Video of two unreleased Wild Adriatic songs were released today from Otis Live. The tracks, “The One” and “Cruel Lovin,” are from Wild Adriatic’s debut performance at Otis Mountain Get Down from this past September. Performed on September 11, 2015 (also drummer Mateo Vosganian’s birthday), this video is part of Otis Live’s new series of videos, directed and edited by George Watts and produced by Watts and Quillan George.
Since Otis Live started, they have sought to create a platform for artists to gain exposure. The fall of 2015 marked the beginning of bringing this goal to life in a digital realm, with bi-weekly releases of diverse live performances from on and off the mountain. An interview with Wild Adriatic here.
Otis Mountain Get Down is an independently & cooperatively produced festival in the heart of the Adirondacks in Elizabethtown, NY. Otis is an open, intimate and affordable festival, offering an eclectic and unique mix of artists and genres. Otis Mountain encourages new and meaningful interactions with art, music, the outdoors and each other, while embracing and supporting our local communities, music and culture. The festival is held each September and was named one of the “Top 5 Lesser Known (But Incredible) festivals for artists to play” in 2015 by Sonic Bids.
Nashville-based indie-pop trio Yankee Blood released their debut EP last month titled Honey. The Yankees, as they sometimes call themselves, are comprised of Kelly Ruth (singer/bassist), Adam Verone (drummer) and James Karp (guitarist). Seiji Itaru Inouye provides additional guitars and Juliana Richer Daily supplies vocal harmonies on the album. Honey was produced, mixed and engineered by David Brubaker at Studio 215, and mastered by Mark Trewella of Full Circle Mastering.
Airy vocals and ethereal harmonizations supported by bluesy, mellow guitar and drums, open the first song, “Sioux City.” Ruth poses an existential quandary floating through the minds of younger generations questioning their role in society. This notion is drawn out with the lyrics, “When you were 23 you said that you wanted to move to Sioux City, where everything’s pretty/ You said Ma don’t you miss me, I’ve gone to where I can see the sunset clearly/And everyone’s friendly to the new girl in town.” The song alludes to that idealistic mentality of many fledgling twenty-somethings seeking to explore the world and embark on adventure. Like viscous honey oozing down a smooth surface, the lyrics postulate, “Well you’ve always been chasing that dream of the beautiful scenes you’d clip out of magazines.”
“Reckless” offers eighties-inspired synth pulsating like lazy ripples, chased by Ruth’s femme power lyrics. She expresses, “I’ve been told I need a man to put me in my place/Every time one comes around he can’t keep with my pace/God made me the reckless kind.” Yet the next song, “Beekeeper,” with simple jazzy guitar evoking a daydream quality, expresses a desire for companionship through the lyrics, “Like bees to the queen, like tea to honey/I want someone to love.” Put together these songs personify a fiercely independent woman hard pressed to find a mate well matched for her fiery spirit. Honey will resonate with those who have been faced with the uncertainties of love and finding purpose.

NAP is a three piece, post-punk New York City band. With Pat Glass on drums, Nate Cepis on guitar and vocals, and Andy Cush on bass and lead vocals, they have a dynamic unlike anything else. The first time I saw NAP play was when they formed two years ago and their intensity pulled me in instantly. I remember how refreshing it felt to be hooked on a band so quickly.
On Friday, December 11th, I watched the trio perform at Palisades in Brooklyn and they delivered yet again. It was sweaty, loud, and absolutely intoxicating. Their stage presence was captivating; dead eyes, screaming vocals, and head banging fit seamlessly with their perfectly simple lyrics. At a NAP show everything comes together and makes you want to drink cheap beer and party. What more could you ask for from live music?
New York City is a sea of young musicians making their presence known and voices heard. NAP’s raw performance style and unconventional sound genuinely sets them apart from the rest.
As Star Wars: The Force Awakens hits theaters this weekend, NYS Music wanted to take a look back at how the epic space opera has found its way into music. Here’s a look at some of the most famous, talked about, and overlooked moments where our favorite musicians have found a way to use the Force.
moe. Wars – 10/31/2015 – Philadelphia, Pa
moe. fans are still talking about Halloween. The band went all out for the festivities dressed in head-to-toe costumes of their Star War personas. But they went above and beyond for the event, not only playing music from the films, but changing existing moe. songs to lyrics inspired by them as well.
