Location: 229 Greenkill Ave

spaceheater is a quartet comprised of four veteran Hudson Valley musicians, guitarists Rick Warren and Sal Cataldi, bassist Dave Strahl and drummer April Drum. Together, they put their effects-driven guitars, thumping bass and polyrhythmic drum assault to work on everything from the heaviest rock to jazz and blues to ambient and industrial sounds, in both originals and obscure covers. The latter span from early Pink Floyd to electric-era Miles Davis and Terje Rypdal to psych/garage classics like Eight Miles High and Rumble. The band regularly performs at popular Hudson Valley venues including the Colony, Pearl Moon and The Station Bar in Woodstock, The Tinker Street Tavern at the Bearsville Theater, Keegan Ale, West K*ll Supply and Green K*ll Sessions in Kingston, Snug Harbor in New Paltz and many more.
spaceheater is an appropriate name for the group as it was birthed during rehearsals in the winter months of 2021/22 at Kingston’s Green K*ll art gallery. While jamming there, the group was warmed by space heaters, ones whose fumes may have played a role in imbuing their work with its unique hallucinatory bend. Their sound combines the loose meandering jams of “St. Stephen”-flavored Grateful Dead with the edgy prog/industrial/space rock improvs of latter-day King Crimson and Krautrock.
Hudson Valley One recently called the band: “A powerhouse of genre-defying sounds, blending heavy rock, jazz, blues ambient and industrial influences.”
