Devil Kats Wednesday Rock N Roll Social w/Judgement Day, Devotionals (mem of Two Gallants) + West By Swan
Lost On Main (Chico, CA) 319 Main Street Chico, CA Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : =JUDGEMENT DAY= Brothers Anton and Lewis Patzner of Judgement Day have been perfecting their unique, high-energy brand of string metal for over half a decade now. Their innovative style and lightning-quick chops on violin and cello have earned them US and European tours with buzz bands like Mates of State, dredg, and guest spots on the albums of heavy-weights like Bright Eyes and Slash (yes, Guns n Roses shredding, top hat wearing Slash!) Add to the line-up the heavy-hitting, double-kick-pedaling drummer Jon Bush and an extensive array of vintage effects pedals and youve got an unstoppable, instrumental force. Judgement Day is currently on the cover of Performer Magazine! Judgement Day HERES WHAT WRITERS ARE SAYING: More than a few orchestra string players have fantasized about what their instruments would sound like played through effects pedals and amplifiers. Its difficult to think of many people who pull it off like the guys in the Oakland trio Judgement Day -- Performer Magazine Music that is brave in its attempt to create something innovative while still kicking so much ass. -- Submerge Magazine I loved what I heard. Its a mix of progressive rock and classical with strings played through distortion pedals and other effects. Its very fun. -- Bob Boylon, NPRs All Songs Considered With a brutal, driving force, Judgement Day crafts hyperactive riffs, intricate arpeggios, and syncopated breakdowns. Needing only violin, cello, and drums, this trio is more metal than you. -- Alarm Magazine _________________________________________ Peacocks/ Pink Monsters Independently Released April 13th, 2010 Judgement Days latest release is in every an expansion of the trios already-unique, guitarless sound. Vintage effects pedals, improvisation and orchestral arrangements are all key components, broadening the scope of the records songs from the deep, dark depths of brutal metal to the iridecent grandeur of outer space. For more mp3s please contact: anton@stringmetal.com _________________________________________ Hi-res photos, full bio and press archive are available at Judgement Days press assets page: http://stringmetal.com/judgementday/press Visit the band online: http://stringmetal.com/ Facebook.com/JudgementDay For further information please contact Anton Patzner: anton@stringmetal.com =DEVOTIONALS= patience...there seems to be a consistent whisper for constant presence and restraint amidst the inclinations of these summer fraught days. Time is due, and in due time... Thankyou for Your patience with me. But let us speak of spring... from a spell of hibernation: in the transience of this early 2010, among the gathering of the trembling pieces into place, there has been a date set for the release of the Devotionals record: the album will be released on Alive Records (alive-totalenergy.com) and will be available in most record stores July 13th. Having excavated these sounds from within under the sensitive eye of Donny Newenhouse at Center of the Mile, in the depths of Capp st. San Francisco- i have been humbled to be joined by Anton Patzner and Lewis Patzner (Judgment Day), Andrew Maguire (Honeycomb), and Jeff Blair in the process of invigorating the songs into their own life.

Devil Kats Wednesday Rock N Roll Social w/ The Shimmies and Smile Brigade
Lost On Main (Chico, CA) 319 Main Street Chico, CA Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : =THE SHIMMIES= "The Shimmies are well-versed in rock n rolls beautifully pock-marked history--introspective and loud, elegant and ramshackle. This is a lifestyle more than a rock band. If you are listening, congratulations on your impeccable taste."-- Mark Lore, TheDaysofLore.com "The Shimmies are probably without question the most talented band I have seen in this part of the country." -Bill Fishkin, CEO Synthesis Magazine; CEO Division72 Media "The Shimmies" songs are packed with a strong sense of atmosphere, layered with beautiful harmonies, piano and guitars that shift effortlessly from spacey passages to distorted riffing and solos. Their music also packs quite an emotional wallop, thanks in large part to the range of the vocals, which are just as likely to bask in the hushed beauty of a quiet melody as they are to tear the house down with a fierce scream." -Landon Moblad, Chico News & Review "The Galloway brothers make music that will make you feel things you thought only the likes of songwriters like Elliott Smith or Jeff Mangum could. The addition of drummer Jack Gingrich to this family band has spawned the band that will eventually put Chico on the map as the hometown of one of the worlds most loved rock bands." -I Heart Chico Bands, (http://www.myspace.com/iheartchicobands) "With admitted influences including Elliott Smith, William S. Burroughs, Mark Mothersbaugh, and Daniel Johnston, they have created a sound that is self-indulgently introspective, comforting, and explosively cathartic." -Matt Mattlock, Synthesis Magazine. Genre: Indie/Alternative/Garage Web:www.myspace.com/theshimmiesband =SMILE BRIGADE= NEW ALBUM OUT IN AUGUST "DO YOU COME HERE OFTEN?" THR004 ON TILTON HOUSE RECORDS In the Grand DIY fashion!

It is laced with eleven melodic ditties that ebb and flow within themselves and into each other like glorious, garagey, psychedelic waves on a mostly tranquil sea. The Smile Brigade has played, and plans to play many many shows within and outside Seattle.They have scored opening slots for such national notables such as Modest Mouse, the Dutchess and the Duke,Evan Dando of the lemonheads,Built to Spill, Damien Jurado and Of Montreal.As well as countless other lesser known bands during their myriad live performances.

Devil Kats Wednesday Rock N Roll Social w/Spindrift, Candy Apple, Chief Nowhere and Dead Ken
Lost On Main (Chico, CA) 319 Main Street Chico, CA Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : =SPINDRIFT= Dear Stranger, All Heart and Hell bent- we rise with the ether. As we ride across the sky, we employ our sonic homing devices. We have a song for the lone star that shines across this desert wasteland... a raga, for the high planes drifter... a lullaby for each and every bastard child, adrift in a formless world. Space is thick with wormholes, and the nests of baby rattlesnakes. We know. This is the place we lay our heads. We are Spindrift. Go West, my friend... West, where the stage is set... West, into the sunset. Ride. This is music. This is vindication!... in the form of an invitation, delivered by the winds whisper into your ear. You Stranger, have stumbled upon black-mirrored waters that shimmer with the Nights darkest of promises. It flows and laps out the song of the wanderers lament. The melody lifts you, and drifts through you, with fingers of smoke. Centuries of mans invention, have now gathered all about you in a mystical mass. "Come with us." The sound beckons from a fiery place within. All Heart and Hell bent, we have woven a carpet of stars for the very purpose of riding into your soul. We are Spindrift. -Cameron Murray Genre: Psychedelic Web: www.myspace.com/thewest =CANDY APPLE= There was a time, though it may seem distant, when American underground rock n roll was ruled by sounds now oft forgotten; the shrill screams of a Farfisa organ, the gritty punch of a hollow-body guitar, frenetic drums behind delicious bass licks, and the irresistible clashing of a tambourine. These are the echoes of garage rock: rhythm and blues on a strung out bender, gallivanting about with a dip in the hip and a mop on the top. Thankfully this spirit has not been left entirely in the past. Candy Apple, hailing from Chico, CA, is living proof. Five members strong, Candy Apple is comprised of Scott Barwick (vocals, organ), Jake Sprecher (vocals, guitar), Katie Kelley (bass) and Slee Jensen (drums). Guided by the power of Farfisa organ, the group summons enticing demons from the likes of The Standells, Rocky Erickson, The Count Five, and The Sonics. Genre: Garage/Soul Web: www.myspace.com/candyapplegarage =Chief Nowhere= In their self-titled and self-produced debut album, Chief Nowhere weaves mind-bending musical tapestries ranging from heavy darkness to mellow space. The album was recorded at the committee to keep music evil! Headquarters by engineer Rob Campanella whose credits include The Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Black Angels, Dead Meadow, The Quarter After, and Mia Doi Todd. Using a variety of instruments to compliment their design and style, Chief Nowhere seeks to free itself of any one particular derivative while maintaining an original and cohesive sound.

To make a long story short Professor Greg has been practicing his video gaming skills on the Timewasterator.

While in the future we saw all of you at the shows listed below. You danced to the new songs and all the Phenoma-gadgets worked and since you brought all of your friends you were the toast of the planet. After the show you bought a Phenomenauts T-Shirt with the new design which landed you that high paying modeling contract. Now that we have told you what the future holds dont mess around. Not going could create a time paradox the result of which could cause a chain reaction that would unravel the very fabric of the space-time continuum and destroy the entire universe! Granted thats a worst case scenario. The destruction might in fact be very localized limited to merely our own galaxy. The Future is in your hands....

