Imaginary People, The Midnight Hollow, Keeper

After some fine tuning Imaginary People is releasing their self titled debut EP. The band formed as a collective of individuals coming from differing backgrounds and assembled in late 2012 by core members Dylan Von Wagner[vocals], Mark Roth[guitar], Justin Repasky[keys], Joe Zdaa[drums], and supplemented in the studio and live by Grant Zubritsky [bass]. In this EP, Imaginary People seek to carve out a niche for themselves with a style designated as Dance Americana.



In the winter of 2013 the band decided to throw themselves into a room for months and focus on song craft. This allowed themselves the time to build the songs up, strip them down, and harness their integrity. This EP is a token to a group unafraid to try a song in any fashion, to take the framework of a song, and to try any style and any beat. This remains the foundation of their songwriting process.



Recorded with Matt Boynton[MGMT, Kurt Vile] and Kevin McMahon [Titus Andronicus, Real Estate], Imaginary People found the best path to their EP was to bang it out live in a room and to keep things as raw as possible. Complimenting themselves with synth and strings, they round out their EP with a bit of the classic wall of sound and some kinetic big beats.


New York City based band, The Midnight Hollow, is led by singer and multi instrumentalist Spencer Draeger, with Andrew Segreti on drums. Full line up for live shows is Matt Liebowitz on bass, Vahak "V" Janbazian on percussion and Katie Lee Campo on keyboards. Forming from Draeger's recordings in the brutal heat of summer 2012, they've gained a lot of attention locally in NYC early on from their hypnotic shows, unpredictable stage presence and tend to focus on keeping sets half improv and loose. Draeger, who writes the songs and plays everything on the recordings except Segreti's drums, incorporates groove heavy rhythms with lush guitars, analog synthesizers and melodic bass coining their very own sound, "Concrete Jungle Rock."

In 2013, the band officially released their first song "Downstairs" for a compilation on French based label, Zappruder Records. In June of 2014, they released a surreal 60s psychedelic cult classic style video for "Her Morning Glow." The Midnight Hollow recently self released their first EP in summer of 2014 with a second one set to release in Winter.
