October 14 2015 8:30PM doors -- music at 9:00PM ••• 21 AND OVER $8 Babewatch www.facebook.com/foreverbabewatch rock and roll garage surf Watergate Sandals www.facebook.com/WatergateSandals scooter rock Jerks www.facebook.com/jerksclub/timeline garage rock lo-fi surf punk Babewatch Peter, Chase, Eli, Callum -from Oakland, CA -Most often, drinking and hanging out inspires very little besides more drinking and hanging out. For the band Babewatch, however, it inspired a song … about drinking and hanging out. “Guys Hanging Out” was the first song they ever wrote, and it was exactly what they were doing when they wrote it. After a handful of drunken practices, the band started playing drunken house parties, and eventually Santa Cruz clubs. Just recently, half of the band moved to the Easy Bay, and they’ve begun playing around the whole Bay Area. Basically, they’re trying to take the band seriously—without compromising their dedication to drinking and hanging out. “Our music stays on the fun side of thing, maybe less explicitly than ‘Guys Hanging Out.’ Maybe it’s just a little more refined. It’s still lighthearted,” says singer/guitarist Peter Kegler. “We’re not writing any ballads yet.” Their early tunes leaned heavy on the surf vibe, but their newer stuff is more of a mixture between garage-rock and indie-rock. The twentysomething members of the band, who all met at UCSC, joke about their music being “dad rock,” but there’s a kernel of truth to it. When main songwriter Kegler was a kid, the bands that mostly inspired him were the rock, garage and psychedelic bands from the ‘60s and ‘70s—music from his dad’s record collection. Other members of Babewatch grew up listening to that music, too. “They wrote good songs back then. We all get together and go, ‘let’s do dad rock!’” Kegler says. “I guess it’s a deeper joke than I ever thought about.” Watergate Sandals toni jesi zan iz -from Santa Cruz, CA -Watergate Sandals are everything they claim to be, fast, full of reverb, and ready to crank it up. For all of you that jam to everything Ty or Fuzz and The Black Lips, this is for you, Watergate Sandals know how this garagebeat is meant to be played and they do it justice. So kick it into gear, the sun is coming back, it’s heating up outside and you now have the Band to shake up the neighborhood, Watergate Sandals… Jerks Emery - Guitar/Vox, Chrissy - Bass/Guitar/Vox, Braden - Drums/Vox -from San Francisco, CA -Wonderful surfpunk, with obvious college influence. Nice vocals and guitar. |
