Dust Bowl Faeries – Dark Carnival Music – March 11, Albany

Dust Bowl Faeries wsg Space Trash
Live Music in Albany NY

A faerie-tale fusion of dark cabaret, gothic polka and post-punk music, Dust Bowl Faeries are a dark-carnival band from the New York Hudson Valley. The band’s eclectic repertoire of songs draw inspiration from circus songs, murder ballads and Eastern European folk music. Accordion, singing saw, acoustic guitar, lap-steel, bass and percussion combine to create the Dust Bowl Faeries otherworldly sound. The band was founded by Ryder Cooley (faerie queen) and her taxidermy spirit animal Hazel the Ram. Ryder and Hazel are joined by Jon B. Woodin (rocket faerie), Liz LoGiudice (river faerie), Andrew Stein (time faerie) & Rubie LaRue (feisty faerie). Dust Bowl Faeries released their recent album, The Plague Garden, in 2020. Previously, they released two EP’s and a self titled debut album, produced by music critic Seth Rogovoy, featuring Tommy Stinson (Replacements) & Melora Creager (Rasputina).

Space Trash
Like so many greats, it all started with a few dudes jamming in a garage. One singer and a few funky jams later, Space Trash was born. With the band sharing writing and arranging duties, you can hear the various influences of rock, funk, pop, R&B, and even some harder jams. Their first E.P., released in December, just skims the surface of Space Trash’s depth of sound.
