2025 8:00PM doors -- music at 8:30PM ••• 21 AND OVER $13 Da Pupz facebook.com/p/Da-Pupz Punk Temple Beautiful Band instagram.com/templebeautifulband Punk Rock Golden Oldies The Radishes theradishes.com alt trash punk Da Pupz -from Oakland, CA -We are the type of punk band that draws from many influences. Like the OG bands. Manny, Troy, John Temple Beautiful Band -from San Francisco, CA -The Temple Beautiful Band has a twist, a San Francisco Bay Area Punk Rock cover band with its own twisted roots. The band is the brainchild of one of the original promoters who staged events at Temple Beautiful, Geoffrey Pond. Songs in the set list are "hits" from bands that played at the original Temple Beautiful between 1978-79 and that are no longer performing their own material. That covers a lot of music because Temple Beautiful was a significant venue for many prominent and up-and-coming local bands. The musicians all have serious local cred in the performing arts and know how to put on a show that summons the spirit of the age. In the late 1970's in San Francisco, the new forms of music referred to as either Punk Rock, New Wave or WTF... were in the air like spray paint, cross pollinating with the other arts known for their social conscience, biting wit and ability to work with nothing, all primarily supported in one of two ways; -kids who bought the precious few songs on vinyl in the few local record stores that had them -kids who went to venues to learn to be interested in the records and maybe score a t-shirt. The Temple Beautiful was such a venue and for a time between 1977-1978 Paul Rat and Geoffrey Pond produced bedrock Punk Rock events that both supported the existing acts, local and touring, and launched notorious new acts, Flipper being the obvious one to name drop in this context. Now there's The Temple Beautiful Band, a collection of local Bay Area musicians performing songs from a cross selection of OG Punk bands that performed at 1839 Geary St. but are no longer around to perform their own music, now that it's known that their work mattered in a big picture that endures. It certainly adds an air of authenticity that much of the band now used to be in the mosh pit then or paying the venue to make it all possible in the first place. The Radishes -from the Bay Area, CA -The Radishes are an alterna/trash punk band from the San Francisco Bay Area. Lineup = John Dumont - bass; Jason Fessel - guitar; Randy Leasure - drums; Paul Stinson - vox, guitar. "Fast loud snotty punk rock that reminds us of a cross between The Dickies and The Dead Boys...but with a much more modern overall vibe. This is a short little EP. These five tracks whiz by in about 13 minutes...but in that amount of time the guys in The Radishes make their point loud and clear. The band is comprised of Paul Stinson (vocals, guitar, piano), John Dumont (bass), Jason Fessel (guitar), and Randy Leasure (drums). All five of these tracks are cool hard rockers: "Last Call," "Blood Stains," "Jackals," Gotta Gun," and "Hot." A totally fun upbeat experience. These guys must put on one helluva show..." Babysue, Jan. 2013 "Once in a while, a band will release music that will reaffirm, and connect you, to that elusive belief of what makes great art. You know, those classic albums/songs (some of them of our own astute opinion) that hold a cherished place in our music collection. For me, after hearing The Radishes: Strychnine EP it's already occupying that hallowed ground.” I-94 Bar (4/08) “The group’s title track is a brawny, ballsy and brazing rock tune that sounds like it came from the streets of New York, namely the same streets The New York Dolls once roamed.” - Pop Matters review of Strychnine EP (7/08) “On their debut album Good Machine, The Radishes bring the sweat. It oozes out of ‘Suicide’ and into your hips. Their best cuts seem to have been sliced from the rock meat shared by Thin Lizzy and Motorhead, adding a touch of punk spice.” – Tripwire (11/07) “Snotty heavy punk. Dead Boys, Gorilla Biscuits. Good for picking up slutty Jersey girls.” – Hybrid Magazine (12/07). |
