Culture Queer and Old City
CULTURE QUEER facebook reverbnation
CULTURE QUEER PLAYS MUSIC FOR WEIRDOS AND OUTSIDERS, OPTING FOR INCLUSIVE MELODIES AND HEARTFELT SOUNDSCAPES.
"Culture Queer’s adventurous, eccentric Pop experiments are a melding of hyper-catchy hooks delivered over the foursome’s morphing backdrop of electronics and fluctuating forms of Rock music. Consisting of three filmmakers, Culture Queer performances (delivered everywhere from art galleries to corner bars) are A/V spectaculars, featuring video art accompaniment that can be mixed live. The band has released three brilliant albums, starting with Supersize It Under Pontius Pilate in 2004 and culminating with last year’s Nightmare Band, which was nominated for Album of the Year at the 2012 Cincinnati Entertainment Awards." -Mike Breen (CityBeat)

OLD CITY facebook reverbnation
Starting out as a solo electronic project of long-time Cincinnati music alum Sammy McKee (view-finder, Charlston Entry, Bitter Airplane, and Kaptain), Old City has quickly grown into a dynamic, live trio in the sonic vein of Poster Children, Dinosaur Jr. and Sonic Youth. You will also hear hints of Wussy, Guided by Voices, Polvo and even Lou Reed in Sammy's melodic delivery. The band currently consists of McKee on guitar and vocals AND Dave Cupp (Man Halen, Caterpillar Tracks) on drums. Robyn Roth (Knife the Symphony, Theraphosa) AND Gabriel Molnar (Sometimes, Little Lights, 1000 Arms) have played a key role in the band's transition from solo act to solid group and informed many of the moods and melodies with their unique approach to the bass guitar.
