Now boasting over 2 billion global streams across platforms\, the band first began building their devoted fanbase with independent albums SEVEN + MARY(2013) and RKS (2015). In May 2024\, Rainbow Kitten Surprise released their first album in six years\, LOVE HATE MUSIC BOX. Produced by Daniel Tashian (Kacey Musgraves) along with Konrad Snyder (Noah Kahan) and lead singer Ela Melo\, the record is the band’s most vulnerable project yet\, and has been met with critical praise from Billboard\, Consequence\, Paste\, and more. LOVE HATE MUSIC BOX follows the band’s breakout full-length debut for Elektra\, HOW TO: FRIEND\, LOVE\, FREEFALL\, which arrived in April 2018. Produced by GRAMMY® Award-winner Jay Joyce (Cage The Elephant\, Lainey Wilson)\, the album featured RIAA-certified Platinum single “It’s Called: Freefall\,” earned widespread praise from Billboard\, TIME\, Vice\, and NPR\, and saw the band make several national television appearances\, including performances on “CBS Saturday Morning\,” “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert\,” and PBS’s “Austin City Limits.” After gracing the bills of Bonnaroo\, Lollapalooza\, and Osheaga\, to name a few\, RKS moved 80\,000 tickets of their own on the sold-out 2018/2019 Friend\, Love\, Freefall Tour. \n\n\n\nFollowing a sold-out run of underplay shows in May\, Rainbow Kitten Surprise returned to the road this fall for the LOVE HATE MUSIC BOX Tour\, which notably marked their largest tour to date. The 35-show run included multiple arena headline dates\, a stop at Radio City Music Hall in New York\, and two nights at the iconic Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles. \n\n\n\nRainbow Kitten Surprise is: Ela Melo (lead vocals)\, Darrick “Bozzy” Keller (guitar\, vocals)\, Ethan Goodpaster (lead guitar\, vocals)\, Jess Haney (drums). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Medium Build \n\n\n\nAs a musician with a nomadic lifestyle\, Nick Carpenter often enters spaces as a stranger and leaves with lifelong friends. The creator of Medium Build possesses a connective charisma that shows in his songs and performances—which can seem like equal parts concerts\, testimony\, and stand-up comedy. That gift and yearning for connection has been amplified during a transformative season for Nick. In 2023\, Medium Build signed with slowplay / Island Records\, toured with Lewis Capaldi\, and reached the Billboard charts for the first time collaborating with X Ambassadors. Life was pulling Carpenter away from his home\, dog\, and sense of belonging in Anchorage to Nashville. Nick spent his drives looking\, listening\, and reflecting. This inner and outer journey led to Country\, the thematic album draws from Carpenter’s roots as much as it considers his future—while exploring genre. His music is as vast and unique as his backstory\, but “if you slow all of my songs down\, they’re just three-cord bummer Country tunes\,” he admits. Evident in the video single “Cutting Thru The Country\,” this collection packs for a trip that explores wide open spaces\, musical frontiers\, and oneself.Medium Build began as the name Nick Carpenter attached to four-track recordings a decade ago. The storyteller applied aspects of a middle-class church-going Georgia childhood and a Tennessee education to truths learned along the way—ultimately delivering the queer extrovert to find a community in Alaska. There is duality and dichotomy in Medium Build’s life and music—but it is drenched in authenticity. The music has endured\, resonated\, and connected with a growing base. “Now I’m realizing that my career can last longer than five seconds and I can kind of just breathe and show one thing at a time\,” Nick shares. His dynamic catalog mirrors the people who have shown up in his corner: Elton John\, Boygenius\, John Mayer\, and Noah Kahan\, to name a few. 2019’s somber and synth-tinged “Be Your Boy” and 2022’s therapeutic “Never Learned To Dance” are fan favorites amid the kaleidoscope of sounds and moods. Country seems much more focused\, even if birthed by uncertainty.Now in his thirties\, Nick says he only recently learned about his father’s poor rural South Carolina upbringing. As a result\, Country music was something Nick’s dad covered up—along with the poverty and corresponding shame of his past. “I had no sense of identity as far as place\,” the artist admits. Lately\, the father and son began talking about the past and sharing Country tunes—exchanging culture and heritage. As an understanding of his DNA developed\, perhaps the twang and American in Medium Build’s songs stood out. However\, his Country is something unsurprisingly personal. “It feels self-soothing\,” Nick says of the opener\, “Beach Chair\,” which is a love letter to self in a time of need. “Crying Over U” is deeply specific but conjures emotions in us all—when confronted by closure and what remains in the rearview.Written on the road\, Country was fittingly recorded on Nashville’s Music Row. Carpenter and creative partner Jake LiBassi\, aka Laiko\, embraced experimentation. “We made the album we wanted to make\,” he says joyfully and confidently. “It’s so easy to get back in touch with yourself if you can throw off the heavy cloak of duty and just do something that feels good.” At a time when people take the same photo a dozen times in search of a curated aesthetic\, Medium Build captures the snapshot. The lyrics and the spirit of Country embrace both wandering and wondering. “I want this to feel lived-in\,” Nick says. “It’s sort of me finding a defined place.”

