Returning to the stage for the first time in eight years, Rogue Wave will perform Descended Like Vultures to celebrate the re-release by Sub Pop in March.
Rogue Wave
Over the decade and a half that Rogue Wave has made music, Zach Rogue has continued to expand his band’s emotional spectrum. Drawing inspiration from the inevitable delusions of everyday American life, Rogue, his longtime bandmate Pat Spurgeon, and their fellow members have returned reinvigorated, and with a fresh sound founded on the art of patience, the fearlessness of experimenting, and the unbridled joy of creating something meaningful to help us navigate through these vacant times. Trusting in its own abilities and leaning on each other, Rogue Wave has seized creative control of its identity and sound and is set to smash any preconceptions of its music, revealing the most truthful, powerful, and urgent sonic blueprint of the band to date.
Caleb Nichols first gained recognition as a musician in the early 2000s, playing bass in indie rock band Grand Lake and lending his talents to projects like Port O’Brien and Release the Sunbird. His solo work, however, has cemented his reputation as a singular voice in indie folk and power pop. His 2022 album Ramon, released via Kill Rock Stars, is a lush, Beatlesque concept record that explores queerness, longing, and self-discovery, drawing critical acclaim for its intricate melodies and literary depth. His 2023 Follow-up, the Rogue Wave-produced Let's Look Back, found Nichols exploring new sonic territory, pushing past earlier influences and demonstrating Nichols' versatility as a songwriter and singer.
