Ceres + Intice + Tuco
Tuesday, June 6 // Door at 7 PM // Show at 7:30 PM // $10 // $15 Artist Supporter Ticket Ceres is a 5-piece metal band, based out of Missoula. Formed in 2019, Ceres has had the opportunity to play Flathead Metal Fest several times, as well as travel around the Pacific Northwest playing shows. Ceres has released 2 albums and a few singles on all streaming services, and are currently working on the third album. They bring a high energy and engaging show to the stage, with original metal and occasional covers like Eskimo Callboy’s ‘Hypa Hypa.’ Tuco are a two-piece punk, metal, post-whatever, comedy-rock outfit. Being split between two Montana towns, we represent both sides of the continental divide. Social commentary is what we do. Not taking ourselves too seriously is what we hope to do. We’re both named Dave and we’ve been writing music together, under various monikers such as Bridgebuilder and Bones of Elisha, since around 2003 AD. Thanks and cheers. Intice is a progressive metal/rock band based out of Missoula Montana. They play the original music of their front man, Cameron Kinney, who plays guitar and vocals. Cameron started the band with guitarist Justin Brantley in Great Falls and met the rest of the band members while studying with them at the UM School of Music a couple years later. Along with Cameron and Justin the band features Josh Smith on drums, Lane Ulberg on bass and Jolene Green and Cade Chastain on saxophone. The band has two albums on spotify and is currently recording their third album. For further information, accessibility, and inquiries please visit https://www.zootownarts.org/meet-the-zacc/about/.
