LATEST REPORT
LATEST REPORT 09/09/2026: We’re back in the studio recording new material, with a handful of fall and winter shows beginning to appear on the calendar. Portions of those performances may end up on the record, as they did with “Disappearing Ink.” We rather like that chimera of studio control and live danger. Show up and leave a fingerprint on it. Hear it while it’s still becoming.
Also: we caught Tomahawk in Washington, D.C. this summer and somehow ended up giving Mike Patton a bumper sticker reading, “FOR A SMALL TOWN THIS ONE SURE HAS A LOT OF ASSHOLES.” He looked at it and said, “Where did you find THIS!” He seemed genuinely thrilled. Twenty years ago, he had one stuck to his keyboard rig. Apparently some artifacts survive the decades and find their way home.
May the orbit bring you back,

mysterious realm of art-rock
From the flickering neon haze of Omahas underground, Vidal and the Shadowy Figures channel a sound thats part fever dream, part forgotten transmission. Vocoder and synth melodies drift through angular guitars while 8-bit samples echo like prayers to the void.
Founded in 2020 by producer and multi-instrumentalist, Britt Fiero. Their fearless artistry is featured in broadcast programs and films that dare to question the status quo. "Being independent keeps me honest." Fiero declares. For Vidal and the Shadowy Figures, it's not just music; it's a séance for the unseen.
