BIO:
Produced by The Front Bottoms and Nick Furlong at studios in London, Texas, California, New Jersey, and Connecticut, GOING GREY will be available for pre-order beginning Friday, September 8 th. The New Jersey-based band has also set an epic U.S. headline tour with special guest Basement and Bad Bad Hats. GOING GREY finds The Front Bottoms embracing the impermanence of life and finding flexibility in the face of change. Having relocated band headquarters to the coastal New Jersey community of Asbury Park during the demoing stages of the album, GOING GREY sees the band acknowledging the nostalgia of simpler times with admiration, while welcoming the inevitable unknowns of life.
Comprised of guitarist/vocalist Brian Sella and drummer Mathew Uychich, the New Jersey-based band made their Fueled By Ramen debut with 2015’s acclaimed studio album, BACK ON TOP. Hailed by NPR’s All Songs Considered host Bob Boilen as “one of the absolute ten best American bands in a live situation,” The Front Bottoms celebrated BACK ON TOP with nearly non-stop touring, including sold out headline runs and widely applauded sets at such American festies as Lollapalooza, ACL Music Festival, Panorama, Boston Calling, Shaky Knees, and Coachella. In addition, The Front Bottoms made a number of high profile TV appearances, among them NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers.

 PromoWest Productions, Miller Lite, and CD102.5 Presents White Reaper w/ Post Animal

WHERE: A&R Music Bar – Columbus, Ohio
DOORS: 7:00pm
COST: $12.00 Advance/$14.00 Day of Show
ON-SALE: August 25
BIO:
The raucous rock & roll group White Reaper formed in Louisville, Kentucky, and in the early stage of their existence sprinkled liberal amounts of bubblegum hooks and psychedelic weirdness over their short, energetic garage punk songs. Formed by singer/guitarist Tony Esposito and twin brothers Nick and Sam Wilkerson (drums and bass, respectively) while they were still teens, the group released its first single in 2013 (“Conspirator”/”The Cut”). The band’s energy and songs soon caught the ear of Polyvinyl Records, which signed White Reaper and released their self-titled, six-song EP in June of 2014. Just before its release, and with the addition of Ryan Hater on keys, the band headed out on a long tour with Young Widows. Along the way they began working on material for an album, which they started with engineer Kevin Ratterman when they got home to Louisville. Recorded over the course of one breathless week, White Reaper Does It Again was released by Polyvinyl in the summer of 2015. The next time they hit the studio, they worked with Ratterman again, but this time added a healthy dose of arena rock guitar, ’80 rock swagger, and more keys to their sound. The resulting album, The World’s Best American Band, was released by Polyvinyl in early 2017.

PromoWest Productions and Miller Lite Presents Otherwise
WHEN: October 12, 2017
WHERE: The Basement – Columbus, Ohio
DOORS: 6:30pm
COST: $13.00 Advance/$15.00 Day of Show
ON-SALE: August 25
BIO:
Heralded in their early days by Fox News as one of the best unsigned bands in the country after their debut single, “Soldiers,” sold over 10,000 copies digitally, Otherwise were out to live their rock & roll dreams with a blend of plaintive post-grunge and driving hard rock. Formed by brothers Adrian Patrick (vocals) and Ryan Patrick (guitar), and backed up by guitarist Vassilios Metropoulos, bassist Flavio Ivan, and drummer Corky Gainsford, the five-piece rock outfit has an emotional, hard-hitting sound that attempts to knock listeners over with soaring vocals and huge guitars. After seeing a rapid rise based on their first single, Otherwise signed on with Century Media, who had been watching them for a while. Making the switch from “best unsigned band” to “newly signed band,” the group released its debut full-length, True Love Never Dies, in 2012. They followed up with Peace at All Costs in 2014.

PromoWest Productions and Miller Lite Presents SonReal

BIO:
Flanked by a squad of quirky characters unafraid to rock bowl cuts and mustaches, spitting bars like nobody’s business, and melting hearts left and right, SonReal would be just as at home in a Wes Anderson or Farrelly Brothers movie as he is behind a mic. Hip-hop has never seen a maestro quite like the Canadian-born rapper, singer, and songwriter. That’s why he’s already earned multiple Canadian Juno Award nominations including “Rap Recording of the Year” for Everywhere We Go in 2014, racked up millions of Spotify streams and YouTube views, and packed shows all over the continent. However, his story begins in the town of Vernon. Following high school, SonReal spent his days working as a carpenter and his nights writing and recording countless songs at home. Quietly and diligently honing his skills, he released a series of buzzing mixtapes beginning with Where’s Waldo in 2011 and followed by Words I Said and Good News just a year later. Hailing from Canada meant he had to grind twice as hard to be heard globally.
After completing a North American tour, and signing to Capitol Records, SonReal began work on his debut international release, One Long Dream. The first release from the project Can I Get A Witnesswas an instant success, achieving platinum status in Canada and entering the top 15 at pop radio. SonReal further promoted the single by jumping on the road as direct support for Jon Bellion’s sold out Human Condition tour, and then his own North American headlining No Warm Up Tour.
