Easily the sexiest thing to come out Denver since Don Cheadle, Achille Lauro has spent the past 5 years building a dedicated and bloodthirsty fan base across the front range. They are the soundtrack to the devils stolen sex tape, a livid and confessional mix of Post-Rock guitar swagger and soulful dance music, punctuated by too many influences to mention, something akin to MIA fronting a garage band Radiohead attempting to recreate the soundtrack to the film Amelie. They are the perfect band to play at a dance party inside of a collapsing building, something both indulgent and necessary.

Fairchildren is Nathaniel Rateliff's backing band, including Joseph Pope III (electric guitar), Julie Davis (upright bass), James Han (keyboards), and Patrick Meese (drums), playing songs based on the fairytales of Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm.
