Mostly known for its breathtaking geography and the birthplace of Johnny Cash, The Natural State of Arkansas is also home to industrial, “shock-n-roll” band WHITE COLLAR SIDESHOW. Let’s be honest here and say that I was completely skeptical. I had fallen victim to the pitfalls of geographical stereotype when it comes to music and I should have known better based on my own personal experiences. I am grateful to have been proven wrong by the dynamic sound of husband and wife duo that solely make up WHITE COLLAR SIDESHOW. Drummer and singer TD along with wife VERONICA on the bass are a force to be reckoned with even if there are only two of them creating the same thunderous sound of a 5 piece rock band.

Original in their own right, WHITE COLLAR SIDESHOW can be compared to White Zombie with a millennial edge. Transitioning and gathering inspiration through the rock generation of the 80’s, 90’s, and the millennium, their love of zombies, and film have allowed WHITE COLLAR SIDESHOW to produce their own unique brand of music and visuals. I recently had the honor of chatting with drummer TD about a lot of great things ahead for them. The band, which was mostly DIY, has recently signed with CURTAIN CALL RECORDS. Their latest album, I DIDN’T COME HERE TO DIE, will be released in October backed by a long list of tour dates.
