Hailed as “retro nerd-core supreme mother f*ckers,” Nashville-based Jive Talk features frontman Oliver Pierce, multi-instrumentalists Isaac Middleton and Andres Ahogado, bassist/producer Ben Dunn, and drummer Philip Walker.
With a reputation for their vibe-heavy, anthemic synth-rock sound, the band has
earned high praise for its live show, including from Nashville’s Mike Grimes (owner of Grimey’s Records & The Basement East), who called them “the next big thing out of Nashville.”
Tuned Up exclaimed, “We truly haven’t seen a show with so much personality in ages.”
In 2022, the band toured extensively, including 50+ headlining shows & support dates with bands The Districts, Stephen Sanchez, The Brummies, The Unlikely Candidates, and many others.
2023 marks the start of an exciting next chapter with the release of their new single, “Potions,” their most expansive musical creation to date.
Frontman Oliver Pierce says, “What came out feels like something that could be shouted from atop a table at 3 AM.
It’s an acknowledgment of our nightly sins; and a celebration of them, in a way, as that is what makes us human at the end of the day.”
The synth-driven track pushes their sonic boundaries, teasing a fresh creative direction as they work on completing their debut album.
They opened for Rainbow Kitten Surprise this year. I ain’t never heard of them same with the other review but when they came on stage, they were all in their feeling, they were singing, dancing and they were having a great time and I loved it and I would totally wanna see them in concert
They opened for Rainbow Kitten Surprise and surprisingly, I agree with the other review. I’ve never heard of them before, but as soon as they came on stage, I love that they started jamming. Now he was in his feelings, bro all of them were and they were dancing and singing, they were just having a great time and I loved it.
they opened for rainbow kitten surprise last night, and i’d never heard of them before but they were awesome. they had a lovely stage presence, quirky in the best way and effortlessly cool. their sound was groovy, dreamy, and overall just had high energy and vibes. they also stuck around to meet people after the show which was really sweet- signing autographs at the merch stand, taking pictures and chatting. such a solid first impression, i’d definitely see them again!
