Doom Loop Survivalists

Bay Area bassist and bandleader Ollie Dudek brings his tongue-in-cheek modern jazz outfit, the Doom Loop Survivalists, to Harlan Records. Featuring a rotation of top-tier local talent including saxophonist Danny Brown, guitarist John Metifjord, and drummer Andre Sumelius, the group takes playful aim at the city’s media-fueled “doom loop” narrative through relentless, high-energy musicianship. The ensemble delivers hard-hitting, groove-heavy sets that bridge acoustic post-bop with soulful hard-bop improvisation, odd-meter funk, and modern modal grooves tailored to the venue’s audiophile-friendly listening space.
