Indie 102.3 Sessions

Born outside of Boston and now Loveland based, band Mystee made their debut in the Indie Lounge back in April. The frontwoman and founder, Ilana Held, told us this wasn't her first music project. Held ventured to Cardiff, Wales for a songwriting Masters program. While there she did what any musician would typically do: she formed a band. The band created songs and performed gigs, but eventually it came to a halt when Held was deported for violating her visa. This isn't the only wild story that led to Mystee's origins. Watch this latest session with the Local 303 alum to hear more about her and the band's pursuits and listen to some of their latest tunes stripped down.

Indie rock band Wildermiss may have made the move from Denver to Nashville recently, but the band hasn't lost that love for their hometown while being embraced by a new music scene. While on the road, Wildermiss has tried out new music and has received flows of positive support. Known for their joyous live shows and their catchy tunes, Wildermiss dominates their Live Session ahead of a headlining show at Infinity Park on September 23. Watch as their exclusive interview and hear brand new singles off their upcoming album Levitate (October 23).

N3ptune has taken Colorado by storm for the past few years. It started with a school collaboration between students N3ptune and Rusty Steve, and they soon realized it was a destined match. Together they created high rock tunes influenced by hip-hop with a hint of pop and released their debut album Renaissance in 2021. Visiting the performance studio for the first time the trio of N3ptne, Rusty Steve on guitar, and Average Johnny (anything but average) DJing give an explosive set of four songs. An exclusive first listen of their song "Shadow" debuts in this session as well. Full interview by Local Music Director Alisha Sweeney, where she breaks down the songs and talks their recent Nuggets half-time show performance and what we can look forward to from N3ptune! Setlist: 1. "Wedlock" 2. "Black Horse" 3. "Shadow" 4. "Misery Loves Company"

The brotherly duo make up Hermanos Gutiérrez and have been playing guitar together since childhood, influenced by their Ecuadorian heritage. Getting back to those roots they reflect on family and tradition on their 2022 critically acclaimed fifth studio album "El Bueno Y El Mano", freshly signed to Easy Eye Sound Records. We welcome them to perform a few songs stripped down off the album for the first time in the Indie Lounge and an interview with Host Bruce Trujillo.

If you've had a chance to see rapper Genesis Owusu live, you might describe his performance as electric, heart-pounding, explosive. Fans got to witness all of that and more in the intimate venue of Globe Hall in Denver on a crisp November evening. We, here in the Indie Lounge, get a special performance from Genesis Owusu ahead of that show. He performs new tracks from his genre-less third LP STRUGGLER and sits down with Host Will Carlan. Songs performed: "Leaving The Light" "Tied Up!" "Stay Blessed"
