December 11 2013 8:30PM doors -- music at 9:00PM ••• 21 AND OVER $10 The Bruises www.thebruises.com/fr_about.cfm Rock Lovers www.loversarelovers.com indie pop rock Upstairs Downstairs upstairsdownstairsband.com/ folky shoe-gazey indie rock The Bruises ----from SF Aja Blue | lead vocals, guitar Jen Black | lead guitar, vocals Clayton Vorheis | bass Tamara Waite | drums The Bruises are a four-piece rock band from San Francisco that meld classic rock bravado and indelible power pop hooks with unapologetic ease, by way of dueling female harmonies and a serrated double guitar attack. Lovers Carolyn Berk, Kerby Ferris, Emily Kingan ----from Portland, Oregon--the city of Sisterly Love. Lovers (celebrated lyricist Berk, producer and performance artist Kerby Ferris, and producer and percussionist Emily Kingan) craft an intimate portrait of female friendship, sexuality, and evolution as an infinite process. The three first encountered in 2002 after Berk’s near-fatal van explosion while on tour with an earlier incarnation of the band. Emily Kingan, then on tour with classic Portland feminist hardcore band The Haggard, invited Berk to join the bill. Ferris was their roadie. Years later, Kingan organized a meeting for her two friends and future band-mates in South America, where Berk was traveling and Ferris was living at the time, performing in various experimental electronic projects in São Paulo’s thriving music scene. The result was sisterly love at second sight, and prophetic premonitions of the creative collaborations to come. Upstairs Downstairs Tory Ford : vocals, guitar Kyle McGraw: guitars George Slavik: bass Isaac Bonnell: keys and more Dan Caporale: drums ---from SF "Mission-based indie rock band Upstairs Downstairs juxtaposes dark, atmospheric lyrics with lush folk-pop melodies, crafting the perfect soundtrack for foggy, rainy days in the city. " —Local Frequency music blog on Sfweekly.com Upstairs Downstairs was born in San Francisco in the spring of 2008. With a striking mix of thoughtful lyrics, folk-tinged melodies and a bit of feedback, the results fall somewhere on the spectrum between indie folk rock and shoegaze with a stop somewhere along the way for pop. |
