Hey Steve

New wave punk band Hey Steve taps the flamboyant musicality of The Cars, Devo, The Clash, and The Talking Heads, and tosses it into a blender with the dark satire of Kurt Vonnegut and the wry observational wit of David Sedaris. Within a narrative context, the band waxes absurd and poetic about the apocalypse, courtship rituals, and manners, among other things.

Hey Steve is the brainchild of Luke Dick, an Oklahoma born, Nashville based songsmith who has penned hits for the likes of Eric Church, Miranda Lambert, Kacey Musgraves and Dierks Bentley. Hot on the heels of his debut as a filmmaker, Dick released Hey Steve’s sophomore EP in February 2020. “Steve by Steve” is a danceable satirical analysis of American modernity in the age of Bitcoin, astrology, and Instagram stalking. As quarantine descended on Hey Steve, they continued to create, releasing the single “Do the Apocalypse” and later their third EP “Guru Steve” in which he collaborated with Patrick Carney on its title track “Guru.”

The Foxies

NOTHING TRULY DIES IN A GOTH DISCO … ESPECIALLY NOT ROCK.

BY NOW, THE SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECY THAT ROCK IS DEAD IS ALL TOO FAMILIAR – AND ALL TOO CLICHÉ. BUT YOU’LL FIND NO EVIDENCE FOR IT WITH THE FOXIES.

A MODERN POWER TRIO BUILT ON THRASHING PUNK ENERGY AND THE HYPNOTIC PAGEANTRY OF ELECTRONIC POP, THE FOXIES FERAL BRAND OF ROCK IS JUST NOW EMERGING, DESPITE MORE THAN HALF A DECADE OF RESTLESS PROWLING. THEY’VE ALREADY BUILT A LOYAL FOLLOWING THROUGH EUPHORIC LIVE SHOWS AND SNARLING, SELF-STYLED RECORDINGS, PREACHING EMPOWERMENT AND SHARP-TOOTHED INDIVIDUALITY AT MAXIMUM VOLUME. BUT WITH THE NEW EP, GROWING UP IS DEAD, THEY’VE FOUND A BRAVE NEW CREATIVE FOCUS – EVIDENCE THAT ROCK ‘N’ ROLL IS VERY MUCH ALIVE.
