Another fantastic lineup for the magnificent Rialto Theatre in Kenmore, Ohio. CoSW and The Baker's Basement will be supporting Cleveland's headliners Duo Decibel System (DDS) featuring guitarist/vocalist Miss Melvis, and drummer, John Scully.

By cross-pollinating musical camps, Duo Decibel System have fused styles that invoke bluesy punk rock, electronic ambience, jazz and pure Indie pop. They are regular guests on Mike Watt’s (fIREHOSE, Minutemen) Watt From Pedro Show, a musical podcast that he hosts from San Pedro, CA., and are regulars at several NYC venues.

Church of Starry Wisdom (CoSW) is an ensemble of musical griots from outside time and space, originating from the planet Akron. Their beginnings explored H.P. Lovecraft's mythos and poetry, but quickly expanded into deeper song-craft emphasizing storytelling through sacred and profane modern parables, murder ballads, and fever dreams. The band members' diverse backgrounds shape their eclectic genre-bending music, conducting experiments in pop & soul through a retro-future, weird-rock operatic lens. During their live theatrical ceremonies, they sometimes cast trance-inducing video projections in a ritual of audio-visual synergy.

Cleveland indie folk-hop duo the Baker’s Basement paints songs both whimsical and playful. With a sound built using their interwoven voices, colorful lyricism, funky guitar, and a homemade bucket drum kit, the duo invites you into a world of glue and paint; laughter & heartbreak; and vast landscapes traveled by an assortment of curious creatures.
