, catchy and heartfelt with a groove all their own. Jim writes and performs with a multi-function loop pedal that allows him to build arrangements live,  piece by piece on stage, accenting different parts of his ‘one man band’. Born in Seattle and raised in the shadows of Mt. Pilchuck, Jim spent his childhood playing in the forests and rivers of Snohomish County.  Not until late in High School did he learn that he could sing, and that he liked it; immediately forming his first vocal group.  Later still, did Jim pick up the guitar and begin writing his own music. For the past few years, Jim has been developing his original sound by writing and arranging in a style of music he’s been referring to as beatbox driven soul rock or ‘Beatbox Soul’, a title to which he attached his debut solo recording. Each song is stamped with his original signature: A bluesy soul-rock powered by live beatbox multi-loops, rhythm guitar and lush, jazzy vocals all put to laid back music that’s fresh and groovy. With mic in hand, guitar at the ready and pedal board in tow, ‘Original Jim’ continues to wow audiences with creative solo arrangements inspired by a pop sensibility and a jazzy, bluesy style.

Pat McDonald & the Tropical Cowboys

Pat McDonald is a singer-songwriter based in Boise, Idaho. He and his uplifting band the Tropical Cowboys have been performing for the last few years at several local venues. Their fun and joyful performances, filled with Pat’s inspiring music and lyrical wisdom, have already attracted a large local fan-base. The ”Islanders” as they call themselves enjoy singing along, dancing, hugging, waving ribbons and bouncing beach balls wherever the Cowboys play!

The Music? In Pat’s words…
”I grew up with the Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, James Taylor, John Denver and the like, so you can definitely hear those influences in my music. I enjoy writing unexpected chord sequences and melodies. I’ve always been attracted to spiritually oriented messages of my many teachers. I resonate with words that emphasize love, compassion, kindness and the Universal Truth of what/who we are. My desire is that every being on the planet comes to realize how loved and worthy they are. Love is the central theme of most of my songs. I think that’s why so many people respond to them in such a positive way.”

Here’s a Nice Quote from an Eloquent Islander:
”A performance by Pat McDonald & the Tropical Cowboys must be seen live to really appreciate the pure Joy that permeates the space, connecting Pat, the band and the audience. It is a truly uplifting experience!”

About the band…

Pat McDonald – Songwriter, Guitar & Lead Vocal

Pat is the co-founder of Saturday Island (where everyday is Saturday). He lives there with his wife and kids. Occasionally the powers-that-be mysteriously download a song into his head and he rushes out to share it with whomever will listen. He’s working on a CD which should be finished around the time that CD’s no longer exist. He comes in peace and would like to be your friend.

Frank McDonald – Bass Guitar & Vocals

Frank has been playing with Pat McDonald since they were kids and playing music and singing with him since they were teenagers. He is a dynamic bass-player and his voice blends perfectly with Pat’s (almost as though they were brothers!) They can often be found laughing and drinking copious amounts of coffee and/or beer around town.

Phil Bowden – Drums & Vocals

The unflappable always affable, Phil Bowden has played drums for over 20 years and now plays for the Tropical Cowboys as well as the Center for Spiritual Living Band every Sunday in Boise. This amazingly wonderful fellow has worked with teens over the past 14 years by leading youth groups and attending multiple summer-teen camps as a counselor, sponsor and campfire sing-a-long leader.

Rex Miller – Keyboards & Vocals

Rex is an accomplished musician, performer, woodworker, connoisseur of tequila and fine beers as well as a songwriter extraordinaire. Rex began studying piano at age eleven and then went outside to play with his friends for a while. He received his training in classical piano and music theory at The University of Washington. Rex has been the musical director and leader of an unnamed band for more than 10 years at the Center for Spiritual Living in Boise.

Sandra Cavanaugh – Percussion, Musical “Sprinkles” & Vocals

Sandy is an angel with an angelic voice who seems to have more hours in a day than the rest of us poor mortals. She has worked extensively as a director, producer, writer, actress, public speaker, singer/songwriter, consultant, child-herder and educator. She can also recite every single line of many fine films.

Patricia Folkner

Patricia Folkner, of Boise, Idaho, is an accomplished guitarist/singer who blends jazz and folk into her own unique style and sound—a sound that keeps listeners engrossed. She’s a guitarist, not just a player, with chops that most guys envy. And her vocals….clear and beautiful. Pat is the antithesis of the raw, edgy, angst-ridden singer/songwriter. Her playing and singing can be summed up as “smooth and sophisticated”, and, as many a fan has stated, she’s “very, very easy on the ears”.

Patrick Dansereau

I was born and raised in Santa Barbara, California, where I had the privilege of growing up home-schooled. I started playing guitar when I was 8 and writing my own songs when I was 14.

My style of music is a blend of acoustic singer/songwriter and
funk/blues/reggae. My original songs are unique, with messages that convey hope, love, and freedom.

A little more about myself:

I’ve worked in the construction industry full-time for several years now and I love creating art at all levels.

