Formed in September of 2007, each member of Language Room brings their own unique taste in music -truely a melting pot of influence. Derived from different backgrounds and driven by their need to break away from predictability, LR is constantly evolving. More here: www.myspace.com/languageroom.
"Like the unwieldy title of this debut, Nathan Singleton's music is a hodgepodge of ideas and sounds. Borrowing from a broad range of other artists can only work if you're either extraordinarily talented and/or possess the cojones not to care while spilling blood all over the place. While Borrowed Guitars owes most of its success to Singleton's attitude, his mix of Chris Whitley, the Waterboys, Dylan, and the Old 97's is unparalleled, at times joyous, otherwise hoary and dark.
Their music is a provocative blend of rock, R&B and hip-hop, seemingly having evolved from ‘old school’ roots. An example of this odd, but alluring musical concoction is evident in their modern rendition of the Beatle’s classic, “Eleanor Rigby.” More here: www.sanangelolive.com/node/898.
Since the last time we'd seen Ember, a lot of big things had happened for Ember and it seemed to have lit a fire under their…amps. Their sound and presence was more polished. The songs that had been the strongest before now commanded the audience, and the band as a whole seemed more comfortable on stage. Even vocalist Chris Martinez had found his livelihood: someone had busted up all that cement in his shoes. More here: www.sanangelolive.com/node/2644. (Nothing More opens)
"Spiderman 3" fans be aware. This band's hit single, "Portrait of a Summer Thief" made the movie's soundtrack. They'll rock the Penny. More here: www.myspace.com/soundsunderradio.
Ghost Movie Rocker has a CD Release party and will be headlining the Deadhorse on Friday, June 13. They're giving away free tatoos and piercings (from electric Voodoo), free CDs, free sweat, everything!!! Show starts at 10PM w/ Saturday Night Shockers.
Having perfected the hard rock template by the late '70s with their trademark fusion of bluesy rhythm, crunchy riff and shoutalong chorus, AC/DC have been victim to 30 years of bare face rip-offs. Rarely, however, has a band sounded so gleefully exuberant in recycling old tricks as Broken Teeth do on this latest barnstorming release. Leading from the front, vocalist Jason McMaster, a bona fide monster of rock himself, has that rare duality of veteran expertise and the vitality of a man half his age.
Fueled by Keith Irish’s unique bass style, drummer David Irish’s screams, and lead singer/guitarist Karl Irish’s guitar work, the band blends influences from Gene Vincent to the Stooges. All three members are brothers with the last name Irish, hence The Irish Brothers. The band has had their current line-up since September 1998, though brothers Karl and Keith have been playing together ever since Keith picked up the bass about ten years ago. Since then, they've been spreading their music across the country.
Rock-n-roll is about to get blasted by a fabulous New Disaster and the misfits behind the trigger make no apologies for the wreckage. "I want to play rock-n-roll that's young, dangerous and heavy," says guitarist and singer Natchet Taylor. "I want music to be utterly depraved and beautiful like Guns N Roses, Rose Tattoo, the Stooges and the Dead Boys." For more, see www.myspace.com/newdisasteratx.
