EXCLUSIVE: UTA has signed popular comedy band Wolves of Glendale for representation in all areas.
Founded in 2022, and boasting a sizable following on social media, the band consists of Ethan Edenburg on guitar, Eric Jackowitz on drums and Tom McGovern on keys. They got their start when McGovern moved west, after a long stint playing piano bars in New York, and linked up with Edenburg and Jackowitz, who were searching for the missing piece in their trio. The first day they sat down together, they knew they had something special, as they wrote their hit song, “Vapin’ in Vegas.”
The Wolves took off nine months in when Kyle Gass introduced their tunes to Tenacious D frontman, Jack Black, who instantly took not only to their comedic style, but also to their high-quality musical talent. Black subsequently asked them to open for Tenacious D on New Year’s Eve 2022, in front of an audience of more than 4,000 at The Virgin Theater in Las Vegas.
Previously, The Wolves have also opened for David Cross and pop band Jukebox the Ghost. After playing Netflix Is a Joke Fest in 2022, they’re set to return this year, performing to a sold-out audience at The Hollywood Improv on May 8th at 9:45 PM. This summer, they’ll also be performing at top festivals Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo.
Recently wrapping their first sold-out national tour, The Wolves’ debut, self-titled album was produced by John Spiker of Tenacious D, as well as Doja Cat collaborator Rian Lewis. Future tour dates to be announced at the end of next month.
The Wolves of Glendale will continue to be managed by Levity Talent.
