State disco
Indietronic dance rock band, State Disco, was conceived in a dream about an imagined European realm where people rave at government-sponsored dance parties. Lose yourself in driving, urgent beats, melodic synth and guitar, and soaring vocals. A fresh, danceable sound and energetic live show are quickly earning State Disco recognition as one of Omaha’s most exciting new bands. Led by vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, Cody Rathman, the four-piece is rounded out by Jay NeSmith (keys, vocals), Nate Fowler (drums) and Jared Bakewell (bass, vocals).
““I knew it would be a special kind of night when the entirety of the Slowdown’s patronage found its way to the dance floor within seconds of State Disco taking their place. Support for this up-and-coming band was intense and there wasn’t a still hip in the joint. They took aim with mighty, LED-emblazoned instruments and disco balls, verily blasting their boogie lasers at typical crowd apprehension. Dance songs. Slow songs. One song with several very naughty words. The first movement was one of youthful energy and optimism.””
