In this CAP, we feature Clay K, the head Vertebrate of ClayK & the Vertebrates plus one vertebrate band member (Em). Clay & The Vertebrates are a no wave post-rock experimental band which crawled out of the depths of the Fort Collins music in 2025 and has been blowing out eardrums ever since. If we could describe the ClayK sound in a sentence it'd be if an orchestra took acid and mainlined Swans albums for a year straight. In this episode, we get into Clay's influences, rehearsals in a burnt out chicken coop storage unit, and an extremely accurate historical recap of the legend of "Eurethra!"

Check out ClayK & the Vertebrates on Instagram and listen to the latest EP release, "Alive & In Boxes" on Bandcamp:

In this CAP, we feature two beautiful and talented Fort Collins musicians, Mallory Graham and Riley Michelle Welsh. Mal's songs take influence from The Buttertones, Mac DeMarco, Arctic Monkeys, Jack White and the ever breathing Earth. Each live set welcomes listeners to an intimate soundscape, reminds us of our humanity, and celebrates ducks everywhere (Note: Don't give 'em bread!). She has also released a debut solo EP and three singles in 2025! On the debut EP, she sings and plays everything: drums, bass, guitars, pianos, and the Fender Rhodes. Mal and Riley have formed a two-piece band, Ladybird Rehab (Insta: @ladybird.rehab) in 2025 so don't miss their next shows!
