WAUSAU-BASED VOX ULTIMA SET TO ROCK GOODFELLA’S PUB
Wausau, WI– The Vox Ultima, an alternative rock band based in Wausau, Wisconsin, will hit
the stage at Goodfella’s Pub, 141 S. Central Ave., Marshfield, on Saturday, January 27.
Joining The Vox Ultima is Rogue Royal from Minneapolis, Minnesota. The show starts at
9:00 PM.
This will be the first show in Marshfield for The Vox Ultima, which formed in 2023. The band
features Orlando diValentin on bass and vocals, Brian Kalish on guitar, Dillon Knoblock on
guitar and Rori Knoblock on drums and vocals.
“When (Goodfella’s Pub owner) Ben Bayerl reached out to us and asked if we could do a
show in Marshfield on January 27, we jumped at the chance,” said Kalish. “We’ve played a
lot of shows over the past year and are excited to bring our brand of rock music to a new
audience.” The Vox Ultima features intricate guitar work and dynamics drawing from influences including Radiohead, U2, Manchester Orchestra and more.
“We’re in the vein of bands like Modest Mouse and Interpol with an existential twist in the
content of the songs,“ said diValentin.
While the band continues to book shows in 2024, their focus will shift in the coming weeks
as they prepare to head into the studio to record their debut album.
“We’re excited to re-start the recording process,” said diValentin. “We’re getting started with our new drummer (Rori Knoblock)… we’re hoping to come up with a really high quality
recording.”
“We’ve been rehearsing for months now,” said Kalish. “I think we’re definitely ready to get to work on this album. We’ve got a ton of material and we’re writing new stuff all the time.”
The Vox plans to give fans a front row seat in the studio by documenting the recording
sessions through video and live streams. The band anticipates releasing their record in the
fall of 2024.
But for right now, the band’s attention is on putting together a memorable show at
Goodfella’s.
