Heavy atmospheric rock from San Francisco.

VIQUEEN is an all-female powerhouse featuring heavy sound and thoughtful melodies. While based out of San Francisco, their roots are widespread. The conglomeration of backgrounds results in a unique sound that highlights elements of East Coast Metal, Americana, and the Riotgrrrl movement. They have played SF Bay Area venues such as Neck of the Woods, El Rio, 924 Gilman, Hemlock Tavern, Bottom of the Hill, Golden Bull, and Hotel Utah, as well as several other venues outside the area including Portland, Eugene, Sacramento, Reno, Seattle and Austin.

Founded in 2013 as the solo project of San Jose-based guitarist/vocalist Kyle Schaefer, Archaeologist has now unearthed a full live lineup featuring Sean Johnson (Raiju, Riffshop), Ryan Johnson (Surrounded By Giants, The Even Deep) and George Lallian (Cyborg Octopus).  The band's latest release "Odysseys" marks a departure from previous material, taking a journey into seven tracks of colorful, adventurous, instrumental prog-rock. Some of the many guest appearances include Yvette Young of Covet, Gavin Castleton of the Dear Hunter, and UK-based guitarist Sithu Aye. In their 2017 review of the album, prog music publication It Djents states: "The succinctly powerful word which has kept on creeping into my thoughts as I jammed this album is 'refreshing'. 8.5/10".  With the newly formed lineup and successful release of Odysseys, Archaeologist has now turned its focus to playing as many shows as possible and preparing new material for a 2018 release.

Thrown-Out Bones blurs the lines between stage and audience with an electric energy, classic style, and seductive, gritty tone all their own.
