The members of Alpha Consumer have played music on five continents at countless storied venues.

They’ve appeared on Ellen, Later with Jools Holland, and the Late Late show with Craig Ferguson. The members of Alpha Consumer have also been playing their own music for the last twenty years or so. Also, they will continue to do so till the wheels come off.
Martin Dosh has been making independent music out of his basement in Minneapolis—and around the world—for twenty years. He first found acclaim with his self-titled debut in 2003. Then, he continued making Dosh records, releasing many in a short time. He also played and recorded with Andrew Bird from 2005 to 2014. Moreover, his music is hard to pin down: a genre-less, percussive hybrid of electronic, hip-hop, and jazz.
Recommended for fans of Andrew Bird, Bon Iver, The Twilight Hours and The Suburbs.