Jedi Trey – 6/9/12 -Portsmouth, Virginia
While many Phish fans will argue that Trey Anastasio is a musical Jedi of epic proportions , Jedi Trey proves it – light saber and all – in this “Maze” clip from 2012.
Zappa Plays Zappa – Star Wars Theme
Zappa Plays Zappa is known for playing all manner of covers, but every once in a while, they like to open with the Star Wars theme. Fans at the 2015 Catskill Chill were pumped when they kicked their set off in a similar fashion to this video from Amsterdam this past October.
Weird Al
We’d simply be remiss if we didn’t mention the king of pop parody. Weird Al is a huge Star Wars fans. The films have inspired numerous tunes including “The Saga Begins,” “Yoda,” and “I Think I’m a Clone Now.” This past July at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, Weird Al closed out his show with a Star Wars encore that would have even made Darth Vader dance.
Primate Fiasco – Star Wars Mash-Up
Pop-up street band Primate Fiasco likes to surprise fans at festivals with impromptu sets. Their dixieland style of music not only infuses DJ-style house music with folk roots, but also the best in pop culture references. At the 2011 Gathering of the Vibes, the band posted up outside the ferris wheel and created a memorable mash-up of Star Wars favorites.
Bill Murray – “Nick the Lounge Singer”
Saturday Night Live has a history of showcasing some of the best in music and pop culture. The show also has a long history of great musical comedy. This audio clip from 1978 captures the Bill Murray as “Nick the Lounge Singer” paying tribute to the Star Wars phenomenon.
Twiddle – Star Wars Theme/Endor Set
At the 2014 Frendly Gathering, Twiddle perched themselves atop tree stands some 15 feet in the air in a set that has since been coined the Endor Set due to it resemblances to the planet Endor’s high-hut housing. The set closed out the festival and included a switch in mid set from Dopopod. Twiddle is notorious for sneaking in a Star Wars theme from time to time as well. They even dressed as Star Wars characters for their 2014 Halloween show. Here’s a look at the boys with a Star Wars homage mid “Tiberius” in November 2014 at the Met in Rhode Island.
Moosebutter – “John Williams is the Man”
Moosebutter is an award-winning comedy a cappella group that hit internet superstar status when their tribute to the Star Wars theme composer John Williams went viral. The video even spawned several video knocks offs, but nobody does it quite like Moosebutter.
Otaku Gang – Life After Death Star (Notorious B.I.G/John Williams Remixes)
The Notorious B.I.G’s Life After Death is deemed by many to be one of the greatest rap albums of all times. Enter Star Wars fan and rapper Richie Branson. He teamed up with producer Solar Slim and the duo (dubbed Otaku Gang) recently released this epic mash-up of Biggie’s raps crossbred with John Williams Star Wars: A New Hope movie score. You can check out the whole album on SoundCloud.
Meco – Star Wars and Other Galactic Funk
Back in 1977, American record producer and musician Meco released a Star Wars-inspired disco record. The space disco version of the Star Wars theme and the album were both certified platinum in the U.S. and included a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.
The Arkells performed an extensive high energy set to a sold out crowd at Town Ballroom this past Friday. Not before vocalist Max Kerman and guitarist Mike DeAngelis played an intimate acoustic set to fans who brought a toy valued at 10 dollars or more to donate to local children who are less fortunate and otherwise would not have presents under the tree this Christmas.
Pentimento was direct support for The Arkells, they are a local band right here from my city of Buffalo. I have not had the pleasure of seeing them perform before so excitement came over me as they walked onto the stage. My first reaction was wow, how are these guys not headlining their own tours yet? They swept fans off their feet with Jeremiahs smooth voice and guitarist Lance Claypools catchy riffs. These guys gained plenty of new fans that night and I am proud to say that I am one of them.
