About In The Whale: 

In the Whale is a high energy two-piece rock band hailing from Denver, CO. Members Nate Valdez (vocals and guitar) and Eric Riley (drums and backing vocals) have been making no-nonsense, balls-to-the-wall rock songs since they formed the band in 2011. 

Since then, the two have stayed busy exploring the seedier sides of Denver that inspires their music. In 2012 they released their first EP, 'Cake', and followed it up with the EP, 'Eric', in the late fall of 2013. In between those two releases they played with a stupid number of artists you'd happily phone home about. In addition to sharing stages with bands like Murder By Death, Local H, Reverend Horton Heat and Electric Six in their hometown, the band has hit the road and played alongside The Airborne Toxic Event, Agent Orange, Jane's Addiction and Slash. In the Whale released their third EP titled 'Nate' in April 2014 and will continue relentlessly touring until they have conquered everything.

Catch In the Whale's incredible live show on tour this winter!

Gemini Club Announce Fall Tour Dates

http://geminiclub.fm

The new music video for the song “Sparklers” by Chicago-based indie-dance four piece Gemini Club was directed by visual & street artist Brain Killer and produced by Red Bull Sound Select. The video debuts today and can be viewed at www.redbullsoundselect.com. Fans can also download a free MP3 featuring a new mix of the song via the Gemini Club Soundcloud page.

Shot on location in Chicago, the concept behind “Sparklers” was a collaborative effort, melding the band’s dance rock sound with Brain Killer’s darker aesthetic. Gemini Club had ideas for the video revolving around projection mapping, warping physical space and time-lapse shots. Per Gemini Club’s Daniel Brunelle, “Brain Killer took our ideas and wove them into a complete narrative that really made the song shine.”

Gemini Club is Tom Gavin (vocals), Gordon Bramli (DJ), Daniel Brunelle (production) and Ryan Luciani (drums). The infectious electronic-tinged, indie rock-influenced songs found on their two EPs, mixed with their unique live set up--featuring a specially designed rig that allows for on-the-fly remixing of their own songs--have made them one of Chicago’s leading bands to watch. Gemini Club most recently performed as direct support for Metric during Red Bull Sound Select’s free concert series in July. The band just announced a number of additional shows, including stops at Chicago’s North Coast Music Festival and Los Angeles’ Cultures Collide Festival. See full tour routing below.

Look for Gemini Club’s new single “Preached” to be released this fall via Red Bull Sound Select.
