Fast Piece Of Furniture

SEE EVENT DETAILS
Fast Piece Of Furniture
Fast Piece Of Furniture is originally from Toledo, Ohio, where Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist Tony Lowe partnered with drummer and record label magnate Jeff Nelson (Minor Threat, Dischord) to record and perform Tony's music, along with Bassist Mahlon Orrin and Keyboardist Erika Kuester. After a series of studio sessions spanning two years and audience-acclaimed live performances in the midwest, Dischord and Adult Swim Records decided to jointly release the band’s debut full-length recording Adventures in Contentment on May 25, 2007. Lowe moved to the San Francisco Bay Area that same year, and recorded an EP with a new lineup (2012's No Springs Honest Weight, recorded at San Francisco's Tiny Telephone studios and released on Adult Swim Records). Now, the only known all-T-town band on the West coast has crystallized with Tony Lowe, drummer Todd Swalla (Necros, Laughing Hyenas), and bassist Jeff Drudge. Fast Piece of Furniture returns to Neck of The Woods to rock and be rocked.

Verst
In some parts of the city, ‘two johns’ would just mean a slow night for a tenderloin hooker. But in the rock clubs and bars Verst frequents, we hope that those two words will soon be the code phrase for “an outlandishly melodic assault of postmodern proportions.” Former leaders of Pie & Richard Bitch (John Dickey on guitar) and Rule of Thumb (John Parsons on bass and Brandon Hemley on drums) have joined forces to create the kind of music that kicks you in the head and leaves a footprint on your brain. Mark Marvelous on guitar and keyboards completes the lineup.
We could spend a lifetime cataloging influences, but what’s the point? Just because we’re totally into polyester shit like Bread, America, and Neil Sedaka; acid-drooling shout-from-the-mountain aural candy like Lilys, Echo and the Bunnymen, My Bloody Valentine, and Hawkwind; and mythic hard-riffing slabs of meat like Sabbath, Zeppelin, Blue Öyster Cült, and Judas Priest, doesn’t mean we sound like any of that. Though maybe we do…if you put it all in a blender and jam your middle finger in an upwards motion on the purée button.
But yeah, if you like 70s horror and sci fi flicks, space, heartache, murder, and/or obscure and random perversions, then you will love Verst. This is rock and roll for adults—and problem children of all ages. Verst's debut album, Starship Crash, will drop in June 2015.

The Low Rollers
The Low Rollers are a fuzzed-out power trio that emerged from the fog of the Outer Sunset district of San Francisco in early 2011. What started as the solo project of long-time Bay Area musician and prolific songwriter Joel Murach (Paddlefoot, 86) with his brother Tom Murach (86, Tracorum) on drums mutated into something a little bit weirder and louder when they were joined by bassist Colin Peden shortly after he had moved to San Francisco from his musical home of Austin, Texas.
The trio is eager to explore a variety of styles, and Murach’s lyrics tie sometimes disparate sounds together as a unified whole. With their first album as a trio, Sun, Wind, Etc. (2012), the band's country-inflected sound ranged from psych-tinged garage to loose-limbed Americana. Their upcoming album Louder, (2015), recorded with engineer Tim Green at Louder Studios in Grass Valley, CA, turns up the volume and begins to come apart at the seams, with overblown guitars and short, loud instrumentals that allow the band to explore their love of classic rock tropes in miniature, mixed among banging, unhinged bar rock songs that smell of sex and booze.
