The Joneses ~
The Joneses were a punk rock band from Southern California. Founded in 1981 by guitarist and singer Jeff Drake, the band included numerous players over the years. The incarnation of the Joneses that was voted "Best Live Band" in the 1984 L.A. Weekly Reader's Poll included, in addition to Drake, three ex-Mau-Mau's, Scott Franklin (the Cramps), Paul Black (L.A.Guns), and Johnnie Sage (Christian Death).
The Richmond Sluts
Hailing from the Richmond District of San Francisco, The Richmond Sluts are a revved up rock n roll band that is timeless. With influences from garage, punk, psych, and rock n roll The Richmond Sluts are guaranteed to make you move, sweat, dance, and leave you begging for more…
The Richmond Sluts story began in 1998 by founding members Chris Beltran (bass) and Shea Roberts (guitar/ vocals) who met and shared similar tastes in music, i.e. the Clash, the Rolling Stones, The New York Dolls, and the Stooges. After completing the line up with the addition of Justin Lynn (keyboards), they developed a sound that was particularly their own. Upon putting out a self-titled Full Length on Disaster Records in 2001 and touring the US, The Richmond Sluts began to draw attention in the underground garage and rock scene, playing with bands such as The Brian Jones Town Massacre and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. After a brief hiatus the current line up consists of Chris B, Shea Rocker, Justin Lynn, KC Love (drums) and new addition Jesse Nichols (guitar), they are reunited and sure to grab your soul, shake your body, and make you wish they had never left…
Modern Kicks
If The Adjusters are my favourite international young gun punk n' blues band, then Modern Kicks have to be my North American equivalent. Modern Kicks spur my (ahem…non-sexual) infatuation with baby-faced boys in Rod Stewart haircuts, and they're the exact type of band I hope to find when I cruise for tunes by thin chaps in leather vests and Hanoi Rocks shirts. Listening to their debut, Rock 'N Roll's Anti Hero, is like being hit with a glitter-filled pillow at a champagne slumber party, and the mega-melodic hooks that power these glam pop songs are completely devoid of snarky intentions. Instead, the mischievous come-ons these Bay Area boy scouts employ are of the heartthrob nature, and it won't be long before every inch of their collective collar is covered in strawberry lipstick. They're playful biters, conjurers of cheap tricks dispatching poison arrows into exploding hearts, and the pin-up potential bursting from songs like "Don't Turn Out the Lights," "Crew'n Up," "The Price to Pay," "Another Girl," and "Riff'n On the Freeway" completely weakens the knees. But the way the whole album blushes with SoCal sunshine, New York drawl, red carpet romance, and shout-along choruses means Modern Kicks shouldn't have any trouble at all keeping up with The Joneses. If they ever decide to add some keys into the mix, I'm done. Bless these kids and their million dollar sound.