My dad’s side of the family is French Canadian, and so I’ve got lots of family in Quebec, where I’ve lived on and off in the last few years. Living there, I found lots of inspiration for many of the songs I’ve written. Presently, I record demo versions of my music in my home-recording studio and then post them online for free. If you would like to support me you can buy my demo album online @ http://patrickdansereau.bandcamp.com/

I’m hoping that by sharing my demo CD’s now, it will help spread my tunes and help build a fan base and support group to fund a professional full-length, commercial quality album of my original songs some day in the near future!

When I write songs I find inspiration from #1) My God and Savior, #2) my life experiences such as traveling, living in different cultures, observing the way people act and think. And of course, #3) all the great musicians out there who have written such beautiful music, such as…

Influences:

Jack Johnson, Ray LaMontagne, Ari Hest, Michael Kiwanuka, Rosi Golan, Iron and Wine, Neil Halstead, Mindy Smith, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Josh Turner, Mat Kearney and so many more. I’m thankful for all the great musical influences I’ve had in life. I look forward to all the amazing songs that are yet to be created. Come along for the ride, the doors are open wide.

Paul Dragone

My main influences are indie rock-n-roll and delta blues. I play my National guitar finger-style with a lot of slide. There’s some sort of eastern sitar-like thing also happening at times. My lyrics are mostly centered around universal themes like love and compassion. I also play a fair amount of instrumental pieces that leave room for improvisation. My hope is that my music is somehow uplifting.
I do have one video on youtube, look up Paul Dragone-Old Generator.

Poke

Educated in Austin by Willie, Stevie Ray, Wayne the Train, and other legendary Texas performers, B-Rad learned up close and personal about western swing, country, blues, while living next door to the Hickoids. Bearing witness to legendary riverside festivals, late night brawls, and Sunday walks of shame back from Nuevo Laredo, B-Rad picked up a guitar and started crafting his own stories, some true.

After a stint in dreamy Santa Barbara, he ended up in the ultimate trucker’s town, Boise, Idaho, a town where the Big Rigs used to make way through the busiest part of town, gearing down in front of the Capitol steps. After a few years in various bands (Rowdy Yates, Exit 51, the Red Fords), he happened across a young cow-billy by the name of Diesel, who had played bass in a punk-rock band. Right there and then, Poke was born.

B-Rad told Diesel he’d buy a new doghouse bass if he learned to play it. Diesel couldn’t believe when it arrived from A-town back in 2004. Diesel’s doghouse provides the boom-chucka, clickity-clack rhythm to get Poke headin’ down the track. Smokin’ J was raised on a steady diet of great drummers, and gobbled up all of the right things. Jay joined in on the fun without one rehearsal, and has never laughed harder. Boise veteran pickers rotate through the line-up, including ‘Johnny Shoes’ Pisano on guitar and mandolin; ‘Shakey’ Dave Manion on Tele and steel guitar; and Bernie Reilly on fiddle, accordion, and organ.

Poke is packin’ the bars with the Poke Nation … not an army yet, but at least a battalion singin’, clappin’, and shoutin’ on cue. Dancing bears, stage-stop hold-ups, cuttin’ heads, and fillin’ dance floors with tales of windswept truck-stop beauties, and weekend runs on the border. Is it Punk, is it Rock-a-billy, or is it Country? Real Country. Oh, its country alright. Hell yeah, its country.

The Rock / Progressive / Jam rock outfit Pravda hails from Boise Idaho in the Pacific Northwest.

Pravda’ s sound combines the best of Old & New Progressive Rock with tinges of Jazz and Classical influences baked with Heavy Metal drive and stomp mixed with the looser Jam band influences.

Pravda has released 3 CDs.
Their third CD, Monophobic, has the group progressing even more as musicians and song writers. The CD has abundant epic spaces reminiscent of Pink Floyd and powerful chops in the vein of Dream Theater. A true aural feast.

Their second CD, Walking Through Walls, is a powerhouse of rhythmic, melodic, virtuosic, complex composing and playing.

The first CD, THe Echoing Sounds, is a concept CD of war and the struggles to find one’s own moral ground amidst the brutality of war. Told through the eyes of a young girl, a priest and a soldier.

At age 12 she began her career as a writer which led her to become a multi-faceted Hip Hop Artist. By 19years young she was performing in clubs, venues, and house parties throughout the Northwest and quickly earned a name for herself as a diversified lyricist. She is not only a fresh face to the industry but a breath of fresh air. Do not put her in the category of a ”rapper” but being a true lyricist is definitely a category she falls into. The difference you might ask, is that a lyricist rhymes from the heart and expresses feeling(s) in every spoken word.In 2010 the Puerto Rican Princess founded Cloud Surfin’ INC. © a music company where she now works as both its President and Artist. Clearly, she demonstrates the raw talent that she possesses and the strong outlook that she has on life.

Red Light Challenge

Red Light Challenge is made up of brothers Sean (23) and Kyle (18) Luster, who are both valedictorians, athletes, and multi-instrumentalists. Although the band consists of only two members, they continue to create huge-sounding songs both live and in the studio using their high energy attitude and skills on guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, trumpet, trombone, and more. The brothers have developed a unique sound coming from Hawaii, incorporating British Invasion songwriting, multi-part harmonies, R&B danceability, guitar-driven electricity, as well  as popular sounds of today. Their many original songs contain memorable melodies and catchy choruses bound to hook new audiences everywhere.

