April 15 2013 9:00PM -- doors at 8:30PM ••• 21 AND OVER $10 The Lonely Wild www.thelonelywild.com/home.cfm indie rock alternative Joseph Childress -----------Tiny Television canceled www.facebook.com/josephchildressband folk Cazadero cazadero.bandcamp.com/ western pop - folk rock blues folk country rock electric folk The Lonely Wild With songs that blaze through the dusty American West, quickly-rising L.A. quintet The Lonely Wild stand poised to release their debut LP, “The Sun As It Comes.” The first single from the record, “Buried In the Murder,” is a fistfight of a tune, thrusting the growl of singer Andrew Carroll against the bombastic guitar freakouts of Andrew Schneider. The track seethes with boiling tension over a backdrop of stomps, claps and screams. Carroll’s voice swells from contemplation to utter outrage as he copes with the loss of innocence and being true to himself when all the odds are stacked against him. Drawing from personal experience, the songs that make up “The Sun As It Comes” are pulled from a collection built over the past three years. In the fall of 2009, Carroll witnessed the death of his grandmother who had lost her battle with drug addiction, watched his band of six years dissolve, and at last married his longtime love. To cope with these moments of pain and bliss, Carroll began writing songs on solo, acoustic guitar. He would wake with a melody in his head, and finish a song by the end of that day. “It was a very liberating way to write,” he says, “Coming from my prior band experience, where songs were totally dependent on the collaboration of all the members, it was nice to be able to write for myself. It allowed me to be more direct and honest.” But Carroll soon realized that his songs demanded a broader palate than one guitar and one voice. He wanted to create a sepia-toned world, a cracked landscape, a wind-torn desert. Enter multi-instrumentalist Ryan Ross, whose soaring trumpet and rumbling bass and organ bring drama and tension, guitarist Andrew Schneider, whose blistering twang colors the songs with his 60’s psychedelic-western flare, and drummers Edward Cerecedes, and later Dave Farina, whose thunderous tribal beats propel the songs soul-shaking precision. Jessi Williams’ lilting croon solidifies their signature sound built around male-female vocal harmonies. Their first EP, “Dead End,” launched them on a national tour, earned them airplay on college radio staples, KXLU and KUT, and critical success. Of the EP, The L.A. Times writes, “[The Lonely Wild] rustles up rustic guitar pop that’s equal parts sweet harmonies and power chord bombast.” Kevin Bronson of Buzzbands L.A. says, “[Dead End] is five songs of aching Americana that will stay with you long after you’ve cried in your beer.” And Beat Crave writes, “The Lonely Wild have a sound like no other [...] the inexplicable heart and soul they put in their music is sure to have you hooked.” Coming off the success of “Dead End,” The Lonely Wild headed to The Hangar Studios in Sacramento where they would live, eat, and sleep for a week, to record their first full-length album. Midway through the sessions, they woke to the devastating news that their head engineer’s father had died, forcing him to leave. The fate of the record seemed uncertain. A day short and with a new engineer, The Lonely Wild worked consecutive sixteen, eighteen and twenty-four hour days to produce an album filled with gut-wrenching emotion, fragile beauty, and explosive energy — a band on the brink of delirium. “It was a true labor of love,” Carroll says, “and a sheer force of will, that allowed us to finish this record. We all knew it was the most important artistic statement we had ever made, so we had to pull out all the stops.” Upon finishing the record, the band headed to SXSW 2012, and returned home for the Silverlake Jubilee, Make Music Pasadena, and Echo Park Rising festivals. The Lonely Wild celebrated the release of their new single, “Buried In the Murder,” in September with a residency at The Satellite. “The Sun As It Comes,” is slated for release in April 2013 through Thirty Tigers / RED distribution. Spin Magazine listed The Lonely Wild as a 'Safe Bet' of showcases to see at SXSW 2013 Joseph Childress Probably one of the greatest folk musicians to live, Joseph Childress known by many fans for his lack of available music, but his utter perfection. His two split 7” vinyls have been released on labels Endless Nest and Empty Cellar. Cazadero Cazadero is a Western Pop band from Northern California, mixing Nashville jubilee with Pacific Ocean swells. Their debut LP Dusk for Dawn (2012) was conceived in nine weeks between sessions at Ocean Beach and Tiny Telephone studios in San Francisco. Hailing from New England, songwriter Joe Hayes was inspired after a series of trips to the tiny redwood community of Cazadero ("the hunting ground"), which rests a few miles between the Russian River and the coast. Paying homage to the tempered lyricism of heroes JJ Cale, Bill Callahan, and Jerry Garcia. Caz celebrates analog era "C&W"(Country & Western) and 70s Laurel Canyon sensibilities. Waxing poetic on mortality, the working class, and the struggles of Western migration, their latest offering Old Friends (2013) will be released in the late Spring. |
