April 24 2014 8:30PM doors -- music at 9:00PM ••• 21 AND OVER $10 We Are The Men wearethemen.bandcamp.com garage rock punk rock Terese Taylor (Record release) www.facebook.com/TereseTaylorBand rock and slow Porch porch.bandcamp.com noise rock post-punk progressive slowcore We Are The Men Danny Kendrick, Alex Rather-Taylor, Marius Atherton, and Paul Hanna. -From Rohnert Park, California. -We Are The Men is four songwriters putting their masterminds together in their quest for a genre of their own. Dissecting the sounds of 60's surf rock, 80's new wave, and infiltrating the San Francisco garage rock scene. Through this noble quest, they have developed a surprising and energetic musical identity which seduced the bustling Bay Area. The combination of their powerful riffs, mesmerizing melodies, nasty noises and psychedelic ambiance creates a unique sound heard only from their stage. Terese Taylor -From San Francisco, California. -The stripped-down acoustic production of Terese Taylor's Ghost seems neither ironic nor fortuitous by intent, but straightforward and real as the singer-songwriter herself. She is fearless, tackling a subject as raw as the fugue state, something familiar in rare moments, yet certainly brushed away when defense mechanisms kick in: One does not wish to remain invisible. Taylor's lyrics manage to be curative in their very utterance. Taylor adapts a keenly observant nature to all of her music, accounting for much of her appeal. Yet, even with a subject as heady as the conundrum of metaphysics, Taylor's storytelling involves more than the lyrics alone. Her poignant melodies and targed instrumentation blend with the poetry. In fact, her songs stand out for the blend of sonic and visual impact. Porch Todd Huth, Christopher Frey, and Michael Jacbos. -From Oakland, California. -Porch, from Oakland, CA, was formed in the early 90's by the ugitarist/vocalist Todd Huth (part of Primus along with follow on projects Sausage and Fearless Frog Brigade), the bassist Christopher Frey (Today Is The Day, Tijuana Goat Ride), and drummer David Ayer, who was replaced by Michael Jacosbs in 1998. In terms of description, Porch is delightfully difficult to characterize and define in a musical world that is ever trying harder to do so. As has always been consistent for them, they prefer to reference others' descriptions of the music they create, rather than concoct their own. |
