Ultraversary Artist Spotlight: Oko Tygra

Friday night we will be graced by the lovely Oko Tygra. The dream-wave pop outfit have long been favorites of of ours for awhile and we are excited to have them join us in the festivities this year. Hand selected by us, this show is sure to be stellar. Join us, tickets on sale now.

Denver's OKO TYGRA is the dark and dreamy creation of intrepid Songwriter, Joshua Novak. After suffering an accident that left him with a life threatening head injury, Novak realized something had to change. Thus, OKO TYGRA came out of the rubble drawing inspiration from their affection for Slowdive and Cocteau Twins. In 2015, they released their Glass Jaw/Plasticine 7" on EggHunt Records. With those recordings, they received media praise from the likes of Impose Magazine, My Old Kentucky Blog, IHEARTCOMIX as well as charting on numerous radio stations like KEXP in Seattle. They have played SXSW, UMS in Denver and were accepted into CMJ in New York in 2014 & 2015, making them the only band to represent Denver in the 2014 showcase.

Most recently, the band was signed with LA based label, GREY MARKET, and were accepted into Treefort Music Fest in Boise (March 22-26). They are currently working on a full length with producer, Jorge Elbrecht (Ariel Pink, Tamaryn, Violens).

Ultraversary 7 Artist Spotlight: Yasi

We start our Ultraversary artist spotlight with one of our favorites this week. Yasi has slowly and quietly been making a name for herself here in Denver within the last year. Fresh off a EP that had us swooning, we are fortunate to have her performing for us during our three night celebration. Combining beauty and an incredible stage presence it won't be long before Yasi is making her mark in the world as a solo artist. Get your chance to check her out Friday, April 28th at Globe Hall, tickets available at Ultra5280.

As a treat she decided to drop a new track today for your listening pleasure. The track is a club bouncer with an ode to the Black Mamba himself check out "Knock Knock" below.
