Badfeather

Badfeather was born from the mind of Rick Gerber of Tanglewood, and Labcoat, on piano, guitar, harmonica and vocals, and Jeremy Whitesides of the Pour, on lead guitar. With their shared ambition and songwriting prowess, there was a desire to fuse the gap between songwriting, rock, soul, and the essence of jamming to the threshold of the Salt Lake City music scene.

When David Mealey of Stonefed on bass joined the band, there was no stopping this act from achieving that goal.

After a long run of touring, recording and playing the scene, they disbanded to seek other avenues of music. 

This long awaited reunion will be adding Jessie Howerton of the Pour on keys, and Dave Brogan of ALO on drums. These two indomitable players are a welcome addition, and will add new zest to the bands repertoire.

Performing songs from their first record Flight Pattern, and their unfinished album , Mala Pluma, as well as deep cuts, this power house of a band never disappoints with raw and honest rock and roll, blended with the elements of soul, funk, southern feels, and visceral jam band styles that will leave you wanting much much more…

Spirit Machines has hit the rock scene like an atom bomb.

With endorsements from rock legends TOOL and Nights With Alice Cooper, plus a hit single in the newly released game, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, you are discovering Spirit Machines at the perfect time... right before they hit massive mainstream success!

Spirit Machines is hard rock and features screaming guitar solos with melodic breakdowns over a furious rhythm section. Yet lead vocalist Pepper Rose’s voice makes it all easy on the ears.

There is something irresistibly catchy about every word she sings. But it’s more than just a catchy song. There is cathartic, healing truth. And that’s when you realize:

Spirit Machines is about facing your deepest, darkest fears... and winning.