The band strives to make each live performance a full-blown concert experience, regardless of venue or audience size. The brothers from Red Light Challenge pride themselves on consistently putting on high-energy live shows with huge-sounding songs. Both their electric and acoustic set lists always contain original songs and a wide range of cover songs by artists such as The Beatles, Foo Fighters, The Black Keys, Bruno Mars, and many more. Keen on doing the unexpected, Red Light Challenge’s live covers often contain elements of a variety of songs from multiple genres, surprising audiences with their breadth of musical awareness and song arrangement talents. In Hawaii, the band can be seen regularly at Anna O’Briens, Station Bar and Lounge, and many other venues and events, including the 50th State Fair and the Spam Jam Festival.
Since forming in 2009 under the name “Just Us 2”, Red Light Challenge was rebranded in February of 2013 after already receiving many opportunities and accolades. During 2010, the band was featured on the local variety television show “Entertain Me!” on KHON-TV2, where they performed two original songs. The duo also won Best Song Composition for one of their originals at the local “Brown Bags to Stardom”2010 competition. To expand beyond their local successes, the band self-booked a modest national tour performing at Six Flags inCalifornia, Missouri, and Texas, as well as major shopping malls. They threw out hundreds of fabric leis and “Live Aloha” buttons, spreading aloha at each stop. The brothers continued performing and writing music after this tour as Sean worked on his B.S. in Business Administration and Marketing, graduating Summa Cum Laude in 2013.
After becoming Red Light Challenge in 2013, the band self-booked a massive 42-show, 16-state Summer Tour spanning from Colorado to New England and back home to Hawaii, with performances at Pyramid and Simon group malls, as well as Hershey Park, Six Flags New England, KOAs, the Buckeye Lake Festival, and many more. They continued to throw out leis and “Live Aloha” buttons at every performance. The brothers gained priceless experience being on the road for close to two months, performing for thousands of new audience members and returned to Hawaii invigorated and ready to keep progressing, writing and recording many new songs into the new year.
In November of 2014, Red Light Challenge made history by being the first band from Hawaii to earn a Los Angeles Music Award. They were presented the prestigious ‘Hot AC Artist of the Year’ award at The Avalon Hollywood in honor of their songwriting and touring accomplishments. While in Los Angeles, the band had the opportunity to meet Producer/Engineer Warren Huart (Aerosmith, The Fray, James Blunt, etc.) and started solidifying plans to record a four-song EP together.
During Kyle’s spring break of his senior year of high school, the brothers ventured to California to record four original songs with Warren Huart, on what would be the band’s first time working with a producer. The songs chosen specifically for this EP show off Red Light Challenge’s songwriting abilities, energy, and musical dexterity, with an entirely modern sound. Their EP, entitled Lookout Mountain, will be available in the summer of 2015.
In addition to their performing and recording efforts, Sean and Kyle have always held the importance of giving back to the community. The brothers constantly volunteer in Hawaii, working with public schools, the Special Olympics, and more. The band has been working with the National Kidney Foundation of Hawaii, producing a song to spread awareness and putting on a community event that was featured in a documentary produced by the foundation, which aired on KGMB and KHNL in June of 2015. In the beginning of 2014, Red Light Challenge started its own non-profit community-involvement program called “Red Light Challenge, Green Light Go”. This program was created to have events where the band goes to schools around the world to play music for students and promote striving for excellence in the arts, academics, and athletics. Events have already taken place on Oahu and in California.
Red Light Challenge has constantly been featured in various media outlets in Hawaii and around the world. In print and online, the brothers have been featured in the Midweek, MyPearlCity.com, and the Honolulu Star Advertiser. On the radio, music has been aired on KUCD 101.9, KKOL 107.9 and the live Perry and Price Saturday Morning Show on KSSK 92.3, as well as 102.5 FM in the UK (Sound Art Radio). On television, the band has also appeared on Sunrise-Hawaii News Now and the KITV4 Morning Show. Red Light Challenge has also been recognized by the Fukunaga Scholarship foundation, Hawaii State Councilmember Ron Menor, and U.S. Representative Colleen W. Hanabusa for their many accomplishments and contributions to the community.

RevoltRevolt began in August of 2007. Christopher Böck (guitar/vox), was showcasing material from his solo project, and was striving for something more sonically loaded. Something without limits. ReVoLtReVoLt. Chris invited Jason Serna to play drums, and Bass player Ben Brunn (Nevada Bachelors), joined the line up a year later in 2008.

The band was successful in the Northwest and garnered reviews that gave comparisons such notable acts as Sonic Youth, Flaming Lips, Dinosaur Jr, Jesus Mary Chain, and The Cure. Friend Jack Endino invited the band to his studio in Seattle, and while hanging out said, “You guys sounded kinda like the Pixies, but you don’t sound just like the Pixies…and I mean that as a good thing” The band pressed forward playing shows all of 2008 looking for the right studio to capture their live sound.

