Lobby Sessions is an up close & personal music series produced by Hotel Crocodile, featuring artists you already love & others you’ve yet to discover. 

 

Forty Feet Tall: Forty Feet Tall has cemented their place in the scene as one of the PNW’s most exciting acts. With a steady release of singles paving the way for an LP this coming Spring, produced by Cameron Spies (Spoon Benders, Blackwater Holylight, The Shivas), they showcase a wide range of post-punk sounds that are both volatile and intimate. But the biggest buzz around the band is their live shows. Whether they’re opening for Shame, Frankie and the Witch Fingers, Wine Lips, or headlining themselves, the four members leave every single thing out on stage with gigs routinely ending in incendiary showstoppers that find the lead singer tangled up in mic cords or diving into the crowd.

SUCH RECORDINGS MAY APPEAR AND BE USED IN ANY AND ALL MEDIA, IN PERPETUITY, FOR ANY PURPOSE WHATSOEVER, IN CONNECTION WITH PRODUCTIONS BY LATENT PRINT RECORDS, THE CROCODILE OR ITS LICENSEES AND ASSIGNS. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ALL PHOTOGRAPHY FILMING AND/OR RECORDING WILL BE DONE IN RELIANCE ON THIS CONSENT DEEMED GIVEN BY YOU BY ENTERING THIS AREA.


Nothing can substitute the experience of a live J. Graves show. With comparisons to Sleater-Kinney, Karen O, and Siouxsie And The Banshees, catching a J. Graves show became a goal for music denizens of the Northwest. Along her trajectory Graves annealed other talent with her drive and ideals. Kelly Cifton, perhaps the best bassist (and certainly the most exciting to watch), and the unassuming Aaron MacDonald, who would be a watchmaker --for his distinct timing and style, were he not a drummer.

You must be in front of the liquid rhythm section and pounding chords of the band to feel the blast. In performance Graves eyes roll furiously and her jawline sets as she contacts the emotion that produced her songs. She contorts herself around a fender slimline telecaster, and, in fits and starts, springs forth with contagious, inspiring performances.

  • Forty Feet Tall

    Forty Feet Tall

    Pop

    In 2011, a group of 15 year old high schoolers from LA, raised on healthy doses of 90’s-era punk and grunge, with just enough old-school classic rock thrown in, came together to develop their own sound and started writing and playing original songs from day one. The kids, now called Forty Feet Tall, began playing around Los Angeles in classic venues like The Troubadour, Roxy and the Whiskey. Throughout their last couple of high school years, Forty Feet Tall built themselves a loyal base of local fans by playing parties and shows throughout LA.

     

    College brought them to Portland, OR, where they continued to play locally while focusing on finishing up school. With the addition of bass player Brett Marquette in 2017, and new drummer Ian Kelly, childhood friends Cole Gann (lead singer/guitar) and Jack Sehres (guitar) had completed the circle of Forty Feet Tall with a band to be reckoned with, kicking out some of the best rock songs you’ll hear today.

     

    In 2014, the band released a self-titled full length album while still in college and followed it recently with an EP called “Red Dressed.” A number of their songs have been licensed and featured on shows like Showtime’s Shameless, the Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle, “Killing Gunther,” the Paramount film “Drunk Wedding” and several MTV spots.

     

    Forty Feet Tall’s sound is aggressive and expansive, somewhere between The Strokes and Queens of the Stone Age, releasing some of the most well-crafted and sincere rock songs you’ve heard in years. Their newest material seems fitting for the tumultuous political landscape, with a more assailing punk intensity. These are the kinds of songs you hear for the first time and can’t help but wonder if they’ve always been there, like a song you can’t decide if you already know or if you just need to keep listening to it over and over again. And you will need to keep listening to them over and over again, because the songs (and the band) are just that good.

     

    With a brand new album just released along with two videos, Forty Feet Tall is moving forward at a rapid-fire pace. Their live shows are an explosive display of aggressive intensity, grounded by the songs that are the reason people keep coming back to see them again and again. Keep your eyes out and don’t blink for too long or you’ll miss the next move from this fiery young band.