Boys & Girls earned the band multiple GRAMMY nominations and was hailed as one of the year’s best albums by numerous publications\, including Rolling Stone\, which also named lead single “Hold On” the #1 Best Song of 2012. Soon after its release\, the bandmates found themselves thrust into the global spotlight\, achieving such milestones as performing at the White House and on “Saturday Night Live.” \n\n\n\nThe band’s legacy continued to grow with the groundbreaking Sound & Color (ATO Records). Released 10 years ago\, the album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200\, won GRAMMY Awards for Best Alternative Music Album and Best Engineered Album\, Non Classical. The first single\, “Don’t Wanna Fight\,” took honors in the Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song categories. Sound & Color marked a profound evolution from Alabama Shakes’ debut album\, as The New York Times Magazine observed\, heralding the band’s “soul-stirring\, shape-shifting new sound.” Both Sound & Color and Boys & Girls were certified Platinum by the RIAA. \n\n\n\nThe Shakes’ Cockrell\, Fogg\, & Howard have also reunited in the studio promising new music to fans who have been eagerly awaiting their return. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Y La BambaTo declare one thematic narrative from Lucha\, Y La Bamba’s seventh album\, would be to chisel away a story within a story within a story into the illusion of something singular. \n\n\n\n“Lucha is a symbol of how hard it is for me to tackle healing\, live life\, and be present\,” Luz Elena Mendoza Ramos\, lead vocalist and producer of Y La Bamba\, says of the title behind the album which translates from Spanish to English as ‘fight’ and is also a nickname for Luz\, which means light. The album explores multiplicity—love\, queerness\, Mexican American and Chicanx identity\, family\, intimacy\, yearning\, loneliness—and chronicles a period of struggle and growth for Mendoza Ramos as a person and artist. \n\n\n\nLucha was born out of isolation at the advent of COVID-19 lockdowns\, beginning with a cover of Hank Williams’ “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry\,” and following Mendoza Ramos as she moved from Portland\, Oregon to Mexico City\, returning to her parents’ home country while revisiting a lineage marred by violence and silence\, and simultaneously reaching towards deeper relationships with loved ones and herself. The album reflects “another tier of facing vulnerability\,” as Mendoza Ramos explains\, and is a battle cry to fight in order to be seen and to be accepted\, if not celebrated\, in every form—anger and compassion\, externally and internally\, individually and societally. As much as la lucha is about inner work\, fighting is borne from survival stemming from social structures designed to uplift dominant groups at the hands of suffering amongst the marginalized. \n\n\n\nWhile peeling back layers of the past to better understand the present has been integral to this period of growth for Mendoza Ramos\, time\, trauma\, and history can feel like interconnected\, abysmal loops and music has remained a trusted space for Mendoza Ramos to process\, experiment\, and channel her learnings into a creative practice. In this way\, Lucha has become cyclical\, documenting the parallel trust Mendoza Ramos has built with herself to allow the songs to guide how they should be sung\, or even sound. \n\n\n\n“I’ve been wanting to let whatever feels natural—with rhythm and musical instruments like congas and singing—to just let it be\, in the way that I’m trying to invoke in myself.” Lucha reflects on\, “the continuing process of learning how to exercise my producing skills\,” explains Mendoza Ramos. “I have so many words\, ideas to work with all the time\, and the hardest part for me has been learning to trust my gut. And figuring out how I work best\, and with who.” \n\n\n\nThe result is a collection as sonically sprawling and bold as its subject matter. On “La Lluvia de Guadalajara\,” Y La Bamba leans into a minimal\, avant-garde soundscape as Mendoza Ramos recites a spoken word poem. Later\, rhythms veer into bossa nova territory