Saturday March 12 2016 8:30PM doors -- music at 9:00PM ••• 21 AND OVER $10 The Pleasure Routine www.facebook.com/p.routine/timeline Rock & Roll psychedelic Cash For Gold wearecashforgold.bandcamp.com/ indie-surf-punk dream pop Greg Ashley www.facebook.com/pages/Greg-Ashley-The-Gris-Gris/472418479563988 of Gris Gris electric folk psychedelic DJ Corey DJ The Pleasure Routine Kevin Sofsrud - Lead vocals, guitar, Eric Mcdonald - Rhythm Guitar, Nate Tang - Lead Guitar, Vocals, Kirk Jacob - Bass, Caleb Bonifay- Drums, Lauren Kopp - voice, Tambourine -from Oakland, CA -Oakland sextet The Pleasure Routine is a throwback to decades past, when bands meticulously crafted vintage tones and timbres, capturing their moody and dreamy sonic landscapes on analog tape. Creating a musical language that is both contemporary and timeless, The Pleasure Routine transports its listeners to an alternate realm, where jangly guitars and atmospheric rhythms support the raw and emotional vocals of Kevin Sofsrud and Lauren Kopp. Much like The Velvet Underground, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, and Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds before them, The Pleasure Routine captures a sound that is conflicted between optimism, realism, doom and darkness, as evidenced on their upcoming 2016 debut LP Sugar Mountain. Cash For Gold George ~ drums, Stella ~ bass, Jordan ~ guitar/ crooner -from San Francisco, CA -Formed from the ashes of beloved Bay Area rock bands, this unlikely trio found an instant rapport with one another and began writing music they had long been inspired by, such as bands like The Zombies and The Shangri-Las, with beautiful harmonies and melodies melding together to a dark, hypnotic vibe comparable to Beach House or The Raveonettes. It is apparent from their dynamic set of haunting ballads and dark rocking pop songs that their location deep within the paunch of the SF Tenderloin plays an important role in creating the perfect environment for these songs to be crafted. You can hear that the dark underbelly and grit from these streets have seeped into their music, lovingly carrying the listener through an array of restless, catchy melodies. Meet your new favorite band from San Francisco. Greg Ashley Greg Ashley -from Oakland, CA/Texas -"The former Gris Gris leader, gone solo acoustic! Like fellow Texan-bred Roky Erickson and Mayo Thomson, with a little infused Syd Barrett and Skip Spence (and maybe even a little Jeff Mangum from Neutral Milk Hotel), Ashley creates atmospheric pop meanderings that are filled with sentimental purpose and dark fuzzy edges. ""Greg Ashley is a troubled young man and that's the good news. He writes and sings like he's felt it ten times harder than you hear it. Listen the second time and the avalanche catches up to you quickly. This kid's a star and recognition begins right now."" --Greg Dulli (Twilight Singers)" DJ Corey |
