Creature and the Woods

Creature and the Woods are a harmonic brotherhood, dredging the grooves of Rock & Roll roots and American mythology. After forming in 2014 and undergoing an abrupt lineup change in 2015, Creature and the Woods quickly earned critical applause and regional attention with the purity of their heart-pounding live performances and the intensity of lead singer, Roger Molina’s storytelling. Balancing punk ethos with the melodic sensibility of a folk singing group, the quintet pulses with a distant heart beat, grounded in an all-to-present perspective. Bashing mallet and drum, Creature and the Woods howl from inside the sage journey, inside the core of Americana, inexplicably carving new songs out of the bedrock of ancestral land. With the release of their debut album, Rise (2017), Creature and the Woods set the new vanguard of Southern California roots music. The eight song release moves from hard times ballad to a rock & roll throw down with all the reverie of a hallucinatory choir. Expanding their own melodic lore, Creature and the Woods recorded a follow-up E.P., J Tree, immersed in the light of the super moon over a handful of days in Joshua Tree National Park. J Tree finds the group navigating the metaphysics of their origin while hunting the uncharted sounds only found in overwhelming places. J Tree is due for release in May 2019. also bookable for small, acoustic type performances. Duo and trio performances.

I am a true Blues Man from Chicago. The music I bring to people is from my heart and soul. I've been singing since the age of 10. I've been performing since the age of 13. Having a musical good time is what I bring to the stage. My band performs in Local Venues, Local and International Festivals, Special and Corporate Events and Private Parties. I have gear to perform for a few thousand people. Or I can bring a duo to a smaller more intimate setting. My sound is tight and moving. My musical experience goes through many generations. People can expect to have a good time, and dance the night away. When people choose our band, they wind up being very glad that they did !!!!!!

Oceanside born and raised, I usually perform as a solo artist, though an excellent lead guitarist is available if it fits the budget. I play guitar and ukulele. I'm usually booked so perform my originals, but I do have an extensive list of covers. My style of music has been called folk/jazz, island/folk, and folk/rock. Regardless, I'm pretty laid-back, but I can play some up-tempo stuff - though that phrase is relative. I have a number of recordings which can be heard her on the Gig Town app, on iTunes, and on my own website. I do have my own Bose Compact sound system. www.robmehl.com / robmehl@cox.net SOME REVIEWS - Earbuzz Magazine says, "With the poetic lyrical delivery of Lou Reed and a tenor that reminds us of John Denver (can you imagine a cross between the two?) - country narrative with alternative vocals." Jaime Valle - Award-Winning Latin/Jazz Guitarist says, “Rob Mehl is such a talented and gifted songwriter, what we call a "natural" in the music biz. He delivers his music with obvious honesty and a laid-back feel that captures you immediately! Check out this cd ("Just Give Me The Keys”) and you will agree with me. Rob, keep up the good work, my friend!” Mark Lennon - of Venice says, "Hey Rob! We've been listening to your new cd (“Out Of The Blue”) out by the pool during our writing breaks - you take us back to the islands and make our minds free to create again. Thanx! Ciao for now, Mark and the rest of the boys from Venice." David Powles - of the BBC and the Fiddler's Green International Folk Festival Committee (Ireland) says, "We were all blessed by your music, Rob. I heard someone say that you were like an island version of an old Irish story teller!"I'm

Bio: Wistappear is a southern-Californian indie rock project which sprouted from the off-kilter autobiographical songs of Ian Lipson. He urgently mined for self-understanding through song, while back at his childhood home, living the classic millennial tale after two years of recklessness and musical adventure in Los Angeles. Carrying a disorienting duality of youthfulness and nostalgia, Lipson’s solo works evolved into full band orchestrations as he found himself back in Los Angeles finishing a 5-song EP titled Ride It Out, assembling a live band, and recording two standalone singles ("Midnight Preacher," "Every Side") at Universal Rondor Studios in Santa Monica. Wistappear went on to work with producer/engineer Drew Vandenberg (of Montreal, Toro y Moi, Kishi Bashi) who mixed the singles and then co-produced/engineered/mixed the upcoming album, Knack For Whatever. For the past three years, Ian Lipson and Evan Jiroudek (drums) have been building music and incubating a special spontaneity that permeates the multi-dimensional musical mischief of Knack For Whatever. Wistappear crowd-funded the album project, journeyed to Oregon to refine and rehearse the album material while immersed in abundant beauty and inspiration, and then drove across the country to the creative oasis of Athens, GA where Lipson and Jiroudek spent a month working with Vandenberg on the record. Throughout the recording process, Wistappear explored the vibrant musical community in Athens, and worked together with McKendrick Bearden of Grand Vapids, John Fernandes of Circulatory System and Olivia Tremor Control, among other inspiring figures who spring from the Athens scene. Upon returning to Los Angeles, Lipson and Jiroudek regrouped with guitarist Dylan Rodrigue, and long-time collaborator and bassist Marcus Högsta, with whom they continue to develop new material and perform. Wistappear plans to release Knack For Whatever later this year, and share a few singles in the meantime. Booking info: Available for any sized venue, as well as private events and parties. Wistappear performs regularly throughout Southern California and has a wide variety of original music. Online: Facebook.com/Wistappear Youtube.com/Wistappear Soundcloud.com/Wistappear Wistappear.bandcamp.com Press: "Wistappear doesn’t do anything by the indie-rock playbook. Songwriter Ian Lipson has a penchant for sonic whimsy, lyrical hyperactivity..." (Kevin Bronson, Buzzbands.LA) “Wistappear is an interesting fusion of psychedelia, wonky rock n’ roll and folk-pop… These guys aren’t conforming to any trends and they’re still having fun; L.A. bands can do that, you know.” (Seraphina Lotkhamnga, Buzzbands.LA) “I can’t fault this record at all, it is such an easy record to listen to and enjoy. It’s a ruckus of heightened elevation wrapped up in indie pop form.“ (Jacinta Fox, The Blue Walrus)