RevoltRevolt’s debut album “Chordata” did just that (released November 17, 2009-Spark and Shine). The record was comprised of 12 songs recorded at Egg Studios (Seattle, Wa) with Conrad Uno. The band traveled the United States tenaciously throughout 2009 and 2010 in support.

In the months of Sept/Oct/Nov 2010, ®® blasted out a 43 date National Tour of the United States with Idaho friends Built to Spill. Great reviews followed, and ®® was stoked to have the opportunity to share their music with BTS fans.

Following the tour, ®® set their sights on EGG Studios with Conrad Uno at the helm again for album #2. Sessions at EGG ran from June 22-25 of 2011, and the new album consisting of 8 tracks is set to be released in Spring of 2012.

Shortly after the recordings, ReVoLtReVoLt sweated out a 4 week Summer Tour of the United States that ran July-August.

Guitar player Ralph Mugot recently joined the band in November, providing a richer live sound, and new energy to the band.

Northwest dates are wrapping up for Fall 2011, and in 2012 RevoltRevolt will head to SXSW music festival as part of a 4 week tour of the states.

CRAZY AWESOME UPCOMING METALCORE BAND!!!!!!

Genre

Scorch The Fallen

Out of Boise, Idaho are five headstrong-dedicated musicians with only one thing screaming out of their heads, fucking metal. Originally formed in 2010 with four members that quickly evolved into the band they are today with five, they continue to evolve as musicians and collaborate on the writing process to bring disaster to your neighborhood. They bring music that has the structural influences of All Shall Perish, Thy Art is Murder, and Lamb of God. They bring riffing back like Lamb of God and Pantera, bass heavy riffs like Beyond Creation, Tool, and Abiotic. The ivories heavily influenced by Winds of Plague, The Browning, and Born of Osiris. And the Vocals are what make this project sound apart from the rest.
Currently we have Shawn Gilbert on Vocals, Kevin Overton on Guitar, Krystle Cabeltera on Keys, Stefan Henshaw on Bass, and Kyle Jellerson on drums. Each musician brings their own influences to the table and as a whole are able to create the disasterpiece they’ve sought out from early in each of their individual careers as musicians. They bring gut wrenching breakdowns with dual riffing on the bass and guitar, to the melodic finger-dancing from the keys player to bring some depth to the bass and guitar. Then there are the drums, technical at best and tasteful at the same time to bring out the punchiness of every transition and emphasize the progressive structure of each piece. Lastly, the vocals top it off with influences of deathcore and punk to bring the edge, to show how pissed off they really are, and to bring that to their audience in a less than classy fashion.

For nearly 20 years, Sef has focused most of his musical efforts as a lead singer, guitarist and song-writer for bands such as Two Spare Months, Strong Point, uniSEF, and currently, the Boise based, False Idle.

In 2008, Sef took a quick stab at solo writing when he recorded a song called “Get Back Up” under the name of Just Plain Sef. The song was never officially released in 2008, but it eventually saw daylight when, thanks to Thumper Punk Records, it was released as part of the uniSEF discography in 2012. Ever since recording Get Back Up, Sef has toyed with the idea of putting in the time to record a solo project, but was just never able to find the time to do it. As his band, False Idle, took some much needed time off in the winter of 2013-14, that journey began. This is the result…

What happens when a compulsive eater, a raging nymphomaniac and a functioning alcoholic collide? Dragons are born! Shabby Dragons, to be exact. We had a lot of trouble coming up with bands we are like for our profile, because really, we are a mish-mash of all of our various influences, our personalities, and the things we carry with us. This veritable witch’s brew makes for a very unique brand of music. What we have in common, however, is our love for what we create together. Somehow, out of the chaos of our musical differences and similarities, comes something real, heartfelt, and fundamentally magical, even if it is a bit shabby.

Spencer Batt / Soul Serene

Born and raised on a hop farm in the Snake River Valley, Spencer Batt has grown into a man connected to the Idaho land. He taught himself how to play guitar during his teenage years and has been writing hundreds of songs since (most of which have yet to be heard). His lyrics speak to the ups and downs of life, the issues in society, the human desire to find meaning, and the greatest of all – love and happiness. The sound he finds echos the retro soul and vinyl sounds of greats such as Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Spencer’s inspirations in life are abundant, but those that matter most are rooted in his family’s background. He comes from a large family of hard working and passionate individuals. He shares the music with his father, Reed, who is soulful on the keys. Reed’s impact on Spencer’s drive to create, share, and enjoy music as a vessel of communication to all people is something to be honored. Spencer hopes to spend his life sharing the gift of music with as many people as he can reach.

With Steady Rush, audiences get a two-for-one sound. Combine Kylie Hartman’s Blues/Rock flare and Molly Fiorentino’s mash-up of Mediterranean Pop and Dance Club sounds, and listeners are guaranteed a memorable show. This unique Pop duo is one to remember. From their distinct voices to their prominent looks, these two performers complement each other in true yin-yang fashion. With such contrasting backgrounds, it’s amazing that these young ladies work together so harmoniously.

