VICODA, pronounced similarly to Dakota, is an anagram of the abbreviations for Virginia, Idaho and Colorado. The band formed when the five members found themselves in Colorado in early 2017. With a penchant for electric performance, the band combines Bhatt's powerful yet sultry vocals with T. Hougardy's funky riffs and Palmer's atmospheric solos. Together with Combs's and D. Hougardy's driving rhythm section, the band is a promising addition to the Denver music scene - where it hopes to anchor roots for many years to come. 

The band has an intricate history, beginning when Shivani Bhatt (lead vocals) met Chris Palmer (lead guitar) in their Virginia high school. The two bonded over performances at school concerts and fundraisers, and continued to play together in college. It was then that the pair befriended drummer Jon Combs; after Combs shot a mini-documentary for their band, he later joined Bhatt in another Virginia musical venture. Meanwhile, across the country, Idaho brothers Trevor Hougardy (lead guitar) and Devin Hougardy (bass guitar) played together growing up, swapping guitars and classic rock repertoire. After going separate ways with musical ventures in Chicago and Minneapolis, T. Hougardy and Palmer met via the Chicago music scene when T. Hougardy's band needed a new guitarist. A few years later, T. Hougardy moved to Denver, where D. Hougardy was residing - and with the addition of Palmer, Combs and Bhatt, VICODA formed to pay homage to its roots - both old and new.

All Chiefs is an independent band formed in 2013 in Colorado. The founding members Nick Story (Formerly of Painted by Numbers) & Justen Howard (formerly of UK indie darlings "Empire of Lights") were brought together by an internet add titled "Wanted: Epic Rock Band Hell Bent on World Domination". neither joined that band. The two instead went on to recruit Mic Carroll, Ben Batchelor (two members of the legendary boulder band "Tommy & The Tangerines"), and veteran Detroit rocker Connor "Danger" Brown to form a decidedly more dynamic project that would do anything from wall of sound to quiet hum, from dance to drone and everything in between.

In an effort to establish a little street cred, and introduce themselves to the world the band independently released their debut single "The Wave" in 2013. The effort was a success receiving fantastic reviews and turning up the buzz factor around this Colorado quintet.

In 2014. After taking the time to hone in on the sound All Chiefs were looking for. The band released their Highly Anticipated EP Titled "The Danger Mission EP" this release established them as a sonic forced to be reckoned with. The Danger Mission incorporates the best parts of indie rock, classic and modern dance, and atmospheric noise. with enough pop sensibility to win over listeners of all types.

For All Chiefs 2015 was About shows shows shows. The band took to the streets solidifying their live performance prowess. Playing with bands like the Mowglis, and Fitz and the Tantrums. Leaving it all on the stage at festivals, clubs, and in basements all over. In late 2015 All Chiefs parted ways with their original guitarist, and brought on performer, song writer, and secret weapon Zack Dare. With the help of a successful Kickstarter campaign band also began recording their second EP "Fashion Forward" to be released in spring of 2016.

This band oozes Hypnotic guitars riffs, moving bass lines, earthshaking drums, lush synths, plenty of beeps, boops, and digital sprinkles. All lovingly stitched together with bittersweet hook laden vocal melodies. Some call it indie rock. some say alternative dance pop. In the end you should listen & decide for yourself. Because we are All Chiefs.

Left Hand Shakes is an alternative rock band based out of Denver, CO that specializes in earnest, stirring lyrics under the guise of danceable hooks and singable melodies.