on “Hues ft. Devendra Banhart\,” a full-circle collaboration for Mendoza Ramos as she reminisces on the significance of finding Banhart’s work nearly two decades earlier: “He was the first young Spanish-speaking musician that wasn’t playing traditional Mexican music I heard when I was 21. There was nothing like it around that time.” \n\n\n\n“Nunca” is a warm\, wind-rich track dedicated to her mother\, Maria Elena Ramos whose poetry is published alongside the Lucha lyrics booklet. “I decided to put my mom’s poem\, which is a poem that she wrote to me\, letting me know how she felt\, exploring her heart in new ways she’s never imagined. Sharing it on the record is me paying attention that she’s expressing herself.” \n\n\n\nWhile each song holds personal significance to Mendoza Ramos\, part of growing into her identity as an artist has been allowing space for protection and boundaries\, and choosing to withhold some of that meaning from the public. Lucha is her own story of the complexity of trauma and nonlinear healing and growth processes\, but she imagines it is also the continuation of her ancestors’ stories and might also be a mirror to the story of others. “Even though I’m trying to fight\, I never want to demonize suffering\, because that’s part of growing. And it’s hard\, because we’re living in times where that [stigma] is what’s happening. So if this—me talking about my mental health and finding healing in my queerness—is a risk\, I hope that I find a community that protects it and protects me\, because they know I have their back. I am also trying to be my mom’s community.”

Sound & Color marked a profound evolution from Alabama Shakes’ debut album\, as The New York Times Magazine observed\, heralding the band’s “soul-stirring\, shape-shifting new sound.” Both Sound & Color and Boys & Girls were certified Platinum by the RIAA. \n\n\n\nThe Shakes’ Cockrell\, Fogg\, & Howard have also reunited in the studio promising new music to fans who have been eagerly awaiting their return. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Y La BambaTo declare one thematic narrative from Lucha\, Y La Bamba’s seventh album\, would be to chisel away a story within a story within a story into the illusion of something singular. \n\n\n\n“Lucha is a symbol of how hard it is for me to tackle healing\, live life\, and be present\,” Luz Elena Mendoza Ramos\, lead vocalist and producer of Y La Bamba\, says of the title behind the album which translates from Spanish to English as ‘fight’ and is also a nickname for Luz\, which means light. The album explores multiplicity—love\, queerness\, Mexican American and Chicanx identity\, family\, intimacy\, yearning\, loneliness—and chronicles a period of struggle and growth for Mendoza Ramos as a person and artist. \n\n\n\nLucha was born out of isolation at the advent of COVID-19 lockdowns\, beginning with a cover of Hank Williams’ “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry\,” and following Mendoza Ramos as she moved from Portland\, Oregon to Mexico City\, returning to her parents’ home country while revisiting a lineage marred by violence and silence\, and simultaneously reaching towards deeper relationships with loved ones and herself. The album reflects “another tier of facing vulnerability\,” as Mendoza Ramos explains\, and is a battle cry to fight in order to be seen and to be accepted\, if not celebrated\, in every form—anger and compassion\, externally and internally\, individually and societally. As much as la lucha is about inner work\, fighting is borne from survival stemming from social structures designed to uplift dominant groups at the hands of suffering amongst the marginalized. \n\n\n\nWhile peeling back layers of the past to better understand the present has been integral to this period of growth for Mendoza Ramos\, time\, trauma\, and history can feel like interconnected\, abysmal loops and music has remained a trusted space for Mendoza Ramos to process\, experiment\, and channel her learnings into a creative practice. In this way\, Lucha has become cyclical\, documenting the parallel trust Mendoza Ramos has built with herself to allow the songs to