Cause and Control consists of Griffin Beronio (Guitar/Vocals), Scott Lonzaga (Drums), and Alex Cope (Bass/Vocals), who collectively founded the band after playing together in jazz ensembles at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Brock Freund (Guitar/Vocals) joined soon after and assumed a shared portion of songwriting duties with Beronio and Cope. Bonding over their shared musical tastes, they decided to bring their multi-genre inspired pop songs to basement DIY shows across Madison, eventually scoring opportunities to open for national acts like Friko, She’s Green, and Farmer’s Wife. This year the band is releasing their second EP, 'Locus of Control’, written and produced in beautiful Madison.Varnish and The Gelf are absolutely epic rock bands local to New York City. The Gelf will bring their faithful power pop sensibilities into the modern era on Friday January 16th. Varnish will captivate you with swirling post-punk and shoegaze-inspired pop tunes and clever lyrics.
