ND 22 Live on KYFR Channel 5, Bismarck, ND - NBC-KYFR
To find a native rock band that embraces that straight ahead hard rock sound ROCK IS RED has traditionally had to look above the U.S./Canadian border. The Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold Reservation on North Dakota is merely a hop skip and a jump from Canada and it's home to the band ND 22 whose bombastic heavy metal sound boasts a strong blues-based sensibility. Formed in 2013, the band - comprised of KEITH BIG CROW on guitars, vocalist TOMMY NELSON, IAN NELSON on drums, KODY FOX on guitar and JOSH RED FEATHER-RAMIREZ - cut their teeth musically in numerous bars an casino lounges. They've taken their electrifying live show beyond the the Dakotas and their original material is due for an official release. The tracks that have us the most exciting are the rapturous rock anthems 66, 44 TO THE 5 and SOMEWHERE. - Rockwired.com

Bio
ND 22 is a young , up and coming band from New Town, ND with band members having roots in the Black Hills area. We formed in May of 2013 having our first paying gig the same month. Since then, we have been steadily playing packed bars and casino lounges. We are in the process of getting to a real studio to record our songs, most of which we recorded ourselves already. We blend Rock N Roll and Blues with the heaviness of modern sounds. Our vocal range is a cross between STP and Johnny Cash, with modern overtones. We have plenty of guitar solos to keep everybody warm and entertained all night! We play everything from country to heavy metal to rock n roll to blues, keep you dancing all night!
