Wednesday March 30 2016 8:30PM doors -- music at 9:00PM ••• 21 AND OVER $8 in advance / $10 at the door Ape Machine www.apemachine.com/ Rock Second Chair secondchair.bandcamp.com/ noise rock punk post-hardcore psychedelic shoegaze The Grand Escape www.facebook.com/natomamusic/ Alternative / noisy rock Ape Machine Caleb Heinze - Vocals, Ian Watts - Guitar,Brian True - Bass, Damon De La Paz - Drums -from Portland OR -The name APE MACHINE is a nod to the days of reel-to-reel magnetic tape audio recording; a fitting moniker for the heavy-hitting quartet as the band plays through vintage tube amplifiers and lays down its songs using exclusively throwback quality studio equipment. With a heady mix of animal aggression and technical precision, APE MACHINE's music carries an organic depth and warmth rarely heard since the time of rock's glorious early years (or your Dad's bad ass record collection) infused with an exceptional modern sensibility. When the mystical lyrics of vocalist Caleb Heinze lock in with the band's stone-cold groove, APE MACHINE demonstrates an earth-shaking ability to rock. A true four-piece, the group has been called "a rock and roll band with a finger on the pulse of the 70's and their asses firmly in the present" and "real heavy-psych for the iPhone generation" that delivers "true guts and glory rock and roll." Blending equal parts Rock n’ Roll, Blues, Stoner Rock and Psychedelia, Ape Machine is out to melt faces and pound the apathy out of otherwise jaded listeners with a wall of heavy rock n’ roll tones unheard since the days of bell bottoms, long hair and blaring tube amplifiers. Ape Machine's mission is to combine intense melody, cutting riffs and blistering live improvisation. Where many bands rely on meticulously rehearsed, just-like-the-record-parts, Ape Machine provides a live experience that is as unique as each evening it shares with an audience. Second Chair Andy, Evan, Dan, Steven -from Oakland, CA -The music of Second Chair is the idiosyncratic byproduct of an epic auditory battle, exploring the revelatory interrelationship between structure and chaos. Fusing a potent blend of pop, jazz, rock, and avant-garde experimentation, the post-punk/noise-rock outfit from Oakland, CA delivers a psychedelic cacaphony that is at once authentic, and sensuously traverses the farther reaches of human experience. The Grand Escape Andreas Tretner: Guitar + Vocals / Dave Gatlin: Bass / Eric Lepetit: Drums -from San Francisco, CA -The Grand Escape is a San Francisco based Kraut Metal band formed in 2015. Guitarist Andreas Tretner, formerly of Natoma, formed the band at 935 Studios with bassist D. Gatlin, a seasoned veteran of the Silverlake Los Angeles music scene with bands The West and The Capshuns. Drummer Eric Lepetit, who has played all over the Bay Area in the punk band The Mud Lords, joined to complete the group. Rock Cycle zine describes The Grand Escape as “loud and sexy music that you want to keep on repeat”. |
