November 4 2014 8:30PM doors -- music at 9:00PM ••• ALL AGES $10 in advance / $12 at the door  Frankie Rose www.missfrankierose.com/ of Dum Dum Girls and Vivian Girls Pop/Rock plus special guest... Cold Beat www.facebook.com/coldbeatsf Hanna Lew, of Grass Widow Pop/Rock ~ cheery indiepop Devon Williams www.facebook.com/pages/Devon-Williams/330146264598 guitar-ish pop ... Frankie Rose -Frankie Rose is an American vocalist, songwriter, and musician living in Brooklyn, New York, United States. She was an original member of the garage rock acts Crystal Stilts, Dum Dum Girls, the Vivian Girls and Beverly. -Frankie Rose spent a few years kicking around the Brooklyn jangle-pop scene before striking out on her own: As the most charismatic member of Vivian Girls, Crystal Stilts, and Dum Dum Girls, she was a reliable bolt of onstage electricity enlivening the often noncommittal presences around her. It was pretty clear, even then, that she was eventually destined for bigger things, but her first solo record, recorded under the name Frankie Rose and the Outs, still felt constrained by a reflexive sort of cool-kid slouch. Between that record and Interstellar, she has dropped the pretense of a backing band entirely, and is recording simply as "Frankie Rose." The implicit point is clear: This time around, she's going for it. Cold Beat -Cold Beat, the new project of bassist Hannah Lew, represents the best of new wave — in title, metaphor and roster of influences alike. -This sense of controlled chaos is immediately apparent on Cold Beat's first full-length album, Over Me. Lew's ethereal vocals, which are sometimes indistinguishable from synthesizers, are layered over shaggy guitars by Kyle King, frenetic drums by Bianca Sparta (Erase Errata), and Lew's own relentless bass. Fortified by stacked harmonies, she provides the bubblegum barrier against the tug of punky inertia present in her backing band. Even time is a system of checks and balances: More than half the songs on Over Me last less than three minutes, lending urgency and a drive toward resolution to every chord and every word. The dance between dissolution and danceability is inherent to Cold Beat, as are its references, both oblique and obvious, to its genre predecessors. Lew's coo in "Abandon" recalls 's in her Blondie days, and the band's staccato shouting in "UV" has written into its DNA. Devon Williams -from Los Angeles -Devon Williams performs a shimmering pop music that tempers sweetness and bliss with an honest, unguarded perspective. Williams' music is informed by his broad musical knowledge and diverse tastes; while the past echoes through his tunes, his song-writing skills, strong musical voice and arrangement/production prowess mark him as a truly unique talent on the scene. The past can be a window on the present, and Williams' distinctive blend of power-pop, orchestrated soft-rock, folk-rock and lush, layered jangle-pop takes full flight on Euphoria, his new album. |
