September 16 2015 8:30PM doors -- music at 9:00PM ••• 21 AND OVER $8 El Gato Dice elgatodice.com/ Alternative / Post Punk / Shoegaze Jackie Zealous www.jackiezealous.com/ pop rock Gosta Berling www.facebook.com/gostaberling Post-punk, indie El Gato Dice David- Vocals Guitars, Bob- Percussion, Uğur- Bass, Live: Nyika- vocals -from SF, CA -SF Indie duo Dave and Bob moved on from a previous project together (Disbelievers) and rounded out the edges a little. In 2013 Ugur Pece joined as full time bass player. . Dave's Cleveland roots had him in the surf-wonders Jet Potato and shoegaze champions Still Life. Bob cut his chops in the NC college scene, hobnobbing with pals from Archers of Loaf, etc. The two met on the west coast in 2004 and decided to bring that rustbelt meets college Appalachia sound to the big big city. And it works. Add Ugur's world view (honed at his days at Stanford) and you get a truly refined but gritty set of songs. You won't hear a million groups in SF that sound like El Gato Dice, but you will hear an eclectic mix of songs...some simply as duos, some trios, some as a five-piece. The format is not what's important. It's the way the sound makes you feel and move. And it's a manic kind of melancholy! It's Death Cab versus the Smiths. And the winner is..the audience! But don't take my word for it. Check out 2010's critically acclaimed Uno, and watch for summer 2014's epic-in-the-making Dos. Recorded in Berkeley. Grooved too worldwide. Jackie Zealous Eddie Curzon [guitar/vocals], Ryan Lee [drums], Zach Scott [bass] -from Santa Cruz, CA -Surf Garage Rock 'n' Roll comin at you from Electric Manland in Santa Cruz, California. Heavily influenced by nature's indifference, Joe, and Andrew. Gosta Berling Damon Anderson - Vocals, guitar, Greg Dubrow - Bass, vocals, David Goudreau - Guitar, Andre Julien - Drums, Vocals -from Oakland, CA- -Oakland band Gosta Berling combine mood, melody and layered guitar arrangements to evoke a sound that pulls equally from post-punk, dream-pop and shoegaze. Their first full-length album Winterland will be released in late 2015. The band have previously released two EPs, Travel and Everybody's Sweetheart. |
