Saoshyant’s roots began 6 years ago when guitarist Scott Beckman joined bassist Jeff Newsom in the modern rock cover band ‘A Vicious Cycle’. AVC actively performed at Denver’s A-list cover band venues (Eck’s Saloon, No Excuses, Brewski’s, Iliff Park Saloon, etc.) for more than a year. During that time, Scott began writing original music on the side and was later joined by Jeff to form a writing project called ‘Apostasy’.
When the cover band ended, they teamed-up with drummer Brodie Liberato, who had been playing in the local cover band 'Chaser', and a vocalist to form the original hard rock band ‘Evolve’. Evolve built a dedicated following and performed at Denver’s premier live music venues (Gothic Theatre, Ogden Theatre, Bluebird Theater, Herman's Hideaway, etc.) for nearly 2 years. They played alongside several touring national and international acts, and were a featured Pepsi Smash artist on Yahoo! Music. Eventually they recorded a 6 song EP with a different vocalist in a studio project called ‘Somnea’, but are mostly known for their live shows.
More than a year would pass before the trio once again joined forces. What they have created is the original progressive rock band Saoshyant. The sound is dynamic and melodic; complex and technical, yet highly artistic. Saoshyant is the realization of their collective vision.