Kylie Hartman grew up with a constant desire to perform. Before she was even old enough to be enrolled in school, she was performing in front of cameras. Her flare for entertainment, evident in her bold stage presence, became the hallmark of countless home videos. At the age of 10, Hartman’s dad taught her how to strum her very own 6-string. Throughout the rest of her adolescence, she sang and played in nearly every talent show and local coffee shop. Born in Wisconsin but raised in Colorado, Hartman and her family moved to Idaho when she was fourteen years old. It was there that she graduated high school and enrolled in college.

Unlike Hartman, Molly Fiorentino was born and raised in Boise, Idaho. Fiorentino grew up with every intention of going straight into the medical field after high school. She had never performed, never tried singing, and certainly never considered a career in music. After plans for college fell through, Fiorentino had to rethink her future. With a natural mind for music, and a newfound realization of the industry’s pivotal impact on the world, she decided to go into Music Production. After sharing a few songwriting ideas with a Seattle-based mentor, Fiorentino was strongly encouraged to jump into the vocal booth to experience the recording process from the other side. Seeing Fiorentino’s potential as an artist, her mentor recommended that she develop her unique voice. From that point on, Fiorentino extended her artistry to the performing front as well.

After two and a half years of working on her own, Fiorentino was invited to check out live music at a coffee shop in Meridian, Idaho. It was there that she met Steady Rush’s other half. With fresh resolve to pursue a musical career, Kylie Hartman was in the middle of performing when Fiorentino walked through the door. As soon as they met, the pair was inseparable. They found comfort in knowing that they shared passion and hope in the same belief–that music should awaken all that is good and honest in humanity.

Before their paths crossed in 2009, Hartman and Fiorentino had each been developing as songwriters. Naturally, writing original material became one of their favorite perks of teaming up as a duo. All of their songs come from personal experiences, and from a place of desperation for mankind to be better. For them, the desire to positively affect the world drives them harder than any other motivation. It’s not about money and popularity for these two, it’s about so much more.

Her show includes standards from the jazz era that are given new life as Ellie swings them with her own interpretation. Ellie’s vintage vocals and scat have been influenced by Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra and countless other great voices from the era. Taking her cue from instrumentalists like Benny Goodman, Louis Armstrong and Lester Young, she brings jazz violin to a new height. Her soulful improvisation make each live performance unforgettable.

Boise’s ThankyouForthis is a band created from over two years of sonic exploration. Their philosophy is to not focus on developing a sound based in any specific genre, but to incorporate sounds from many different musical styles. In fact, ThankyouForthis is not concerned with fitting into any generic musical categories at all – although most would probably categorize them as an “experimental rock” band. The trio often dabbles in electronic, world, post-rock, and improvisational soundtrack-style music while still conveying the intensity of a hard rock performance. Their influences are many – and the sonic possibilities that arise from their willingness to explore contradicting musical textures gives way to a band with a genuinely new sound in its earliest stages.

Not a blues band. Not a pop band. Not 80’s band. Simply good music from the inception of rock and roll to the present. While you’re at it, throw into the mix a batch of originals that sound like The Bare Naked Ladies making babies with The Violent Femmes, and you have The 504 Plan.

The Bret Welty Band

Bret Welty is a blues rock singer, songwriter, and guitar player with an inspired approach to blending the soul of blues with a variety of musical genres. Bret has been playing in bands for over 25 years, in a variety of roles.

Born in California and raised on a variety of music, Bret spent his formative high school years split evenly between Oregon and later California, where he was exposed to blues and rock. “The first time I heard guitar and blues put together, I was hooked,” Bret explains. As a young man, Bret tried his hand at 11 instruments before settling on the guitar. He received his first real guitar at age 15, and by the summer he had saved up enough money to buy his first electric guitar. Within 6 months, he was in his first band, and his love of performing live grew from there. Bret studied jazz in college, and has worked as a guitar teacher and faith music leader.

A true musician in every sense of the word, Bret plays drums, bass, lead guitar and mandolin. He has played all over the Northwest at both intimate and large venues, including state fairs and music festivals. Bret has played shows with Daryl Mansfield and has performed with Dennis Agajanian in concert.

Blues is at the heart of Bret’s music, but listeners will also enjoy elements of jazz, rock, funk, Latin, R&B, southern rock, and country. His albums feature original song writing and topics that listeners can easily identify with: love lost, hard times, triumph, freedom, and patriotism.

While the sound is clearly drawn from the well of classic country, honky tonk, old time, and bluegrass, it rings and twangs with modernity and occasional urbanity. From dark and dirty to clean and pristine, the sound of the Country Club is as at home on the range or in a barn as it is downtown, in the club or a bar. and amalgamating HonkyTonk, Western Swing, Classic Country and similarly derivative originals. Not necessarily in that order. Watch for the release of their first album in February , 2014.”