At approximately 3:10 p.m., city of Chico firefighters responded to a house fire at 269 E. 12th Street, after receiving a report from the resident that the home was on fire. City of Chico Fire Inspector Marie Fickert said the resident, Samantha Perry, and her young daughter left their south Chico home just after 2 p.m. for a bicycle ride. The pair returned to the home less than a hour later to find smoke and flames coming from the back of the house. Perry immediately called 9-1-1, with four city fire engines, one city fire truck, one volunteer crew and one Cal Fire-Butte County engine responding to the blaze. Firefighters quickly contained the fire, though the flames destroyed most of the contents of the home. The house itself also sustained major fire damage. The familys dog, which was in the backyard at the time of the fire, escaped injury and was safely returned to Perry. Fickert said the cause of the fire is under investigation. |

Devil Kats Wednesday Rock N Roll Social w/Hellzapoppin Sideshow Revue, Truckers Wife and The Serfs
Lost On Main (Chico, CA) 319 Main Street Chico, CA Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : = HELLZAPOPPIN SIDESHOW= This is your chance to see the Worlds largest and greatest touring Circus Side Show. If you like your entertainment real and dangerous and mixed with sensuality you will love HELLZAPOPPIN a sideshow revue. Youve seen these performers as a group and individually on TV shows like The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Discovery Channel, Ripleys Believe It or Not, The Learning Channel, Guinness Book of World Records, HDNet, The National Geographic Channel and much more. HELLZAPOPPIN Sideshow combines the style of the classic era side shows with modern day edginess and finesse and features the best attractions and performances from the best shows around the world! This thrill packed stunt show features sword swallowing, the human block head, fire eating, western bullwhip feats, contortionists, and electrical death defying stunts. Youll witness feats of the mystic East and monstrosities like the infamous Torture King, The Cyclops Boy, The Wolf People, The Penguin Boy, Slymenstra Hyman from the notorious shock/rock band GWAR as well as some of the sexiest burlesque girls on the planet. HELLZAPOPPIN Sideshow is a massive hit with audiences around the world. It is true popular entertainment, thrilling the most jaded rock festival attendee while at the same time touching a chord in the hearts of circus & music fans, historians, and art enthusiasts everywhere. These Stunts are performed by mere mortals who use their specialized knowledge and training to strive for the heavens in an effort to inspire others. One mistake could send them back to Hell! Do not try these stunts at home! THE SIDESHOW ART IS LIKE LIFE ON A PIRATE SHIP: These are outsider artistic children that never grew up. Theyre true vagabonds, hearts filled with wanderlust on a modern day pirate ship and that ship is steered by the hopes and dreams of artists willing to put themselves through whatever it takes to find that spotlight that is their home. They prefer meals cooked over an open fire under the stars with an accordion playing in the background. A dog is barking, bursts of hearty laughter filling the air after a 100 year long day of hard work. The workday is faced head on, and usually involves more turmoil than any mere mortal would take on in a lifetime. They get through it unscathed just in time to take that final bow from the 10,000th performance, whether its for 4 or 4000 fans. THE APPLAUSE IS THE HEROIN THAT EMPOWERS ONE TO GO ON. Its a lifestyle understood by a select few. A 200 yr old tradition, a heritage carried on by modern day minstrels that understand an artistic vision that is the ground zero of REAL show business and everything it represents. They put everything on the line, willing to die for their art if necessary. Aimed like a loaded gun at a hip cutting-edge and young - or those that think young - audience, HELLZAPOPPIN is truly a KIDDIESHOW FOR ADULTS. You dont stop going to the circus when you get old, YOU GET OLD WHEN YOU STOP GOING TO THE CIRCUS. In a jaded world, the aim of HELLZAPOPPIN is to provide entertainment to an audience that thinks theyve seen EVERYTHING! Its our job to prove them wrong! We take great pride in watching a jaw drop or a grown man faint. We call these FALLING OVATIONS. We take the viewer on a roller coaster ride back to childhood sensibilities. Challenging them to rekindle their imagination laughing and Oh My Goding as we go about our business of showing them THEYVE NOT SEEN ANYTHING YET! www.hellzapoppin.com |

Devil Kats Wednesday Rock N Roll Social w/Lucky Tubb & The Modern Day Troubadors and Esoteric (Country Style)
Lost On Main (Chico, CA) 319 Main Street Chico, CA Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : =About LUCKY TUBB & The Modern Day Troubadors= If you like Hank III, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash or anything to the like... you will LOVE this!!! Devil Kats Rock N Roll Social Presents: A Night of Country Steeped in Family Tradition by Lucky Tubb (Ernest Tubbs Grand-Nephew!) & The Modern Day Troubadors. Damn the Luck, the new CD release by Lucky Tubb & The Modern Day Troubadours evokes images of smoke-filled honky tonks, fallen angels, gun?toting rounders, hard drinkin backsliders and hopelessly scarred romantics. This CD is as honest and real as a hot plate of biscuits and gravy. The melodies, the production and the instrumentation on these eleven songs could have easily fit in on an old Wurlitzer juke box, in any Texas beer joint, honky tank, or roadhouse, during the early to mid 50s, when Ernest (Tubb) had us waltzing across Texas (another Tubb, Talmedge , actually wrote waltz across Texas) Lucky Tubb has taken it upon himself to preserve his familys musical heritage and does so with reverence and pride. The songs here shine like sequins on a vintage Nudie suit (early Porter and pre-Gram), with Lucky staking vocal claim to the sound created by his elders. This is really a Tubb family album. Luckys Uncle Douglas wrote three of the eleven songs on the album (written between 1952 and 1956), and another relative (Ronnie Wade) gets the star treatment with a song from 1957, Lucky himself penned six songs on the CD and they sound as genuine and heartfelt as those written over 50 years ago. So, put that damned gun down and just listen. The Modern Day Troubadours play with Freshness and urgency. Moaning steel guitar, lonesome mandolin, and sad sweeping fiddle lines (maybe even a burning hot lick or two from an old fender Telecaster) and are all seamlessly woven into the production. Lucky and the band wrap around the lyrics and melodies like calloused hands on an ice cold longneck. No clutter, no overplaying, no excess and no grandstanding can be heard. The sound here is a black and white photograph that you can still see (and hear) with your eyes closed. The tunes are timeless and sound familiar, yet new, coming off as fresh and flavorful as southern fried chicken. These troublesome songs of love lost, heartache, and heartbreak go down best in a shot glass full of bonded whiskey. Thank goodness that we occasionally get exposed to insurgent country CDs like this. Its music that is rough cut, and bootleg-distilled full of tears of yesterdays broken hearts, and held together by the authority of a loaded glove compartment pistol. Lucky seems to have his finger firmly on the trigger. Buy him a drink. Hes got a long story to tell. R.

Honky Tonk Nite (Is postponed for a few weeks, but dont worry this pirate ship will be back and ready to sail) w/
To Be Announced Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : Honky Tonk Nite (Is postponed for a few weeks, but dont worry this pirate ship will be back and ready to sail) =HONKY TONK NITE= Origins of the honky tonk establishment: Although the derivation of the term is unknown, honky tonk originally referred to bawdy variety shows in the West (Oklahoma and Indian Territories and Texas) and to the theaters housing them. The earliest mention of them in print refers to them as variety theaters and describe the entertainment as variety shows. The theaters often had an attached gambling house and always a bar. "Not exactly an open mic, this is for true appreciators of music that is maybe a little rough around the edges--think barbed wire, bloody knuckles and whiskey stains." -Mad Bob Howard (The Synthesis) Genre: Honky Tonk Web: www.myspace.com/honkytonknite |

Cheatin Hearts w/Mae McCoy and The Neon Stars
The Towne Lounge (Chico, CA) 327 Main Street Chico, CA Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : =Cheatin Hearts= The Cheatin? Hearts play a firebrand style of country music hearkening back to honky tonk troubadours and rabble-rousers such as Ernest Tubb, Hank Williams, Lefty Frizzell, Merle Haggard, and The Maddox Brothers and Rose, and akin to current traditionalists including Hank Williams III, Dale Watson, and Wayne Hancock. Dont expect the slick, commercial formula that dominates much of the airwaves currently, The Cheatin Hearts sound echoes an earlier era of Gretsch guitars, and world-weary vocals; when country music was still three chords and the truth. The band has released three demos; the most current being 2008s Livin 90 Proof. Genre: Country Outlaw Myspace: myspace.com/bastardmuses =Mae McCoy= As country as cornbread, yet as sophisticated as Tiffanys, that pretty much sums up that McCoy gal, Mae. Music fans need only listen to any one cut to hear proof of the above description.Mae McCoy and the Neon Stars transcends all musical boundaries with their unique style. Not only will you find this band a means of entertainment, but they will clearly demonstrate how Mae McCoy and the Neon Stars can take a song already made popular by another artist, perform it themselves, and make it new again! All who have heard Mae McCoy and the Neon Stars are convinced that their musical talents are boundless and their future unending.

