WE'RE HELPING OUR PALS AT THE BURGER BOOGALOO OUT BY LETTING EVERYONE KNOW ABOUT THIS AMAZING EVENT IN OAKLAND. IT IS NOT HAPPENING AT RICKSHAW STOP! GO TO MOSSWOOD PARK IN OAKLAND!
-----
Ronnie Spector
As the lead singer of Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees The Ronettes, Ronnie pioneered a female daringness & performance style that did not previously exist. With their sexually-charged persona, The Ronettes were the first women in rock to do for boys in the audience what Elvis did for girls.
Shannon & the Clams
The sound of a prom band in 1964 getting dosed with acid and having the sweetest lovelorn freak out. Imagine a brawling Etta James, backed up by the 13th Floor Elevators singing Shangri La's tunes. Shannon has a voice that can go from a sweet girl group croon to a bluesy ballsy growl before you realize you're headed for the floor. Do not miss this band live. Seriously. For fans of Thee Oh Sees, Nobunny, King Khan and BBQ Show, Ginny Arnell.
Juan Wauters
In 2000, Alberto Wauters left Uruguay to live in a basement in Queens. Two years later he called his son, Juan, to join him. Working at a factory, and with no friends to speak of, Juan turned to music. With his debut Wauters dreams big, sings rad, and films some pretty cool music videos to accompany.
La Sera
As La Sera, Katy Goodman turned an aching heart into two marvelous, alluring yet bittersweet break-up albums (2011's self-titled debut and 2012's Sees the Light). On her latest, though, the former Vivian Girl is through crying.
Hour of the Dawn sees Goodman waking up, throwing open the bedroom windows and welcoming the day."I wanted the new La Sera record to sound like Lesley Gore fronting Black Flag," Goodman says. "I didn't want it to be another record of me sad, alone in my room. I wanted to have fun playing music and writing songs with a band." To back her nimble basslines and enchanting vocals, Goodman assembled a new band helmed by guitarist Todd Wisenbaker."We started playing faster, louder and more aggressively," Goodman says. "I wanted to get that energy onto the album."The forceful new La Sera line-up set about fleshing out Goodman's melodies and lyrics into strapping rock anthems, debuting them to enthusiastic crowds on tour, and refining them with a new-found obsession to detail.After a year of perfecting their new material, La Sera was ready to commit it to tape. In the summer of 2013, the group decamped to a sweltering studio in East Los Angeles with engineer Joel Jerome and banged out the ten songs that would become Hour of the Dawn—an album that never walks, but runs, a collision of unleashed punk and '80s power-pop."We wanted to make a classic American record," Wisenbaker says. "The album was inspired by a lot of bands: The Pretenders, Minor Threat, X, The Smiths, The Cars and more."
The sound that emerged from these disparate influences combined hardcore energy with tuneful harmony, as exemplified by opening track "Losing to the Dark." Title track "Hour of the Dawn," meanwhile, rides a steady groove towards a long horizon of sunrise. It's the record's thematic center: a final wave goodbye to a messy past and the beginning of a new day. In a burst of bright, immediate and jangly Smiths-inspired pop, "Fall in Place" captures La Sera at an emotional and musical crossroads.
Hour of the Dawn, as its title suggests, heralds the beginning of a radiant and energetic new chapter in La Sera's evolution—the summit of Goodman's steady ascent to rock and roll queendom.
Chad & The Meatbodies
The perfect date? For Chad? It's really simple. We're in the desert or the mountains. And we get along & have great conversations. We're blasting music & we like the same music. The things we would listen to most would be Grateful Dead, Black Sabbath & Love. That's pretty much all I need.
DANNY JAMES
Last year's Pear, the latest from soul/garage/pop genius Danny James, is a prime example just how fruitful genre schizophrenia can be. Lying somewhere between Joe Jackson, The Brothers Johnson and The Move, James surprises the listener at every turn with his versatility and pop sensibility.
Summer Twins
Summer Twins are sisters Chelsea and Justine Brown. They write dreampop and rock 'n roll songs. They formed in 2008 with a focus on singing pop harmonies atop garage rock inspired by the '50s and '60s. Now in their early twenties, Summer Twins play live with Michael Rey on bass. They are signed to Burger Records.
