‘Feast or Famine:‘ The rockin‘ rise of a young Missoula band

A bassist with Brazilian-food cravings. A dinosaur-obsessed vocalist. An Alaskan ex-pianist. These are some of the eclectic members of self-described "evil psychedelic jazz rock" band Cosmic Sans. The five-member group is made up of current and former UM students and just released its self-titled debut album in October. 

Though it started out opening for other well-known Missoula bands like Fertile Crescent and the Skurfs, Cosmic Sans is beginning to forge its own path, drawing on its UM connections and riding the wave of local music's resurgence in the wake of the COVID 19 pandemic.

This week, Kaimin arts reporter Josh Moyar joins Kaimin Cast host Austin Amestoy to share the unwritten story of Cosmic Sans.