Hellbound Glory w/The Cheatin Hearts, Truckers Wife and Witch Dick
Woodys Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : =HELLBOUND GLORY= Hellbound Glory is pure Scumbag Country, as real as the grime and grit on old abandoned buildings in the towns like Reno NV, Butte MT, Aberdeen WA, and Fresno CA that the members of the band grew up in. The band began in the summer of 2004 and after a few line up changes and countless gigs in divebars and honky tonks throughout northern Nevada they arrived at a solid line up and began to travel where ever anyone wanted to hear their honest Scumbag Country. Hellbound Glorys Scumbag Country sound builds on the roots of Honky Tonk, Bluegrass, Rockabilly, and Outlaw Country to create something that is as traditional as Grandmas apple pie and as potent as your cousins home cooked crank. Lead singer-rhythm guitarist Leroy Virgil writes the songs and is the conductor of the hellbound train that is the bands trademark rowdy off the rails live show. Rounding out the band is the Jerry Reed meets Jimmie Hendrix guitar work of Johnny Fingers (Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash, Saddle Tramps), the Maximum C and W drumming of Chico Kortan, the thumpin bass of Frank Medina, and the pure country sound of Adam Jaffes pedal steel guitar and banjo. After an impromptu acoustic performance by Leroy in the office of Gearhead Records president Michelle Haunold, a deal was struck up and the band went to work on their debut album, Scumbag Country. With Renos gambling, all night drinking, and rampant substance abuse as a backdrop, the album is as strewn with tales of hardlivin, hard drinkin, and hardluck as the Reno streets are themselves. In fact, as a tribute to the man who once wrote the immortal words shot a man in Reno, theres even a song about a train on the album. So forget the fact that Hellbound Glory has performed with national acts and country legends like David Allen Coe, Junior Brown, Dale Watson, Lemmy (of Motorhead), Hank 3, Wayne Hancock, Jesse Dayton, the Legendary Shackshackers, Heavy Trash, Supersuckers, Devil Makes Three, BR549, the Weary Boys, Lee Rocker (Stray Cats), Robbie Fulks, and Throwrag and just listen to their true Scumbag Country tales. Who knows, maybe Hank and Waylon would have done it this way. Genre:Country/Rockabilly/Bluegrass Web: www.myspace.com/hellboundglory |

Greg Ginn & The Taylor Texas Corrugators w/
Murphys (Memphis, TN) 1589 Madison Memphis, TN Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : =GREG GINN & THE TAYLOR TEXAS CORRUGATORS= Greg Ginn and the Taylor Texas Corrugators are an instumental group that incorporate many styles into their music. Rock/jazz/country/blues/latin/psychedelia all find their way into the mix. On the two studio recordings (Bent Edge released in 2007, and Goof Off Experts released in 2008), Greg plays all of the instuments except drums. We offer these recordings as free downloads. If you like them and feel they are worthwhile to pay for, we suggest making a donation to kittenrescue.org. These people do great work with cats. Live, the Corrugators are quite a different proposition. Playing about 150 shows (most of them opening for JAMBANG) in the last year, the group played 100 percent improvised sets. On the next tour, look for the Corrugators to introduce some sound loops into a portion of the set at times. For the tours, Greg has enlisted the JAMBANG members for the Corrugators as well, with Ginn playing bass/guitar, Gary Piazza on guitar, and Dominick Feedam (borrowed from the LBCs Delta Nove) on drums.

J.Wail vs.aNdu w/Mike Z
Lost On Main (Chico, CA) 319 Main Street Chico, CA Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : =J.Wail= It is the dawn of an age of digital wizardry where gadgets seem to surge in song, congealing in an amalgamation of buzzes, beeps and blips. The pulsing of machines and pounding of concrete and steel in symphonic collage power our world. J.Wail rises to the call of the sonic traffic controller poised behind a palette of electronic devices with his Telecaster in hand. The dance floor becomes the launch pad where he fuses live instrumentation with organic electronica propelling mind soul and booty into the upper stratosphere of sound. In the resonance of music and technology J. Wail melds the sounds of tomorrow with the power of now into a bumping party anthem for modern mankind.

Since his conception musical instruments have always been a passion. At the tender age of 2 Jonahs mother passed away leaving behind a beautiful classical guitar that she once played. The cherished guitar was later passed down to him and although he rarely takes it on stage the symbol connection essence and inspiration of his mother and her guitar resonates deep within his soul. J.Wails enthusiasm and strong desire to share and spread his music has earned him a reputation as one of the hardest working up and coming artists in the touring industry. His current tour has logged over 50000 road miles countless air miles and 150 plus shows performed on all corners of the continent. Although dedicated to developing his sound and his career J.Wail also maintains a high level of community involvement and fundraisers to benefit philanthropic and global causes are also of utmost importance. Stretching into the DJ based dance sound with the approach of a live band he creates his avant garde club funk rock through innovative techniques using live guitar bass vocals synthesizers and live electronics. His ability to experiment and improvise nightly has led to several appearances and collaborations with some prominent musicians. On-stage guest jams have included national artists Michael Travis Jason Hahn EOTO String Cheese Incident Dean Ween Ween Brock Butler Perpetual Groove Ekoostik Hookah Tom Constanten Rock N Roll Hall of Fame ex member of the Grateful Dead and members of the Brazilian Girls.

Phenomenauts w/Go Jimmy Go and Boss 501
Lost On Main (Chico, CA) 319 Main Street Chico, CA Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : =THE PHENOMENAUTS= The Phenomenauts are contacting you from the future. To make a long story short, Professor Greg has been practicing his video gaming skills on the Timewasterator. After beating the 1981 Capcom game GALAGA, the screen went black and then red and then black again. Thats when we were sucked into the Timewaisterator and transported into the future..... While in the future we saw all of you at the shows listed below. You danced to the new songs and all the Phenoma-gadgets worked, and since you brought all of your friends, you were the toast of the planet. After the show you bought a Phenomenauts T-Shirt with the new design, which landed you that high paying modeling contract. Now that we have told you what the future holds, dont mess around. Not going could create a time paradox, the result of which could cause a chain reaction that would unravel the very fabric of the space-time continuum and destroy the entire universe! Granted thats a worst case scenario. The destruction might in fact be very localized, limited to merely our own galaxy. The Future is in your hands....

NO SENSITIVE SINGER-SONGWRITERS ALLOWED. It aint Karaoke neither. If you write (or play) songs by or similar to the hundred or so artists listed here youre welcome as hell.

Lager House 1254 Michigan ave Detroit, MI Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : =GREG GINN & THE TAYLOR TEXAS CORRUGATORS= Greg Ginn and the Taylor Texas Corrugators are an instumental group that incorporate many styles into their music. Rock/jazz/country/blues/latin/psychedelia all find their way into the mix. On the two studio recordings (Bent Edge released in 2007, and Goof Off Experts released in 2008), Greg plays all of the instuments except drums. We offer these recordings as free downloads. If you like them and feel they are worthwhile to pay for, we suggest making a donation to kittenrescue.org. These people do great work with cats. Live, the Corrugators are quite a different proposition. Playing about 150 shows (most of them opening for JAMBANG) in the last year, the group played 100 precent improvised sets. On the next tour, look for the Corrugators to introduce some sound loops into a portion of the set at times. For the tours, Greg has enlisted the JAMBANG members for the Corrugators as well, with Ginn playing bass/guitar, Gary Piazza on guitar, and Dominick Feedam (borrowed from the LBCs Delta Nove) on drums.

CANCELLED!! Hellzapoppin- A Sideshow Revue (2 SHOWS 8:30PM and 10:30PM) w/Truckers Wife
Lost On Main (Chico, CA) 319 Main Street Chico, CA Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : CANCELLED SHOW!!! SORRY FOLKS!! =HELLZAPOPPIN: A SIDESHOW REVUE= SPECIAL NIGHT: 2 SHOWS 8:30PM and 10:30PM ...Come early and stay for both... ONE HELL OF A SHOW... This is your chance to see the Worlds largest and greatest touring circus sideshow. Youve seen these performers as a group and individually on the largest rock festivals in the US and Europe such as Ozz Fest (2 years in a row), The Family Values Tour with KORN and The Deftones, The Vans Warped Tour, Metal Town and West Coast Riot festivals in Sweden. You might have also seen them on TV shows like The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Discovery Channel, Ripleys Believe It or Not, The Learning Channel, Guinness Book of World Records, HDNet, The National Geographic Channel and many more. HELLZAPOPPIN: A Sideshow Revue combines the style of the classic era side shows with modern day edginess and finesse and features the best performers and attractions from the best shows from around the world! This thrill packed stunt show features genuine human oddities, sword swallowing, the human block head, fire eating, bed of nails, the blade box , western bullwhip demonstrations, contortionists, the best in burlesque, and electrical death defying stunts. Youll witness feats of the mystic East and monstrosities like the infamous Zamora Torture King, The Incredibly HOT fire eating Suicide Girl- Miss Molotov, The sexiest sword swallower sideshow has to offer; Miss Betty Bloomers, The World Famous Penguin Boy, From Australia, Mister OM, the legendary master of contact-juggling, The Queen of the Underground Slymenstra Hyman from the notorious shock/rock band GWAR as well as some of the sexiest burlesque girls on the planet.... all presented by Master of Ceremonies Bryce The Govna Graves. HELLZAPOPPIN A SideShow Revue is a massive hit with audiences around the world. It is true popular entertainment, thrilling the most jaded rock festival attendee while at the same time touching a chord in the hearts of circus & music fans, historians, and art enthusiasts everywhere. These Stunts are performed by mere mortals who use their specialized knowledge and training to strive for the heavens in an effort to inspire others. One mistake could send them back to Hell! Do not try these stunts at home! THE SIDESHOW ART IS LIKE LIFE ON BOARD A PIRATE SHIP These performers are outsider artistic children that never grew up. They are true vagabonds; hearts filled with wanderlust. They travel upon modern day pirate ship. That ship is steered by the hopes and dreams of artists willing to put themselves through whatever it takes to find that spotlight that is their home. They prefer meals cooked over an open fire under the stars while the sounds of an accordion, a wash board and spoons playing in the background. A dog is barking, bursts of hearty laughter fill the air after a 100 year long day of hard work. The workday is faced head on, and usually involves more turmoil than any mere mortal would take on in a lifetime. They get through it unscathed just in time to take that final bow from the 10,000th performance, whether its for 4 or 4000 fans. YOUR APPLAUSE IS THE SUSTENANCE THEY THRIVE ON Its a lifestyle understood by a select few. A hundreds-of-years old tradition, a heritage carried on by modern day minstrels and mountebanks that understand an artistic outlook that is the ground zero of REAL show business and everything it represents. They put everything on the line, willing to die for their art if necessary. HELLZAPOPPIN A SideShow Revue is truly a KIDDIESHOW FOR ADULTS. A great man once said You dont stop going to the circus when you get old, YOU GET OLD WHEN YOU STOP GOING TO THE CIRCUS. He was right, and this show is a hellacious fountain of youth. In this jaded and turbulent world, the aim of HELLZAPOPPIN is to provide entertainment to an audience that thinks theyve seen EVERYTHING! Its our job to prove them wrong! We take great pride in watching a jaw drop or a grown man faint. We call these FALLING OVATIONS. We take the viewer on a roller coaster ride back to childhood sensibilities. Challenging them to rekindle their imagination laughing and Oh My Godding as we go about our business of showing them THEYVE NOT SEEN ANYTHING YET!