Bruce and Steve quickly realized an opportunity to create a unique new sound, explore novel rhythmic time signatures, and present the public with a fresh repertoire of up-tempo, danceable tunes. The name Cypress Brothers came from the first batch of southern tinged “Dixie Blues” songs from Bruces’ catalog. Just some of the influences on the band are JJ Cale, Dr. John, Cajun Zydeco, The Black Keys, Joe Cocker, Gary Clark Jr., Leon Russell and Tom Petty. The Brothers are both from LA … Bruce is from Louisiana and Steve is from Los Angeles!

The Dedicated Servers

In 2004, three friends met to create a birthday song for a mutual friend. What resulted was a horrible song, and a newfound love and interest for creating music.

The Dedicated Servers are MCMD, peanut, and HAV!. They command every venue they enter, reciting their anomalous musical compositions that combine the lyrics of MCMD and peanut with the production of HAV!. The three friends come from hugely different musical backgrounds, which make for a very interesting output of music. They all have different musical tastes, which when fused, makes for a one-of-a-kind sound.

The origins of the Dedicated Servers and its members lie in Boise, Idaho, where they hope their sound can inspire and influence individuals to not only open their minds to the vast universe of music, but also to better themselves as human beings. In a world where music is such a powerful tool, Dedicated Servers want to show people that anything is possible, as long as there is fun to be had and lessons to be learned, for the artists and for the people. They have been making music since 2004 but have only begun to introduce the world to their music. In 2007, they gained slight internet fame when their hit song “Hall of Famers” caught the attention of video gamers worldwide when it was posted on a popular gaming site, screwattack.com. The Dedicated Servers have been fortunate to grace the local stages of Boise, including Neurolux, The Reef, Fork (formerly Bad Irish), Bouquet, Liquid, The Venue, The Yacht Club, The Linen Building, Knitting Factory, and Taco Bell Arena. Th ey aspire to continue performing so that they may eventually grace the grandest stages of the world. The group has opened for numerous musicians, including Pigeon John, Bone Thugs N Harmony, and Lupe Fiasco.

The Dedicated Servers have been compared to A Tribe Called Quest, Atmosphere, Kanye West, Clipse, Linkin Park, Eminem, Atom & his Package, MC Chris, Postal Service, Nujabes, and Depeche Mode. You might be thinking these comparisons don’t make sense, which is what makes Dedicated Servers a cut above the rest. Blurring the boundaries of music and challenging genres, they are ready to show the world that through music and a love for life as well as oneself, dreams are achievable through hard work and dedication.

The first stirrings of The Chancellors occurred in 1959 with Dale Rich and Tom Lowe, and from that year through 1964, the boys ascended to become one of the Northwest’s most popular groups. In 1967 The Chancellors moved to Pocatello and underwent several changes, including the addition of Monte Saxton. The group returned to Boise but disbanded in the early 1970′s. However, after nearly two decades of oblivion, the group was resurrected by Ross Miller and former Chancellor, Lou Mathews. The group returned to their stature as one of the region’s most popular rock combos. This quartet recorded a complete album of all-original songs, and Fraternity Records released two national singles: the classic rock tribute “(Me and My Baby Like) Old Songs” and the tongue-in-cheek “I’m Cool”. The Chancellors of the mid-1990′s was a septet which featured three lead singers. This group produced two collections: Timeless in 1995 and Good Time Rock and Roll, Vol. 1 in 1996, both on the Ars Noel label. The latest lineup of this group continues to rock the Northwest today. The Fabulous Chancellors were voted the “Best Band in the Treasure Valley” in the 2006 and 2007 Idaho Statesman Readers’ Polls and have had the pleasure of performing on four Caribbean cruises with Bobby Vee, The Turtles, The Original Comets, Gary Lewis, Gary Puckett, Bill Medley, Paul Revere and the Raiders, The Lovin’ Spoonful, Davy Jones of the Monkees, Jan & Dean and The Guess Who.

The Fallen Idols

The Fallen Idols are a hard rock band indigenous to the Boise area, more specifically, the sleepy town of Emmett, Idaho that is located 30 miles from everywhere. The Fallen Idols’ lineup reads like a fantasy football roster and is comprised of the key members of several local bands from the distant past. They have been described as the Treasure Valley’s very own Guns N’ Roses and they play a distinct strain of hard arena rock that the Idols have branded as ‘Emmett-Rock.’ Compelling lyrics, arena era stage presence, triple guitar attack, dual lead vocals, and infectious hard rock anthems all driven by hillbilly riffs that sound like they were taught by the devil himself on a dusty crossroads are the Fallen Idols calling card.

Lead vocalist Greg Goodell A.K.A ‘The Reverend’ states, “So many great bands have risen from ..(Emmett).. and there is a distinct sound and style that we have all shared. We like to stick to our roots and pay tribute to all who came before us. We lie somewhere between hard rock, not-quite-metal, and southern-hillbilly roadhouse-grunge… if such a thing even exists.”

