Comprised of Fond du Lac natives Ben Baker and Michael Stensland, The Astronomers challenge the alt-
pop space with their synthesis of unconventional elements in each track. “Their discography is unlike
[anything] you’ve heard of” - Tongue Tied Magazine, July 2021.
The duo’s second single “Hotel Rooms” off their upcoming project has received substantial play on
Wisconsin radio including 101.1 WIXX, reaching #1 while currently in their power rotation. Lead song
“Overthinking” from their Sophomore EP “Guess it’s Just Life” reached #1 on top nine at 9.
The Astronomers, paired with bass player/co-producer Ike Holzmann and drummer Josh Guy
produce a dynamic, energy-filled performance, headlining venues including Titletown Green Bay and The
Terrace in Madison, Wisconsin to 500+ attendees.
“Turn Out Fine” featuring LA-based artist Sammy Rash released May 5th massing over 150,000 Streams
in its first month, while also landing an editorial from Spotify on “New Pop Picks” playlist. Accompanying
the summer hit is the duo’s latest single “Like The Holidays” out July 8th.

In the scorching summer of 2018, Matthew Lester (Bass/Guitar/Vocals), Travis McCulloch (Guitar), Taylor “Skooter” Murrey (Drums), and Zachary White (Vocals/Guitar/Bass) set out on a mission. The 4 were previously members of Tacoma’s “The Buddy System”, but it had been 6 years since they composed with each-other. Shortly after, they were joined by keyboardist, Russel Groves. The 5 then separated from The Buddy System, officially forming Modern Daze.
Stylistically, Lester & Groves bring smokey elements of jazz, soul, and psychedelia into the mix, while Murrey accentuates linear grooves and intense funk patterns with a spicy latin twist. Toss that in a pot with the post-punk influences of McCulloch & White, you end up with a main course dish of ambient funk pop.
Although a new band, Modern Daze has been making headway in both the Seattle and the Tacoma music scenes. The mysteriously goofy 5-piece has played over 20 shows since the fall of 2018, becoming known for their high energy stage persona. Modern Daze released their first self-titled EP in the summer of 2019 and is working diligently on an LP set for 2020.