guide how they should be sung\, or even sound. \n\n\n\n“I’ve been wanting to let whatever feels natural—with rhythm and musical instruments like congas and singing—to just let it be\, in the way that I’m trying to invoke in myself.” Lucha reflects on\, “the continuing process of learning how to exercise my producing skills\,” explains Mendoza Ramos. “I have so many words\, ideas to work with all the time\, and the hardest part for me has been learning to trust my gut. And figuring out how I work best\, and with who.” \n\n\n\nThe result is a collection as sonically sprawling and bold as its subject matter. On “La Lluvia de Guadalajara\,” Y La Bamba leans into a minimal\, avant-garde soundscape as Mendoza Ramos recites a spoken word poem. Later\, rhythms veer into bossa nova territory on “Hues ft. Devendra Banhart\,” a full-circle collaboration for Mendoza Ramos as she reminisces on the significance of finding Banhart’s work nearly two decades earlier: “He was the first young Spanish-speaking musician that wasn’t playing traditional Mexican music I heard when I was 21. There was nothing like it around that time.” \n\n\n\n“Nunca” is a warm\, wind-rich track dedicated to her mother\, Maria Elena Ramos whose poetry is published alongside the Lucha lyrics booklet. “I decided to put my mom’s poem\, which is a poem that she wrote to me\, letting me know how she felt\, exploring her heart in new ways she’s never imagined. Sharing it on the record is me paying attention that she’s expressing herself.” \n\n\n\nWhile each song holds personal significance to Mendoza Ramos\, part of growing into her identity as an artist has been allowing space for protection and boundaries\, and choosing to withhold some of that meaning from the public. Lucha is her own story of the complexity of trauma and nonlinear healing and growth processes\, but she imagines it is also the continuation of her ancestors’ stories and might also be a mirror to the story of others. “Even though I’m trying to fight\, I never want to demonize suffering\, because that’s part of growing. And it’s hard\, because we’re living in times where that [stigma] is what’s happening. So if this—me talking about my mental health and finding healing in my queerness—is a risk\, I hope that I find a community that protects it and protects me\, because they know I have their back. I am also trying to be my mom’s community.”

His songs like the No. 1 PLATINUM hit “There Was This Girl\,” the 3X-PLATINUM-certified heart-tugger “I Wish Grandpas Never Died” (which he performed live at the 55th ACM Awards)\, and his chart-topping collab with Thomas Rhett\, “Half of Me\,” have made Riley synonymous with what Country music does best: making listeners feel something with his no-gimmick\, relatable writing and classic feel. \n\n\n\nAn avid sports fan\, former athlete (Jacksonville State University quarterback) and outdoorsman\, Riley is riding a wave of success after being named the Academy of Country Music’s 2020 New Male Artist of the Year\, a former MusicRow Breakout Artist of the Year\, a CMT “Listen Up Artist\,” and one of CRS’s 2020 New Faces.

Combs joined Riley on his third No. 1 single “Different ‘Round Here (Ft. Luke Combs)\,” the title track to Riley’s 2019 debut album that he re-recorded with Combs after seeing how fans connected to it. \n\n\n\nHis forthcoming third studio album\, produced by Dann Huff\, will arrive on his birthday\, October 18 with more of the signature Riley Green fans have come to know and love from the good ol’ boy who still lives in his hometown of Jacksonville\, AL. Currently on an incredible hot streak\, Green’s well-earned confidence in his work shines through across the 18-track set with five of the tracks being solely written including standouts “Jesus Saves\,” “Worst Way” and the title track—which finds Green reuniting with his “you look like you love me” duet partner and recent tourmate Ella Langley. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Mike RyanMike Ryan is a San Antonio\, TX born singer/songwriter who has accumulated fans across the US and throughout the world with powerful\, whiskey smooth vocals and well-crafted lyrics.