The Arkells took the stage and got the fans jumping to their feet and screaming lyrics at the top of their lungs from the opener Cynical. The set continued with songs from High Noon; such as Come To Light, Dirty Blonde, and Leather Jacket. They also played songs off their older albums “Michigan Left” and “Jackson Square.” A fan favorite that night was 11:11, once they started singing that the crowd seemed to lose control. The encore started off with acoustic version of Kiss Cam, followed by young Turks and their biggest hit to date Leather Jacket.
Gowanus is a New York City canal. Gowanus is a New York City neighborhood. And, Gowanus is a New York City band.
Gowanus, the band, recently released their 2nd album, Before the Devil Knows Your Dead. Members Duke Kurick (guitar), Alan Maginn (keys/vocals), Matt Domser (bass) and Brandon McClaskey (drums) rejoined Dean Baltulonis, producer of their 2012 release And to the Lost, at his Wild Arctic Studio in Portsmouth, NH. Clocking in at just under an hour, the eight tracks, written over the course of 2013 and 2014, take the listener along some surprising twists and turns.
Devil makes a somewhat unceremonious entrance with “Hughene Jackman,” an organ-driven instrumental that sounds like it was lifted straight from the early 90’s jamband scene. Not bad, but covering some well-worn territory. Keep the record playing though, because it gets better the deeper you dive. This is just the set-up before they knock you down.
“You Don’t Know” starts as a slow-building, high-flying guitar epic with electronic spooky undertones, until, after 5 whole minutes, it jumps the tracks and suddenly is trudging knee-deep in reggae. You’ll be checking to make sure the track hadn’t changed for at least the first couple listens. “How to Climb a Moving Mountain” emerges smoothly from there, sounding like the soundtrack to a protagonist’s eventual self-discovery.
Gowanus provides a one-two-three punch that forms the meatiest portion of the album. After conditioning the listener for long instrumentals, “Probably Not,” a fist-pumping anti-love rock ballad, is literally the piece of rock holding the albums’ more adventurous tracks together. “Blank” is another longer instrumental that takes another surprising turn, from a straight-ahead rocker to a closing section that sounds like the music from a super-secret level from Super Mario Brothers. It’s the level you purposefully never complete, so that you can just sit back and enjoy the jams, while Mario stands tapping his toe, waiting patiently for you to make a move. Completing the album’s strongest portion, “Prestige Worldwide” mixes elements of Black Sabbath and Funkadelic, showing off the band’s heavier side.
On album-closing “The Cage,” they again wait until well after the 5-minute mark to drop into the vocals, before finishing off with a infectiously fun romp that surely must highlight their live shows.
Speaking of which, Gowanus has one upcoming date on the calendar, a New Year’s Eve gig at the Rock Shop in Brooklyn.
Before the Devil Knows Your Dead is available now at the band’s Bandcamp page.
Space Carnival recently wrapped up their first extensive tour, taking them down to North Carolina and West Virginia, and back to the Northeast to Pennsylvania, New York and Connecticut. While on the road they kept a tour log of each city they played in and shared the experience with NYS Music.
The One Stop, Asheville, North Carolina
Do roads end? Not likely. Anyway, we made it. Asheville, the first stop. After eating at Waffle House and drinking craft beer in the hotel room with our friend Khalil, we took the bus to downtown Asheville. What a gem, downtown Asheville is like a winning hand.
We had a blast at the One Stop. Our first show of tour gave way to new exploration in a familiar set. Nothing off the charts but great ideas are coming out. A day off tomorrow and we are heading up to Mace manor to hang and do some grilling. Its gonna be a fun day off.
1st Day off
Hitting the Moog factory was a highlight because we all love to turn knobs. We jammed for hours at Nic Nac’s mountain hideaway. Such welcoming friends and she even turned us onto her amazing poetry. This inspiration is gonna last me all the way into Boone and beyond.
Murphy’s Pub, Boone, North Carolina
Asheville to Boone was a sweet little ride. Boone is a cool college town. We got in with half a day to kill before our show starts which should give us enough time to fowl up a college restroom.
