SOUNDCHECK: Ticktockman0
Posted by - In Music, SOUNDCHECK
Above is Ticktockman, a 5-piece alternative rock band based in Seattle. It was created by guitarist/vocalist Ryan Van Wieringen (of Gatsbys American Dream and Wild Orchid Children) and keys/guitarist Andy Lum (also of Wild Orchid Children) in 2009. During that time, the two of them recorded 5 songs, for their “Periscope” EP, with producer Casey Bates (of Gatsbys American Dream and One Point Two).
When 2010 unfolded, they added members Morgan Bruner on guitar, Brock Lowry on drums, and Phil Sells on bass. And there you have the rockers of Ticktockman. And, on February 14th, they’ll be releasing their 11-song, self-titled album (produced by Derek Moree).
On June 20th, they performed at the Red Room Studios in Fremont, WA. Below you’ll see video footage of them performing their song “Blackhole Waltz”, which was my initial introduction to the band, as well as “Scavenger! Move Along!” and “The Architect”. The raw, bluesy guitar riffs and fiery drum-playing, mixed with Ryan’s buttery vocals… had me pressin’ replay over and over. All three of these songs will be on “Ticktockman“. This isn’t one of those rock bands that you want to pass up.
All 3 of the songs above, of their “Live at the Red Room” performance, can be downloaded for FREE at their Bandcamp page. So get that!
Now, when February 14th comes along, make sure you check back at their Bandcamp page for the album! Maybe you should just bookmark that page, just incase.
