Kaleidoscope

Already familiar with each other's playing and friends from the Detroit music scene, the members of Destroy This Place found it easy to combine musical forces as the band came together.  Ahead of their local performance, Destroy This Place's Ryan Allen spoke with Kaleidoscope host Juliet Fromholt about the band's early days, their new album and embracing a heavier sound.

Destroy This Place performs at Blind Bob's on Friday, July 26th with Oh Condor, Yakuza Heart Attack, Perhaps and Brujas del Sol.

In the years since changing their name to Oh Condor, the band has released an EP via Gas Daddy Go records and is figuring out how best to release a collection of newer and older songs.  Three members of the band visited the WYSO studios to perform acoustic versions of their songs ahead of a performance at Blind Bob's.

Members of the New Old-Fashioned visited Kaleidoscope shortly before their debut show.  Nearly two and a half years later the band is going strong and beginning to craft new material for a sophomore album.  The New Old-Fashioned visited the WYSO studios ahead of a busy August of live gigs including a stint at the Greene County Fair and a performance at Canal Street Tavern with Shrug and Sandwich.

After their live set, the band stuck around to spin songs from some of their favorite local artists and share stories from their early days in the Dayton Music Scene.

Taking their name from an early misadventure that brought the bandmates together, Box truck Rescue have spent their early months as a band taking on lots of live performances in a variety of settings.  They've got a busy summer ahead and plans to head into the studio later this year.  The band visited the WYSO Studios for a live performance on Kaleidoscope and spoke with host Juliet Fromholt about what lies ahead.

Box Truck Rescue will perform at Jimmie's Ladder 11 on July 31st.

Skilless Villains began as acoustic duo and as they started connecting with other musicians, a full band emerged.  After performing live for many years, the band recently released its Made in Ohio EP and visited the WYSO studios to share both tracks from the EP and some newer material. 

Skilless Villains will perform on Saturday, July 6th at the Greene and will be appearing at TabFest later in July.
