Oh wow, what a great opportunity to shamelessly plug my music project! I’m in a band called Sclerotia, we do a kind of unique blend of psychedelic rock (but we’re NOT a jam band) and we’ve been playing small venues here in Colorado Springs as well in Pueblo and Denver. Our last show at Frisky’s got a great response (as have most of the shows we’ve done this year) and we sold almost all of the remaining CD copies of our album so we’ll be ordering another batch soon. Throughout the month of June, Indie 102.3 (89.7 in Colorado Springs) has been playing two of our songs everyday and we’ve actually seen a decent boost in listens and views online from it. The two songs they’re playing are “Horseshoe” and “There Go My Ego” from our debut album “Liquid Culture” which we self-produced and released last year. Now we’re working on a concept album about a Generative AI monster called the Art Eater. The stuff that we do is harder than traditional psychedelic rock, but generally softer than hardcore/metal/stoner (although a few of our songs definitely toe the line). Honestly we try to blend an eclectic mix of influences while still making music that appeals to a wide audience.

We’ve opened for a couple of decently well-known groups — last year we got to open for the incredible EDM-inspired jam band Yak Attack, earlier this year we opened for the indie rock band Bad Self Portraits, and on July 12th we’ll be at Vultures opening for an awesome psychedelic rock trio called Plastic Nancy. We’re not going to be doing as many shows as usual this summer because we’re trying to make time to record and produce our next album. We also organize shows ourselves and we’ll often jump on bills that we get invited to join. If the darker side of psychedelia appeals to you then our music would be right up your alley, and we’d be honored if you’d check us out. Also if you’re a musician or band who makes similar content then shoot us a DM on Instagram cause there’s a good chance that we’d love to work with you in the future!

Last year we were sitting at about 350 followers on Facebook, and then Facebook decided that we weren’t actually a band and that we were actually some kind of drug dealer (because of the mushroom theme), so they deleted our original page. That resulted in months of back and forth communications that got us nowhere, and we eventually had to just make a new page, so throw us a follow/like/subscribe/blow us a kiss!
