Shark Buffalo + Mirror Gods

Friday, May 27 // Doors at 7 PM // Show at 7:30 PM // $10 // $15 Tour Supporter Ticket Who the hell is Shark Buffalo, that mysterious übergroup from a long-forgotten Missoula music scene of yore? More importantly, what the hell IS a shark buffalo? Do you picture a buffalo’s body with a shark’s head, like some kind of aquatic centaur? Or do you prefer to envision an elasmobranch fish characterized by a cartilaginous skeleton fused with the head and torso of a bearded bovinae? I digress. Shark Buffalo is comprised of a holy musical trinity: Keys, Drums, and Trumpet, with Cove Jasmin, Emmet Ore, and Nathan Crawford. Mirror Gods is a powerful quartet comprised of Jesse The Ocelot on vox/guitar/loops, Joshua Chai on drums/percussion, Sean Howard Burress on bass/gadgets, and Emmet Ore on guitar/keys. Mirror Gods create the perfect mix of organic and electronic music. Jesse’s ethereal vocals sore over Sean and Josh’s intricate rhythmic bass lines, while Emmet dazzles in with magical lead guitar. They are a full on rock band with atmospheric loops and layers. Making sure to let the music speak for itself and lead the way, they try to create something different every time, with about half of their songs being dialed-in performances and the other half being all about the feels and improv. You never know what’s going to happen at a Mirror Gods show. For further information, accessibility, and inquiries please visit https://www.zootownarts.org/meet-the-zacc/about/.

Jacob Rountree w/ Special Guest Chloé Little

Thursday, May 26 // Doors at 7 // Show at 7:30 // $10 // $15 Tour Supporter Ticket ​​Jacob Roundtree is passionate, hypnotic, multi-dimensional, and poetic. Jacob Rountree (and supporting artists) are an alternative folk/indie rock group offering a dynamic sound. They have been best described as a passionate and relatable, multi-dimensional act with poetically introspective lyrics, a unique finger picking style, perfectly placed percussive hits, haunting harmonies, and dream-like effects. Chloé Little has lived in Montana for several years but is a California native. Chloe formed several Bay Area bands, but musically her heart lies in writing songs. For close to 15 years, she has used songwriting as a form of mental release and creative expression. She uses the outdoors, love, soul-searching, and self-discovery as inspiration. Through her songs, she aspires to spark connection with the audience – or at least plant a seed of thought.

Catnyp w/ SenterLine

Wednesday, May 25 // Doors at 7:30 PM // Show at 8 PM // $10 // $15 Tour Supporter Ticket Formed in Missoula, MT after front man/composer/producer/bassist/multiinstrumentalist Henderson K Shatner (HKS) returned to the US after 18 years of overseas adventures, Catnyp released “The Black Cat Trilogy” of albums sequentially in 2018, 2019, 2020. Shatner founded Brand Violet, a seminal UK surf-goth act signed to legendary Some Bizarre records in the early 2000s. Catnyp has drawn recent comparison to Pixies, Daniel Ash, David Bowie, and even Led Zeppelin — largely based on the fearless vocal experimentation Shatner employs on Catnyp IIII, channeling his favorite vocalists for different tracks. Melodic, agile bass parts invoke Beatles-era McCartney while surf guitar and clean overdriven tones provide a nod to California punk and Britpop. SenterLine is a new three-piece rock band based in Missoula, MT. It consists of Marcus Knight on drums, Matt Miller on bass/vocals, and Stanley Kipp on guitar/vocals.

Hibernator + JERF + Mido Skip

Saturday, May 7 // Doors at 7 PM // Show at 7:30 PM // $10 // $15 Tour Supporter Ticket Hibernator hails from southwest Montana. Hibernator began in 2016 with Phillip Yanzick on guitar and lead vocals and Zachary Jurcich on lead guitar. The band attracted the attention of Anthony Vesco and Ricky Schade, now the drummer and bass player respectively. The sound of the band includes elements of post rock with flares of ambiance and early 2000s emo. For fans of Balance and Composure, Citizen, and Movements, Hibernator has its own way of catching listeners’ attention through heavy rhythm sections and melodic vocals. JERF is a multi-instrumentalist, pinball wizard, soccer player, movie watcher, and songwriter steeped in the tradition of the traveling troubadour; part Americana, part Indie Rock, and full of the same positive vibes that came from the California Folk-Rock scene that spawned Jackson Browne & Tom Petty. His songwriting reflects a perspective about the world that is both critical and full of joy, and he is passionate about questioning how we can do better with the unique experience that has been given to us as human beings. From the great city of Missoula, Mido Skip started out as a simple idea, formulating into one of the biggest conspiracies to date. It is said that on a full moon you can hear the mad ravings of the nü-emo band from abandoned alleyways. Have you captured a glimpse of this enigmatic event? If you’re lucky enough, it could change how you look at yourself, and the world as you know it.
