Disco Risque/The Barons - Tinsel & Trouble

Disco Risqué, known affectionately amongst their fans as “DR,” was formed in 2014 by longtime friends Charlie Murchie (lead guitar) and Robert Prescott (drums & vocals).  In subsequent years Ryan Calonder (trumpet, rhythm guitar, lead vocals) Andrew Hollifield (bass) and Sean Hodge (keys) were added to the lineup yielding what is now a full fledged high energy progressive pop/funk/rock band whose aggressive riffs, danceable beats and catchy lyrics can take any listener to a sonic party in their minds. 

The Barons is a US alternative band comprised of lead singer and guitarist Peyton Alley, drummer Mathes Glymph, lead guitarist Josiah Ragland, and bassist Kirtland Gray. Forming in 2016, the Virginia natives’ repertoire include various sounds ranging from heavy-hitting indie rock to a lighter fair of introspective love songs. The band’s most recent record “rock! or go to the association.” embodies both the beauty and destruction that coexist in The Barons’ sound. The tunes have allowed The Barons amass a following among colleges on the East Coast as well as supporting alternative acts such as Judah & The Lion, The Aces, Barns Courtney, and Catfish and the Bottlemen.
