Joel Gion & The Primary Colours
As the long term and still current percussionist of The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Joel Gion has helped to pioneer the current Psychedelic Rock movement. Now as a songwriter, he steps up to the mic to deliver his own tunes spanning many genres. Psych, Mod, Britpop, Shoegaze and Post Punk all come into play to create his very own sound.
With a solo album releasing mid 2014, Gion has assembled a new group The Primary Colours to deliver these new tracks live and to record future music.
The Love Dimension
Psychedelic garage punk country surf may not be the most typical combination of genres that comprise a band; but then again, The Love Dimension is not your typical band. Formed in September 2008 around the Bay Area, their time together has been more than fruitful with at least one new release each year, their last spurt in late 2012 came after teaming up with SF label Warrior Monk Records and the London-based "Smoky Records" for the releases of "Forget the Remember" and "Not Until All Beings Are One." With gigs and festivals on both coasts under their belts, their twangy, ethereal sound's fan base is expanding rapidly, and for good reason. As their influences span the world over, The LD's sound nestles into a midway point between classically secure and radically inventive. Their aura radiates a feeling that strongly fits their name; every track has a musically adept top layer with an underlying foundation of positivity.
Each member of the quintet contributes a crucial component of their multi-faceted, über talented sound; Jimmy L. Dias boasts a wide background of band experience, citing 90s grunge and 60s psychedelia as influences. His knowledge of hypnotherapy and shamanic healing elevate his guitar and vocal skills to master levels. Celeste Obomsawin's familiarity with music is evident in her dexterity with percussion, flute, harmonica, megaphone, and vocals, as well as her wide-spanning background of performing. Her Native American heritage is apparent in the group's music, with airy, dancing vocals and gently piercing flute lines woven in amidst electric guitars and warbly keyboards. Devin Farney on synth helps bring the funk in, and his loops keep the aforementioned funk going. Sonny Pearce's wild drum fills and clean backing add the extra oomph to each LD track and maintain a well-fit consistency within the band's sound. Tommy Anderson's bass lines frame each song and pull the music together with a deep, rich baritone.
The band's newest album is a shining tribute to their development in sound. "Create and Consume" is a commentary on consumerism in society, delivered in a sweet, clean package, bursting with depth and layers of sound. "Who's To Say," the fourth track, starts off slow and somber only to explode in a firework show of electricity and wild drum backings. Exciting is the best word to describe "Foggy City" as it bursts out of the gates with crazy tight drums, upbeat bass lines and warbly synth organ effects in a track that seems more sunny than foggy. The broadness of the band's skill shines through as sitar segues into wild and grungy electric guitar leads in "Like the Feeling of the Sun," where alien-esque effects pair up with vocals in a way that just works.
With an unmatched sound, and a message well presented, predictions can only match their affirmative aura; if you're a fan of good music and positive vibes, be sure check out
The Love Dimension.
Cellar Doors
Taking San Francisco by storm, fresh from opening for BRMC, The Cellar Doors are not to be missed.
"A true rock & Roll outfit, born into the slums of digital downloads and Facebook feeds. They're bringing the smoke and strobes and psychedelic reverie to this current scene from the one that's lived underground from the 60's til today. Laced with pounding bass and rhythm and reverberating guitars, this trio's unique sound it sure to pull any modern listener from their laptop and back to a live show. - Jewel King
Down Dirty Shake
The Down Dirty Shake is a rock n roll band based out of San Francisco. Formed in 2006 by the founding four members in their hometown of Merced CA. They've since moved up and down northern California performing anywhere and everywhere. The group is deeply influenced by the soul that was the 60's, and the central valley blues. It's very apparent in the music that they sound nothing like today's bands. The Shake has put out two self produced albums, a self-titled in 2011 and a live album from the Hopmunk Tavern in early 2012. As heard on the album the boys pride themselves on the live shows, incorporating: a didgeridoo, an organ, 2 electric guitars, a bass, drums, shakers, dancers, and a very energetic front man. The shows are guaranteed to be an experience, always unpredictable and tons of fun for everyone. As they say before every show "we're the down dirty shake and we came to get butt naked"
