Love Your Locals: Kirks Grocery Edition

Join us for LOVE YOUR LOCALS: KIRKS GROCERY EDITION featuring HELIX.EXT, MARAUD, and BRONTOPS in the Pub Station Taproom on Friday, December 13th.

HELIX.EXT
HELIX.EXT core members, Jon Lodge (trumpet/electronics) & Shane de Leon (drums/guitar) improvise alongside bassist and new collaborator, Monte Allen. The inventive improvised pieces of free-noise funk skip by, fluttering in & out, repetitive grooves with distorto-trumpet feedback and rhythmic drone bop. Zone / freak out to this mix of free improvisation, & kicked out jams.

Monte Allen started legendary Portland, OR group Rollerball/RLLRBLL in 1993 with Mae Starr and Gilles. The original trio is still going strong. De Leon served a decade in Rollerball but departed in 2007 to begin Miss Massive Snowflake. This recording is Monte and Shane’s first time playing together in 15 years.
Jon Lodge attended Berklee College of Music & has fostered free jazz, musique concrete, minimalism, & experimental music for decades in Billings, Montana. His visual art is in museums & galleries throughout the US. A whirlwind of ideas, energy, & love of life.
MARAUD
Maraud is a Post industrial project started in 2019. Maraud seeks through their recordings and live performances to present sounds, texts, and information which unflinchingly confronts the topics of mistreatment of Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island. The cultural and spiritual war against settler colonialist fascism, the myth of white supremacy, and the inner turmoil of Indigenous Peoples’ continued struggle for survival on their homelands are realities that Maraud tackles in their work. Drawing upon their Northern Arapaho heritage and their experiences living as an Indigenous person in the so called “land of the free”, Maraud creates a sound influenced by those experiences as well as drawing upon many sects of post industrial media.
Love Your Locals is an ongoing series at Pub Station that showcases and supports local talent, as well as provides music industry education opportunities throughout the year. LOVE YOUR LOCALS is Sponsored by Michelob Ultra.

Stranded By Choice Album Release Party

Please join us for Stranded By Choice’s album release with special guests Render Me Silent on Saturday, December 7th in The Pub Station Taproom.

Montana based rock band Stranded By Choice has toured and recorded for over a decade. SBC pulls elements of southern rock, thrash and punk to create a unique sound and an unforgettable live performance.  Their fourth studio album Neptune’s Gate was released last year and is available on all streaming services. Stranded By Choice has been featured in Powerplay Magazine, Noise and Color Magazine, Billings Gazette, Paste Magazine’s “50 States Project” as well as numerous online publications, blogs, and reviews. They recently completed a 10-date tour of the Southern U.S. and are set to release a live compilation album later this year.  Visit www.strandedbychoice.com to keep up on the latest news, shows and more.

“There’s an element to Stranded By Choice that’s decidedly old fashioned, and it’s not just their spacy, epic album covers. They name check bands like Clutch, Thin Lizzy and Mountain as influences. And you can hear it. There’s a touch of Clutch’s Neil Fallon to Feeley’s throaty vocals. Stranded By Choice have a deep, powerfully precise rhythm section that echoes Mountain. And Young and Rutt run around their fretboards at lightning pace, just like Thin Lizzy’s groundbreaking guitarist Gary Moore. 
 
But if there’s one thing that Stranded by Choice sound like more than anything else, it’s themselves. They’re a band that is totally confident in their sound. There’s just nobody else like them.”  -Billings Gazette ’23