We had a nice set in Boone. 3 hours went by very quickly and our sound guy pulled out all the stops for us. Some new stuff we are working on is coming together and Boone seemed like the perfect town to take a risk or two. Its nice to be finding our rhythm. It’s the beginnings to communicate well. Sleeping on the bus is gonna be interesting tonight, right on the main street in Boone, hiding in plain sight.
The Purple Fiddle, Thomas, West Virginia
Winding roads and a white knuckle ride for me as I drove the bus to Thomas. I took as many wrong turns as I could and found ourselves driving Gus (our bus) up many mountain roads. The Baked Potatoes used this bus before us and they averaged one breakdown a day. With a grand total of zero so far we are looking good.
Thomas is a small town in the middle of a small state. The local population is dwarfed by their weekend population and it was a Wednesday night gig for us. I hope we can pull some magic and get a good turn out.
The Purple Fiddle was a great room to play. I instantly fell in love with the charm and vibe of the small cafe/venue. Despite being a small town there have been some major artists that love to play here. With a hostel right above (band stays free!) I’m happy to call this place home for a few days. Though our turnout was small it was very receptive. The locals loved us and one went as far as to say we were the best he’s seen in a while. I’ll take a small warm response to a large tepid response any day.
Kungfu Necktie, Philadelphia, PA
With two days off at the Purple Fiddle that consisted of pool, watching the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and catching up on a whole lot of sleep, we headed off to Philadelphia. We were really excited to be playing with Tweed and Flux Capacitor. Really awesome people and even nicer people! It was a Halloween party just a few days before the actual holiday. Labeled as an 80’s night we decided to play Lionel Richie’s “All Night Long” to mark the occasion. We had an awesome turnout for our first Philly show and got to record our Indie GoGo campaign video with a friend from the area.
The Dock, Ithaca, NY
After getting out of Philly right after our set we made the long drive to Ithaca for our first show back in about a year. We love Ithaca and were so happy to be back at The Dock. We rode this energy all the way through set and really broke through with our jams. This show saw us really take our jamming to its tightest point of the tour so far. Our communication has really come together on this run of shows and we are starting to really click. I would say that this show really defined the rest of the tour for us and set a tone and energy that we wanted to match each night after.
Cyber West Cafe, Binghamton, NY
Binghamton was up next for us and after a sweaty performance the night before we drove our increasingly smelly bus to Cyber West Cafe. This show was a perfect compliment to the night before. Free espresso led to a really quick start. We were off with a bang and really brought the room alive with even more concise playing. I’m growing increasingly happy with our sound and our pallet is growing. We are breaking new ground and spirits are really high. Our next show is Halloween and we are poised to really bring the energy to the Oneonta Theatre.
The Oneonta Theatre, Oneonta, NY
This is the big one for us. The Oneonta Theatre with Consider the Source and Kung Fu. We really admire these bands. Our bassist has been listening to Consider the Source for quite a long time and pulls a lot of influence from their bassist. Our set was an hour and as the home town band we had an amazing draw early on. We put on a a great set for 150 fans and friends. We were beyond thrilled with our performance and felt like it was a stand out set for our tour. We nailed the set and came away feeling great!
The Stomping Ground, Putnam, CT
After 3 days off we came to Putnam, CT to play a small bar venue called the Stomping Ground. We had an old friend in the audience and he has seen us many times early in our bands history. He said that this was by far his favorite set he has ever heard. As a fellow musician he had nothing but good things to say about our execution and prowess. We went long with “Shakedown Street” -> “2001” and kept it very interesting. We’ve really been exploring the funk the last 4 shows and Jeremy and Ron have really locked in with each other.
The Spot, Providence, RI
With Putnam behind us and another great show in the books we headed to meet up with our buddies from Colorado, Yamn. Taylor Frederick in Yamn is a fellow Oneonta State Alumni and its always great to see him shred the stage. We opened up for YAMN with high energy set that set the tone for YAMN to knock the audience over with their sound. We are pushing further into a wimpy sound and have moved away from our funk disco blend. I like the new ideas we are developing and we are taking more risks and seeing them pay off.
