Agony In The Living Room w. Iodine, Velvet Ghoul
Agony In The Living Room is a brand new Alt-Rock band based in St. Paul, Minnesota. This five-piece has a fresh new sound that brings influence from shoegaze, indie, and classic rock. They are proud to bring you their debut single, “The Gamble,” with more music to be released well on the way! Stick around, you might be happily surprised by these guys. Iodine is a twin-cities based psychedelic rock band. Taking influence from groups like King Gizzard, The Strokes, and Vulfpeck, our music has a large range in dynamics, from fuzz-filled jams to tight vocally-driven pieces. Velvet Ghoul is an alt-rock band made up of Collin (vocals/guitar), Gibson (lead guitar), Roberto (bass), and Gunnar filling in on drums while Alden (drums) is out of town.

Galactic Cowboy Orchestra
GALACTIC COWBOY ORCHESTRA was started in 2009 by founding member/bass player John Wright. The band was born out of a desire to play technically challenging music derived from John’s influences ranging from Mahavishnu Orchestra, The Dixie Dregs and King Crimson, to name a few. Wright enlisted the aid of guitarist Dan Neale, who brought to the table many deep Jazz influences in his advanced playing and composing style. Along with the band’s first drummer, Mark O’Day, the beginnings of Galactic Cowboy Orchestra were found. Soon after, violinist (and John’s wife) Lisi Wright joined the band with her aggressive “electric guitar player plays violin” style and engaging stage presence to complete the band’s sound and look. Fast forward 16 years: 6 studio releases (and one live), 3 Downbeat Nominations, a Minnesota Arts Tour Grant, collaborations with symphony orchestras, thousands of miles of touring and the band is just getting started.
