DeeOhGee

DEEOHGEE

DeeOhGee is the wild conglomeration of brothers who scrape their inspiration from the talents of American music. The beat, the groove, the melody, are the holy trinity that guide this band. With togetherness as the goal they travel, sing, give and gather for the betterment of their fellow man. The origins of American music are built from the exact same elements that make our modern music quicken our current pulses. This is where DeeOhGee has made their home, pulling from acoustic roots to amplified chaos, they encompass the human condition within their songs. Without fear of being multi-dimensional, Zack Murphy pushes his heavy beat and nuanced percussion to new grounds. Matthew Paige heaves his weight into riffs and dissonance that lands in a beautiful cadence. And Dylan Whitlow brilliantly lends his gift of bass virtuosity to the heat that melts it all together. With plans to collaborate and participate in the vast world of music for as long as life allows, the DeeOhGee contribution is one of honesty and free thinking feels cranked up for those ready for liberation.

Riki Rachtman

RIKI RACHTMAN

After his hugely successful spoken word show debut in Charlotte, North Carolina in September, Cathouse founder and former host of Headbangers Ball, Riki Rachtman will take “One Foot In The Gutter” on the road. An intimate evening of stories, tales and true life fables from Riki himself…from growing up in Hollywood, to all the raunch roll sleaze and debauchery that happened at the Cathouse. Never before has he shared his experiences of Headbangers Ball in an uncensored spoken word event. In all the “Once In A Lifetime” moments he’s had, and he’s had A LOT, this spoken word show is a personal highlight.
The former host of MTV’s legendary Headbanger’s Ball as well as the Founder of Hollywood’s most notorious rock club and epicenter of raunch, the infamous party place, the Cathouse, Riki did something he’s never done before: appeared in front of a very large audience and told his stories…not only some never before shared stories of the early days with some of the biggest names in rock n roll, but he opened up with his tales of drug addiction, jail, bankruptcy and his true rags to riches to rags to riches story. “One Foot In The Gutter,” is Riki’s very first speaking tour, the first time he’s discussed with an audience his career and past, how he helped define metal culture, and beyond.
Riki is uncensored, unapologetic and not at a loss for words. What was it really like hanging with some of the biggest rock stars on the planet when the cameras weren’t on? What really happened on MTV with Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Ozzy and others? Riki explains, “In my entire career, there is nothing that I am more proud of than this show. Walking out on stage was surreal for me. I was not introducing another band as I had done for decades. I was the opener and headliner. It was bizarre for me to realize that the packed house was there for me. The show was far more than a behind the scenes Headbanger’s Ball tell all. The show was not just the description of the raunch that happened at my club Cathouse. I opened up about my battles with drugs, my arrests, bankruptcy and a lot of bad choices. To know that some found inspiration in this show is the highest form of flattery.”
“With one show done I am ready to do it again and again and again. I will incorporate multimedia more and deliver an experience with highs and low’s. The idea of taking OFITG on tour truly is not only a dream come true, but the highlight of my career.”

Under The Rug

UNDER THE RUG

Austin, TX heart-on-sleeve indie/folk-rock band Under The Rug took leave from their mobile home and traveled across the U.S. to Los Angeles to record their third full-length album, Homesick For Another World, produced by Oak House Recording owner and David Fridmann understudy David Peters (Blake Mills, Empress Of). 
 Western Canadian Music Awards’ “Breakout Artist of the Year” Ariel Posen – described by Rolling Stone as, “A modern-day guitar hero” – contributes slide guitar to the record. Under the Rug have been featured at American Songwriter, Rolling Stone India, Atwood Magazine, Americana UK and even received a co-sign from The Mountain Goats’ John Darnielle. 
 Lead singer, songwriter and guitarist Casey Dayan, guitarist Sean Campbell, and drummer Brendan McQueeney have taken a fanatical and steadfast approach to DIY marketing, which has helped grow the band’s audience exponentially since their 2019 debut album Pale King. 
 Homesick For Another World’s Beatles-esque production flourishes underscore Dayan’s unique songwriting perspective. “Lonesome & Mad” underlines these elements with its agile hooks and crackling slide guitar from Ariel Posen, offering warm melodies and a wordless chorus in the outro. 
 Packing a decade’s worth of friendship and songwriting in a beat-up van, Under the Rug’s on-the-go work ethic has yielded an expansive record, written on the road to Los Angeles, brimming with hope and hard-won truths from the heart.

Doom Flower

DOOM FLOWER

Doom Flower is a Chicago-based band consisting of Jess Price (guitar/vocals), Bobby Burg (bass), Matt Lemke (synth) and Areif Sless-Kitain (drums).

