It's both quiet, classical bedtime story and traveling, rambling carnival party." Fritz Montana Guitar/ Vocals - David Marshall Bass - Kevin Logan Drums - Matthew Hagarty -from SF -Influences: The Black Keys, Jack White, The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys San Francisco based blues/indie rock trio Fritz Montana formed in early 2013. In Dec 2013, they won Live 105's Not So Silent Night local band contest and opened for Kings of Leon, Vampire Weekend, Queens of the Stone Age, AFI, Arctic Monkeys, and Capital Cities (Dec 2013) Aaron Axelsen at Live 105 named Fritz Montana's song “Let You Down” as one of his 10 Best Local Band Songs of Summer 2014! Their new album, Scaredy Cat, has been getting excellent reviews: “The entire compilation has such a great blues-y rock feel to it and every song makes you want to get up and dance. Each track starts out with an intense guitar intro and some catchy, upbeat drums with strong vocals pulling it all together. A definite draw is the great amount of rock influence paired with an indie vibe that no one could turn down.” Thunderegg Will Georgantas, Alex Jimenez, Reese Douglas, James Sundquist Jake Fournier, Ken Moon, Ken Matsuda, Russell Lord, Greg Zinman, Aileen Brophy, Keith Woodfin, Bob Porri, Tim Kane -West Coast and East Coast -Thunderegg is the band and longtime recording project of Will Georgantas, based for many years in Brooklyn, now operating out of San Francisco. The East Coast version of Thunderegg played at places like the Mercury Lounge in Manhattan, Union Hall in Brooklyn, and Toad’s in New Haven. The West Coast edition of the Egg (featuring Alex Jimenez on bass, Reese Douglas on guitar, and James Sundquist on drums) is making its way in San Francisco, having played at Bottom of the Hill, the Elbo Room, and Hotel Utah. Will also often plays as a solo artist. In July 2013 a classic four-piece edition of the band, featuring bandmates of almost twenty years, toured throughout Germany. -There have been at least 17 Thunderegg albums since 1994, some recorded with a full band, some recorded solo to an old-school four-track cassette recorder. The latest, released in May 2014, is the lush, beautiful C'mon Thunder, Thunderegg's second collaboration with producer Alan Weatherhead (Sparklehorse, the Comas, Cracker). Will grew up in New Jersey, so he thinks Bruce Springsteen is great. But he also really likes Ween, who were even more local. Other destabilizing influences include Pavement, the Velvet Underground, the Beach Boys, and Guided by Voices. Combined with smart lyrics, the result is simple, melodic rock that’s at once sincere without taking itself too seriously. After the 2006 release of Thunderegg’s incredible 231-song compilation Open Book, the New Haven Advocate wrote, “Georgantas’s melodies sound effortlessly executed, like he simply exhales . . . unusually catchy and inviting tidbits.” |
