2013 8:30PM doors -- music at 9:00PM ••• ALL AGES $8 April & The Paradigm apriltheparadigm.com/ Alternative Rock/Pop The American Professionals facebook.com/theamericanprofessionals Powerful Pop Matt Jaffe & The Distractions mattjaffemusic.com/ New Wave Rock April & The Paradigm Tim Bryant, Bilee Kilowatt, Sasha Lizarraga, Nicole Ogata, Dave Nahrvar, Sam Wheelwright, and April Labson. -From all over Northern America. -April & The Paradigm's alternative pop/rock sound is created by their heavy lyrical and melodic influences from the 90's rock scene with bands like the Goo Goo Dolls, Counting Crows, No Doubt, and the Cranberries; whose music is further inspired by the stylistic harmonies of new millenium artists like Imogen Heap and The Veronicas, and whose content holds a slight hint of sarcasm, strength, and edginess. After years of progression and band changes, April & The Paradigm really started locking down their image in 2013 as they welcomed Sam Wheelright, Tim Bryant, and Dave Nahrvar as their drummer, lead, and rhythm guitarists, as well as Nicole Ogata and Sasha Lizarraga to add to their harmony-heavy sound. Their image became the edgy, modern, rocker, pin-up, 1950's look- to represent the bands' mission to stay true to a raw recording, a raw performance, without auto-tune, without enhancements, just like back in the day- but incorporated with the modern era, with modern flavor, and modern styles musically and fashionably. The American Professionals Chuck Lindo, Cheryl Hendrickson, and Adam White. -From San Francisco, California. -The American Professionals take their cleverly crafted songs of hope, love, guilt, and fear, pepper them with melodic twists and lush harmonies, then shoot them out of a cannon at your earholes. Sometimes they get quiet and pretty,ethereal, even a bit spooky, then turn around and blow stuff up again. They are powerful, upbeat, charismatic, and bursting at the seams with character. Quick rhythms and catchy guitar riffs complement the solid pop vocals and harmonies, making for songs with plenty of hooks and twists. Matt Jaffe & The Distractions Matt Jaffe, Sammie Fischer, and Alex Coltharp. -From San Francisco Bay Area, California -Matt Jaffe & The Distractions is a rock trio of 18-year-olds based in San Francisco. The group formed after Talking Heads guitarist and keyboardist Jerry Harrison discovered Matt performing solo at an open mic and decided to produce his music. Together, and with the rhythm section force of Alex Coltharp and Sammie Fischer, they are working on the band's debut album of original material in the vein of The Clash and Elvis Costello. |
