Meet the band

"Are you just breathing or you really alive?"

We have but one mission--to make sure that you leave our show in a better state than you arrived.

Little did we know how radical that journey would take us as we started experiencing strange occurrences, strange Mandela effects, blips, and altered history. Then we realized, we'd been harmonizing the strings, different timelines, nullifying the dissonances and crossing over. We'd been timeline hopping, and we don't know if we'll ever to get to stop, because so many are chained by the sullen drudgeries of life, and walking through in haze.

We don't know where you need to go, but either way, you're going.

Scott Ewell

Twin Turbo Guitar

"The sound fell from the sky like a careening star…”

Meet one of MLO’s Twin Turbo Guitars, Scott Ewell! Quick to a smile and drawn to unique tones and transitions, Scott complements the gritty fever dream of the overdrive with style and power.

Van Morris

Twin Turbo Guitar

“It ricocheted in between wavelengths, fusing vibration to electricity…”

Equal parts humble artist and backroads rebel, Van's roots are wound tightly with Rock n Roll's own roots. Our other twin turbo guitar weaves the unseen harmonies through each song, gilding them into gold.

Jared Bosse

Bass Boss

“When it awoke, no one knows for sure—but there was no denying its neon heartbeat.”

Meet MLO's Bass Boss. A surfer of soundwaves and captivator of cameras, Jared is as hardworking as he is enthusiastic. He seems to run on the very same low end energy he provides, the deep thrum of the overdrive, proving himself a product of his own paradox.

Phil Milligan

The MF'in Drummer

"Or its sudden burst of precise speed, this sentient & liminal supercharger to all who crossed its path.”

A master and veteran of his craft, Phil is a musician raised by musicians and spent a decade teaching the next generation hitting the scene now. You would be hard pressed to find someone who can learn the lightning as fast as Phil, or wield its thunder with such precision.

Matt Tease

The Vox

"Light & sound leap & spiral.
The ears—they ring,
all hallowed howl & elseworlds wail."

The swaying, swaggered voice and polychrome maniac of the overdrive. He obsesses over bringing the audience something they’ve never seen, something they can’t forget, and to leave them revitalized. He's also a terrible pool player.

Still As Wicked

Wilmington, NC

Regardless of what timeline we're in, the neon glow under spanish moss, the cracking thunder overhead, and the salty streets of Wilmington are home.
