Somerset Catalog

In the mid-2000s, during the height of Denver’s indie-rock era, the members of Somerset Catalog were in some of the city’s more prominent bands. Bryce Merrill, John Kuker and Trevor Trumble were part of Everything Absent or Distorted, bassist Georgina Guidotti played in Rabbit Is a Sphere, and Brigid McAuliffe could be seen playing in Pee Pee and Bela Karoli. Somerset Catalog began in the summer of 2011, when Merrill and McAuliffe, who are married, moved back to Denver from Indiana, where each had attended graduate school. Initially writing music for acoustic instruments, Somerset Catalog quickly developed into a full-fledged band with the addition of Kuker, Trumble, Guidotti and original drummer Matt Grizzell. In 2015, Misra released Lonely Fang, their debut LP (Merrill and Kuker were also part-owners of Misra at the time). The band has been inactive since then, but has left the door open to reunite!
