Music

The Yugos are a young band from the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area.  Beginning as a duo and then growing into a four-piece, they released full length album Life Is Awesome And Then You Live Forever earlier this year. The band visited the WYSO studios for a live set on Kaleidoscope and talked about their music so far and what's coming up in 2014.

Georgia Goad and Sean Pennington of A Shade of Red make a long awaited return to Kaleidoscope ahead of a benefit show they're hosting at Therapy Cafe to benefit the local chapter of GLSEN, the Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network.  The duo perform an acoustic set live, talk about a new addition to the band and upcoming plans.

A Shade of Red will perform at Therapy Cafe on November 22nd along with Curse of Cassandra and Paige & the Bel Airs.

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.

Lost on Iddings make a return visit to the WYSO studios with a reformed lineup and renewed energy.  The seven-piece band recently completed an album called the Buckeye Sessions, recorded with Buckeye Music Magazine and is now looking forward to more live performances including a gig opening for New Riders of the Purple Sage. 

Lost on Iddings performs live at the Oregon Express on Friday, November 8th with Hazy and the Rugged Child.