The Finer Points Of Sadism

The Finer Points Of Sadism (FPS), is an Experimental Electronic duo from Boise, Idaho, USA, consisting of husband and wife musicians, Jacobb T. Sackett, 25, & Ashley Sackett, 24. Jacobb and Ashley have been playing music together for nearly a decade, going all the way back to their early high school days in mid-2002 when they met. Both played music since early pre-teens, Jacobb originally in percussion and guitar, Ashley originally in orchestra music and bass guitar. Together, they formed FPS originally as an Experimental side project to their New Wavish/Old School Punk band they had at the time. After that band fizzled in late 2009, FPS became a full time project, with Jacobb and Ashley spending most of 2010 collecting new instruments that would eventually be used for their first official commercial release, ”Deliberately”, released on CDBaby.com on 8/20/11 (http://www.cdbaby.com/thefinerpointsofsadism).
Influences and Sound: FPS’s experimental sound direction truly became clear in 2010 following a near death experience with audio heard and visions seen while in a near death state. This experience was a large inspiration, and this was combined with FPS’s love of their biggest influential groups of all time, most notably: Throbbing Gristle, Wall Of Voodoo, Psychic TV, Swans, Joy Division, Bauhaus, The Cramps, Devo, etc. These combinations make for genre spanning and evil sounding audio. Elements of Post Punk, Circuit Bending, Field Recordings, Industrial, and Synth Punk all can be heard in FPS’s music. FPS uses only analog instruments and mixing equipment, some vintage, some modern, none digital. No digital fx or programming/mixing is used on any FPS material. This is to preserve the goal of the sound for this project.
Equipment: As mentioned above, FPS uses a multitude of instruments to drive the heart of their music, including vintage synthesizers, circuit bent electronics, an altered Atari 2600 for unique beats and synth sequences, as well as 8bit synth, space/tape echo, Ace and Univox rhythm/drum machines, field recordings, cassette experimentation, and altered guitars and guitar fx.
The Finer Points Of Sadism:
Jacobb T. Sackett – Vocals, Guitar, Synthesizers, Atari, Tapes, Rhythms/Drums, Sounds, and FX.
Ashley Sackett – Bass, Synthesizers, Steel Guitar, Circuit Bent items, FX, and all artwork for FPS as well.

The Getaway Car is an indie-rock/pop band that is able to provide a sound worth an experience just as so, making their recordings an introduction to their music. Using a megaphone, crowd participation or unexpectedly breaking down in the middle of a song with a multi-member drum solo are just some of the ways they capture the attention of new fans at a show.

The songs are written with just as much thought and energy as their live set. Based from either their own personal experiences or witnessed by others, their songs are meant to share a story. The Getaway Car is more than just another 4-member band – it’s an experience.

Hailing from the filthy underbelly of Hate-City – Atlanta, Georgia, this four-piece is the right band to listen to during the apocalypse, or to pep up the daily humdrum of life. To the listener, the band strikes a balance of radically aggressive, noise wave tunes that merge with haunting, catchy melodies that keep the engine hot from beginning to end.
Their live shows are described as “pure electricity.” There is seldom a sparse moment during their set, and, when the mood mellows, it’s just long enough to recapture the audiences’ undivided attention with intimate lyrics, or an irreverent sense of humor. Lead singer, Eric Haugh, brings charismatic gravitas that so many bands lack. The microphone is his instrument, allowing him to venture beyond the bounds of the stage and enter the intimate space of the audience. An approach that creates an atmosphere of unpredictability as pounding rhythms and gnarled guitars push the listener to cut loose.
Breaking through the pop veneer surface of the mainstream isn’t common for rock bands these days, but The Joy Kills have a lot of promise. Despite their punk attitude, there’s certainly an element of accessibility to their sound that attracts a diverse fan base. Their latest album is scheduled for release this Summer through local label Blood Drunk Records and will be spearheaded by a tour of the greater US. Keep your eyes peeled as a band destined for bigger things.

The Moonshine

Portland, Oregon based The Moonshine is an idea on the rise. An incandescent blend of guitar, autoharp, fiddle, banjo and upright bass. This is roots music born of the endless wonder of the open countryside and the snow-capped peaks of the Cascades. Taking the magic of the five piece stringband as their foundation and journeying through the wilds of all music that has shaped them, The Moonshine is original and dynamic. With roots running through Old-time, Indie Rock, Roots and Blues traditions, this music is an adventure!

Hailing from Portland, Oregon, The Moonshine began crafting a style all their own in the winter of 2012, applying traditional stringband techniques to an eclectic palette of influences and the unconventional songwriting of Michael Gerard Levasseur. In support of their debut release, “And Now… The Moonshine,” the band has been touring the West Coast & Cascadia since January 2014. The rising tide of momentum surrounding the release and tour has carried the album into a second printing amongst invitations to play festivals, record the soundtrack to a full length film and to move into the the tour bus for life!

