SLOW PHASE is a “badass power trio explosion!” - Dave Pehling, Bay Area music scribe

It was only after having spent 3 years woodshedding James Gang, KISS, Mountain, Zeppelin, Zappa, Grand Funk and the like, that the band decided to go "original" and christened themselves SLOW PHASE, after the most righteous setting on the 1971 Maestro Phase Shifter.

The trio is powered by drum wizard Richard Stuverud, known for his work with Pearl Jam’s Jeff Ament (RNDM, Tres Mountains, Three Fish) and many more well-loved bands (Fastbacks, 3rd Ear Experience, Tribe After Tribe, among others). Stuverud started out in the Seattle music scene of the 80s-90s where he developed his wildly dynamic style that sounds like a molotov cocktail composed of Keith Moon, Bonham, Mitch Mitchell and Bill Ward.

Stuverud shares lead vocal duties and harmonies with bassist Anthony Pulsipher. Pulsipher is known around the Bay Area music scene as songwriter-vocalist-guitarist for art-damaged country rockers Spidermeow. Guitarist Dmitri Mavra is the founder and songwriter behind retro cult favorites SKUNK.

GILL BROTHERS

Gill Brothers Band offers a heartfelt synthesis and interpretation of American country, rock, and blues stylings. Brothers Jacob and Connor Gill share lead vocal and guitar duties to create a dialectically delicious plate of melody, groove, and storytelling. Drawing influence from 70's rock and roll, Gill Brothers Band's music strikes at the hard-rocking side of country, playing their guitars like they mean it.

"Northern California's Collisionville fuses a loud, post-punk sound with down-home Americana to create sardonically sincere songs that are well put together and streaked with the humor that eludes more self-serious bands."
