Desert Noises: Made up of brothers Trevor Henderson (drum/backup vocals) and Kyle Henderson (lead guitar/vocals); and Riley Johnson (bass), this is the most recent addition to the Northplatte family. Marked by dreamy, harmony-laden vocals and strong bass lines, they have been together as a band for only nine months and released their first EP in January.
The band's relative newness is not lost on them. They don't come off as amateurs, but they sure are wide-eyed about what they've managed to do in so little time, including selling out their EP release show. "It's weird. It's like shell-shock," Trevor Henderson said. "Because, you know, we used to play in the basement."
None of them thought anything consequential would come of the recording they made.
"I didn't think it'd turn into this," Trevor Henderson said. "I thought we'd get a copy of it and then we'd go print off, like, a hundred copies …"
"And then give them to relatives as Christmas presents," Johnson added.
"And then it's something you show your kids when you're, like, 60," Kyle Henderson said, finishing the thought process.
But they are grateful for what they've been able to do thus far, as artists, and are eager to grow.
"The more comfortable we get, the more we kind of evolve," Trevor Henderson said. "It's still just an EP and we're kind of an immature band. We're just young, you know, we're still really young."
