The Wall Street Journal has published a brief write up about The Stepkids in regards to their show with us tonight at Brooklyn Bowl! Read the full article here, or grab a copy of the paper and check out the article on page A24. Either way, get yourself to this show tonight, it’s not to be missed!
Here is one last live clip of the band to show you why you need to be at Brooklyn Bowl tonight.
Wax Cactus is an up and coming San Francisco rock band, birthed from the tough streets of the Tenderloin. Despite their gritty origins, the band has been able to find a delicate balance between hard rocking heavy hitters and sweet soulful songs. Their attention to song craft, as well as technical prowess and showmanship, align them with the style and philosophy we still adore from classic rock legends like Neil Young & Crazy Horse and the Grateful Dead. Rather than coming off like a retread of those great bands, the band has forged a sound that hearkens to that golden era, yet remains refreshing in the current state of over processed, cookie cutter acts that dominate the musical landscape.
They’ll be joining their funky friends, Sans Pablo, this Saturday night (2/9/13) at The Connecticut Yankee. Give a listen to the band live below, and make sure to head down to the venue to check them out. Show starts at 10pm. Discounted tickets can be purchased in advance here.
future us performed a few tracks live on air at FCC Free Radio back in November shortly after killing it in our first show back at The Connecticut Yankee. Give a listen to “I Belong to You” and “No Good” below, and make sure to come down to El Rio tomorrow night (1/23/13) to see the future of music as Jim Morrison so aptly described back in 1969. Discounted tickets are available here.
Check out this awesome acoustic version of “Crooked Smile” by Moxie Kids. Chris hooks the listener immediately with an earworm of a riff, that leads directly in to a strong vocal melody. Kyle plays the piano instead of drums, but still propels the song by keeping the pulse driving forward. Give a listen and make sure to catch the band this Wednesday (1/23/13) down at El Rio. They start at 10pm, and will be followed by friends and fellow SF band, future us. Discounted tickets for the show can be purchased in advance here.
Moxie Kids are an indie rock duo based in San Francisco. Chris and Kyle are lifelong friends who have been writing music since the age of 11. With many years of experience together, and many years logged playing in other bands, the two have reconnected and spawned a new project that seems like it was destined to be. Pulling from the blues and rock’n'roll, as well as garage and disco-punk, the band has forged a fresh sound that rests it’s laurels on solid songwriting and proficient playing. Make sure you come out to The Connecticut Yankee tomorrow night (11/9/12), to watch the band open at TurnStyle Music Group’s first show in San Francisco.
Watch the band rock their song “In the Storm” live below.
