Bio:
We are a three piece WACK rock band from Southern California. We are not related but we look pretty
darn close. We enjoy making music and spending our free time petting goats!
Where it all began:
Hoyt, Kyle, and Trevor all met at a performance-based rock music school when they were in elementary
school. While in college they grew their following in San Diego. Their focus on, and love of, music fuels
the success they’ve had with Sitting On Stacy.
How’d they get their name?
The boys started out as “Paper”. People searching for them on the internet would find great deals at
Office Depot and Staples but couldn’t find them easily. They needed to find a unique name. They spent
months tossing suggestions around. One day Hoyt woke up having dreamed about doing a show and
that they’d been introduced as Sitting On Stacy. They thought it was pretty funny but the more they
joked about it the more it stuck.
Does the goat logo have significance?
The logo is of Rosa, a Grand Champion Doe from Hoyt’s 4H days of showing goats. While all of his goats
have passed away, Rosa gets a place of honor as the goat you see on much of SOS merchandise and
their logo.
The Alive!
With influences ranging from Sabbath, Nirvana, Rush, to Idles, The Alive launched in California between surf & skate sessions in 2018. Performances include BottleRock’s main stage, Shaky Knees Atlanta, Wonderfront, Ohana Fest, Kelly Slater’s Wave Ranch, Boardmasters England, Aftershock, Louder than Life, and forever grateful to open Lollapalooza Chile 22’s main stage for Foo Fighters. Other highlights include support sets for Jimmy Eat World, The Hives, Taylor Hawkins’s Chevy Metal, and performing with Dave Grohl, Shane Hawkins, Chad Smith, and Eddie Vedder.
Named one of Stab Magazine’s 30 Under 30 Culture Shifters of Tomorrow, The Alive has been featured in Whalebone Magazine, Surfline, Guitar Player, CNN, Fuel TV, Daily Mail UK, ABC, NPR, etc. The Alive are a BYOBottle artist committed to reducing single use plastics and have played benefits for Surfrider Foundation, SAS in England, Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii, and Save the Waves to help protect our beaches and oceans
Amoeba Arena
Amoeba Arena brings a fresh energy to the indie scene with their unique blend of twinkly guitar riffs, jazzy chords, and catchy emo hooks. Born from a year of passionate garage songwriting fueled by PBR and American Spirits, the math rock/midwest emo quartet—Grant Meister, Jeremiah Jensen, Brayden Vilendrer, and Colin Singh—emerged through sessions at The Boise Hive. Their independently recorded debut EP showcases a commitment to DIY ethos, capturing the spirit of bands like Joyce Manor, Glocca Morra, and Algernon Cadwallader. A standout performance at Realms Arcade alongside “Awakebutstillinbed” and the buzz around their EP “Absolutely” solidify Amoeba Arena’s place as a local favorite, marking a dynamic presence in Boise’s indie music landscape