BRYAC, Bridgeport, CT
A quick ride over to Bridgeport and we land at BRYAC for our first show in CT this tour. We arrived early and took advantage of BRYAC’s amazing green room. We rehearsed for a long time and got a lot worked out for our set. We had a 3 hour romp ahead of us and we nailed it. We played two sets and kept the crowd interested well into the night. We were really pleased with our playing tonight and everyone was firing on all cylinders. BRYAC yielded the tours best Plibt and our own personal favorite set as a band for this tour.
The Black Oak, Oneonta, NY
We came to The Black Oak do our only totally improvised set of the tour. We packed out our favorite hometown venue and gave the audience a psychedelic performance they wouldn’t forget. It was our most experimental set of the tour and saw our fans seeing a new side of us. We all felt that we really pushed ourselves to make this show special and the results were exactly what we wanted. Being in front of all our friends made this one extra special.
Electric Haze, Worcester, Massachusetts
Electric Haze was an easy drive from Bridgeport. We got to the Hookah bar early and partook in a free Hookah and wrote a new setlist for the show. We had our drummers friends come and pack the room. Our 2 hour set went off without a hitch and we had a solid performance through out. Worcester was a great time and Electric Haze is a great venue with an awesome staff. The crowd loved our sound and we can’t wait to go back!
Pacific Standard Tavern, New Haven, CT
No riots this time but we had a blast at PST. This is our favorite CT venue and we hadn’t been in almost a year to the day. Our favorite CT venue led us to really put on a show. We had a high energy crowd and pulled from our recent experimental improv set in Oneonta to fuel the jams for the evening. Taking the best ideas from the previous shows we played a well rounded set of jamming and well executed songs. We were all happy to be back at PST and cant wait to play there again soon.
Napper Tandy’s, Miller Place, Long Island NY
The last show of our three and a half week tour took place at Napper Tandy’s in the hometown of our guitarist Jeremy. This show was a great time that left us feeling really positive about what we had accomplished. No tour is perfect and each one has its own set of ups and downs. We have grown so much in this last month and after the last note was played we reflected on our accomplishments as a band thus far. Each tour gives us a new sense of accomplishment and keeps us fueled for more creation. We love this band and we love each other. We stoop together for three and a half weeks and we did it our way. No flat tires, tons of roadkill and even more memories. This is what life on the road is all about.
Tom Hamilton’s American Babies closed out a lengthy fall tour at Rochester’s Flour City Station. The 31-date tour lasted seven weeks and visited 29 cities spanning 17 states. That’s a lot of miles logged and a lot of notes played. They could have either come out tired and road weary with a just-get-it-done attitude or tighter than ever, ready to finish off 2015 strong. Luckily for us it was the latter.
The band, currently consisting of Hamilton’s long-time partner Clay Parnell on bass, Justin Mazer on guitar, Al Smith on drums, and young singer-songwriter Raina Mullen on guitar and backing vocals, played a set spanning their entire existence and beyond.
Late in the 80 minute set, Hamilton pulled out “Boy,” one of the first songs he ever wrote, originally for Brothers Past. Earlier in the evening though they introduced the audience to a couple of new songs that will likely find their way on their next recording. Each expanded on their unique universe of Americana-based rock. “What Does It Mean To Be” added in an interesting blend of reggae and grunge rock that developed into a long improvisation where some of Hamilton’s electronic history shined through. Eventually the jam wound around to a funked up cover of Bob Dylan’s “Tangled Up In Blue” that was more a cover of Jerry Garcia Band’s cover of the tune. A long and rocking two guitar assault petered into a beautifully mellow segment that picked up steam again only to find its way back into “What Does It Mean To Be” to complete a delicious sandwich.
They followed with another new tune called “Synth Driver,” with hints of the Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan fell into more of a 70s rock vibe. Things darkened up quickly with some heavy guitar effects through the middle section.
Jerry Garcia’s influence came back in a cover of Jimmy Cliff’s “The Harder They Come,” again a cover that was more influenced by Garcia’s version than the original. Some very Dead-like sounds emerged in some of the bands older tunes, particularly on takes of “They Sing ‘Old Time Religion’” and in a beautiful intro to “Invite Your Friends.” Perhaps a carry over from Hamilton’s involvement in Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, or perhaps exactly the opposite? Either way it sounded great, and the American Babies maintained an original and enjoyable take on rock music.
