Saturday April 16 2016 8:30PM doors -- music at 9:30PM ••• ALL AGES $10 in advance / $12 at the door Diet Cig dietcig.bandcamp.com/ pop rock Plush (Record release) plushsf.bandcamp.com/ dream pop sad shoegaze Jay Som jaysom.bandcamp.com/ alternative rock Diet Cig Alex Luciano-vox/guitar, Noah Bowman-drums -from New York, NY -two homies just making tunes and eggs on the regs. Diet Cig is a pop rock band from New Paltz, NY, fronted by Alex Luciano with Noah Bowman of Earl Boykins (Forged Artifacts) on drums. The five charming songs on the debut Over Easy EP, written by Alex in the comforts of her bedroom, capture the innocence of adolescence and infatuation. Over Easy was recorded on Halloween 2014 with Christopher Daly at Salvation Recording Co in New Paltz, NY (Porches, Quarterbacks, Earl Boykins) and mastered by Jamal Ruhe at West West Side Music. Over Easy was released digitally and on cassette in February 2015 with the support of Father/Daughter Records. Diet Cig released 7” in September 2015, on Father/Daughter and UK Label Art Is Hard. Diet Cig is currently working on their debut LP to be released in 2016. Plush Stan, E, Karl, Dyl -from San Francisco, CA -An exciting new sound grips the Bay Area’s music scene as Plush pushes the bounds of genre and style. Plush is a four-piece originating from San Francisco, with members of local SF legends The She’s. While their debut LP, Pine, is a beautiful combination of surf-rock and shoe gaze, their auspicious new release, Please, encapsulates a completely different tone, both sonically and lyrically. Lush and warm, it has cinematic quality which suggests, somehow, that each track takes place in a different climate. With the angular and ethereal falsetto of Karli Helm contrasted by the hypnotic and unwavering voice of Eva Treadway, Please echoes a melancholic honesty that captures the album’s heart-breaking, yet insightful versatility, deriving from both Wowee Zowee era Pavement and Painful era Yo La Tengo. Sonically, the album embraces twinkling guitar tones that are blitzed with spurts of grainy fuzz, flaringly precise and graceful drums, as well as complimentary bass riffs that swirl and swoon each track, working in unison to pin-point these heart-wrenching emotions with clarity and catharsis. After sharing the stage with bands such as Ceremony, All Dogs, Ducktails, Sales and Creative Adult, they have proven their ability to blend seamlessly into wherever they may end up. Jay Som Melina Duterte -from San Francisco, CA -"Reminding me so much of that way Alex G songs got passed around two years ago, San Francisco's Melina Duterte aka Jay Som, has been having news of her bedroom pop creations whispered amongst friends like well kept secrets, and there has been imminent promise of a larger piece of work. There's a huge range of emotion and moods at work, where playful, power poppy garage hooks are pitted against somber, lush soundscapes." |
