Machine Dream Happy Hour @ Nietzsche’s 7.3.2024

Music: 7-9PM
Cover: $5 at the Door

About The Band
Bold, intimate, and innovative: the accordion duo Machine Dream’s repertoire is an exhilarating mix of cross over world jazz, Balkan, prog-rock, and even techno-pop. Machine Dream’s interplay of traditional piano accordion and the eastern bayan paints lushly textured landscapes, drives into explosive highs, and fades into stark abstraction.

​About the Sound
The duo formed in 2021 and have spiritedly been composing and recording their 1st album, the eponymous Machine Dream. In each track, you can hear two distinctive musicians bring the best out of each other, whether it’s intertwining melody lines or swapping momentous improvisations. Machine Dream’s musical voyages have captivated listeners’ imaginations in their live performances.

Who They Are
Paul C Kozlowski on bayan is a composer, multi-instrumentalist, and recording artist who has won multiple awards for his work in scoring avant-garde theater productions and has toured internationally with his ambitious genre-bending group Casperous Vine. French born Jeremy Spindler on the piano accordion has played in a broad range of groups and specializes in the French Musette, Brazilian, and Eastern European musical styles.

Press
“It is their combined interest in world fusion music--weaving together the common threads among Mediterranean, Arab, European, and South American sounds from the distant past as well as the here and now--that unites them and makes this new endeavor such a welcome return.” Ron Ehmke in Buffalo Spree 12/21.

Ithaca meets Buffalo! Vicious Fishes, Cast Iron Cowboys, Johnny & the Man Kids, what more could one ask for? Music at 10pm sharp, $5 cover at the door!

Vicious Fishes:
"Founded in 2018, Vicious Fishes are a four-piece outfit whose swamp rock aesthetics easily tread the murky wavelengths between contemporary alternative rock and post-punk blues. At moments, their music clashes with a dense anxiety echoed in the audience's mosh pit. Haunted waltzes tremble with unresolved tension. Yet, in the angst, there’s the static buzz of an ever ringing phone call, an excitement and energy waiting to be captured.

Tracing a lineage of influence from the Clash to the Pixies, onward from the Violent Femmes to the Strokes, Vicious Fishes steady the sway of any room with their deference to the past. Romanticisms pair with wisdom though, and caustic critiques of conformity offer release from modern isolation to listeners across genres."

Cast Iron Cowboys
"Cast Iron Cowboys came together when a handful of gentlemen green to the Ithaca music scene discovered that their musical passions and inspirations not only meshed, but breathed new energy to an antique sound - classic western, Texas blues, and country bluegrass.
​
Now, if you catch a Cast Iron show, you'll find five Cowboys delivering a mixture of boot stomping barn burners, two-stepping dance numbers, and evocative ballads. Repertoire includes covers from Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and Doc Watson to Tyler Childers, Colter Wall, and Billy Strings, with original music steadily cycling in with new shows and recordings. Four-part harmonies, multi-instrumentalists trading solos, and an unflappable groove bring community together in heels, hats, and attitude to fit the theme.
​
The Cowboys are Max Moses, Josh Chamberlain, Joe Hayward, Nate Marshall, and Zeb Whitford."

Johnny & the Man Kids
“Johnny & the Man Kids are an Indie Garage Pop band and sentimental group of goofballs making sincerity cool from Buffalo, NY. With jangly guitars and catchy hooks, you’ll love these boys at first listen. Now be good!”
