Nester is Meghan Hamilton, Riki Sjachrani, Jeff Carlson, Shawndell Marks, and Ginny Kincaid. We are a Madison based modern experimental rock band that originated in 2008. Influenced by a wide variety of music, from The Strokes to Radiohead, Nester incorporates many imaginative synth lines, cryptic lyrics, exhilarating guitar riffs, driving bass lines and stimulating drum beats that come together to create an original, beautifully rocking repertoire. Live, this five member band aims to please, traveling from serenity to explosiveness and leaves their audience sneakily inspired. Nester independently released their third studio album, Scale the Walls, in 2019.
Magic Conch is a high-energy progressive, funk/rock band formed in Madison, Wisconsin. Their unique blend of heavy grooves, intricate playing, and soaring melodies has made Magic Conch a fan favorite in the Madison area. With the release of their debut album Wumbology at the tail end of 2018, the boys have performed across the state from festivals to theaters. Currently, Magic Conch is finishing the recording of their sophomore release and have been performing their new album in anticipation of a spring release. Magic Conch is Andy Gray on vocals and guitar, Jack Peterson on lead guitar, Andrew Slade on drums, and Mark Ziegler laying down the bass. The band is looking to expand their live presence to the greater Midwest area to promote their upcoming new album.
Projecting - the newest album from indie-rock duo Seasaw - will be released on April 21, 2023. The album was recorded by the Madison, WI band in their apartments throughout 2020 and was mixed by former Madisonian Beau Sorenson (Thao, Death Cab for Cutie).
Writing, recording, and performing as a two-piece, Seasaw has moved through many iterations to arrive at their newest release. Starting out as a folk band obsessed with CocoRosie, they have now fully bloomed into the fuzzed out rock and roll stepchild of their former selves. Seasaw lives for metamorphosis and continues to get comfortable embracing the flux.
Proudly admitting that they both cry at least once a day, you would never get that from the exuberant and playful songs and videos released by the pair. It seems like embracing that catharsis might be the trick to being able to thoroughly feel and enjoy the fun in this life, which is exactly what they show us on Projecting.
