Virgin Mary Pistol Grip is an Omaha-based alt-rock band that blends raw indie energy with heartfelt melodies. Their sound channels the spirit of 90s rock while embracing modern pop sensibilities. VMPG’s live shows carry an electric sense of honesty and connection, turning performances into a shared emotional experience between the band and the audience.

Their new single “Dragonfly,” featuring Ryan Delahoussaye of Blue October on strings, produced by Bob Marlette and mastered by Paul Logus, releases on November 7, 2025. It follows their acclaimed full-length album ‘Where Time Went’ (2024) — also produced by Marlette and mastered by Logus — which earned an ‘Album of the Year’ nomination from the Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards (OEAA).

They’ve performed alongside The Wallflowers, Black Pistol Fire, and Shooter Jennings, and appeared at regional festivals including Junkstock and Omaha Summer Arts Festival, as well as Baffin Records Showcase in Washington, D.C. In 2024, the band joined Good Life Records, a local independent label uniting artists through creativity, community, and collaboration.

In high school (Jason) was in punk bands, and I was just a little kid.  I even wrote some stuff – one of my first songs for them was when I was six.” – [Ben Baker excerpt from Norfolk Daily News Article Feb 2016]

Cross Neil Young and Nirvana with synths and 808’s and you have yourself, Baker Explosion.  A family band from Nebraska.  Two Brothers (Ben and Jason), with Jason’s son Isaiah on keys and synths and Felipe Gardea on Bass, along with David Chamberlain as their drummer, they all came to Baker Explosion with serious musical chops. Jason is an experienced alto sax player, multi-instrumentalist. Ben’s guitar playing has audiences thrilled, yet, he also sings, plays piano, and banjo as well. Isaiah started his tenure as the bands drummer but has moved to keys, synths and vocals with the addition of David, who has played in several touring bands throughout his life, and Felipe who is currently attending Berkley University in Boston Mass.
 
Both Brothers have spent their lifetimes writing songs.  Mostly being heard only by a handful of friends and family, but in 2016 they had the opportunity of playing a slot on Hear Nebraska’s Good Living Tour, along with doing a set during their hometowns 4th of July celebration with thousands in attendance, broadening their audience, and pushing them to continue writing and recording music.
The Band is poised to release several sets of new singles in 2018.  
In 2015 the band independently released their Debut album “Down In The Cornroots” A record of original songs written across a span of several years, representing different parts of each of the brothers separate lives, that came together as a strong foundation for the band.  They have released three music videos for the album “Day After Yesterday” “All I Know” and “Cornroots” The Videos keep a not too serious tone that makes them fun to watch.
