Sally’s Diner is not a place. Oh, to be sure there are diners with similar names, but this is not one of them. No, Sally’s Diner is a band. A band started eight years ago in Stevie and Sally Stewart’s narrow, nearly shotgun, mint green Hollywood apartment. Stewart and his childhood friend, Kim Thomasson would … Continue reading
Brent Fiasco grew up a regular and suburban child. It’s hard to remember that as he lies on the floor, his face in a small pile of glass, a nervous volunteer standing on his head. He didn’t officially get into “variety entertainment” until high school when he learned to juggle while riding a unicycle, but … Continue reading
Tim Fogarty and Kristian Dunn formed El Ten Eleven in 2002. We caught the twosome last week at Harlows in Sacramento, CA. El Ten Eleven’s genre is not one that you can place easily into a category. They have been described as math rock, ambient, jammy, post-rock, and everything in-between. Needless to say they were pretty amazing. The two come fully supplied … Continue reading
The Pixies are one of the most influential bands to have come out in the last 30 years. Black (Charles) Francis (vocals/guitar), David Lovering (drums), Joey Santiago (guitar), and Kim Deal (vocals/bass) formed the band in 1986 and the music scene has never quite been the same since. The now overused term “indie rock” sprouted from … Continue reading
Think about that band that you saw 5 years ago. Remember how great they were? Remember how you left the show just knowing that they were gonna make a real mark on our music scene? Now remember how you can’t exactly remember their name? You lost that flyer, so now only small fragments of memory … Continue reading
The sad face emoticon used by Sad Numbers may seem like just another elusive aspect to the hard-to-define-yet-easy-to-enjoy band, but it actually speaks volumes about their music. Whether you catch that sad smiley on one of the CDs handmade by Josh Berkley (but painted à la DIY chic by his young daughter), or online when … Continue reading
The Croissants, The Strange Party, RAD, Crude Studs and The Moans played Luigis Fungarden February 28th. It was a packed house! Photos compliments of Heather Uroff Continue reading
Remember that dreamy song that plays when two lovers lock eyes in a hazy scene of passion during an 80s movie? Well chances are, whatever that song may be, it would sound a lot like Cruel Summer’s music. Their sound is for the pastel colored, VHS spinning, old school heart inside of all of us, … Continue reading
Duke Chevalier is not new to dukedom. He has crowned himself a Duke of various stripes since puberty, usually to be funny. It started out as a name to put on a restaurant waitlist. Now, with the recent addition of an inspiration from the Knights Templar, his flirtation with dukedom has turned into a … Continue reading
Croissants latest and greatest. Catch them at Luigis Fungarden tonight along with The Strange Party, Crude Studs, RAD, and The Moans. Well see you there! Filmed and edited by Matt Maxwell Continue reading
The thing about house shows is, the start time is irrelevant, a guesstimate at best. Saturday night’s show at the Chillanova House in Davis was a prime example. The concert was advertised to start at eight. Sitting on one of the cushy couches in the living room at two minutes past the hour gave one … Continue reading
On Feb. 17, the Crocker Art Museum celebrated Black history with music, dancing, crafts and interactive activities for the whole family. Periodic performances by Tina B and the Soul Line Dancers had children and adults shakin’ along with them. Marlena Norman, whose son and nephew, three-year-olds Johnnie and Jaden danced along with the group. She … Continue reading
Oliver Nickell, also known as Tree, creates innovative music that captures the beauty of living inspired. Ingenious lyrics compliment Tree’s infectious beats, which combine elements from various musical genres. This dynamic approach makes Tree’s debut EP ‘Demons’ absolutely transcendent. “Let me put it this way, if I am pouring every bit of myself into a … Continue reading
FUZZ is a gritty masterpiece. This Los Angeles based band consists of Ty Segall (drums/vocals), Charlie Moothart (guitar/vocals), and Chad Ubovich (bass). Moohart and Segall formed FUZZ in 2011 and attempted to remain anonymous. Obviously, the cats out of the bag and FUZZ is creating quite a stir. It may have taken the band a bit to get into the … Continue reading
This Friday night, Sacramento is in for a real treat. Five of the city’s favorite punk bands are set to take the stage at Luigi’s Slice Fungarden for a double release show, headlined by The Croissants. Following up on their split 7” with Union Hearts, released by Asian Man Records, “We’re In the Basement” is … Continue reading
The room is full of flashing lights, pounding bass, and over a hundred people well over the age of eighteen in prom finery grinding on each other and unabashedly singing along to Sir Mix-A-Lot’s Baby Got Back. Not what one would expect to find at an art museum, but this is the Crocker’s Art Mix … Continue reading
My experience with this concert started at five in the afternoon, when I arrived in Oakland to begin the long wait for a decent place in the pit. As usual, there were good and bad people waiting in line with me, and I even got to know a little bit about the couple immediately ahead … Continue reading
Stay tuned to hear what David Lovering had to say when we caught up with him and for photos from the show at the Fox Theater tonight in Oakland. Until then, enjoy at little Blue Eyed Hexe. Continue reading
We caught Lauren Cole Norton, The Lower 48 and Miss Maddy’s F Street Stompers at the Fox and Goose. Photos Melissa Uroff and Naomi Lucchesi Continue reading
