The Very MostThe Very Most is an indie-pop band from Boise, Idaho founded by Jeremy Jensen in 2002. Like almost every band, they exist both live and on record. But for the Very Most, the process of recording happens over years, as Jeremy, with an assembled cast of talented friends, carefully constructs layers upon layers of guitar, bass, drums, strings, percussion, woodwinds, synths, vocals and sound effects in a backyard studio. They’ve gone through many personnel changes and formats, but currently they’re a five piece, with Zach Von House on bass and vocals, Jake Hite on drums, Gia Trotter playing keyboards and vocals, and Clint Vickery on guitar, keyboards, and percussion. They take their show on the road in small doses, playing shows in Portland, Spokane, Salt Lake City and various points in between. They’ve also played shows with such bands as the Halo-Benders, The Microphones, and Thanksgiving. Their music is dense, catchy, and has a decidedly un-hip, yet slightly off-kilter, lyrical viewpoint. It’s kind of a like being the only adult at a little kids’ dance party where you get to choose the music, but the kids make you spin them around until everyone’s really dizzy. Influences include Beach Boys, Built to Spill, Smiths, and Belle and Sebastian. Congratulations Forever is the second record by The Very Most, and expands greatly on the previous album, Making the Case For Me. Congratulations Forever is released by Coming in Second records in the US and Universal Records in the Philippines. In 2009, they embarked on an ambitious recording project: “A Year With The Very Most”, where they will be recording an EP every three months. These EPs will be themed after the seasons of the year. This project is being released by Indiecater Records in Dublin, Ireland.

Sleepy SeedsSleepy Seeds is a sensitive, melodic, Boise indie rock band. Joey Corsentino and Marty Martin started playing music together in the early 1990′s, in Pueblo, Colorado. In 2009, after several years of toiling, they moved to Boise in search of a legitimate music scene. They soon convinced the legendary Chad Keever to move to Boise as their drummer, and then the locally notorious Will Gillett joined the band to expand the sound. In 2010 Sleepy Seeds played many shows in and around the Boise area. In 2011 they traveled to Portland for a show before embarking on a self-imposed indefinite hiatus. Highlights include headlining the John Denver Tribute Show at Visual Arts Collective, opening for Wye Oak at Flying M CoffeeGarage, and playing at RANCHFEST 2010 and RANCHFEST 2011. You can catch the four-piece Sleepy Seeds performing on a somewhat regular basis around Boise: Booking: |
