Live Music: Muddy Ruckus

Description

Two Souls, one suitcase kick, three amplifiers, and enough voltage to raise the dead. Muddy Ruckus is a wild-hearted, feral psyche rock duo known for transforming minimalist instrumentation into a full-throttle sonic eruption. Fronted by guitarist/songwriter Ryan Flaherty and drummer/vocalist Erika Stahl, the band delivers a sound far bigger than two people should be able to conjure. Stahl thunders on a custom suitcase kick drum while Flaherty runs his guitar through a maze of two guitar amps and one bass amp simultaneously—an alchemy that turns raw voltage into atmosphere, grit, and cinematic fire.
