TONIGHT!!! THE SHARPS REMOVED + GEN 11 + DOUBLEPLUS ALRIGHT

Thursday, November 7, 2024

Google Calendar ICS
The Sharps Removed - The Sharps Removed are a new Oakland/Alameda Drum and Bass Indie/Rock/Punk duo. They only have two members but achieve a full wall of sound by combining driving and clever drumming with a bass sound that uses both a bass and guitar amp and a dozen effects pedals. The unique and aggressive bass playing allows the low end to rumble under high melodic notes. Even though Mike and Carlo have been playing for many years in various bands, due to the technical challenges of playing in a duo, they rehearsed for a year straight before playing out. http://www.thesharpsremoved.com

GEN 11 - With their 2020 self-released EP ‘California Grown’ & 2023’s single ‘Month of Sundays’ on Code 213 Records, GEN 11 continues the tradition of verse, chorus, hit ‘em hard, get out quick and do it all over again Rock & Roll. https://gen11.bandcamp.com/

Doubleplus Alright - Oakland’s Doubleplus Alright blasts out bite-sized morsels of high-gain pop tremor. For fans of: hooks and melody festooned with chugging guitars - Doubleplus Alright runs a little hotter than power-pop, a little cooler than *-core. Chris (songwriting, guitar, vocals) & Nik (bass) met long ago in Manatee (SLR 113, 161), Chris plays in blert and runs the annual Song-A-Day songwriting project. Mark (drums) has been in a zillion bay area bands. http://doubleplusalright.com

A TRIBUTE TO NEIL YOUNG - BIRTHDAY BASH

MALIBÜ BUCKÉROO

Imagine French uber-hipster Serge Gainsbourg en vacances in California. He starts out at the beach in So-Cal, then makes his way up to Bakersfield, with a little side trip through Laurel Canyon…

Malibü Buckéroo is a unique fusion of California sound - Surf’s lush ballads and driving rhythms, a full compliment of shimmering, slippery, psychedelic strings, and a hearty dash of twang, all imbued with a quirky mysterioso à la Serge - a little California Country Cosmique si tu veux.

“Who doesn’t love a tall, gorgeous blonde who takes Brian Wilson songs out for cocktails? Add Serge Gainsbourg and Neil Young and you have triangulated the one and only Lorna K, chanteuse du pop extraordinaire and my latest musical heartthrob. Love her madly.”

—Joel Selvin, author/journalist
