Lightweight Champion w/ the Spills, Diaphane, & Calamity Cowboy

Friday, April 11 // Door at 7 PM // Show at 7:30 PM // $10 // $15-$20 Artist Supporter   Lightweight Champion exact alt-country with an air of orderliness…The melodies are simple but compelling, the rhythm section is tight, and Gabriel Delayne’s versatile piano keys makes for a formidable secret weapon […] Lyrics pair surreal, circuitous metaphorical imagery with plainspoken wills and wishes, the type of writing that’s become a staple of alt-country.”  Based out of Seattle, members are Aaron Spieldenner, Gabriel Delayne, Cam Hancock (of The Whags, Coral Grief) and Tom Moskal (of Coach Phillips, High Romantics).   The Spills are the strumminest, pluckinest, bowinest, shredinest, wailinest bunch of sorry sons of guns this side o the land.   Diaphane is an indie-rock band currently in its high concept era, cosplaying as an ensemble of queer cowpokes who make country music… kinda. They give it their best anyway. The band is the brainchild of singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Kyle Blessing (he/they), a Long Island native who exiled himself to South Dakota in 2020 amidst the urban diaspora of the covid pandemic. Originally forming the band in Philadelphia in 2016, Blessing recorded an EP of noise-folk tunes, the Red Shift EP, which he released in May of 2018, followed by the full-length LP, Portraits, released in 2022. Recorded, re-recorded, and mixed over 4 years with a sprawling cast of Philadelphia musicians, Portraits is an indie-rock epic, spanning everything from free-jazz, to emo, to punk, tied together by the concept of painting portraits of those around us, only to find ourselves in the end, reflected in every facet of what we decide the important details of our muses are. Moving out West was intended by Blessing as a journey into the wilderness, a solitary search for a voice he felt he had lost along the way in his sojourns with various bands up and down the east coast. This happened to coincide with a self-realization of identity and queerness in a place seemingly hostile to such things. Set against a picturesque western backdrop, it set the scene for the country record he’d always wanted to make.   Calamity Cowboy is the colloquial name given to a group of viscous homunculi believed to have originated sometime in the early 19th century. After aimlessly wandering for a couple hundred years, they decided to start a rock and roll band together. They play a blend of country and psychedelic rock that has garnered tens of fans. It’s the real deal! 

Bull Market w/ Folding Chair & Senterline

Thursday, March 27 // Door at 7:00 PM // Show at 7:30 PM // $10 // $15-$20 Artist Supporter    Bull Market is an investment firm based out of Billings, MT.   Folding Chair is backyard wrestle punk from Montana.   Senterline is a punk/rock band that has been tearing up stages around Missoula and the surrounding area for years. They have created a huge following with their strange presence and incredible energy. Get ready to head bang!

Izaak Opatz w/ The Alpines

Thursday, March 6 // Door at 7 PM // Show at 7:30 PM // $10 // $15-$20 Artist Supporter Ticket   Like many of his favorite songwriters (John Hartford, Lucinda Williams, Jeff Tweedy), Izaak Opatz is an ungulate in life’s winter pasture, chewing on and metabolizing disappointment, heartbreak, and the other tough stuff into enjoyable musical carbohydrates. A compulsive metaphorager (and inveterate wordplayboy), Opatz breaks it all down with enzymes of wry humor, thoughtful simile and close observation – a therapeutic process of narrativizing his own life that, almost as a byproduct, turns out savory nuggets of literate, confessional pop.   The Alpines make rock and roll music in Missoula, Montana. The Alpines are made up of Shane Coburn, David Friedlander, and Russ Rabut. The Alpines love Indie music and Country and Boogie and have a cool, laid-back sound.
