ANTiSEEN + Hellstomper Wed 05/22/2013 Doors: 8:00 PM ANTiSEEN Hellstomper The Costanzas JIMJONES Antiseen is an American punk rock band formed in Charlotte, North Carolina by vocalist Jeff Clayton and guitarist Joe Young, the sole members to have remained for the entire existence of the group. The name "Antiseen" serves as a deliberate deviation of the phrase "anti-scene" - the group not wishing to adhere to standard perceptions of punk rock in specifically and rock music in general. Musically Antiseen draw influence from groups like the Ramones or Stooges; employing short, heavily distorted chord-driven songs largely free of guitar solos or advanced musicianmanship. The band has a catalogue of over 100 LPs, EPs, CDs and DVDs recorded with various line-ups and have performed all over the world. |

The Mowgli's Wed 05/29/2013 Doors: 8:00 PM The Mowgli's American Authors Five childhood friends from the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles, augmented by 3 mid-western transplants, The Mowgli's are a quintessential California band. Inspired by the magnetism of San Francisco, the grind of Los Angeles and the serenity of the Big Sur Coast, their songs are a joyous revival of rock n' roll, a twisting indie-folk dance and a heartfelt protest ballad. Sliding from indie pop to country and a host of genres in between, the band evokes modern artists such as Fun., Grouplove and Edward Sharpe And the Magnetic Zeros, whilst having their roots in the music of Neil Young, The Byrds, The Beach Boys and Fleetwood Mac. |

Blue-Eyed Son Sun 06/02/2013 Doors: 8:00 PM Blue-Eyed Son (Eenie Meenie Records) The Shieks Sierra Brown Andrew Heilprin a.k.a. Blue-eyed Son was born in the Midwest -- Wisconsin to be precise -- but he did his growing up in sunny Santa Barbara, California. After graduation from college and in between surfing excursions to exotic locales around the globe, he worked odd jobs and eventually formed the "sonic surf smoke punk" band 40 Watt Domain with a few friends. The sun shines warm on the deep blue sea...and all you have to do is listen. Says Blue-eyed Son, "Surfing and music have ways of transporting our minds and bodies to incredible new worlds, places that are both scary and intimidating yet filled with the most profoundly ridiculous beauty you will ever experience. If my songs express a small part of that feeling, then I'm happy." |

Coliseum Mon 06/03/2013 Doors: 8:00 PM Coliseum (Temporary Residence) Two Snakes + 1 local "Musical progression tends to come at the expense of quality or ethics, and Coliseum have sacrificed neither. Though punk-rock may have been the template (and paradigms DO shift), songwriting and emotional content have become Coliseums focus, and to that end they have gracefully transitioned from the unrelenting anger, rage, and rawness of youth to a more thought-provoking, yet no-less-powerful or insightful sound that is entirely their own." - John Baizley of Baroness |

Across Tundras + Hellbender Sat 06/08/2013 Doors: 7:30 PM Across Tundras (Neurot Recordings) Hellbender We The Undead Mordant Messenger Birthed from the open spaces of the western United States and now nestled in Nashville, Tennessee; Across Tundras has been a band which has always been able to convey the feeling of being in the presence of severity through their music. The classic power trio of have delivered a honest and powerful statement of new American music; while layered the ghosts of those who never escaped the perils of the Badlands, or were strung and hanged for the deeds of more powerful men. Their latest effort, "Sage," easily proves to easily be their most personally artistic yet. Listening to this record you are hearing a band that has grown into what it always dreamed to be. The album brings together those influences that make Across Tundras so unique, the classic vibes of Johnny Cash and Neil Young, to the ominous heaviness of Black Sabbath and Neurosis, all points visited between, in a cohesive and natural way. It's organic, progressive, and heavy as all hell. |

Jovontaes Sun 06/09/2013 Doors: 8:00 PM Jovontaes Kill The Reflection Palmer Named after 90s street skater Jovontae Turner, Jovontaes are a group of kids from the Lexington, KY community, tearing up both the psych and skateboarding scenes. Not doing what you'd expect from a bunch of skaters, these dudes are making caveman psych rock (with hints of surf and kraut) like a scaled down Eternal Tapestry yet still sounding way weirder than the standard psych-jam band trying to live in the past of the 60s. |

In spades. A Hernandez song weaves through gypsy style violin and New Orleans-flavored horns, funky rhythm patterns and strikingly detailed dynamics. Her tunes boast a rich, three-dimensional, cinematic cascade, running from gentle and serene to dramatic, swirling crescendos that convey beauty in their near chaos. |

Radar Brothers + Ola Podrida Fri 06/21/2013 Doors: 8:00 PM Radar Brothers (Merge Records) Ola Podrida (Western Vinyl) Western Residents Ten years running without a single mention in Pitchfork or Rolling Stone confirms Radar Brothers' slept-on status. Certainly their style is not groundbreaking, their persona anything but glamorous, but Jim Putnam's craftsmanship as a songwriter and in the studio has earned him a reputation as a musician's musician. He is adept at navigating the musical landscape bordered by Neil Young, Son Volt, and Grandaddy. Ola Podrida, the brainchild of David Wingo, was born in early 2005, after Wingo had returned to his native Texas from New York. Although he had played instruments throughout high school and college and even composed the scores for friend David Gordon Green's movies George Washington, All the Real Girls, and Undertow, he had yet to make anything as a singer or songwriter. He recorded the songs on what would later be his debut album alone in his basement before shifts at the video store where he worked, but brought on friends guitarist Robert Patton and drummer Matthew Frank for his live show. All three musicians moved to Brooklyn in 2006, where they added Johnny Christ on keyboards and guitars and American Analog Set singer Andrew Kenny on bass. In the spring of 2007 Plug Research released Ola Podrida, and Wingo continued to work on film scores, including Todd Rohal's The Guatemalan Handshake and Craig Zobel's Great Wall of Sound, which premiered at the 2007 SXSW festival in Austin. |

Water District Band + Kill The Reflection + Sticky Stranglets Wed 06/26/2013 Doors: 8:00 PM Water District Band Kill The Reflection Sticky Stranglets ...The term indie rock band has been abused by those who think it simply means your are unsigned or on a small indie label. The truth is, you must also have an industrial sort of untamed sound that flies in the face of the musical norm. Water District is a perfect description of what a true indie rock band is. One listen to this Los Angeles band and you will immediately hear that organic and untamed sound that I'm talking about..." |

The new album builds upon the moody, soulful and epic sound captured on 'Mercy', but with a greater sense of urgency that transcends the music's emotional pitch. |

Pinback Fri 09/20/2013 Doors: 8:00 PM Pinback TBA We have a tendency to take consistency for granted. Like a sunny Southern California day, Pinback have delivered record after record of mightily addictive indie pop since their inception in the late 1990s. Perhaps too melancholic and thoughtful to function as escapist entertainment, that same sense of depth is what made them one of the most reliable bands in indie rock's three-decade history. |
