Waltzer TV is a monthly variety show streamed online in partnership with music venues around the US and featuring talent local to each venue. The initiative has subverted pandemic-imposed restrictions by creating a collaborative space for artists to showcase whatever they were working on at that moment -- everyone from actors and poets to rappers and country crooners have taken part, and musical luminaries including Patterson Hood (Drive-By Truckers) and Erika Wennerstrom (Heartless Bastards) have already contributed.

HEAR THE TIME TRAVELER LP

Earlier this year, Waltzer released its debut album Time Traveler. The album was heralded by lead single "Lantern," which earned accolades from the likes of Consequence of Sound, BrooklynVegan, The Deli and more. Hear "Lantern" HERE, and watch the accompanying stop-motion video by Kelton Sears HERE.

The album's release follows a very active 2020 for Waltzer -- no small feat for a year that saw many acts grounded before takeoff. Waltzer released singles like "I Don't Wanna Die," "Destroyer" (which was covered to great effect by Puddles Pity Party), and "Eugene," which was accompanied by a video by Wayne White (Pee Wee's Playhouse, Smashing Pumpkins' "Tonight, Tonight" video).

About Waltzer TV:
In early 2020, as Sophie Sputnik, a.k.a. Waltzer, was preparing for her first set at the legendary Chicago venue The Hideout, with a new record to promote, she knew she wanted to do more than just play her songs. It wasn’t just that, because it was the beginning of a pandemic, she’d be performing virtually. She also had a hankering to do something playful and fun, something to break the usual characteristic stuffiness of the indie rock scene down. Something that reminded her of the bizarro shows — like Pee-Wee’s Playhouse, 90s MTV, Adult Swim’s Look Around You, and Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, and even Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood — that she’d grown up with.With the help of her friend Robert, that something became Waltzer TV.
