MYSTERY PALACE Introducing Mystery Palace, the one of a kind synth pop trio from Minneapolis. With nearly 40 tour dates across the U.S. including performances at the SXSW music festival and tons of play on the college music charts. Mystery Palace is quickly becoming the next band to watch. Ryan Olcott (ex-12 Rods front man) provides melody in the form of circuit bent consumer keyboards and voice that could soothe the most savage of beasts, Joey Van Phillip (Omaur Blisss) carries the band with perfectly laid and thoughtful rhythms, and James Buckley (Poor Line Condition, James Buckley Trio) provides the backbone of the trio in the form of a Fender Jazz Bass with a modified bottom end to shake the rafters. Mystery Palace embodies the essence of experimentation with a heavy dose of pop sensibility.
