bedrumor is a Greensboro based band led by Lazuli Ortiz and Ryan Mole. Their music could be described broadly as indie rock, but with inspirations from jazz. In order to convey their music in a live setting, they bring in other musicians to help perform and arrange their music. Currently the group has Tyler Monroe (drums) and Nick Vanbuskirk (saxophone). They take inspiration from artists like Herbie Hancock, King Krule, Duster, Ichiko Aoba and Hiatus Koyote. Lazuli is the main producer of all of bedrumor’s music, which is recorded in her bedroom (hence the name). With a large online following from doing mostly covers, bedrumor continues to write, record, and perform original music regularly with plans to release an EP in the near future.
