Quitting - a band that doesn't care. Faith No More covers Fleetwood Mac. Garbage wrote a Broadway stage show. The 1990s called on a translucent landline. It's us , we're calling. We're in the house. We do in all honesty, hate this world.

Jockey Onassis - "Male Backed" Alt Punk band from Lexington KY

Once upon a time, there was a youngster who grew up in Camelot, but dreamed of riding the winner in the Kentucky Derby. He trained and practiced, practiced and trained, day and night. But his dreams were crushed when his parents sold him to a Greek shipping tycoon for a handful of magic beans and a Dead Kennedys CD. And they all lived happily ever after....

SATURDAY APRIL 13th

Happy Tuesday is a rock band based in Cincinnati, OH consisting of three multi-instrumentalists and songwriters: Max Patrick (vocals and guitar), Hannah MacNeal (vocals, keyboard, guitar, and violin), and Ivan Brooke (drums and percussion). They each bring their own unique styles and influences to the table but have also bonded over their shared love of folk music, classic rock, and newer alternative rock. Just a few of the bands that have inspired them are Fleet Foxes, Radiohead, and Black Sabbath. They’ve taken these wide-ranging influences and used them to concoct their own unique sound, with an emphasis on potent songwriting.

The Electric Indigo set out to tantalize the Cincinnati/NKY music scene in 2018. A group of lifelong neighbors, childhood friends and schoolmates, The Electric Indigo forged a deep bond rooted in musical expression and a passion to create. Drawing on a range of influences from Pink Floyd, The Allman Brothers, and Marcus King Band, to Herbie Hancock and Rush, the Indigo have developed a powerful, spacy groove mixed with profound storytelling and imagery.

FRIDAY APRIL 5th

:: Mother Marrow ::

Hailing from the mountains of the Big Ivy Creek Valley (on unceded Tsalaguwetiyi land), Mother Marrow is the musical project of Charity Cimarron (they/them).

Mother Marrow is a dark, ritual folk expression, born out of a deep love of the natural world, and an intimate understanding of the magical process of transmuting pain into belonging. Striving towards beauty and truth, music as a communal sacrament is the thread that is always running through this work.

The sound of Mother Marrow is elemental and powerful, with deep drones, complex acoustic finger-picking, trance-inducing melodies, and strident vocals, calling up tears or sending shivers down your spine.  Bewitching and poignant, Mother Marrow's music and imagery channel the voices of the elements, and the beings that dwell between, beneath and beyond. A musical journey into the depths...these tunes have teeth and tenderness.

Mother Marrow's latest album, Sweat and Splinters: https://mothermarrow.bandcamp.com/album/sweat-splinters

Isaac Fosl-van Wyke is a songwriter and puppeteer based in Louisville, Kentucky, whose whimsical poetry is haunted by brutalities past and present. Biting cultural critique resides in mythical, rhyme-heavy storytelling, supported by harmonic layers from outstanding Kentucky musicians (Joan Shelley, Nathan Salsburg, Lacey Guthrie, Anna Krippenstapel, and more). All held together by Isaac’s singular voice, the songs quiver with anxiety and hope while confronting crises of cultural genocide, climate change, and industrial capitalism.
