Four baby girls are crying in their cribs, shaking their little baby fists at the heavens, lamenting the fact that fate has not yet united them. So begins this tale. Fast forward. It is 2007 and these same four girls are playing Ramones covers in Hannah's basement with studded belts around their waists and braces on their teeth, algebra homework strewn across the floor. Jump ahead. It's November 2011. The She's have just released their first full-length album that captures their youthful spirits and deep-seated friendship with tight three-part harmonies, sparkling, sunny instrumentals and smart, catchy songwriting. The She's sing songs that reflect their environment, their heartache, their relationships and aspirations. It's infectious. The Grinch smiles when he hears it. People start to notice the noise these four best friends are making. The She's gain momentum in the local music scene and open for bands like Girls, Surfer Blood, Thao and the Get Down Stay Down, and Yuck. They keep writing songs. Fast forward to present day. The She's are back and they'[ve got something new for you. It's dreamy and sunny and the ladies most mature, honest and enchanting release to date. 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.” 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. |