In only their second show ever, Buffalo’s Band of Peace, fronted by Big Leg Emma’s Steve Johnson, opened the show. Guitarist Joe Muffoletto channeled Dickey Betts to great effect, while the band romped through a rousing set of country and jazz infused rock.
Boston-based death-funk trio lespecial released their first, full-length studio album titled Omnisquid on November 20. It invites listeners to follow on a sonic voyage of nautical proportions. lespecial is Luke Bemand (bass, vocals, synth) Rory Dolan (drums, percussion, sampler) and Jonathan Grusauskas (guitar, vocals, sampler, synth).
The album tells a story of extra-terrestrial beings commandeering the minds of giant squids which rise from the ocean to wreak havoc and destruction upon the populace. This storyline plays out through a heavy soundscape with, at times, playful, nautical inspired riffs and beats that make the listener feel like they’re in an underwater dancehall. lespecial has created a world with this album and it’s oceanic inspirations are evident.
The first track on the album, “Fruit Wolf Dance,” opens with a haunting, aquatic groove building into a driving onslaught of the trio’s instrumental talents. This driving force has moments of respite allowing for each instrument to shine yet remain cohesive. Halfway through, the track takes a turn showcasing their electronic sample proficiency with bubble-like pops and the live-trap drumming lespecial has become known for. The live-trap and sample sounds coalesce into the heavier tone found earlier in the song making for a seamless display of the genre bending this band is capable of. Bemand has stated previously that this album is a return to their musical roots, showcasing “a heavier vibe throughout.”
The second number, “Squid Rising,” introduces the listener to the story of the giant squids with noticeable seafaring compositions and Bemand’s thick basslines amidst the recordings of news reports of the squid’s destruction. Following up the tale’s intro is the title track, “Omnisquid,” a frenetic serenade of layered guitar riffs and polyrhythmic drumming. “Optimus Prime Slot” features some industrial-heavy drum programming by fellow Boston-based music-maker, Rob Uslan aka Supersillyus, and make for an excellent juxtapose to Grusauskas’ pinching guitar riffs and eerie vocals.
“Sugaboi” is a jamtronica laden track, again displaying the bands diverse and ample capability of playing different styles which they seem to be poking fun at with the overlay of a recording stating “see there’s some question about my identity/ let me put it to ya this way/ I’m not sure who I am.” Possibly answering that question is the following, “Leaps Evil,” where Dolan’s drumming keeps an excellent, relentless pace amongst Grusauskas’ soaring vocals and Bemand’s standout bass riffs. “Ships in the Night” feels like a reprieve from the repetitive build and crash that previous tracks include, giving way to the album’s first pre-release single, “New Fish.” Sliding bass and a wonky guitar vibe swell to a powerful, double-bass filled barrage fading out unrelenting. Like “Leaps Evil,” “Pressed for Time” conveys lespecial’s distinct command of differentiating time signatures and penchant for high-pitched vocal harmonies.
Closing out the journey is the track “Absolutely Stunning,” recounting a fisherman’s tale of what he may or may not have seen. There’s a very cinematic, “end-of-times” vibe to this track with the addition of a cello arrangement by Julian Lenz. The cello amplifies another build and release to the heaviness that lespecial has been touting the whole album. Whilst weaving a tale of cephalopods taken over by aliens, Omnisquid most definitely exemplifies a return to form of contrasting time signatures and dark, heavy grooves. If you’re in need of a cinematic auditory experience, lespecial’s first full length has it.
All songs on the album were written and performed by lespecial and all tracks recorded and mixed by Andrew Greacen at More Sound Recording Studio in Syracuse, NY except “Ships in the Night,” recorded and mixed at the Music Cellar in Millerton NY, and the Morrison Gallery in Kent, CT. All of the tracks were mastered by Jocko at More Sound Recording Studio in Syracuse, NY.
Nashville-based indie-pop trio 
The Arkells performed an extensive high energy set to a sold out crowd at
