River and The Tributaries

Tue, January 06, 8:30 pm - Showtime: 9:00 pm - 21+ - $6      Artist Website
indie/folk rock/jam
Amongst the rolling hills of Dubuque Iowa, River and the Tributaries, consist of River and Jackson Breitbach, Scott Gratton, Bethann Gavin, Erin Hedley, and Griffen Harris. Breaking away from the traditional configuration of the modern rock band, the members take turns on vocals, guitar, bass, mandolin, violin, cello, piano, and all things percussion. Now in their fourth year together, this sextet is “a power house of multi-instrumental songwriters” (Hitt Music Group) letting flow their infectious form of Indie Folk-Rock with influences from Andrew Bird, Sufjan Stevens and the Arcade Fire. “River and the Tributaries create a unique style of original music that exists outside contemporary trends in folk and pop. Strong vocals…over inventive arrangements and varied instrumentation communicate fresh songwriting unexpectedly mature for a band this young.” (Mike Ironside, 365ink)

We'd all been in bands together or played shows together since before the dawn of man. Finally setup shop above an asian massage joint masquerading as a chiropractic office. After caking the walls in oily smoke and beer soaked ashes, we ended up with a bunch of songs about the usual things that bands sing about. That's when things got weird. Added a ringer to tickle the ivories around fall of '06. Band sets new course, but an overall much more badass one. Start playing out and impressing at least one person at every show. to date, that's about 18 people. move the whole enchilada up above a pizza pit in april '07.

Them Damned Young Livers

alt/country/punk
Them Damned Young Livers Accident'ly came into conception when Ryan and Jody met in summer of 06 and had the bright idea of putting together a cowpunk band. Jody knew Trip from his days of fronting the long since gone Johnny Switchblade and playing shows with Action Figure. Needless to say Tripp was always mez'merized by Jody's ability to make a dagum fool out of himself behind the Shure 55. So a couple of 5ths of Jaeger and an all to temporary sibling sister drummer was added and formed Young Livers in November 06. This formation played shows around town for about 8 months and even made the venture to Denver and Vegas.

We are heavier and more in your face live, so check us out. When we find a studio to record our new stuff, which is bad ass, we will put it on here, and there is a little more interaction. Some one actually moves on stage besides Travis. Our ideas are becoming manifestations and we've been taking all your advice as well as everyne else who actually enjoys conversation of a more productive nature.

alt/grunge/black metal
"...Høst sways both gracefully and mercilessly through Burzumic soundscapes, elephantine power dirges, and obsidian death marches while plumbing the most infectious trenches of black 'n' roll." [Decibel Magazine] "...the music is so far beyond what the vast majority of black metal has to offer...Most recommended." [Aversion Line] "...executed faithfully and energetically." [The New Scheme] "Championing underground American black metal, Høst has crafted a musical experiment that should be on any fan of the genre's short list." [Metal Underground]