Slow Car Crashs Omarr Escoffie (Solo/AC) w/
Duffys 337 Main Street Chico, CA Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : =SLOW CAR CRASH= Born in Chicago and raised by a single mom, singer songwriter Omarr Escoffie has lived of life of hard times and has taken those experiences to create some of the most real and heartfelt songs written in recent times. At age 15, Escoffie left home only to live in the back of a station wagon, with the self assurance that his dream of stardom would one day be realized. At 18, Omarr went to Covenant House, a halfway home for abused and homeless kids, by choice, so that he could live in Los Angeles, where he felt he could showcase his talents. Through the subsequent years, Escoffie honed his songwriting craft and released his 1st CD Ambivalence in 1999 as Slow Car Crash. This sparked a creative flame which led him to release Come Out and Play Tonight in 2001 and the EP Hope on the Other Side in 2003. This EP marked a musical evolution in his sound featuring a full live band, acoustic guitars, soul, jazz and rock, and a lyrical growth marked by social awareness and a new found hope in life. In 2003, Omarr played bass guitar for Adam Kowalczyk of LIVE which released Looking up from the Ground. The pair toured and played together for a year. Check out Adam and the Weight to listen to some of the tracks. In 2006, Omarr released The Trip We Planned. These songs realized a lifelong journey and the content, both musically and lyrically, comes from a genuine performer. In 2007, Slow Car Crash did 82 shows by playing 2 national tours, 3 West Coast tours as well as shows at home in Los Angeles, independently and without any label support. Alexander Berberichs indie film BONNE ANN?E was released in April 2008 and featured SCCs Swan Song and The Message. BONNE ANN?E was included in the prestigious Raindance Film Festival in London. 2008 also brought a solo acoustic tour for Escoffie in Europe from July to September. Shows were played throughout England, France, Spain and Ireland. In 2009 Slow Car Crash released Intermission, a 7 song collection of full band and solo acoustic songs. This year will be spent performing and bringing SCCs music to new places and fans. Genre: Rock/Soul/Jazz Web: myspace.com/slowcarcrash |

Surrogate (CD Release Party) w/The Shimmies and Zach Zeller (solo acoustic)
Duffys 337 Main Street Chico, CA Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : =SURROGATE= $5 cover gets entrance and FREE CD With Popular Mechanics the second full-length from Chico CA-based rock outfit Surrogate the band has successfully honed their subtle blend of indie pop songcraft and lyrical witticism down to a science (pun intended). In the two years since the release of their critically acclaimed 2007 debut Love is For the Rich?????which NPR described as deliciously low-key and which elsewhere garnered comparisons to everyone from The Shins and Death Cab to shoegaze icons Starflyer 59 and Pedro the Lion??the band has toured the country with labelmates Emery and Ruth played shows from Fargo to Florida and diligently labored on perfecting the 11 songs that would eventually comprise Popular Mechanics. Though Popular Mechanics was once again recorded by Surrogate frontman and multi-instrumentalist Chris Keene himself the process and results of the recorded process were markedly different this time around. Whereas Love is For the Rich was recorded on an aging laptop in Keenes bedroom Popular Mechanics found Keene now a producer and engineer by trade tracking in his new digs in Chicos Heirloom Studios. First and foremost with Popular Mechanics the finished product is much more what we had in mind not just whatever happens happens says Keene about the recording process on the new record. Heirloom is a room that I had become intimately familiar with as far as the acoustics go since I work there and with the resources at my disposal this time around as far as mics and recording gear it just lent itself to a better recording. And Popular Mechanics bears out this notion of sonic fidelity. From the violins and syncopated drums of album opener Surprise to the sequenced beats and guitar-rock chorus of Exercise Machines to the elegant acoustic strains of album closer The Devil Gets What He Wants (Sometimes) Popular Mechanics which was mixed by Keene as well is a sonic masterpiece. Popular Mechanics also serves to showcase the bands newly refined song writing style with Keene and drummer Jordan Mallory?joined by touring members Daniel Martin on keyboards and Daniel Taylor on bass?having had ample time to refine rework and retool this batch of songs into a cohesive batch. The first record was something of a hodge podge of writing style and flavors says Keene. For this record theres still a lot of variety but our objective was to write a more cohesive and flowing record a little more streamlined with less tangents and bunny trails. Lyrically and musically Popular Mechanics plays out less like a collection of assembled songs and more like an album with overarching themes forming a through-line from start to finish. One of the foremost of these themes the idea of moderation personally politically and socially appears multiple times on Popular Mechanics most readily on the albums title track. Popular Mechanics is a song about politics sort of a tongue-in-cheek reference to both sides of the aisle. Political extremism or far left far right tends to strike me as kind of silly so I was making an effort to try to make fun of it. And with this kind of sardonic somewhat darkly humorous take on a serious topic being the norm for Surrogate Popular Mechanics stood out to Keene as being the prime candidate to represent the album as a whole. Lyrically Popular Mechanics seemed like a good flagship song to represent the themes of the whole record in that all the songs are very tongue-in-cheek and the record itself deals a lot with moderation. With Popular Mechanics Surrogate has not only avoided the dreaded sophomore curse but has instead succeeded in once again fulfilling their personal credo Intelligent pop songs for people of moderate to great intelligence.

Girl In A Coma w/Miss Derringer and Joybook
Lost On Main (Chico, CA) 319 Main Street Chico, CA Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : =GIRL IN A COMA= Girl in a Coma hailing from the Lone Star State formed when best friends Jenn Alva and Phanie Diaz met in Jr-high school art class over a mutual love of the Smiths Nirvana and skipping school. All they needed was a singer. Enter Nina Diaz Phanies then 12-year old little sister. Nina blew them away with her mesmerizing vocals a powerful voice some critics have compared to Bjork Patsy Cline and the bands hero Morrissey himself. The trio practiced for three years gigged at local punk rock clubs played a High School talent show one kids birthday party and then hit the road building up a solid and loyal fan base across the country. In 2006 the Girls played for Joan Jett and long-time songwriting partner and producer Kenny Laguna at New Yorks Knitting Factory as part of a cable TV show featuring unknown bands. Jett and Laguna were so impressed with the band that they signed GIAC to their label Blackheart Records on the spot. The bands 2007 debut album Both Before Im Gone was a critical hit with raves from Alternative Press Magazine the LA Weekly Bust magazine among many others with the album reaching No. 23 on Billboards Heatseekers chart and No. 21 on iTunes. Clumsy Sky the bands first single won a 2007 Independent Music Award in the Best Song-Punk category. The last of the four singles released Their Cell was recently voted by TV viewers into the Top 10 on Logos The Click List show. Since the CDs release GIAC has been headlining shows in venues coast-to-coast playing on Cyndi Laupers True Colors tour as well as opening for the Pogues Social Distortion Tegan and Sara in a cross-country national tour and with Morrissey in both Europe and the U.S. In between the constant touring the band was busy writing songs for their new CD the upcoming Blackheart Records release Trio B.C. The creative process was a new and liberating experience for the Girls. The challenge for this record was having to come up with songs in a matter of a year Jenn explains with Both Before Im Gone we had 7 years with that material. For this new CD a little over 18 months. As with their first album the end result is a unique amalgamation of eclectic influences: oldies rockabilly 90s alternative and contemporary bands both indie and mainstream. And in a nod to their San Antonio Texas background the Girls place their cutting-edge rock sound in a familiar context. We chose Trio B.C. as the album title because it was the name of our grandfathers Tejano band way back in the 50s Phanie Diaz explains. He was our first musical influence. He would play us guitar and sing and we would love to watch him in the garage with a cold beer in his hand playing his records and singing along like he meant it. His passion is our inspiration. We hope to make people feel that way about our music. Trio B.C. includes tracks produced by Grammy-award winning producer Greg Collins (U2 and Gwen Stefani) and Gabriel Gonzalez (formerly of At The Drive End and one of the producers of the bands debut Both Before Im Gone). Joan Jett and Kenny Laguna produced two special tracks on the CD Vino and Joannie in the City a snarling post-punk rock cut featuring Joan Jett on guitar along with Jetts distinct vocals on background. The song is about females in the music business Girl in a Comas writer/singer Nina Diaz explains about her song having that tough attitude and doing what you want. Joan was the door opener for us all. The rest of the albums cuts explore different styles and tempos with tracks ranging from the eerie and poetic love song El Monte to the fast and hard rocking Static Mind. Other tracks include the delicate ballad Pink Lemonade and the more sonically experimental Ven Cerca Girl in a Comas first Spanish language song a cover of a bright 1960s Mexican pop song but made modern and dissonant with feedback and fuzzy guitars reminiscent of Sonic Youth at their grungiest best. When not on the road Phanie likes to Ghost Hunt. Jenn paints pictures. And Nina has a stuffed bear named G?enther. They all love tattoos. Genre: Garage/Rock/Punk Web: myspace.com/girlsinacoma =MISS DERRINGER= Miss Derringer is a Los Angeles based band heavily influenced by American music of the late-50s and early-60s particularly the vintage sounds of outlaw country like performers Merle Haggard and Johnny Cash or the girl group pop of the Ronettes and Shangri Las. The band also finds inspiration in the music and attitude of early punk bands like the Misfits and Black Flag. The bands lyrics deal with honkytonk subjects like prison alcohol sobriety God death murder and alcohol. Miss Derringer has released two albums with Sympathy for the Record Industry. The first King James Crown Royal and a Colt 45 was released in 2004. Genre: Gothic/Country/Punk Web: www.myspace.com/missderringer |

These are the echoes of garage rock: rhythm and blues on a strung out bender gallivanting about with a dip in the hip and a mop on the top.