In September The Moonshine went back into the studio to cut the instrumental tracks that form the body of the soundtrack to “Plant This Movie”, an urban farming documentary narrated by Daryl Hannah which just premiered on August 30th. They came out of the studio with two new singles, the first of which, “A Word” is in pre-release as a special offer for our dedicated fans. Download it at the link above. The second track, “Secret,” is just that for now…

My musical journey started in middle school. I started guitar lessons and it became my passion!!! From then on, not a day went by when a guitar was not in my hands. After several years of lessons, I began to feel the need to create my own work. I experiemented with writing songs, worked on forming various bands, and performed solo shows at coffee houses etc. This work lead to the formation of Funk&Gonzo, a indie, rock, hip-hop band. Five years of hard work, co-writing two albums, and performing in live shows at regular intervals was rewarding and an amazing growing experience. At the same time, I felt as if I wasn’t being true to my own personal music passion. On the side, I began working on a new project, as the front man for Sex Dragon. For a year, I played in both bands. A change was needed! I pulled up roots and headed out of state to Boise and or Moscow to focus on other musical ventures. NXNW!!!!!!

The Very Most

The Very Most is an indie-pop band from Boise, Idaho founded by Jeremy Jensen in 2002. Like almost every band, they exist both live and on record. But for the Very Most, the process of recording happens over years, as Jeremy, with an assembled cast of talented friends, carefully constructs layers upon layers of guitar, bass, drums, strings, percussion, woodwinds, synths, vocals and sound effects in a backyard studio. They’ve gone through many personnel changes and formats, but currently they’re a five piece, with Zach Von House on bass and vocals, Jake Hite on drums, Gia Trotter playing keyboards and vocals, and Clint Vickery on guitar, keyboards, and percussion. They take their show on the road in small doses, playing shows in Portland, Spokane, Salt Lake City and various points in between. They’ve also played shows with such bands as the Halo-Benders, The Microphones, and Thanksgiving. Their music is dense, catchy, and has a decidedly un-hip, yet slightly off-kilter, lyrical viewpoint. It’s kind of a like being the only adult at a little kids’ dance party where you get to choose the music, but the kids make you spin them around until everyone’s really dizzy. Influences include Beach Boys, Built to Spill, Smiths, and Belle and Sebastian. Congratulations Forever is the second record by The Very Most, and expands greatly on the previous album, Making the Case For Me. Congratulations Forever is released by Coming in Second records in the US and Universal Records in the Philippines. In 2009, they embarked on an ambitious recording project: “A Year With The Very Most”, where they will be recording an EP every three months. These EPs will be themed after the seasons of the year. This project is being released by Indiecater Records in Dublin, Ireland.

The Walking Phoenixes

When this band takes the stage in their signature “all black” three piece suits you can’t help but wonder how these four young guys even heard about Johnny Cash much less learned to live his life from the ground breaking hits of “Folsom Prison” to the classic “Cocaine Blues.” Knowing that all four of these guys met on separate occasions wearing black, sipping whiskey and listening to the classic Johnny songs is by no mistake and ensures that this group is not some major label, throw together, counterfeit band. No, this is the real deal. Unlike most tributes that are wasting away in some small Hollywood club, The Walking Phoenixes pride themselves on playing large, sophisticated private parties and events for the elite.The WP’s have taken a roots approach to this tribute and have added other artists in their repertoire such as Waylon Jennings, John Denver, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, The Allman Brothers and The Eagles. If you are looking for a band that captures the sound of your generation but entertains generations of all, look no further and become part of our growing family of satisfied clients of prestige.

Thomas joined his first band at age fourteen and since then has lent his talents to over three-dozen bands and music projects, including Bill Coffey Big Band, Mystery Date, HillFolk Noir and Clock. Cellar Notes recently dubbed him “one of the premier performers in the Northwest.” Paul has often shared the stage with notables Curtis Stigers, Ned Evett, Nick Jaina, Jonah Shue, JD Kindle and several other Northwest luminaries as well as a number of music giants such as John Hammond and Teddy Thompson. Though he enjoys the role of sideman, he is moreover an independent artist. Numerous full band and solo sets pack his schedule at music hot spots throughout the Boise region and nationwide. He mixes and matches instruments between vocals, guitar, bass, keyboard, mandolin and ac cordion both in live performances and his albums Goodbye Waterloo… and House on Fire. Thomas has played everything from garage rock to lounge blues to folk and, according to Michael Deeds has “been in more Boise bands than any sane musician should, and he plays essentially any instrument with strings or keys plopped in front of him.”

Three Gunas

Crawling out of a wormhole in the nowhere desert of Emmett, ID, Three Gunas are a multi-dimensional trio fresh off their journey through the immaterial realities who have returned to spread the good word. They have finally come in the year 2015 disguised in the 19-year-old surrogate host-bodies of Brandon Young (vocals, guitars), Kyler Barron (bass), and Devin Ignacio (drums) to share sonic tales that conjure imagery of Aesop dancing with the devil in a suspiciously lit Hindu temple.

Combining guilty-pleasure catchy riffs and explorative instrumental sequences, they seem as a soundtrack to a dying sun that is having an existential crisis – explosive and mystic. Lyrically meditative yet biting, Three Gunas thrashes out a concept-driven sound that envisions psychedelic, art-rock pretension flirting with just enough distorted guitar, brazen rhythms, and criminal basslines to appeal to the hedonism of the human race at large.

With high hopes to either jail or enlighten the minds of this incarnation, the trio is currently working on their debut album and are seeking solace, friends, sonic experiments, and good times in the Boise music scene.
