It's all about the message. Music can change the world.

PLAIN AS GHOSTS draws on deep, personal experiences derived through love, loss and life. The intimate lyrics spark an outlook of hope and integrity which comes as a refreshing take on a genre typically fuelled by anger and aggression. The music is described as heavy and lyrically directed with hints of melodic ambience.

Comprised of Trevor Lux (vocals/guitar), Adam Halstrom (bass/vocals), Daniel Friesen (guitar/vocals) and Rodrigo Ramirez (drums), the band formed in the fall of 2014 and is based out of Winnipeg, Manitoba. They rehearse from Trevor's home in Niverville - a rural community 30 km south of Winnipeg.

RENDERING is the band's self-produced debut album, hitting ears on May 27, 2016. The title "rendering" refers to the idea of creating or performing something as a means of processing emotion. Lead track "Monday Morning Quarterback" is a dynamic rock-alternative anthem about the simple act of passing judgement from a position of hindsight.

This prairie rock band draws upon many combined years of stage and studio experience. As such, PLAIN AS GHOSTS is excited to bring a dynamic, high energy performance to the stage with a dash of down to earth charm!

Starting from early music inspiration, Art Zimmer (vocals/guitar) and Chris Zimmer (vocals/bass) grew up around live music. Their father A.D. Zimmer is a 30 year master of the bass guitar, playing with bands such as Immaculate Mary and currently playing in the Lou Gramm Band. Whether it’s a live show or a flat bass line from the basement, it was easy to find inspiration from their father. At the age of 16 Chris and Art started a band called 16-Bit, a three piece punk rock band. 16-bit lasted two and a half years and fell apart due to conflicting ideas. 

A year or so went by and the brothers couldn't go without writing and preforming their music.
They got back together with the drummer from 16-Bit and started a band called What It’s Worth. Their drummer dropped out after six months and the search for a new drummer began. Art and Chris soon found Kyle Craw (drums) and started practicing again. They played 30 or so shows and received over 100,000 views on Myspace.com. The band broke up due to challenges in life.

Two years went by and it would seem that their song writing days were over. But, as the saying goes, “once a musician, always a musician”. The creative bug bit Art one day and he started trolling craigslist.org for bands. He contacted Steve Mackin (guitar) and set up a jam session. It was “guitarist at first sight”! At that time, it was just Art and Steve with two guitars and a drummer that was a little off base from what they were looking for. Steve and Art set out to find a drummer that fit the part. While in the search process, Art called his brother Chris. Chris picked up the bass and started writing again. This new band started creating some of the brother’s best music yet.

The band shuffled through a few different drummers before landing with Anthony Raymond (drums). Soon after, the band Mulu Lizi was formed! Mulu Lizi (pronounced Moo-Lou Lizzy) is the name of a star in the constellaion Libra and means “Man of fire”. Although the band was happy with the music they were creating, something was off. After 6 months, life issues came up and they had to part ways with Anthony. It had been about three years since Art last talked with Kyle Craw, but he figured he would give him a call. Kyle showed up to practice and they soon realized they had found the missing piece. In January, 2013 Mulu Lizi became complete!

In 2013, Mulu Lizi began writing what would later become the “Men of Fire” EP. The first track written was “Walking the Line” and it was initially released as a single. The band later released it as their first music video in April, 2014. Their second music video was released in September, 2014 for “Baby Doll”. Both songs were recorded and produced with sound engineer Brian Moore at RedBooth Studios in Rochester, NY. Together, the songs have over 7,000 views on Youtube! Once Mulu Lizi realized the quality of the production, they came back to Brian Moore with the final three songs of the “Men of Fire” EP. The EP was finally completed in April, 2015 after many months of writing, gigging, and recording.

Mulu Lizi has a large social media presence between Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Youtube. In early 2014, the band won a local Homegrown Music Showcase and has since been interviewed and featured in numerous publications. You can also hear Mulu Lizi on many radio stations, both domestic and international. Now Mulu Lizi is writing new music and playing out in support of the latest release. Shows are being lined up for cities all over the Northeast and Midwest United States and in lower Canada!

The girls of Spinn have always been firm believers that there’s not much in life that can’t be fixed with great music, good friends, and a few shots of tequila. And whether it’s their beautiful blend of three part harmonies, vibrant stage presence, or infectious personalities, it’s no wonder their attitude helped them receive notoriety around the Jersey music scene and beyond.
 
Forming in 2006, they began playing shows at legendary Asbury Park venues such as The Saint and Fastlane, and soon spread their music across the Hudson River in NYC with a wave of performances at Kenny’s Castaway’s, The Delancy, Ella Lounge, Tammany Hall, and the National Underground. After gaining monentum over the next several years, Spinn went on to record their debut album “She Was Heartache” in 2009 with a rhythm section that included guitarist Steve DeSteno and drummer Dominick Velardo. This lead to a successful college radio promotion campaign and even a feature on NJ Radio station’s WDHA 105.5 FM on Lindsay Klein’s Homegrown Spotlight.
 
Their release of the 2009 EP “She was Heartache” brought the band to new heights around the US, eventually landing then in Hartford, CT at the Webster and a slot at Peabody’s Inn for the Cleveland Music Festival. Spinn went on to release their most recent album “A Little Crazy” in July 2012 and have moved from playing smaller clubs to bigger venues such as Rockwood Music Hall, Arlene’s Grocery, and the Bitter End.
 
Reminiscent of the Dixie chicks, the Gin Blossoms and the acoustic-laden styling of Ray Lamontagne, their unique melody lines grab audiences’ attention immediately and their ability to blend different genres always proves to entertain and inspire. Spinn considers their friends and fans a part of an extended family and wishes to share their feel-good atmosphere with honest lyrics and a style of songwriting that is sure to pull you in from the moment the music starts.

Aye, Lions! My NEW #MakeThatMoveEP is finally released!
