Royel Otis and Friko

Friko, formed in 2019 by Niko Kapetan & Bailey Minzenberger, is a Chicago indie rock duo blending post-punk, chamber-pop & experimental rock. Their debut, "Where we’ve been, Where we go from here" on ATO Records, features explosive and raw tracks. Known for high-energy shows at venues like Metro and Schubas Tavern, they performed at Bonnaroo. The album, mastered by Heba Kadry and engineered by Jack Henry and Scott Tallarida, reflects their Romantic-era classical and art-rock inspirations.
