Ketura + The Storyboard + The Oddities + The Occupants + Like You To Me

Ketura is taking over the world with their unique mixture of modern electronic dance music and pop-heavy rock...and they're not going to be satisfied with Earth alone. Their newest singles - an electro cover of Toto's "Hold the Line" and the rapid-fire hard-style / rock hybrid "Breathe" are a testament to how far the band has come from their early days of strumming out Nirvana songs in the garage. Hailing from the east coast of the United States, Ketura's music crosses borders effortlessly, at once both cosmic and personable. Their songs deal with day-to-day life in a big way, giving dramatic expression to the thoughts, feelings and questions we all experience. Ketura's sound - both in the studio and live - is often described as "too big" to have come from two people. Drummer Bert Windsor and vocalist / synthist / guitarist Daniel Stapleton met when they were children. Their first conversation involved starting a band together, and they've been playing music ever since. Each brings a ferocity and attention to detail to the table that causes Ketura to stand out from the rest.

THE ODDITIES
The Oddities were formed in December of 2011, with their master plan, MAKE AWESOME PUNK ROCK. Punk had such a passion, and a reckless abandon to it that Simian couldnt stay away. The first time he heard punk rock was when green day played the entire american idiot album on fuse. The aggression of it, yet the melodic back-bone attracted within seconds of first hearing it. He then started exploring punk rock and the rest is history. Andrew grew listening to Ozzy and Metallica records. He loved the energy put into the songs, and the lyrical meaning behind the fast thrash metal sound. Like Simian, Andrew first discovered punk rock when he listened to American Idiot by Green Day in his father's truck when he was 8 years old. However in his music taste, punk was still second to metal. After moving to London and starting a band with Joachim "THE JOACHIM" Cedergren, and Chris Saltzgaber, The metal sound became infused with a punk feel, in the group that would be called, Scapegoat. Andrew would bring that Scapegoat sound to the states and form the band you know today as The Oddities.
