Kaleidoscope

Although Lovely has only been around for about a year, Chip Heck, Vinny Arceo, Dave Brandenburg and Wendell Hensley have been playing music together in various bands and projects for nearly 10 years.  Now with their debut EP, Waitin' in Dayton, and new material in the works, the band is poised for writing, recording and live performance in 2014.  Lovely visited the WYSO studios for a live set on Kaleidoscope and chatted with host Juliet Fromholt about recording the EP, writing songs together and upcoming live gigs. 

After adding a new bass player and then taking a summer-long hiatus, The Smug Brothers are returning to the stage and preparing to release new material.  Kaleidoscope host Juliet Fromholt sat down with Kyle Melton and Don Thrasher at Ghostlight Coffee to talk about the Smug Brothers' new single, music video and upcoming shows.

The Smug Brothers will perform at Jimmie's Ladder 11 on Friday, November 15th.