Three Fingers Whiskey ( CD Release) w/Pleasure The Drinker
Duffys 337 Main Street Chico, CA Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : =THREE FINGERS WHISKEY= This band was started in 2001 out of our love of outlaw country music. The band name comes straight from Waylon Jennings one of our biggest heros. What we are doing is what Waylon did in his time. Which was basically taking Hank Williams Sr. type of country and putting a faster engine under the hood so to speak. We are carrying on the same tradition as Waylon by juicing up the 70s outlaw country and our original new traditional country music for a 21st century kick in the ass. But make no mistake about it we are not a tribute band or a retread. We do original music with lyrics that relate to modern times yet still remain timeless. We will also play a few choice covers. NO POP FUCKING COUNTRY!!!!! Our music is high octane whiskey fueled shit kickin honky tonkin psychobilly bluegrass roots rock Americana COUNTRY MUSIC!!!!!!!

The Chop Tops w/The Hard Money Saints & Failure To Appear
Bombays (Redding, CA) 1730 California Street Redding, CA Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : =THE CHOP TOPS= The Chop Tops began when Sinner found two rocknroll renegades that loved Rockabilly music just as much as he. Sinners penchant for playing standing drums was only equaled by his love for the roots rockabilly early punk & psycho vocalists he grew up listening to. This led him to developing his own wild style of singing lead vocals while playing standing drums. He teamed up with Gretsch guitar extraordinaire Shelby after witnessing one of his blistering guitar performances in San Francisco. With his punk swagger and the-devil-may-care attitude it was obvious that Shelby shared Sinners passion for a frantic Rock n Roll beat and songwriting. Last but not least came an upright bassist that would glue together the Chop Tops stompin singer/drummer and livewire guitar slinger into one red-hot rockin band. Sinners childhood friend and Santa Cruz slap bass pioneer Hot Rod completed the band and set The Chop Tops wheels a rolling Genre: Rockabilly/Psychobilly/Punk Web: www.thechoptops.com =THE HARD MONEY SAINTS= Hard Money Saints: Jack Rainwater Guitar Vocals. Guitar influences range from Iggy and The Stooges Iron Maiden Motor head Link wray and Carl Perkins. Vocal Influences Johnny Cash Elvis Presley Joe Strummer Ian Hunter. Jacks guitar sound can move from a country boogie to a shredding metal solo in the blink of an eye while vocally Jack likes to mix a little country crooning with some 70s hard rock stylings to keep things interesting. Armando Nienhuser Bass vocals. A seasoned Veteran of several regional Rockabilly acts including Billy Dwayne and the Creepers James Hunnicutt and the Revolvers and Knut Bell and the Blue Collers Mondo brings a ferocity to the Upright Bass and is an unmovable force to be reckoned with both on stage and off with hundreds of HMS shows under his belt and huge audience approval Mondo has truly earned his rightful place as a Hard Money Saint Nich Scott Drums vocals. Old school Punk is where Nich cut his teeth on drums and while he brings this energy to the Saints its obvious his heart is in first wave Psychobilly. Taking the beats from the first two HMS recordings and turning them into his own Nich has quickly won over fans all over the region and continues to take the material to new levels nightly. His experience as an upright bassist allow him to lock in with Mondo and create the run away train rhythm that fans have come to expect. The aggressive dedication and heart of the Hard Money Saints (Now!) rhythm section coupled with the versatility of Rainwaters vocals and guitar provide a show that keeps the audience lambasted from start to finish. The style of songs vary enough and are delivered with such a rapid fire pace that audiences are engaged for the whole set. Hard Money Saints music originates from traditional Rockabilly and Country But adds the influences of modern rock punk and metal to create a unique more original sound.

Electric Circus w/ Greg Ginn & The Taylor Texas Corrugators & Truckers Wife
Lost On Main (Chico, CA) 319 Main Street Chico, CA Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : =ELECTRIC CIRCUS= Electric Circus is a long standing icon of the Chico and Northern California music scene. Formed in 1992 the Circus has undergone many transformations and evolutions. The result is one of the finest Jam Bands to tickle your earbone. Voted Best Band in Chico three times included in the top 100 North American Jam Bands E.C. has graced the stage of hundreds of venues from Portland Or to Joshua Tree Ca (which is far). Thousands of shows have gotten us to the point that Train Wrecks are one note long... Genre: Jam/Funk Web: www.electriccircus.com =GREG GINN & THE TAYLOR TEXAS CORRUGATORS= Im not really a redneck? I just play one on TV. So goes the slogan for the Texas Corrugators a country style rhythm and swing band featuring Greg Ginn. Purposefully clich? the Corrugators arent exactly poking fun at the Texas two-step but they will lead you and your horse down a path of bent notes and broken rhythms. In True Ginn fashion the music doesnt lend itself to any one strict style with the formula for this album combining steady looped piano jazzy bass and a twang-filled guitar. As an instrumental band this duo offers a toe tapping backdrop to the usual suspects of Texas Swing. BENT EDGE the first release for the Corrugators is a unique addition to the Ginn catalog of sound. With such a diverse eclectic background you can never really guess what will come out of his amp next but if youre a bettin man Its safe to put your money on this one.

To make a long story short Professor Greg has been practicing his video gaming skills on the Timewasterator. After beating the 1981 Capcom game GALAGA the screen went black and then red and then black again. Thats when we were sucked into the Timewaisterator and transported into the future..... While in the future we saw all of you at the shows listed below. You danced to the new songs and all the Phenoma-gadgets worked and since you brought all of your friends you were the toast of the planet. After the show you bought a Phenomenauts T-Shirt with the new design which landed you that high paying modeling contract. Now that we have told you what the future holds dont mess around. Not going could create a time paradox the result of which could cause a chain reaction that would unravel the very fabric of the space-time continuum and destroy the entire universe! Granted thats a worst case scenario. The destruction might in fact be very localized limited to merely our own galaxy. The Future is in your hands....

Candy Apple w/Spindrift
Duffys 337 Main Street Chico, CA Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : There was a time though it may seem distant when American underground rock n roll was ruled by sounds now oft forgotten the shrill screams of a Farfisa organ the gritty punch of a hollow-body guitar frenetic drums behind delicious bass licks and the irresistible clashing of a tambourine. These are the echoes of garage rock rhythm and blues on a strung out bender gallivanting about with a dip in the hip and a mop on the top. Thankfully this spirit has not been left entirely in the past. Candy Apple hailing from Chico CA is living proof. Five members strong, Candy Apple is comprised of Scott Barwick (vocals organ) Jake Sprecher (vocals guitar) Katie Kelley (bass) and Slee Jensen (drums). Guided by the power of Farfisa organ the group summons enticing demons from the likes of The Standells Rocky Erickson The Count Five and The Sonics. With a live presence that rips across the stage it is no feat for Candy Apple to steam the entire room in a hot minute.

The Shankers w/Hellbound Glory and The Cheatin Hearts
The Maltese 1600 Park Avenue Chico, CA Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : Hellbound Glory is pure Scumbag Country, as real as the grime and grit on old abandoned buildings in the towns like Reno NV, Butte MT, Aberdeen WA, and Fresno CA that the members of the band grew up in. The band began in the summer of 2004 and after a few line up changes and countless gigs in divebars and honky tonks throughout northern Nevada they arrived at a solid line up and began to travel where ever anyone wanted to hear their honest Scumbag Country. Hellbound Glorys Scumbag Country sound builds on the roots of Honky Tonk, Bluegrass, Rockabilly, and Outlaw Country to create something that is as traditional as Grandmas apple pie and as potent as your cousins home cooked crank. Lead singer-rhythm guitarist Leroy Virgil writes the songs and is the conductor of the hellbound train that is the bands trademark rowdy ?off the rails? live show. Rounding out the band is the Jerry Reed meets Jimmie Hendrix guitar work of Johnny Fingers (Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash, Saddle Tramps), the Maximum C&W drumming of Chico Kortan, the thumpin bass of Frank Medina, and the pure country sound of Adam Jaffes pedal steel guitar and banjo. After an impromptu acoustic performance by Leroy in the office of Gearhead Records president Michelle Haunold, a deal was struck up and the band went to work on their debut album, Scumbag Country. With Renos gambling, all night drinking, and rampant substance abuse as a backdrop, the album is as strewn with tales of hardlivin, hard drinkin, and hardluck as the Reno streets are themselves. In fact, as a tribute to the man who once wrote the immortal words ?shot a man in Reno?, theres even a song about a train on the album. So forget the fact that Hellbound Glory has performed with national acts and country legends like David Allen Coe, Junior Brown, Dale Watson, Lemmy (of Motorhead), Hank 3, Wayne Hancock, Jesse Dayton, the Legendary Shackshackers, Heavy Trash, Supersuckers, Devil Makes Three, BR549, the Weary Boys, Lee Rocker (Stray Cats), Robbie Fulks, and Throwrag and just listen to their true Scumbag Country tales. Who knows, maybe Hank and Waylon would have done it this way. genre: shit kickin honky tonk web: hellboundglory.com |