“Limestone Ritual,” while reminiscent of many ’90’s and aughts alt-rock and trip-hop greats like Mazzy Star, The Breeders, Cat Power and Portishead, also sound unlike anything else currently being released. What’s most exciting about Doom Flower is that they’ve emerged fully formed. This is a band who understand who they are and what kind of music they want to make. And the execution confirms their skill set. There’s a ferocity in their decision making, from their controlled notes on the guitar to their minimalist percussion to Price’s soft, yet emotionally piercing vocals. Moody and evocative, Doom Flower has landed on a formula that should surely make them one of the city’s newest breakout successes.
-Britt Julious, Chicago Tribune

Limestone Ritual doesn’t have a single focal point–the interplay between Price’s tendrils of guitar and Burg’s resonant, minimal bass is as engrossing as Price’s half-mumbled singing. The sublime, easygoing guitar melody of “Break Cycle” exudes a sleepy optimism, which is exactly the tone I’d like to see for the music of 2023.
-Leor Galil, Chicago Reader

Magic Giant

MAGIC GIANT

“The most festive band in the festival circuit,” MAGIC GIANT has amassed over 100M streams, had TV appearances ranging from the Today Show to Good Morning America, and been singled out by Billboard as one of “10 Awesome Bands” playing Coachella and by Rolling Stone as one of “10 Artists You Need to Know.” Their singles “Set on Fire,” “Window,” and “Disaster Party” have all broken the top 40 on the US radio charts.

The Die With Zero Tour is inspired by the bestselling book and official tour partner, Die With Zero by Bill Perkins and its theme of living life with no regrets. The nationwide tour kicks off Mar 11 accompanied with the release of a new EP.

Carrying forward the hopeful outlook of the alt group’s debut full length record In The Wind and sophomore studio album The Valley, their upcoming EP contains equal parts depth and optimism. Shares lead singer Austin Bisnow:

We recorded our first album in between shows on a solar-powered mobile recording studio. Our second studio album we were hunkered down during the pandemic and going through lots of changes like taking our careers completely independent for the first time since we started. This EP is about finding hope even when it seems daunting or impossible.

When the pandemic struck they responded by throwing one of the first digital music festivals of its kind with guests including The Lumineers, Woody Harrelson, Edward Norton, Walk the Moon, David Blaine, Jason Maz, LP, The Head & The Heart, Edward Sharpe, Glen Hansard, Walk Off The Earth, Ashe, Allen Stone and Local Natives, raising over $100,000 to deliver PPE to frontline hospital workers.

Not only does the group write and produce their records and direct their music videos, they plant a tree through a non-profit partner with every album sold, creating a mini forest with thousands of trees; and have thrown an annual music-festival-meets-summer-camp for their fans called Camp Misfits.

FRANCE’S WORLD-FAMOUS NORDIC COLLECTIVE RETURNS

Far from the lands of the North, the echoes of such legends still ring out. The beliefs of those who populate these distant lands have been perpetuated, and despite the pressures of modern industrial society, the old folk traditions live on. It was in the countries where the people we call Vikings were found to be – Norway, Denmark, Sweden, or Iceland – that the Huldufolk (“the hidden people”) remained anchored in their everyday lives and traditions. At roadsides, deep in the forests and in the heart of the mountains, elves and trolls huddled together in a discreet coexistence with humankind, melting into a strange and wonderful wilderness. And now, it’s from among those people born of a far-off imagination that the poetic, epic sounds of SKÁLD are now venturing forward!

Conway

CONWAY

Conway is an alternative rock band from Chicago, Illinois. The genesis of Conway came in the summer of 2017, when lead singer Aidan Hargis and guitarist Riley Allen began recording the first Conway EP, ‘Last Chance to Dance,’ in Allen’s bedroom, which was released in January 2018 and followed it with a split single ‘Forbidden Fruit’ & ‘Every Single Time,’ in September of that year. Since June of 2018, Conway has been gigging and touring all over the Midwest, gaining mileage, fans, and experience. They take the relentlessly catchy choruses from bands like Green Day, layered and twisting lyrics inspired by acts like The Arctic Monkeys paired with dark and self-aware subject matter, topped off with electronic alternative metal influences like Rob Zombie, and finally a big dose of cynical, carefree nihilism. With a brand new album on the way, and a partnership with Pavement Records, Conway is here to fill the void in rock music between the heavy, drop-tuned breakdowns and the neutered radio pop-rock that worms its way into the charts every week. Dirty and loose with hooks that won’t leave your head after you hear them, they’re on the march to prove that if rock is dead, music sounds best from six feet under.
