More than an isolated land mass, Donkey Island is a state of mind. Founded by former members of Blessiddoom, Juveniles and the Bowie tribute band Glass Spiders, this trio of Missoula dads needed a space to unwind. Saxophone player Nathan Hoyme birthed this trio when he was finally ready to share a trove of songs for guitar which he had been secretly writing for decades. He called on power groovster Al Gooday to lay down some bass in order to electrify Nathan’s secret angsty ballads. Paul Rosen plugged in some heavy beats and brought his own secret songs which had been trying to escape his head since he was a teenager. With hints of sounds from classic Minnesota 80s Rock to alt-country and even grooves that’ll get you shaking that ass, a visit to Donkey Island is sure to quench anyone’s thirst for electric noise.
Fresh off their world tour, Stiff Jeans needs no introduction. Their covers of your favorite 90s alternative songs will take you to heaven tonight, tomorrow, and always.
Isle of Huldra is a heavy, melodic post-rock band out of Missoula Montana, channeling the raw dirty power of desert rock into towering walls of sound. Driven by crushing riffs, atmospheric textures, and the haunting interplay of two female voices, the band blends beauty and weight into one immersive sonic experience — equal parts raw, calibrated and hypnotic.
