Wednesday
July 29 2015 8:30PM doors -- music at 9:00PM ••• 21 AND OVER $10 Jamaican Queens jamaicanqueens.bandcamp.com/ from Detroit Pop Planet Booty www.planetbooty.org/ electro-funk dance Phone Sex Operators www.facebook.com/PhoneSexOperators Pop, Electro, R'nB, Rock, Hip-Hop, Live Electronica Jamaican Queens Ryan Clancy, Adam Pressley, Ryan Spencer, Charles Trees -from Detroit, MI Jamaican Queens is a 3-piece pop act from Detroit - emotionally insecure musicians combining classic pop hooks with some of the more abrasive elements of grime and industrial music. Sounds like Phil Spector churned out self deprecating rave hits from his prison cell. What these boys lack in their ability to deal with basic day-to-day life, they make up for in their obsessive-compulsive commitment to making home recorded pop music. Their forthcoming LP, Downers, begins where their initial release Wormfood left off, with more emotional density. Jamaican Queens is a songwriting collaboration between Ryan Spencer and Adam Pressley, rounded out by percussionist and philosopher Ryan Clancy. Spencer draws inspiration for his lyrics from his mercurial relationship with modern love, the undeniably violent tendencies of the human spirit, and his sometimes-debilitating bouts with anxiety and depression. Pressley tends to feel the most inspired by some of the more dark and poignant elements found on network TV. Clancy is the witness, the palsied hand that holds the pen over the book of Life, not yet prepared to act. The rare combination of these eccentric personalities, along with an encyclopedia appreciation of everything pop renders their songs challengingly unique and wistfully familiar. Don't fall in love with any one or all of them. They will probably leave you... with bedbugs. Planet Booty Josh Cantero, Dylan Germick, Rob Gwin -from Oakland, CA Planet Booty emerged onto the West Coast music scene in 2009 in the form of an endorphin-fueled dance party machine. Ever since, their singular obsession with making asses shake has led the band to embrace styles ranging from classic Miami Bass, Talking Heads, and The JB’s, to the modern beats of Major Lazer, Chromeo, and Daft Punk. With a lush array of live instruments coupled with electronic loops, infectious funk hooks, and a damn sexy sense of style, Planet Booty leaves all audience members sweat-soaked, electrified, and frantically trying to explain to their friends why this band with the ridiculous name is really really worth checking out. Phone Sex Operators The J-Train (Guitar, Vocals), TurnStyle (Vocals, Talkbox, Keyboards, Drum Pad), Max Wampum (Vocals, Keys, Production, Explosions) from San Francisco, CA, USA- The Phone Sex Operators formed in 2012 with the mission to bring better parties to the World. The band draws on influences from Daft Punk and Chromeo to Prince and R Kelly to move and groove audiences with their funked up dance music. According to one fan, "Their music makes you feel like you are wrapped up in a warm fuzzy blanket, just like the blanket your mom used to wrap you in before she had phone sex." |
