THE CLOAK OX
The Cloak Ox is made of four staunch music-making Midwestern men. They are Andrew Broder, Jeremy Ylvisaker, Mark Erickson and Martin Dosh and their names may be familiar. Of course, they may not be. They hail from Minneapolis, MN, and have been friends for many years, playing a lota lotof music together and apart. They have started bands, quit bands, restarted bands, played in others' bands, inspired other people's bands that became very successful, and even sometimes joined those bands after the fact. Suffice it to say, they have played damn near every kind of music there is to play. But with the Cloak Ox, these four return to rock and roll, and they play it very, very well. Sometimes it's loud and sometimes it's quiet. Sometimes it's funky and sometimes it's gentle. Sometimes they spazz the fuck out and sometimes they boogie. Andrew's words can be sad or funny, surreal or mundane, tender or venomous. And it's the combination of all of those things that makes the band's debut EP, Prisen, something to marvel ata modern testament to human ingenuity and American workmanship proudly no more nor less than sum of its finely tuned parts. In their past lives, combos and collaborations, the members of the Cloak Ox have been lauded and dismissed. They have succeeded and failed. They have been respected and completely forgotten. Their story is a lot like your story, and you are the best rock and roll band in the world.
ALL TOMORROW'S PETTY
All Tomorrow's Petty is not a "tribute" band, per se. It is a (part of a) night that you spend with your friends in (or near) a bar or some other celebratory site/occasion. While you're there, you hear a bunch of songs written by Tom Petty and played by homeboys/girls who enjoy playing them together. If you already like Tom Petty's songs, you're happy to hear them rendered in a mostly recognizable fashion. If you are deluded into thinking you don't know or like any Petty songs, you are forced to confront this wrongheaded notion. You might drink, you might not. You might sing, you might not. You will most likely discover something about yourself or your friends that you were not previously aware of it could be a small thing, but small things are still things. You will absolutely hear electric guitar, which is widely (if not officially) recognized as the national musical instrument of the United States of America. Assuming you and your friends live in these same United States, this element will make you feel at ease and all the more able to enjoy the invaluable company of your friends. You will not hear the lyrics to "Free Fallin'" (sorry). Your actual lifespan on the planet will be extended by a minimum of four hours, perhaps more if you choose to sing.
COMMON QUESTIONS:
Do you guys play private parties/events?
It has been known to happen, yes.

Everyone is encouraged to wear whatever the hell they want and to kiss somebody full on the mouth at least once at some point during the set. That somebody could be a spouse or a bartender or your own self. Above all, anybody is welcome to become a member of All Tomorrow's Petty, subject to a cost-free, mutually respectful, non-invasive screening process. Questions may be volleyed by any and all means with the eternal promise of a sincere (if not always prompt) answer. For reasons both legal and metaphysical, there will never be an All Tomorrows Petty album but you can hear its members playing their own music with Minneapolis ensembles such as Halloween, Alaska, Haley Bonar, Alpha Consumer, Robert Skoro, The Pines, Grammas Boyfriend, Fat Kid Wednesdays, Ginkgo, Taggart & Rosewood, and a host of others.
