In The Whale is an American alternative rock band from Greeley, Colorado composed of Nathaniel Valdez and Eric Riley.

History

Early years and Cake

In The Whale began as a solo project for vocalist Nathaniel Valdez while obtaining his Masters in Educational Psychology at the University of Northern Colorado. With the addition of drummer Eric Riley, the duo relocated to Denver, CO. Both Valdez and Riley were raised in conservative and religious households. However, most of the content of their songs displays rebellious attitude against the views they were taught as youths.[1] Valdez also cites his experience as an undertaker as a catalyst for the morbid nature of the band’s lyrical content of its newer material.[2][3]

First release

Cake was their first commercial release in 2012, produced by Tickle Me Pink guitarist Joey Barba. The album is generally well-favoured, receiving positive reviews on iTunes.[4] This gave scope for the band’s growth across the state of Colorado which eventually landed them an opportunity for a supporting slot on The Photo Atlas' Spring 2012 tour of the Midwest and inclusion in KTCL's annual Hometown for the Holidays contest.[5]

Two tracks from Cake were licensed to TV and films: “Woman,” in a Victory Motorcycles national TV commercial, and "Heels," in the award-winning documentary Why We Ride.

A live version of “Heels” has a record for the opening track on Colorado Public Radio's OpenAir 2015 Record Store Day release.[6]

Nate & Eric

In the Whale’s subsequent release, Nate & Eric, gained press and radio play beyond their home state.[7][8]

The seven-track EP rated as high as #38 on the combined charts reported from various college and community radio stations.[9] Nate & Eric reached #119 on the CMJ Top 200 and was one of the 20 Most Added Records, during the week of its debut. Nate was featured in a story published by Denver's Westword [10] that detailed his day job - when he's not playing music.

The band earned the opportunity to open the Denver installment of 2014’s Riot Fest and got to play at noted Regional Music Festivals like Treefort Music Festival and The UMS.[11] In the Whale spent the summer and fall of 2014 touring alongside Guttermouth, Jane's Addiction and The Presidents of the United States of America.[12][13]

Full Nelson, Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits

The release of 2015’s Full Nelson EP got them to #92 on the combined college radio charts. The band continued to receive favourable reviews not just for this release,[3][14][15][16] but also for their live shows.[17] Reviewer Brian Johnson calls the band "consistently enthralling;"[16] reviewer Jed Murphy stated his only complaint about the album is "how short it is."[15]

In 2015, the duo played at major music festivals such as Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, Canadian Music Week and South by Southwest, which received reviews from the likes of the Chicago Tribune and others.[18][19][20][21] The band's inclusion in the Lollapalooza line-up was a major distinction as they are among the five Colorado artists to play the event in the last decade.[22]

In the Whale served as the Official Correspondent for Denver's Westword newspaper during 2015's SXSW Music Festival in Austin, TX.[23]

The band was also selected for Taco Bell's 'Feed the Beat' and Quiznos 'Toasty on Tour' artist programs and included on New Music Seminar's Artists on the Verge list for 2015.[24][25]

Neighbor

In the Whale entered a working relationship with Red Bull GmbH’s music incubator, Red Bull Sound Select, recording a two-song release with production by No Age (Sub Pop records), in September 2015.{{r|la}}{{r|coc}} The title track “Neighbor” premiered October 14, 2015 via Substream Magazine, with the B-side track, "Pray for the Prey," following on October 22, 2015 via CMJ.[26][27]{{r|coc}}

In support of the release, the band toured with The Darkness, Toadies, and Nashville Pussy during the fall of 2015.[28][29]
