Hudson Powder Company was formed in 2023, when our frontman Cooper Lowry returned home to the Treasure Valley after an extended period of time “roughing it” in Western Montana. Searching for a backing band, Mr. Lowry wisely recruited Alexis Galvan (drums; percussion), Ricky Jones (bass guitar; backing vocals), and Doug Rudeen (guitar). What do we sound like? Well imagine a goth rock band or a post-rock band had …carnal relations…with a country/americana/”red dirt” band, and their offspring somehow managed to create music that was actually ✨good✨. You might not expect this to happen in real life (that would be a reasonable expectation). However, this is the essence of what Hudson Powder Company is. I guess what we’re really trying to do is create a sort of sound that’s somehow uniquely Idahoan or unique to the Inland Northwest. We feel that there isn’t really a genre of music that’s endemic to this area and we’d like to try and change that in some way. Whether we do that or not doesn’t really matter, it’s interesting to try.

Arcade Sarcasm
Arcade Sarcasm is a four-piece indie rock band from right here in Boise, Idaho. They’ve got a sound that knows exactly what it’s doing: taking the best parts of 2000s post-rock and slamming them into a modern indie sound that’s equal parts raw emotion and anthem. It’s a genre-bending blend that captures the spirit of the Pacific Northwest and then kicks it up a notch.
When you come to an Arcade Sarcasm show, you’re not just watching; you’re a part of it. The band is all about making music that’s honest, and they want you to feel every note. So, come dance, get lost in the moment, and just be there with them. Arcade Sarcasm isn’t just making music; they’re creating a journey that bridges the past and the present, and it’s a ride you won’t want to miss.
