Indie 102.3 Presents
Wheelchair Sports Camp Denver's biggest smallest band. Combining humor, playfulness, middle fingers, and an undeniable love for the groove, Wheelchair Sports Camp is certainly not your average hip-hop act. Fronted by Kalyn Rose Heffernan - a wheelchair using, profanely queer and tiny rapper, with a very distinctly high pitched sense of humor. Backed by her gimp Greggy on drums, the band combines beats with shredding face live. Playing shows in every place they could, the band has since stretched into performance art, museum takeovers, politics, prison tours, permanent installations, theatre, film, and who knows what's next.… The duo designed, built, and curated the Wheelchair Space Kitchen installation at Meow Wolf Denver's Convergence station. You can find the music from their room in the Gift Shop on a double 7" vinyl record.
Jello Biafra Jello Biafra is a musician, spoken word artist, and the former lead singer and songwriter for the San Francisco punk rock band Dead Kennedys. After he left the Dead Kennedys, he took over the influential independent record label Alternative Tentacles that he co-founded in 1979. Known for signing bands that no other label would touch, Jello signed Wheelchair Sports Camp and their new album "oh imperfecta" will be released on Alternative Tentacles May 15. The record was designed by the legendary Winston Smith who is the artist behind the Dead Kennedy's logo, the Alternative Tentacles logo, and so many of your favorite album covers.
Dressy Bessy Dressy Bessy are an indie rock band formed in Denver, Colorado in 1997 by songwriter, vocalist, guitarist, and producer Tammy Ealom. The band is associated with The Elephant 6 Recording Co (Neutral Milk Hotel, Olivia Tremor Control, The Apples in stereo). They have toured the USA as well as Canada, Europe, and Japan since the late 1990's. Their most recent releases are KINGSIZED (2016) and Fast Faster Disaster (2019). The band has shared the stage and in some cases the studio with Peter Buck (REM), Mike Mills (REM), Scott McCaughey (Young Fresh Fellows), Steve Wynn (The Dream Syndicate), The Apples in stereo, Filthy Friends, Death Cab For Cutie, The Decemberists, Bright Eyes, Potty Mouth, amongst many others. Dressy Bessy also has had song placements in many television and motion pictures, including But I’m a Cheerleader (2000), Grey's Anatomy (2003-2012), Californication (2014), The Powerpuff Girls, and many others.
BRŪHA Formed in 2022, the band features lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Fabian Guerrero, his brother Nicolas Guerrero on drums, their cousin Maxim Guerrero on lead guitar, and close friend Christian Olsen on bass. Their music blends indie rock grit with Mexican guitar influences, as well as ‘60’s psychedelia and jazz, creating a unique and dynamic style filled with an appreciation for the past and admiration for the future. Their aggressively DIY approach is a signifier of both their authenticity, and their drive to express their unique identities through music.
