Denver-based alternative four-piece Hoverfly combines soulful vocals, swaggering guitar and a driving rhythm section into a sound that conjures the rock dynamism of the likes of Muse, Audioslave and the Killers. Formed during the pandemic of 2020 by cousins Chris Golias (guitar) and Tony Strayer (drums), Hoverfly found their out-of-this world sound when Carl Mease (bass) and Andy Rimer (vocals) joined for the ride. What resulted was a unique blend of raw emotion, trippy lyrical themes, unrelenting musicality and high energy performance.

Cherokee Social frontman Julian Navarro took a huge chance and moved from Baltimore to Denver a few years back. Selling his old studio to migrate here and be a part of the Denver scene, he risked everything. In a short amount of time he became one of the most well known indigenous acts in the mile high city and became the first artist signed to Greg Ziemba and Thadeaous Mighell’s new Label Unit E Records. Soon after being signed he picked up local concert promoter and musician Alex Creighton to play guitar alongside him in the project.

“There’s an imposter/singing/in the choir in my head. And I was waiting/for you to notice/that I have not been my best. And I needed your kindness.” Full of bittersweet lyrics and twinkling guitars, “Ghostwrite Your Alibi”, the newest release from the Denver-based Animal Electricity, finds singer Chris Carrington and company exploring disillusionment, hopefulness, and the passage of time with grace and style.
