This Sioux City folk band revels to a darker tune. In time for Halloween, the bunch made it to The Journal to record two songs live and chat about their music for a podcast with multimedia producer Sam Burrish.

Songwriter Mike Langley submitted the following as a “bare bones” description of the band. Have fun reading…

“The wandering minstrel is called Medieval Mikey, the Minstrel Mage. Not unlike T. H. White’s Merlyn in The Once And Future King, the Minstrel Mage travels backwards (or is it sideways?) through time, unearthing long-buried musical spells from the space age to the stone age, and ages in-between. Mikey’s band, The Groovediggers, fellow caretakers of the Vault of Ages, join him in a rocking catacomb of undead song. Don’t be afraid of a cobweb or two — come for a stroll through the Grooveyard with The Groovediggers!”

Below is a live performance at The Journal of “Graveyard Wreck.” Check back Thursday afternoon for a video of “Lover’s Lane.”
