Thursday February 11 2016 8:30PM doors -- music at 9:00PM ••• 21 AND OVER $8 The Brankas www.facebook.com/TheBrankas/timeline (album release) rock ambient noise pop post punk mini And The Bear miniandthebear.com/ Power Volume Friends W/O Benefits www.fwobband.com/ Punk/Disco Sasscore The Brankas Taylor McElroy - Drums/Synth, Theo Slavin - Guitar/Vocals -from San Francisco, CA -The Brankas are Taylor McElroy and Theo Slavin, two polite young men who live in San Francisco. They named the band after Glenn Branca and though they got the spelling wrong, it still counts. Some people you've never met say they sound like Hella, No Age, but also like Pavement-turned-up-to-11. They’ve been playing since 2011, but actually started taking it seriously in 2014, thanks to a New Years Resolution. They have had a fun time playing out around the Bay Area, including shows at Bottom Of The Hill, The Down Dirty Shake's Residency at The Milk Bar, and their friend Jack’s one room apartment in Oakland, next to the freeway. They also embarked on a tour down to Southern California in September 2015 and still get along. Their debut EP “Exchanges” is set to be released February 11th, 2016. It’s something they finally feel pretty decent about, but you can decide that for yourself. They’re really hoping they can get it together and cover Mr. Mister’s “Broken Wings”. mini And The Bear mini - drums // - Bear - bass // everyone - vox -from San Francisco, CA -Mini and the Bear got their start in Michigan as a dance duo, Top Secret Robot Alliance, but later moved separately to San Francisco where they reinvented themselves as a much...louder group. "Power volume" is a "genre" the duo coined themselves, and they're currently teaming up with local artist Nathan Sharp to release an album - not on vinyl or cassette - but in book format. Amazing. Friends W/O Benefits Cadet Edac, White Trash Ninja -from San Francisco, CA -White Trash Ninja and Cadet Edac are YOUR Friends W/O Benefits. San Francisco's resident punk/disco duo have one goal in mind re-energize the docile music landscape that has overtaken the USA. Placing a premium on high energy performance and in your face lyrics, Ninja and Cadet are no longer playing nice. They aren't the band your city wants, but they are the band your city needs. |
