Nebraska's elusive Leather Band, PLACK BLAGUE, has been on a rampant
path of sex, destruction and electronic leather mayhem for over two
decades. Performing internationally from large theaters and dive bars,
to art galleries, dingy basements, and even children's television
shows, the leather-clad monstrosity continues to attract and
confuse audiences varying from dance party club kids to heavy metal
beer guzzlers. PLACK BLAGUE's sound emits a vile combination of
primitive Industrial noise, sadistic Body Music, and throbbing dance
beat party vibes. The live performance is a "must see" spectacle of
homoerotic Leathersexual delusions of grandeur mixed with muscle
flexing tantrums of harsh noise and electronic disco.

Plack Blague has been making headlines with feature articles in media
outlets Revolver Magazine and Out Magazine, who premiered the music
video for "Just Another Man of the Street" from the 2017 album "Night
Trax" released by New York City label, Ormolycka Records. Touring
extensively across the United States and Canada, the band caught the
attention of Adam Lee Miller from Detroit's ADULT., who began
producing new music with the Blague and also included them as direct
opening support for their full U.S. tour in the Fall of 2018.
Throughout 2019, Plack Blague went coast to coast in the states while
also including a Spring European tour as direct support opening for
Los Angeles hardcore rap/punk outfit, Ho99o9 plus a West Coast tour
from Canada to Mexico with art rockers, Psychic Graveyard. Since
returning to live music in late 2020, Blague has performed coast to
coast and in between. 2022 kicked off with a full UK/EU tour as
direct support for ADULT., performing 22 shows in 12 countries. Plack Blague has made chatter for their live performances throughout festivals such as Substance, Cold Waves, Infest (UK), Music Frozen Dancing, and Folsom Street Fair. Over the years, they have shared the stage with a variety of eclectic artists such as Psychic TV, Charli XCX, Big Freedia, Mykki Blanco, My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult, The Faint, Adore Delano, Front Line Assembly and Powerman 5000.

Unwed Sailor

Book Unwed Sailor

“A late-night drive to nowhere, built on journeying melodies and throttling atmosphere. Unwed Sailor’s shoegazing, new wave escapism is very deeply felt right now” NPR

Unwed Sailor’s beloved album “Mute the Charm” is post-rock with an unwavering pulse, tightly wound connective tissue, and self-proclaimed shades of everything from The Stone Roses to Seam. Bandcamp (Album of the Day)

(Unwed Sailor’s) “Truth or Consequences” is poignant and poised, intimate but ambitious in its pursuit of connection. Under the Radar

For more than two decades, Ford has led the post-rock band Unwed Sailor. In that time, Ford has steered the band through a searching string of albums, incorporating the influence of ambient music, shoegaze, new age, math rock, and drone into its body of work, which constitutes one of the greatest under-recognized discographies in all of indie rock.