Secret Stolen w/The Fat Stickys, Ben Ruttenberg
Nick's Night Club 1414 Park Ave Chico, CA Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : The guys in The Secret Stolen probably would probably prefer to just be called a rock band (rather than an indie rock band, which theyre not). But TSS is an experimental rock band. Guitarist brothers Nolan and Cameron Ford have the skills to play in a spastic jazz band or a prog-metal band if they wanted, but their fret board calisthenics are laser-focused on the task of moving the fast-moving songs along at a crazy-making pace?like two cranked-out greyhounds set loose on a flat track with strobe lights driving them forward, eyes wide and wild. The four-piece (which includes bassist John Wold and drummer Billy DiBono) is finishing up their follow-up to Absent Without Leave, and will resume their busy touring schedule when its done. Oh, and the live shows are legendary. genre: rock / punk web: www.myspace.com/thesecretstolen |

Nothing Left w/Get Dead and No Red Flags
Nick's Night Club 1414 Park Ave Chico, CA Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : Nurtured by a noxious mixture of gin and pineapple juice, Get Dead was finally aborted onto the San Francisco punk scene in summer 2007. Sewn together were the appendages of former bands like Splitting Seconds, Lucky Stiffs, Ballistics, and Lewee and the Regals. In its first few months it began implementing reckless plans for world domination, tantamount to those of lunatics and zombies. It released its first ep effort, ?Forged in the Furnace of Rad,? then spread like infection up and down the West Coast sharing the stage with bands like, The Real McKenzies, The Swingin Utters, Millions of Dead Cops, Angel City Outcasts, and Anti-Nowhere League. It released its first full-length, an acoustic venture entitled ?Letters Home,? in October 2008 then returned to the road to increase its base of fans and minions. The creature currently cloisters in seclusion, tinkering with its electric debut, an epidemic it plans to release early summer 2009. genre: punk web: myspace.com/getdeadmusic |

The Chop Tops w/Midnight Howlers & The Serfs
Nick's Night Club 1414 Park Ave Chico, CA Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : -The Chop Tops_ The Chop Tops began when Sinner found two rock n roll renegades that loved Rockabilly music just as much as he. Sinners penchant for playing standing drums was only equaled by his love for the roots rockabilly, early punk, & psycho vocalists he grew up listening to. This led him to developing his own wild style of singing lead vocals while playing standing drums. He teamed up with Gretsch guitar extraordinaire Shelby, after witnessing one of his blistering guitar performances in San Francisco. With his punk swagger and the-devil-may-care altitude, it was obvious that Shelby shared Sinners passion for a frantic Rock n Roll beat and songwriting. Last, but not least, came an upright bassist that would glue together the Chop Tops stompin singer/drummer and livewire guitar slinger into one red-hot, rockin band. Sinners childhood friend and Santa Cruz slap bass pioneer Hot Rod completed the band and set The Chop Tops wheels a rolling. genre: Rockabilly/Psychobilly/Punk web: www.myspace.com/thechoptops |

GREG GINNs JAMBANG w/The Taylor Texas Corrugators
Nick's Night Club 1414 Park Ave Chico, CA Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : Greg Ginn, the founding father of Black Flag, the west coast punk band that was a key player in the American punk movement of the 70s and 80s, and quit in 1986, is coming to town with two of his current bands on one ticket: Jambang and Greg Ginn and the Taylor Texas Corrugators. Now before you sharpen the spikes on your black leather jacket and break out the iconic black bars of your favorite Black Flag t-shirt, you should know this music will not take you back to your slam dancing days. Keep in mind, both of these bands play entirely instrumental sets. Just as Ginn and Black Flag pushed the boundaries of popular music decades ago, he is still toeing that line with his two most recent projects, but in a different direction. It is kind of difficult to describe, Ginn said of Jambangs music in a recent phone interview before performing in Chapel Hill, N.C. It is experimental in a way. I dont know any band to compare it to. It is kind of a hybrid of electronic and organic instrumentation. We also sync up to videos (when playing live) that a video artist in Austin, Tex., Joey Keeton, did for every song. It is kind of an audio-visual experience. Then there is the Taylor Texas Corrugators. I think there is a lot of influences ranging from country to jazz to experimental rock. There is a lot of improvisation, Ginn said of the Corrugators sound, adding that when played live, it is an all improvised set, so it is quite different. True Black Flag fans know that the appeal of this show isnt about what kind of music Ginns playing. It is simply that this is a chance to see him play. Lovers of music in general can appreciate seeing musicians experiment with a medium, and that is exactly what Ginn has always skillfully done with the lawless guitar style he is known for.

This 5-piece, melodic punk band from Orange County, California is giving back to the scene from which they received so much. With infectious and memorable stage presence, CHASER is tearing apart every stage they set foot on. With seven years of experience, two full-length albums, national and international tours, and a constantly growing fan base, CHASER has truly taken to heart the meaning of passion and hard work. CHASERs latest album, Numb America, consists of 14 fast, catchy, and melodic punk tracks that fuse meaningful lyrics and aesthetic melodies, delivered clean, yet passionately. Accompanied by dueling guitar riffs, solos, and three-part harmonizing backup vocals, and all tied together with explosive rhythms that keep the fists pumping in the air. Mike LeDonne, CHASERs lead singer and front man, wants the world to know that there is definitely still a scene out there, and it is a band like us, CHASER, who refuses to let it die. After all, who better to carry on the legacy of those who paved the way for punk rock to exist, than their biggest fans? web: www.myspace.com/chaser genre: Punk/Rock/Alternative |

Spindrift w/Candy Apple and Aubrey Debauchery & The Puke Boots
Nick's Night Club 1414 Park Ave Chico, CA Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : Dear Stranger, All Heart and Hell bent- we rise with the ether. As we ride across the sky, we employ our sonic homing devices. We have a song for the lone star that shines across this desert wasteland... a raga, for the high planes drifter... a lullaby for each and every bastard child, adrift in a formless world. Space is thick with wormholes, and the nests of baby rattlesnakes. We know. This is the place we lay our heads. We are Spindrift. Go West, my friend... West, where the stage is set... West, into the sunset. Ride. This is music. This is vindication!... in the form of an invitation, delivered by the winds whisper into your ear. You Stranger, have stumbled upon black-mirrored waters that shimmer with the Nights darkest of promises. It flows and laps out the song of the wanderers lament. The melody lifts you, and drifts through you, with fingers of smoke. Centuries of mans invention, have now gathered all about you in a mystical mass. Come with us. The sound beckons from a fiery place within. All Heart and Hell bent, we have woven a carpet of stars for the very purpose of riding into your soul.

The Shimmies w/Smile Brigade, Magdalena and The Delta Mirror
Nick's Night Club 1414 Park Ave Chico, CA Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : One of the greatest endeavors a musician can take is start a band. Creating music is such a personal and subjective thing, which makes it hard for a group of musicians to share the same vision. It sometimes takes years for musicians to build compatible chemistry. Luckily for The Shimmies, they share much of the same genes, allowing them to be on the same musical wavelength. The four-piece indie rock band consists of brothers Jimmy Galloway (guitar and vocals), Sean Galloway (guitar and vocals), Stephen Galloway (bass) and friend Jack Gingerich (drums). Even though, The Shimmies have only been around sinceJune 2006, the three brothers have been playing music for about a decade. They each started playing guitar when they were 16 years old. Being home schooled in the small communities of Paradise and Oroville, California allowed them to constantly be around each other and create a sound of their own. The Galloways started jamming with Gingerich in 2002 at a music camp. When it was time to add a drummer to the band, the three brothers knew who to go to. With influences ranging from Simon and Garfunkel to Neutral Milk Hotel, The Shimmies have had no problem finding places to play and people who will listen. They have played with Chico favorites The Secret Stolen, Aubrey Debauchery, and La Fin du Monde as well as Tear It Down and EKUK in San Francisco and Los Angles. Recent performances include parks, city plazas, coffee shops and bars, proving The Shimmies are prepared to play anywhere, making each performance eccentric. Consider yourself lucky if you are able to catch an acoustic performance. The band goes all out by adding a mandolin and various percussion instruments to their set-up. While some bands like to include light shows and synchronized dance moves in their performance, The Shimmies keep it real and simple, allowing the music to speak for itself. The band likes to remain focused on playing their music well live, hoping to engage the audience in their mellow, emotive sound. The Shimmies music is a strong bond between brothers and friend. Like the saying goes, blood is thicker than water. The band has been able to skip over the early stages of a band struggling to find their sound. The Shimmies are more than ready to take over the iPods of music lovers around the world. web: www.myspace.com/theshimmiesband genre: Indie/Alternative/Garage |

