Throwin’ Bo’s & KEXP present:
Casino Hearts
Based in Los Angeles, Casino Hearts are Forrest Holter, Nick Minor, and Jacob Rubeck. Rubeck and Minor originally formed the band in Reno in 2013 releasing a number of albums and becoming a staple of the local music scene. When Rubeck moved to Los Angeles, the band went on an indefinite hiatus with hopes to someday make music together again. In 2021, Minor moved to Los Angeles and the two members recruited Holter who would add a pop and electronic sensibility to the band’s indie rock sound ushering the band into a new era. Influenced by the likes of My Bloody Valentine, Björk, Broadcast and Cocteau Twins, Casino Hearts debut EP, Lose Your Halo, is a sonic quilt of dream pop, distorted guitars and trance-like beats anchored by Holter’s ethereal gossamer voice. The band will release their second EP, ‘A Walk in The Grass’ in early March. It’s safe to say Casino Hearts have found their final form.
Nowandformerly
Nowandformerly is an experimental songwriter born and raised in the Central Valley, now sleeping in San Francisco. He creates warm, melodic, hazy rhythmic textures with extended bits of ambience & noise, using a few loop pedals, guitars and anything he can get his hands on rhythmically. Enjoy the ride.
Badvril
San Francisco based, Badvril, is derived directly from dichotomy. From creating contrast both sonically and aesthetically, the band seeks to generate a persona that is true to the creator, lead singer, and lead guitarist, Becket Schroeder.
Badvril pulls influence from rural upbringings representing their diy spirit while also drawing from city elements in their visual storytelling. Additionally, the band attempts to layer soft hazy vocals with jarring instrumentals to further their juxtaposing ideals.
