Interview with Travis Paparoski from FiKus; Playing Catskill Chill
Electo-Funkadelic-Hip-Rock. Ok, I can get into that! River Vale, NJ’s Fikus is the official host band for all of the official Catskill Chill pre-parties for 2012, and that’s no short order to fill, so expect a wild time if you get to check them out. The 5 piece’s meshing of acoustic and electronic instrumentation in their songs exemplifies a strong desire to forge a bond between the two mediums, and their performances take fans on a wild ride full of energy and sonic bursts.
Zoogma Interview with Ryan Nall; Playing Catskill Chill
Oxford, Mississippi 4-piece Zoogma are hitting it very hard right now. What the fuck is a Zoogma, you ask? I couldn’t tell you, but they appear to be taking the wildly popular live-electronic music scene by storm. Offering a blend of rock, electronic, and hip hop, each member of the group incorporates both acoustic and sequenced instruments to deliver highly energetic sets. Not afraid to improvise, the group boasts of a strong ability to jam over their detailed beats, too.
Dopapod Interview with Neal “Fro” Evans; Playing Catskill Chill
Talk about a band that has its name come up everywhere lately! Dopapod do not appear to be holding anything back in recent months, and their tenacity and dedication appears to be paying off very well. The 4-piece group has logged many miles and performed at some of the best festivals the US has to offer, including Bonnaroo, Burning Man, Camp Bisco, and many, many more. It only makes sense that that’d also be one of the highlights of this year’s Catskill Chill fest, taking place from September 7-9 in Hancock, NY. Check out the insane lineup for that below! And not a group to slow down (ever), if you can’t make the Chill this year, they’ll also be coming to Ithaca, NY on December 1st, courtesy of their bad selves and Dan Smalls Presents!
