THE BAND
Sun Wave Mountain Cave is a four-piece alt-rock group hailing from the frozen lakes of Minneapolis.
St. Paul locals Linus Kangas (drums/vocals, The Drug Budget, Volsunga Saga), Dave Abbott (bass/vocals, The Karma Kicks) and Bryan Fate (guitar/keys/vocals, RX2) first started playing together in a crowded bedroom after middle school over 15 years ago. After adding Andy Brace (guitar/vocals), a classical guitarist and Appleton WI native turned Minneapolitan, Sun Wave Mountain Cave was formed.
From the angst-driven rock and roll of the Replacements to the acoustic vulnerability of Mason Jennings, inspiration for songwriting is heavily rooted in Twin Cities music, which served as the formative backdrop for each band member’s Sony Discman spinning youth. Sample tracks include “25” (with Jayhawks homage harmonies), “Midwest Kid” (drawing on Triple Rock memories), and “The Good Old Days” (vintage 90’s rock vibes).

SWMC consider themselves lovable underdogs and local af. They are also pretty pleasant human beings and would love to play at your venue.