SUMMARY:Roads of Ruin with Bloodless: Final Stop ft. Plague of Aces and Dank Crypt at the ZACC
DESCRIPTION:Roads of Ruin with Bloodless: Final Stop ft. Plague of Aces and Dank Crypt at Zootown Arts Community Center in Downtown Missoula 7:30 pm to 10:00 pm Sunday\n\n\n\n\n\nDoors @ 7:00 pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRoads of Ruin with Bloodless: Final Stop ft. Plague of Aces and Dank Crypt at the ZACC in Missoula Sunday at 7:00 pm.ROADS OF RUIN TOUR – MISSOULA STOPPresented by Future Artist Management \n\n\n\nThe final stop of the Roads of Ruin tour hits Missoula on Saturday\, August 24 at the ZACC. Three bands. One night. Let’s tear the roof off and close this run the way it was meant to end — loud\, heavy\, and unforgettable. \n\n\n\n BLOODLESS (Billings – heavy metal / thrash / doom)A heavy metal force born in 2023\, Bloodless blends the razor-edged intensity of thrash\, the crushing weight of doom\, and the relentless pulse of groove. Their sound is forged in contrast—fast and punishing one moment\, slow and suffocating the next—crafted for those who find meaning in the heaviness. \n\n\n\nDrawing from the chaos of early thrash and the bleakness of doom\, their riffs strike like hammers and their presence leaves no stage untouched. With lyrics that echo a world fraying at the edges\, Bloodless doesn’t just play metal—they summon it. \n\n\n\n DANK CRYPT (Havre – sludge / punk / thrash)Spawning from the harsh depths of Havre\, MT\, Dank Crypt delivers a riff-drenched mix of sludge\, punk\, thrash\, and doom. Formed in 2022 by Drew Torgerson and longtime collaborators Trever and Travis Berger\, their raw\, genre-bending sound made early waves with their track “Snow Owl Eats at Daytime”\, featured on Weedian’s “Trip to Montana”. \n\n\n\nTheir debut EP Crypt Scripture dropped on April 20\, 2024 — and it hits hard. Heavy\, chaotic\, and never afraid to slow things down and make you feel it. \n\n\n\n PLAGUE OF ACES (Great Falls – punk / rock)Gritty\, relentless\, and rooted in the DIY ethos\, Plague of Aces formed in 2023 and has been making noise across Montana ever since. Their blend of punk energy and rock-driven songwriting delivers high-octane originals that stick with you — fast\, loud\, and honest. \n\n\n\nAfter pushing through early tour setbacks\, they’re back and hungrier than ever. Their debut EP is out now\, with more music on the way — and every set is a chance to bring it harder than the last.

But these conventional measurements fall short when you’re assessing the impact of The Beach Boys. This band has birthed a torrent of hit singles and sold albums by the tens of millions. But its greater significance lies in the fact that The Beach Boys’ songs have forever changed the musical landscape\, profoundly influencing countless performing artists to follow. \n\n\n\nAt the helm of The Beach Boys is lead Singer & Critically acclaimed lyricist\,  Mike Love\, a founding member whose leadership has steered the band through decades of musical evolution. Grammy-winning songwriter Bruce Johnston joined The Beach Boys in 1965\, replacing Glenn Campbell\, who filled-in for Brian Wilson\, on vocals/bass\, when he retired from touring. Highly regarded in his field\, Johnston brought with him a wealth of experience from working with icons like Elton John and Pink Floyd\, The Byrds\, cementing his place among rock’s elite. \n\n\n\nThe current lineup\, including musical director Brian Eichenberger\, Christian Love\, Tim Bonhomme\, Jon Bolton\, Keith Hubacher\, Randy Leago\, and John Wedemeyer\, continues to honor and expand upon the band’s iconic Live performance legacy. This dedication is evident in their rigorous touring schedule\, with the band performing an average of 150 shows a year across a variety of venues worldwide. \n\n\n\nIn 2012\, The Beach Boys marked their 50th anniversary with a reunion tour and the release of “That’s Why God Made the Radio\,” which debuted at #3 on the Billboard charts\, their highest chart position in 37 years. This resurgence of interest highlighted the band’s continued relevance and their ability to resonate with both long-time fans and new listeners alike. \n\n\n\nTheir discography includes milestones like the triple platinum-certified Sounds of Summer and “The Warmth of the Sun\, which have contributed to a renewed interest in their music. Despite having numerous opportunities to retire at the height of their success\, such