February 17 2014 7:00PM doors -- music at 8:00PM ••• ALL AGES $20 The Lawrence Arms lawrencearms.org/ punk rock Nothington nothingtonsf.com punk Great Apes greatapes.bandcamp.com/ punk rock The Lawrence Arms Chris McCaughan, Brendan Kelly, and Neil Hennessy. -From Chicago, Illinois. -The Lawrence Arms got togther in 1999 after the departure of Chicago pop-punkers the Broadways, Slapstick, Baxter, and Tricky Dick. The collaboration of Brendan Kelly, Neil Hennessy, and Chris McCaughan produced music in the same vein of their previous bands: clever- often politically inspired- pop-punk with an aggressive, gritty edge. Asian Man Records released the Lawrence Arms' first album, A Guided Tour of Chicago, in November of 1999, while thier second album, Ghost Stories, followed six months later. Present Day Memroies, a split release with Asian Man peers the Chinkees, appeared in summer 2001. After 13 straight months of touring and drunken debauchery, the Lawrence Arms joined forced with Fat Wreck for 2002's Apathy and Exhaustion. The Greatest Story Ever Told was issued in September 2003, two years later Cocktails & Dreams, a compilation of B-sides, live recordings, and stray tracks, surfaced. Their next full-length, Oh!Calcutta! came in March 2006, followed by a statewide tour with NOFX. In June 2009 The Lawrence Arms recorded a new studio EP. Titled Buttsweat and Tears, it was released on October 27th of that year through Fat Wreck Chords both as a 7"EP and as a digital download. Nothington Jay Northington, Chris Matulich, Gabe Lindeman, and Ryan Donovan. -From San Francisco, California. -When Bay Area pop-punk outfit Tsunami Bomb came to a close in 2005, drummer Gabe Lindeman and guitarist/vocalist Jay Northington were left without a band, but not without their desire to keep playing music. It just made sense for the friends to continue writing and practicing together, and so that's what they did in an old woodshop in Petaluma, CA. They christened the project Nothington in the spring of 2006 and posted some demos online, though at that point, they still had yet to figure out what exactly they wanted to do with the music. A few weeks later, the duo hooked up guitarist/vocalist Chris Matulich, and with the eventual addition of Ryan Donovan, Nothington was complete and ready for action. The quartet signed to LA-basd BYO Records that summer and hit the studio. Channeling acts like Leatherface, Social Distortionm, and Tom Waits, their Southern-tinged punk rock first appeared on wax via the "One for the Road" 7" in late 2006, released through local indie Left Off the Dial. Their full-length debut, All In, surfaced in February 2007 on BYO. Great Apes Brian Moss, Rob Carter, Matthew Kadi, and Ryan Marshall. -From San Francisco, California. -Plain and simple, Great Apes are a punk band from SF. Minimalism reigns. Play it fast, play it loud, and make it stick. While all the members have been or are in an array of more complex projects, this band is founded on pop-sensible simplicity and the notion that music, much like a bio, is often at its finest when it's spit out intensely, with concision and honesty. |