The Amblers w/Leopold and His Fiction, Bearhunter and Ashes To Empire
Nick's Night Club 1414 Park Ave Chico, CA Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : Leopold and his Fiction is the balanced reincarnate of a sultry era of Western darkness underneath big city lights and country back roads leading to the morning shore of a transpiring musical horizon. The honest and transcendent San Francisco Rock n Roll band escalating into the west coast music scene, Leopold and his Fiction acquires a moody-pop frame derived from distant genres and unwavering imagination in an attempt to reinvent what each member feels has dissipated from the greater measure of music. Leopold provides Detroit filth and guitar orientation breathing parallel with rasped vocals soaring to a grave reflection. Of the trios American bicoastal familiarity and British influence, Daniel, along with the recent addition of bassist Micayla Grace, and drummer Jon contribute to a very diverse sound through personal interests. Together Leopold and his Fiction offers a morbid cohesion of California and a gentle open plains reminiscence stimulating a reason and energy for people to listen closely. A new vision in music and thought offers an alternate take to the repetition of a-sides with their own traditional sounds and elaborations. NEW ALBUM DUE OUT IN SEPTEMBER!! web:www.myspace.com/leopoldandhisfiction genre: Garage/Rock/Blues |

Secret Stolen w/ March of The Mannequins and Belles and Whistles
Nick's Night Club 1414 Park Ave Chico, CA Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : The Secret Stolen is a four-piece outfit from Chico, CA. Well more like a band than an outfit. You cant wear us out on the town or to the prom or church or anything like that. The group formed in July of 2005 and have since performed more than 150,000 shows.

Aubrey & the Puke Boots delivered a blazing performance... Her lyrics are enough to make a cowboy blush...

Viva Hate w/Nothing Left and Truckers Wife
Nick's Night Club 1414 Park Ave Chico, CA Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : Psychobilly? Hard Rock? Punk? The sound of Viva Hate could be described as all (or none) of the above. Drawing on influences such as American country music, 70s arena rock, early-80s skate punk and death rock, modern psychobilly, and more, Viva Hate has come to rise above the trends of cookie-cutter pop and retro rehash. By distilling the ingredients of their influences, rather than watering them down, Viva Hate are prepared to carve out their own niche in the ever-growing musical underground. Viva Hate was formed late in the summer of 2004, shortly after Geoff Kresge had left his previous band, Tiger Army, with the intent to play aggressive music that would incorporate the upright bass playing as a key element of the sound. Kresge approached longtime friend and razor-throated vocalist, Matt "Wedge" Wedgley (formerly of The Force) to retain his services as the lead vocalist for the new band. The two had talked about, and made several attempts at forming a band together for years, but the timing was never right. The closest they had come to realizing their vision up until that point was a song the two had written together for Wedgleys band while Kresge was still a member of AFI. -PLUS- It is Miss Rebeccas 30th Birthday Bash (Truckers Wife - Singer) web: www.myspace.com/vivahate genre: punk/rock/psychobilly |

His refusal to compromise his vision and sell out his music has earned him a fiercely loyal underground following. Wayne is proud of his rural roots and culture and has thoroughly absorbed the spirit of country musics forefathers such as Ernest Tubb, Hank Williams and Jimmie Rodgers. Never a mere imitator, the cutting edge style that emerges is every bit his own. He breathes youth and driving energy into traditional country forms and adds a dash of big band horns, boogie woogie piano, scorching rockabilly beats, heavenly Hawaiian steel licks and some wigged out hillbilly jazz guitar. web: Web: www.myspace.com/waynehancock genre: Country/WesternSwing/Rockabilly |

The Animations w/Out of Panic and Kevin D Ambra
Nick's Night Club 1414 Park Ave Chico, CA Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : A Band Review by Dr. Pete Venkman: The Animations are out of Chico California and up front these guys tell you on their website that they are heavily influenced by people that make bad decisions. No doubt you would have to question the decision-making ability of any band only made up of TWO PEOPLE; that’s right only two band members, one guitarist/vocalist (Beau) and a drummer/vocalist (Sean)…that’s it. The craziest thing about the Animations is that these guys work supremely well with their offbeat, comical stage presence and stellar musicianship – you would have to be in order to carry any audience with a two-piece. Speaking of two pieces…I was privileged enough to see the Animations at Club My Place a month back or so – and the ladies in attendance were amazing (JP I recommend you institute a some kind of bikini/wet t-shirt contest on Saturday nights – just a hint)…ok well now I am sounding like the creepy ice cream guy…so back to the Animations. Beau and Sean blend an indie, pop, rock vibe together into some great tunes. I can describe the Animations sound and presence as sort of like taking REM and giving them a sense of humor, and then mating them with the Barenaked Ladies. Add some residual epidural effects to this newly spawned love-child and there you have the Animations. Particularly noteworthy are their tunes SM, 1 Hit Wonder and Mushroom Caps…not only will these songs become part of your everyday playlist – but they will also have you cracking up. web: myspace.com/theanimations genre: rock rock rock |

Candy Apple w/Pink Snowflakes, Dr. Yes and Bear Hunter
Nick's Night Club 1414 Park Ave Chico, CA Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : Candy Apple: Playing to an eager Off Limits crowd, local garage-rock outfit Candy Apple absolutely nailed its debut performance back in late September. Seemingly void of any of the nervousness or hiccups that often come with the territory, the band tore through nine originals full of fuzzy electric guitar squeals, blasts of vintage organ and the unshakeable pulse of a tambourine, leaving a unanimously positive sense of approval from onlookers. Pink Snowflakes: With red curtains closed, the stage filled up with smoke and bubbles. It was an awe-inspiring sight when the curtains were pulled to release a rainbow of colors, created by fountains of bubbles lit with strobe lights that made them sparkle like snowflakes. The band adorned the stage with huge speakers, painted televisions, larger than life flowers and other paraphernalia. The music fit perfectly with its shiny, chaotic guitar leads, crunching chords, heavy rhythm, and even violin that was played to sound like a guitar feeding back. -Jake Rose. Willamette Week 2007 Indie kids have been psych rocking like its 1969 for the better part of a decade now, so the breathless hype surrounding head-trippy Portland youngsters the Pink Snowflakes is a bit facile. But unlike many of their indulgent brethren, the Pink Snowflakes conjure the visceral rock punch and the melodicism of the original psychedelic movement in a way that bellies their age. As with neopsychedelia, the prevailing attitude is far more inspired by bad acid trips than the summer of love, but the band's work stands alone for its originality and spirit, instead of seeming like some precocious hipster pastiche. They're definitely a band to watch this year. web:myspace.com/thepinksnowflakes genre: Experimental/Psychedelic/Rock |

The Shimmies w/Magic Bullets and Candy Apple
Nick's Night Club 1414 Park Ave Chico, CA Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : "The Galloway brothers make music that will make you feel things you thought only the likes of songwriters like Elliott Smith or Jeff Mangum could. The addition of drummer Jack Gingrich to this family band has spawned the band that will eventually put Chico on the map as the hometown of one of the worlds most loved rock bands." -I Heart Chico Bands, October, 2007 "The Shimmies, O Lord! Please don't let them be misunderstood! They come not in the fashion of so many other bands of late, with a keen eye set to the whimsical attention of hipsters and mods, carefully prepared in the knowledge of a how a successful band should present themselves: manufactured and tightly packaged like Abercrombie and Fitch underwear models. Oh no. Not these scraggly faced minstrels. Their audience is not composed of curvaceous pin-ups, dolled up like the Whores of Babylon (Woe be to Nebuchadnezzar!) No. Fans of The Shimmies come out of the woods; come in from the flat and far-reaching praries; down from the branches of deciduous trees, their mouths agape at the revelations of polite society. These dark forms--immutable in character and inexorably forthright in mind--descend on The Shimmies' art gallery of personal anguish in whispers, painting thin contrasts of Hope around the dim corners of their music in faint but visible lines of beauty. Put shortly, Shimmies' fans love Shimmies' music. And The Shimmies love them back." -VOICE Magazine, Spring 2007. web:myspace.com/theshimmiesband genre: indie/alt/garage |

Team Shark Week w/Tino Marrufo & Elvis Black
Nick's Night Club 1414 Park Ave Chico, CA Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : Team Shark Week formed in the closing months of 2006 with the goal of having a two-man outfit that could get people dancing with the effectiveness of a four-man crew. After months of painstaking work, we began playing shows in January of 2007. After many shows, some more successful than others, we began work on our full-length album. Towards the end of the recording, Rob moved to San Francisco to go to college and the Team was put on temporary hiatus.