as after the release of the groundbreaking Pet Sounds masterpiece in 1966\, or after Mike Love’s concept album Endless Summer ignited a second generation of Beach Boys fans and stirred a tempest that rocked the music world\, or after recording Love’s co-written Golden Globe nominated “Kokomo” in 1988 and seeing it become its best-selling single ever\, or after being inducted that same year into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame\, The Beach Boys have chosen to continue touring and sharing music with the world\, a testament to their commitment to their art and fans. \n\n\n\nThe Beach Boys celebrated the 50th anniversary of the hit “Good Vibrations” – which is widely considered one of the greatest masterpieces in the history of rock and roll – in 2016 with a 50 Years of Good Vibrations tour\, underscoring the song’s status as a rock and roll masterpiece. Mike Love’s memoir\, GOOD VIBRATIONS: My Life as a Beach Boy\, further cemented their place in music history by becoming a New York Times Best Seller. \n\n\n\nRecent years have seen the release of comprehensive box sets like Feel Flows – The Sunflower and Surf’s Up Sessions 1969-1971” and Sail On Sailor – 1972\, exploring in-depth the band’s transformative periods. These collections\, featuring a plethora of previously unreleased tracks\, showcase the band’s versatility and profound influence on the music industry. \n\n\n\nIn 2023\, The Beach Boys were celebrated in the CBS tribute special “Grammy Salute to the Beach Boys\,” featuring performances by a diverse array of artists including Beck\, Brandi Carlile\, Michael McDonald\, Pentatonix\, St. Vincent\, Weezer\, Norah Jones\, John Legend\, and Mumford & Sons among others. \n\n\n\nLooking ahead\, the band is set to debut their official book\, The Beach Boys by The Beach Boys\, in April 2024 via Gensis Publications.  Published in a limited edition of only 500 copies worldwide\, the book offers an intimate look at the band’s journey from a Hawthorne garage band to international stardom\, enriched with rare photographs and historical documents. \n\n\n\nThe Beach Boys have been a significant presence at major events\, including Live Aid and the Statue of Liberty’s 100th Anniversary Salute\, showcasing their unparalleled ability to captivate audiences. Mike Love’s contributions as a songwriter\, in collaboration with Brian Wilson\, have produced timeless hits like “Surfin’\,” “Fun\, Fun\, Fun\,” and “California Girls\,” “Warmth of the Sun\,” “Good Vibrations\,”  and long list of other titles highlighting his enduring talent. \n\n\n\nContinuing to engage his fans with new and innovative projects\, in 2020 Love released the single “This Too Shall Pass”  featuring John Stamos aimed at offering hope during the Covid-19 pandemic. In 2019\, he released “12 Sides of Summer\,” featuring a mix of original songs\, covers\, and new versions of Beach Boys hits including “Surfin\,” “Surfin’ Safari” and “It’s Ok\,” featuring Hanson. The song marked Love’s second recording with Hanson\, after previously collaborating on “Finally it’s Christmas” for Love’s 2018 holiday album\, Reason For The Season\, which also features vocals from Love’s children: Ambha\, Brian\, Christian\, and Hayleigh Love. In 2017\, Love released a special double album entitled Unleash the Love featuring 13 previously unreleased songs and 14 re-recordings of Beach Boys classics to positive acclaim. \n\n\n\nMike Love’s philanthropy extends his influence far beyond the musical stage\, demonstrating a deep commitment to giving back to the community.  A Grammy® winner and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member\, Love has been at the forefront of numerous charitable efforts\, using his platform to support a wide range of causes. In 1990\, he responded to President George H. W. Bush’s call for service by founding StarServe\, an initiative aimed at motivating young people towards community service\, showcasing his early commitment to philanthropy. His philanthropic efforts were recognized when he and his wife Jacquelyne received the prestigious Points of Light Award\, highlighting his significant contributions to volunteer service and impacting lives across the globe. Through the Love Foundation\, Mike has supported initiatives focusing on education\, health\, environmental conservation\, and disaster relief\, showcasing a legacy of compassion and service alongside his storied musical career.
