SUNDAY FLOOD:
On Thanksgiving Day 1995, after plates of stuffing and meat, four teenagers in an Appleton, Wisconsin basement decided to start a rock band. They called it SUNDAY FLOOD.
Two decades of sweaty shows across the Midwest: questionable vans, late nights, lineup changes, broken gear, and a handful of records.
Now it’s 2026, and somehow—against everyone’s better judgment and collective lower‑back pain—SUNDAY FLOOD is waking back up after an 11 year slumber.
Indie Rock? Post-Hardcore? Midwest Emo? Whatever. The band has always lived in tension and release: pounding rhythms, dissonant guitars, sneaky melodies, and dynamics that swing from barely holding together to falling apart.
One more show. After that…?
Guitar/Vocals: Mike Allen
Vocals/Guitar: Eric W. Krueger
Bass/Vocals: David Kiley
Drums: Eric Laeyendecker
SHORT TIMER:
Some years ago on a cold night in a Longfellow neighborhood bar three Minneapolitans decided that they were not yet finished writing and performing music. An EP, a full length, a pandemic, another EP, and another full length later, and they are still not done.
SCARLET ESCAPE:
Hailing originally from Appleton, Wisconsin, Scarlet Escape was a four-piece outfit rooted deeply in the Fox Cities' local music community. The band carved out an authentic, high-energy presence across Northeast Wisconsin by rolling their shared yet distinct 1990s influences into a dynamic amalgamation of post-modern rock, hook-laden pop, and atmospheric shoegaze.
The lineup featured:
Joe DePaoli – Vocals, Guitar
Kevin Kosterman – Guitar, Vocals
James Wilson – Bass
Mike St Clair – Drums
Driven by layered guitars, driving rhythms, and melodic grit, Scarlet Escape regularly shared stages with fellow Fox Valley acts before slowly disbanding in and around the early 2010s, leaving behind a memorable footprint in the regional scene.
