October 28 2015 8:30PM doors -- music at 9:00PM ••• ALL AGES $10 in advance / $12 at the door Michael Rault www.michaelrault.com/ from Alberta, Canada Psych, Pop, Rock & Roll Night School www.facebook.com/nightscool Doo-wop garage rock Dirty Denim www.dirtydenimsf.com/ Rock / Rock n Roll / Garage Michael Rault Michael Rault -from Edmonton, AB Canada -Michael Rault is a Toronto based singer, guitarist and songwriter fronting his own eponymously named band. A gifted multi- instrumentalist and arranger, his hooky blend of pop rock refracts an evolution of guitar based music through the ages. An era-defying mischievousness defines his synthesis of jukebox R’n’B, and acid psych as refracted through the experience of an adolescence spent idolizing the clever craftsmanship of the Beatles and the wiggy New Orleans textures of Dr. John in equal measure. After releasing a number self produced efforts on a handful of Canadian independents, Rault caught the attention of Burger Records in 2014. Still Not Sad b/w Nothing Means Nothing marked his debut cassingle on the label and earned rave reviews from publications like Spin, Stereogum & NME. Produced in collaboration with members of Fucked Up and Slim Twig (the DFA recording artist who’s band Michael also performs in), yet written and performed entirely solo – Still Not Sad / Nothing Means Nothing further rarefied Rault’s economic and modernized take on classic rock tropes. Having found a complimentary niche in the fuzzy, garage-centric Burger Records underground, Michael is poised to finally unleash his Living Daylight LP, recorded late 2012 into early 2013. As a recent transplant from his native Edmonton, the album is a melodically adventurous take on a classic theme – leaving home to make your way in the big city. Produced and recorded in collaboration with Renny Wilson (Mint Records), Living Daylight is a dynamic fusion of the past and future. An inclination for early Rock N’ Roll is perverted by a heady production sensibility akin to the warped contemporary psych of Tame Impala. As a document of oddball DIY songwriting Living Daylight (which will be released April 7th 2015) fits nicely in the lineage of records created by Ex-Edmontonian contemporaries like Mac Demarco or Sean Nicholas Savage. Expect a busy year in 2015 for this dynamic instrumentalist and performer. Night School Alexandra - guitar, vocals, Baylie - drums, vocals, Cheyenne - bass -from Oakland, CA -"My favorite sounding shoegaze that's current. Lexy's voice is so real and down-to-earth, butter and perfect." Dirty Denim Katie Rose - Guitar/Vox, Laura Svec - Bass/Vox, Raquel Reyes - Drums/Vox, Niki Kangas - Guitar/Keys/Vox -from San Francisco, CA Combining obscure sixties garage with 50’s/60’s girl rock and neo-garage punk, all girl trio Dirty Denim bring a refreshing bit of fan fetishism to the impetus of sleazy rock ‘n roll. Wearing their influences firmly on their sleeves, Dirty Denim are not genre “rock revivalists” in any conventional sense of the word. Although their brand of primal, from the groin distortion laden rock aesthetic certainly appeals to the vintage apparel set in songs like “Green Eyed Monster” and “Hit the Wall”, these girls aren’t trying to re-invent the wheel. Guitarist and lead singer Katie Rose cut her teeth as a rockin’ teen in bands like Arizona’s Tempe Tramps before gaining a bit of national notoriety in Bomp Records recording artists Hell On Heels and then in Portland’s Walk of Shame. Migrating down to San Francisco from Portland, OR with bassist Laura Svec, they eventually joined with Peppermints drummer Raquel Reyes to form Dirty Denim. They swiftly made their mark in the North Bay area gigging with local and touring bands at S.F. clubs like Thee Parkside and the Knockout. Following a debaucherous west coast tour with sibling L.A. rockers Dirty Eyes, Dirty Denim have left a lasting and favorable impression in venues from Reno to Seattle. High on estrogen and cheap booze, Dirty Denim will be coming soon to a dive bar near you! |
