WHAT IT IS: The high-school-age Kansas City band—vocalist Addie Sartino, guitarist Brandon Yangmi, bassist Pierce Turcotte and drummer Austin Fraser—quickly emerged on the music scene after catching the attention of Lazlo Geiger, a staffer from 96.5 The Buzz. Their debut EP, It’s Not All That Bad, captivated listeners with its musicality and meaningful lyrics. “We’re working to create a collaborative environment with our surroundings,” explains Sartino, “To us, The Greeting Committee is an art project influenced by the listeners. The music is merely the soundtrack to something much greater.” Expect a full-length album this fall.
