In this episode, we’re joined by Christian Dryden of the New York-based band, The Ritualists.
Emerging from the underground glam scene in NYC’s East Village, The Ritualists have become a key player in the Lower East Side music scene, a community that deeply influenced Dryden’s musical vision. Immersed in a world that draws inspiration from icons like The Velvet Underground and New York Dolls, as well as British glam rock, Dryden’s sound blends these influences with his own contemporary twist. Reflecting on his musical journey, Dryden shares, "Being inspired by larger-than-life figures like David Bowie, Simon Le Bon, Bryan Ferry, and Marc Bolan was both a gift and a challenge. While it was transformative to imagine these legends as musical soulmates, it also brought a sense of loneliness, as I felt like I was the only one with that vision... until I discovered the venues and clubs of the Lower East Side."
