The End Men (Blues-Punk/Brooklyn)
Support: Cptn Knife (A)
DJs Delta Punk
The End Men were created in Brooklyn in 2010 as a core two-piece with an extended family. Composed of Matthew Hendershot (guitar and vocals) and Livia Ranalli (drums, percussion and vocals), and currently featuring Matthew Elia on saxophone and Joe Page on trumpet, most listeners are surprised to find that the powerful sound The End Men produce is created by such a simple arrangement. With raw, rasp-soaked vocals, the multiple amp guitar-split to give the illusion of bass, and a rock solid drum pocket peppered with percussive elements, the band rides a wave of dirty blues rock and vaudevillian stomp, all accented by a searing horn section. The live experience harkens back to a smokey sideshow tucked away on the bayou; captivating and eccentric in its intensity. Comedic interludes offset the energetic musical onslaught as they play anything within reach in an ever-evolving and seemingly barely-controlled musical chaos. Homemade and customized instruments and found objects litter the stage all adding to the “who knows what may happen next” vibe that often engages and always entertains their crowds. Don´t let the reckless abandon fool you however as just behind the facade sits talent and musical skill that has been decades in the making. The band´s discography kicked off in 2011 with the EP `Build It Up´, followed by their first LP `Play With Your Toys´ in 2013 and `Odds & Ends´ in 2014. Their latest album `Terms And Conditions´, released spring 2015, was welcome with enthusiasm on an international level, and included an artistic collaboration with illustrator Nick Dragotta for the artwork on the album’s single cover. Matthew currently endorses and is supported by Lust For Tone handmade guitar pickups, Howling Monkey handmade guitar picks and Volume and Tone leather accessories. Livia endorses and is supported by Dream Cymbals and was profiled in the internationally distributed drum magazine, Tom Tom, in 2012. They have toured extensively since the band´s beginnings, covering major markets in the Northeast and Midwest United States including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Nashville, Kansas City and all stops in between. Also, they have toured Europe four times with plans in the works to return in 2016, covering Belgium, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and The Netherlands. The End Men have supported a wide variety of international rock acts, including Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots, My Goodness, Urban Junior, The Rodney Marsalis Philadelphia Big Brass Band (son of Wynton Marsalis), and Rusted Root. They have also appeared on a range of festival stages including the main stage of Some Kind of Jam, multiple years of the Utica Music and Arts Festival, Infringement Festival, and other events of national and international relevance.
Cptn Knife
Der Sound von captain knife zeichnet sich primär durch die Abwesenheit des Rock´n´Roll Instruments Nr. 1 – der Gitarre – aus, was die 16 Arme und Beine von captain knife jedoch nicht davon abhält in mehrstimmigen, repetitiven Strukturen mehr an AC/DC als an Joseph Haydn zu erinnern. Für ihren Stil müssen neue Schubladen erfunden werden – Brachialchanson trifft es wohl am ehesten.
Cello, Viola und Violine garniert mit Piano, Saxophon, Bass, Pauke und Schlagzeug sind die Ingredienzien des unverwechselbaren Stils des Teufelsorchesters. Ihr Debütalbum “melody harder” ist eine eigensinnig, dreckig, düster treibende Berg- und Talfahrt die sich um Kettensägen, Blut, Beuschel und expressionistische Lyrik dreht. Tom Waits und Dmitri Shostakovich betrinken sich und finden eine Werkzeugkiste.
