Meet the Bands

PLANETS IN THE OCEAN

Planets in the Ocean is the new power trio that played our first show in July of 2022. In just a years time we have released two EP's and two singles. We are working on more! We are playing shows to enthusiastic crowds. We have been played on a half dozen radio stations and have had a write up in American Songwriter. This is just the start! Come see us live or spin our tunes on the web. We have T-shirts, Stickers, Buttons at the shows. The goal is to create a full length vinyl album and build up the new brand with lots of PNW shows over the next year! Join us on the journey! We'd love to see you at a show!

STEREO EMBERS

Myself, Tim DiJulio, Cass Laton, & Gown Chang play blistering original Rock & Roll!  8 years of Northwest Rock! We crushed the clubs and outdoor festivals before calling it a day. We have 3 EP's and a vinyl released on Hockeytalkter records. Totally worth a listen if you have the time! Stereo Embers came to a close in early 2022 but you never know when a reunion might happen!

Robb Benson & the Shelk

Is it a band? Is it a solo thing? Yes! Sort of both! I started this as home studio recordings but full productions in my basement and released one full length CD. I also kept releasing demo styled albums from my home studio. They are raw and cool basement vibes and they go in a million directions. Some songs because the seeds of Stereo Embers tunes.

THE GLASS NOTES

Jake Uitti and I started this band, 4 years and 2 full length albums. I wrote the songs Jake wrote all the lyrics. Over 120 songs were co-written and recorded! We still co-write today! 

I have gained much song poem experience by writing Jakes words into songs! Click the link to hear some of our fully produced tunes with the full band we built it into.

DEPT OF ENERGY

Ty Bailie of course is now the keyboard player for Katy Perry so we don't have much time to recreate this monster cool band we had for 3 CD's and 4 years of live shows. Roam records, thanks for all your support!

Dear John Letters

What can I say, a band with Johnny Sangster is all anyone needs to say in the Northwest, he's currently in Niko Case's band. I can't believe he stuck with this for 3 full albums and 4 years of live shows! I guess we were cool enough to get a Wikipedia page! Thank you to Foodchain Records in LA! We made it all the way up to #34 on the college charts baby!! Much of these lyrics were poems from my friend Michelle.

Nevada Bachelors

This was the first band I was in to get a record deal. Late 90s rock at it's best! Thank you very much to Pop Llama Records for releasing our two albums. Again... rad band and we have a wiki page to explain it all!

Thistle

This band should have been huge! 

Young and full of piss and vinegar...

but a few things just didn't let that happen! 

We did make a vinyl 7' record and we sold 500 of them!
