TRAVELING EMPIRE:

In the vein of The Dead Milkmen, early Meat Puppets & REM. Traveling Empire brings acoustic punk rock with a taste of country, blues, and jazz. Previously Reverend Bastien & the Congregation of the Traveling Empire. The fat has been trimmed and the energy up’d. Having played in local punk/thrash bands F*ckhead Five & All Those Opposed, Bastien is back with a total mid life crisis. Come drink, dance, and remember a time before smart phones.

 

GHOSTS OF INDUSTRY:

There is always a fork in the road with the blues. Where you take it is as complex as your veins. Whether its thru a swamp or cramped corner of the city, the blues so often lay the foundation for communicating musically.

Ghosts Of Industry explore the limitless possibilities of the blues and Rock and Roll through a minimal lineup of a two string slide bass, Guitar and Drums. Creating textures and soundscapes to fill the alleyways, or to drift over the fields. These soundscapes lay the foundation for stories to be told, set to rhythms to move you.

HEALING COW:

Healing Cow is composed of four college students from schools around Boston. Precise, energetic, and catchy, the band uses the diverse musical backgrounds of each member to create an exciting Indie Garage rock group. Healing Cow is a demon and a friend.
