THE BANDS::
Wingnut Breakfast
is named after the 'Wingnut Breakfast' served for many years to the unhoused on the stage at People's Park, Berkeley, every morning at 7:00. The band would play on the stage some mornings and then play for tips at The Mediterranean Café ('The Med'). Anyone present at the beginning could sit in and jam. The band's members included vocalist Alexa Cohen and guitarist/vocalist Prince Charles. The breakfast and eponymous band were well-known in Berkeley at the time. They played in various locations, mostly in San Francisco, Marin and Berkeley, especially at the Benefits for People's Park. For the past four years Wingnut Breakfast has played in San Francisco where Prince Charles lives. The band now consists of Paul Turner (drums and flute), James Conrad (guitar), Prince Charles (guitar, harmonica, whistle, kazoo and vocals), Ants Fujinaga (vocals, bass and whistling) and Miranda Smirnova (drums and guitar).
Ken Hammond,
the son of a church organist, started playing the piano, organ and harmonica at age 8. A pioneering professional in freestyle skiing in his 20s, a trained licensed social worker and lifelong lover of psychedelic music, and a friend and tour companion of the Grateful Dead. Ken has been playing open mics and jamming mostly in the East Bay for over a decade. Heavily influenced by the music of Sun Ra, Pink Floyd, and new age healing music, he has often played with local singer-songwriter Molly Thomas as well as with a group of rockers called The Storage Unit Heroes. All were big fans of Jungian theories. Prince Charles plays lead guitar and vocals for Ken Hammond, who also plays the synthesiser programmed with new-age Hindustani bass and drums.
Ants Fujinaga
is half Scots and half Italian. She invents and plays tragicomic songs (on the ukulele, shamisen or occasionally piano) replete with scientific and literary references, Balkan, Renaissance and Celtic elements, unusual rhythms (e.g. 5, 7, 9, 11, 13) and ornate vocals, tackling topics from social awkwardness, noisy neighbours, heterotrophic moral panic and human reproduction to toad rescue, nocturnal chronotypes, annoying morning road work and the starch apocalypse.
Mystics Cove
blends psychedelic rock, folk, punk, and electric dream pop music into a magical spell. Tonzi: Vocals; Oliver Levi: Violin, guitar, santur, flutes; Isaac Pond: drums, eclectic percussion; Hummingbird: guitar, keyboards. We make music that fills our spirits with life. Our mission is to lift local art communities off the grid, / so that they don't have to work for tips, / and can make art as freely as they wish, / so the light can shine through the mist. / Let's all work on this, / take a relax / and give the planet a kiss.
