Led by Steve Dodd (piano, guitar) and Chris Laughlin (guitar), their haunting vocal harmonies give The Visitors a uniquely salient sound. Supported by Shea Sweeney (bass) and Joe Vaccarelli (drums), The Visitors feature some of the best talent in Denver.The Visitors is a mix of your favorite band from the 90s and your favorite band from the 60s. Their eclectic offerings of driving rock and mellow pop songs are truly evocative of such dynamic bands as the Smashing Pumpkins and Radiohead with classic influence reminiscent of the Beatles and the Doors.The centerpiece of The Visitors’ sound is their unique vocal harmonies. Together with driving guitars and versatile piano, they fuse the originality of indie rock with a pop feel you would hear on the radio.Formed in 2001, The Visitors’ are a fixture of Denver. They have carved their place into the Denver scene by playing with national acts such as Plain White T’s , Man Man , and Death From Above 1979 , as well as several local acts including Hello Kavita , Bop Skizzum and All Capitals .The Visitors’ continue to promote their EP, inviting fans to join them while expanding their Denver following with appearances at both high-visibility clubs and more intimate venues, wielding an urge to take on the statewide scene and beyond.
