May 20 2018 8:00PM doors -- music at 8:30PM ••• ALL AGES $10 Stuyedeyed stuyedeyed.com/ loud psych-rock Bear Call www.facebook.com/bearcallband/ garage indie rock psych surf Milk For The Angry www.milkfortheangry.com/ psychedelic grunge garage rock Stuyedeyed Nelson: Guitar + Vocals Humberto: Bass Luis: Drums + Beer -from Brooklyn, NY -It’s spelled S T U Y E D E Y E D. Pronounced “Tie-Dyed” with an S up front. No, we didn’t originally intend on giving you a headache, but any type of comfort removed is always refreshing. This band was born out of a basement in the neighborhood of Bed-Stuy in Brooklyn, NY. Our music explores many vantages. It’s about perspective. Songs that stem from growing up on welfare and section 8, trying to break free from a system that is systemically oppressive against us. Trying to find weight in the existence of right now and not what others dictate for us. A perspective that showcases the anger, compassion, perseverance and strength found within. We do not make music for the cool guy. Our songs aren’t for the self important people drinking cocktails at a bar in a neighborhood they have no respect for. Our shows aren’t for the people who live for just being seen. This band exists to shake the shit out of you. We are not here to validate validation for the social ladder. Our sound is loud. It’s direct. It’s fuzzed out. Teetering on the brink of falling apart, but never allowing it to. There is a weight, there is a groove, and there is a message. We stop and we start. Find comfort in the uncomfortable. We are intimate, we climb on your heads, and most importantly, we are right there with you. As for the “we” in this industry mandated biography that I to hijacked to give it to you straight from the source, here is the band: Humberto Genao on bass, Luis Ruelas on drums, and Nelson Antonio Hernandez-Espinal (me) on guitar and vocals. Get up front. Free yourselves. Fuck the bullshit. Love the real ones. No one is cool. No one is special. Preach love. Fight for yourselves, the marginalized, and the disenfranchised. Accept everyone for who they are. Give in to feeling uncomfortable. That is where the change happens. Be here. Right now. Bear Call Skyler Warren - guitar/vocals Nikk Moreno - bass/vocals Aaron Mortemore - drums -from San Francisco, CA -“Back when I was young and trying to fit in with the cool kids at my high school, I thought being edgy and mysterious would lead me down the path to stardom. My ma, bless her heart, took me down to the local craft store and I bought some patches, a sewing kit and puffy paint. On our way home, I saw a guitar lying next to an old mattress and other discarded house-type items. I fell in love that day and never looked back. I brought that guitar to school for the rest of the semester. Never learned to play, no one ever paid attention to me and I sure as hell never got cool, but hot damn a baby was born outta me and I think I’m callin’ it Bear Call.” Milk For The Angry Dana Lindstrom -Guitar/Vox Matt Kerslake - Bass/Guitar/Vox Cole Bailey - Drums/Vox -from Oakland, CA -Milk For The Angry is a heavy psych rock band from San Francisco, CA. Formed in 2016 when Dana Lindstrom and Matt Kerslake met by chance in a vintage drum shop in the Bay Area. The two spent most of their time recording in their studio until meeting Cole Bailey, who joined as the drummer. Their first full length titled “Make Like An Animal” is now available through City Son Recordings and touring will follow. "Listening to “Upside 85”—or frankly, any track by the Cali natives—feels like stepping into a wonderfully gritty postcard of the Golden State. Perhaps it has to do with the fact that the band is essentially a living mythologization of what it means to be a musician in California. Or maybe it’s just something about the reverb. Regardless, it’s difficult to listen to this track without stepping back afterwards and thinking, “there’s something special here.” - The Deli Magazine SF write-up on Milk for the Angry's single "Upside 85" Lily Millman |
