Friday June 8 2018 8:30PM doors -- music at 9:00PM ••• ALL AGES $10 in advance / $13 at the door Pllush formerly Plush pllushsf.bandcamp.com/ sad rock Spiritual Cramp members of Creative Adult spiritualcramp.bandcamp.com/ punk Fiddlehead www.facebook.com/fiddleheadma punk World Smasher members of The She's www.facebook.com/worldsmashersf/ ... Pllush Stan E Karl Dyl -from San Francisco, CA -An exciting new sound grips the Bay Area’s music scene as Pllush pushes the bounds of genre and style. Pllush 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. Spiritual Cramp -from San Francisco, CA -"Spiritual Cramp comes to the Bay Area in a time of need. San Francisco has always been a haven for artists, musicians, punks & freaks. But here, in 2017, these types have become more offhand than on–lesser, as if that side of our culture has been tucked in, put to sleep. But, no matter how much polish is applied, no matter how clean they try to make it, there will always be danger in the city. What we’ve learned from this big change is that existing in an affluent society can feel just as oppressive as living in a disadvantaged society, especially if one doesn’t fit certain criteria of the dominating class. Rock ‘n roll has always reflected disgruntled youth and its rockers often create sounds that are mimetic of their inner state–what is experienced in the day-to-day. Fiddlehead Shawn Costa Alex Dow Pat Flynn Casey Nealon Alex Henery -from Boston, MA -Fiddlehead is like the supergroup no one knew they needed until they heard. Amazing. Very cool throwback to 80's / 90's bands like Jawbreaker, Fugazi etc. World Smasher Colin + Jacob + Trey + River + Hannah from San Francisco, CA -"Music to fall out of love to" |
