LoadstoneD
An English teacher, a firefighter/graphic designer, a doctor, and a guy with a slate of music degrees? Yep–that’s LoadStoneD! And they’re your “kinda crazy”! Brought together in the summer of 2011 and based in Denver, Colorado, LoadStoneD is Chris Shoults (rhythm guitar, vocals), Dave Sandusky (drums), Dan Baker (bass), Tim Buckman (lead guitar)–and so much more.
The group’s latest project is a full-length release (December 1, 2012) entitled My Kinda Crazy. It’s rooted in LoadStoneD’s own brand of driving rock—as can be heard in tunes like “My Kinda Crazy,” “You Want It, Too,” “Bell Jar,” “Stuck,” and “With You, Without You”—balanced against the country stylings of tunes like “Mama, She Lied” and tied together by edgy crossover songs like “Sippy Cup” and “Ocean Eyes.” Don’t think such variety can live together on the same record? Give the latest album a listen; they’ll show you how it’s done.
As for who these guys are as musicians, they’ll tell you the music speaks for itself—revealing influences from classical to metal, as well as the members’ broad range of musical experiences. But who are these guys as people? Suffice it to say that whether Dr. Bass is charging the camera, Dave’s offending everyone with his attire, Chris is defending his drink of choice, or Tim is blazing his guitar—or banjitar—into submission, the members of LoadStoneD don’t take themselves too seriously. So, as Hunter S. Thompson put it, “Buy the ticket, take the ride”—or in this case the “trip.” The members of LSD bet you won’t be sorry.
Stay tuned for 2013 tour dates and promotions!
Zanya Laurence
Zanya Laurence, new to the stomping grounds of the Mile High City, is ready to blaze her own soulful trail through the many opportunities of a new land. Her highly anticipated sophomore album “Always”, just released this October 30th, is only the latest chapter in the story of her musical journey
she graduated from the Vocal Institute of Technology at the Musician’s Institute in Hollywood, CA with extensive training in theory & performance, while performing the Hollywood area regularly with her band in well-known venues such as the Knitting Factory, as well as cozier venues, like the Bliss Café’.
Although, Laurence is compared to several established artists, her original writing style & unique voice can be heard through her passionate expression, phrasing & thoughtful delivery. At the end of the day, Zanya’s sound is truly one of a kind.
The Dusty Neil Band
Dusty Neil is originally from Dallas, Texas, where his band played from 2006-2008, eventually landing gigs on local festival line-ups. When his band disbanded, Dusty moved to Fort Collins, Colorado to continue the music project. He met some really great musicians to form the Electric Country Powerhouse a.k.a. The Dusty Neil Band.
After tapping into the Colorado music scene, the band found themselves stepping onto the stage for FoCo Mx, Cervantes Ball Room, Greeley stampede, Mishawaka amphitheater and many more.
The Dusty Neil Band blends Electric vibes of Country with Alternative Rock and Blues. This “Electric Country” is an uplifting brand of contemporary country and rock music with an almost-classic rock feel. We are currently tracking for The Dusty Neil Band’s debut album, Electric # 13.
No More Excuses
Formed in the fall of ’09 No More Excuses set out on an Epic journey, a Rock odessey of sorts. Only good things have happened since to the eclectic quartet, so they decided to share it with everyone else. Face melting guitar mixed with driving bass, creative drumming and vocals stingingly sweet but still raw, No More Excuses is poised to return Rock N Roll to its rightful place in the underground. Lead singer Justin Duran put it best, “Rock n roll lost its edge, its supposed to scare your parents and make you wanna take ur pants off! We wanna bring that back.” Their music borrows from hardcore, indie, metal, punk, rock and whatever forms of trouble Kyle, Cody, Sam and Justin can find their way into. Sam rounds out this motley crew with innovative drums with Kyle on bass and Justin and Cody on guitars. Give ’em a chance you won’t regret it, or maybe you will but at least your pants will be off!
Starcar Sunday
Starcar Sunday is a female-fronted rock-pop band from Denver. If Gin Blossoms had two women as lead singers and they had a baby No Doubt that was raised by Cheap Trick, they might sound something like this. Together for roughly three years, Dayna Geiger, Carla Weikel, Ryan Miller, Brian AC and Billy Small make up the Denver-based powerhouse that is Starcar Sunday. They write original pop/rock songs that teem with love, fury, jealousy and compassion, and perform regularly around Metro Denver.
