THE BAKERS Retro amps spit an equal mix grit and vintage soul, spouting expertly distorted bass lines and jarringly tight drum beats. Slather on juicy guitar licks, and The Bakers is stirring one finely tuned indie-rock pot. Laced with an unapologetically catchy air, The Bakers' set list manages to sound familiar while steering completely its own course. Apart, Brandon Heise (guitar, vocals), Andrew (Zimmy) Zimmerman (bass, vocals) and Erik Gunderson (drums) are three of the region's most sought-after musical talents; together, they comprise a band that refuses to conform to cover-band status and owns its original swagger unlike most any Midwestern band.

NATE LENZ Singer songwriter that desires to play music that moves people past the simple melody, music that causes people to feel.

Singer, songwriter, and guitarist Nick Amadeus creates memorable hooks and quirky riffs all while paying homage to the old days of rock & roll.
FICTION DOG We cut our teeth playing classic rock and grunge covers in the early to mid 1990's and recorded "fido" in response to playing too many biker bars. We supported our debut disc throughout Wisconsin, from Minneapolis to Chicago, from Green Bay to LaCrosse, and of course in our hometown of Wausau. After a number of recordings, we enjoy a prominent and loyal following throughout Wisconsin, and perform at the Crawdadathon street dance during July in Wittenberg, WI.
RICO Rico Jaeger writes as a solo artist and performs live with his band, AREA 51 in the upper mid-west. Classically-trained on several instruments as well as voice, he views rock n' roll with an "old-school" approach. "Nothing against any of the talented bands out there today, but as a singer I prefer to sing," referring to the many screamers now fronting hugely successful acts. He views his writing style as more of an "inspiration.""I don't write as much as sing what comes through me. I think people can relate to the stories in my songs..."
CHAOS AND CONTROL We are pretty much all over the place. We have a lot of different influences between the five of us which makes for some pretty interesting music. We do butt heads sometimes but suprisingly little considering the diversity of our tastes. It's definately rock music but also a slurry of numerous other influences, we like to call it ChaosAndControl.