Topr & DJ Lord Facials w/DJ Gpek & The Gurp City Goon Squad
Nick's Night Club 1414 Park Ave Chico, CA Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : A freestyle master who first started rhyming in 1988, TOPR burst onto the San Francisco scene in 1993 as Top Ramen. Quickly gaining notoriety in battle circles, he consistently embarrassed the competition with his quick-witted lyrics and scathing delivery. TOPR joined the the Hip Hop collective Earthlings in 1996 alongside local favorites Safahri, Boac and D.J. Bootleg, he helped build the crew's reputation as dynamic live performers opening up for such hip hop legends as KRS ONE, LL Cool J, De La Soul, Kool Keith, Goodie Mob, Mix Master Mike, Z-Trip and many others. The Earthlings also toured as an opening act on national tours with Living Legends, Hieroglyphics and Xecutioners as well as participating in many large hip hop festivals such as the Broke Ass Summer Jam, I.T.F., Lyricist Lounge and headlining their own F*ck Pop Convention. TOPR proved his freestyle abilities time and time again, opening up unassisted for Latryx, Rakim, Organized Konfusion, Eminem, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Pharaoh Monch, Xzibit, The Liks, GFE, Awol One, Glue etc. He also co-founded San Francisco's world renowned Freestyle Olympics, which has given birth to some of the most respected freestyle battle rappers in the country today. Other credits include: performing on the 2004 Vans Warped tour with Atmosphere and Non Phixion, appearing on the soundtrack (and on screen) in the local film Quality Of Life as well as the Bay Area graffiti documentary Piece By Piece. (PXP Director Nic Hill created the video for Top R's 'Security Security'.) Past releases include Donut Hustlers w/ DJ NonPhenom, Burning the Candle at Both Ends, Legalize Murder; and Cheap Laughs for Dead Comedians. He is currently dropping his 5th solo release The Marathon of Shame. "Each (TOPR) track is a anthem of hedonistic individualism, a contradictory self-affirmation of pride and despair, intense motivation and ultimate fatalism, all driven by a serious bent to rap, write (graffiti and get on gurp). TOPR is a reminder of what bay area indie rap can and should be." - Mesh Magazine web: myspace.com/topr gurpcity.net genre: indie rap/hip-hop/punk |

Barbara Manning w/Danny Cohen
Nick's Night Club 1414 Park Ave Chico, CA Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : Barbara Manning is considered one of the early pioneers of the independent rock scene. During her multi-album career, beginning in Northern California with the highly acclaimed neo-psychedelic group 28th Day; San Francisco's semi-legendary edgy pop band, World of Pooh; Matador recording artist, SF Seals; her numerous solo albums, and now with the power trio, The Go-Luckys!, Manning has consistently collected praise from respected and cutting edge magazines as well as her own peers. In 1992, Rolling Stone picked Barbara as one of the year's most important new artists; Spin magazine declared her 1995 album with the SF Seals, Truth Walks In Sleepy Shadows, the 8th best album of the year; in 1996, Germany's Spex magazine's Reader's Poll voted her among the 10 best female musicians; the French music industry magazine, Les Inrockupibles, gave an entire page review of her 1998 album solo album 1212; and the European Musik Express has applauded her last several albums with the highest marks. Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore proclaimed her one of San Francisco's finest poets. She is referenced in several current music guides, such as Spin's Guide to Alternative Rock, Virgins' Guide to Indie Rock and New Wave, Rolling Stone's Women in Rock, and Music USA, among others. Barbara also won a coveted Bay Area Music Award (BAMMY) in 1995 for the best independent rock album. Barbara has played worldwide with such rock notables as Yo La Tengo, Giant Sand, Pavement, Calexico, the Replacements, Richie Havens, Donovan, Television Personalities, Stuart Moxham (Young Marble Giants), Jon Langford (Mekons), Faust, Urge Overkill, Gary Lucas (Captain Beefheart), and Sonic Youth. web: myspace.com/barbaramanning genre: indie/folk rock/experimental |

Candy Apple w/The Amblers and Dr. Becky Sagers Phd.
Nick's Night Club 1414 Park Ave Chico, CA Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : There was a time, though it may seem distant, when American underground rock ‘n’ roll was ruled by sounds now oft forgotten; the shrill screams of a Farfisa organ, the gritty punch of a hollow-body guitar, frenetic drums behind delicious bass licks, and the irresistible clashing of a tambourine. These are the echoes of garage rock: rhythm and blues on a strung out bender, gallivanting about with a dip in the hip and a mop on the top. Thankfully this spirit has not been left entirely in the past. Candy Apple, hailing from Chico, CA, is living proof. Five members strong, Candy Apple is comprised of Scott Barwick (vocals, organ), Jake Sprecher (vocals, guitar), Katie Kelley (bass), Slee Jensen (drums), and Sunny Summer (tambourine). Guided by the power of Farfisa organ, the group summons enticing demons from the likes of The Standells, Rocky Erickson, The Count Five, and The Sonics. And with a live presence that rips across the stage, it is no feat for Candy Apple to steam the entire room in a hot minute. Candy Apple is soul to the bone, and will most assuredly be putting the devil back in your jeans. web: myspace.com/candyapplegarage genre: garage rock / soul |

Dr. Becky Sagers PhD w/Triclops w/ Kids With Headlice
Nick's Night Club 1414 Park Ave Chico, CA Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : Triclops! began in 2005 as an experiment in trans Bay friendship. Christian Beaulieu from San Francisco's Bottles and Skulls bravely chose to collaborate with cross town rival/would-be-ally Johnny from Oakland's Fleshies. They made a tape with echo-laden guitars and drums, the vocals run through broken solid state amps with phaser explosion. The duo attacked noise pedals/tape loops/randomly modified guitars and began to realize the band required a rhythm section. Finding their native punk scene poached dry of experimental-friendly comrades, they randomly responded to a Craigslist ad and struck gold in a brutally talented drummer named Phil from the defunct band Lower Forty-Eight. By January of 2006 they called out to megaveteran bass player Larry Boothroyd (of Victim's Family/Hellworms/Saturn's Flea Collar fame) and Triclops! was born, a mutation of this hybrid gene pool. In August 2006, Triclops! recorded the Cafeteria Brutalia EP (w/ engineer Phil Manley of Trans Am, Fucking Champs, Golden) for renowned Chicago indie label SickRoom. It was also released on picture disc format on with a 12" Picture Disc version on Missing Finger Records from Brooklyn. On September 9th, 2007 Gold Standard Labs (original home of Mars Volta, the Locust, !!!, and many others) ended its long run as an active label with the Triclops! picture disc 7 inch "Too Many Humans". In this short but productive existence, Triclops! Has shared the stage on some exciting and diverse show bills with bands such as Acid Mother's Temple, Don Caballero, Big Business, Pinhead Gunpowder, and Circle. The group has toured with 400 Blows, QUI (David Yow of The Jesus Lizard) Federation X, Burning Brides, played the GSL showcase at SXSW 2007 to a packed house at Emo's. Fall 2007 had the quartet in NYC for the CMJ Music Marathon and then to Gainesville, Florida for the No Idea Fest 6. Triclops! are now playing select shows and prepping the March 25 release of the new full-length Out of Africa, recorded with Melvins engineer Kurt Schlegel at his Lucky Cat Studio. Jello Biafra personally chased them down to secure the album's release on Alternative Tentacles Recordings. Some linky-links: Phil's old band, Lower Forty-Eight. John's other band, Fleshies.

Nick's Night Club 1414 Park Ave Chico, CA Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : Born in Chico, raised up at Burning Man, and brought to urban fruition in Oakland, California, the Loyd Family Players take the pulse of traditional Brazilian samba and twist it into a loud, sweaty, sexy muss that's all their very own.

Singer Song Writer Showcase w/12 of Chico's Finest
Nick's Night Club 1414 Park Ave Chico, CA Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : From Wikipedia.com: The origins of the singer-songwriter in North America can be traced back to folk singers who created original works in the folk music style. The best known early singer-songwriters include Woody Guthrie, Lead Belly and Pete Seeger, along with members of The Weavers (Seeger performed solo and as part of the Weavers). These proto-singer-songwriters were less concerned than today's singer-songwriters with the unadulterated originality of their music and lyrics, and would lift parts from other songs and play covers without hesitation. The tradition of writing topical songs (songs regarding specific issues of the day, such as Lead Belly's "Jim Crow Blues" or Guthrie's "Deportees") was established by this group of musicians. These singers would lead rallies for labor unions, and so wrote many songs concerning the life of the working classes. This focus on social issues has greatly influenced the singer-songwriter genre. |

The Chop Tops w/The Shankers and Kosmic Terror
Nick's Night Club 1414 Park Ave Chico, CA Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : The Chop Tops began when Sinner found two rocknroll renegades that loved Rockabilly music just as much as he. Sinner's penchant for playing standing drums was only equaled by his love for the roots rockabilly, early punk, & psycho vocalists he grew up listening to. This lead him to developing his own wild style of singing lead vocals while playing standing drums. He teamed up with Gretsch guitar extraordinaire Shelby, after witnessing one of his blistering guitar performances in San Francisco. It was obvious that Shelby shared Sinner's passion for a frantic Rock n' Roll beat and songwriting. Last, but not least, came an upright bassist that would glue together the Chop Tops stompin' singer/drummer and livewire guitar slinger into one red-hot, rockin' band. Sinner's childhood friend and Santa Cruz slap bass pioneer Hotrod completed the band and set The Chop Tops wheels a rollin'. In 1999 the band released its debut album Tales of Hot Rods, Hot Broads & Lucky Odds produced by guitar great Deke Dickerson. They soon headed out to tour the US. They mustve been doing something right! A buzz was generated from the bands smoking live shows and highly polished songwriting skills. This caught the ear of Ronnie Weiser, president and creator of the legendary Rollin Rock Records, whose label hosted such heavy hitters as the Blasters, Gene Vincent and Ray Campi, to name a few. He immediately signed the band and at the end of the tour they headed back in the studio to record the highly praised Always Wild. We barely had time to catch our breath, said Sinner. Things happened fast we were ready, this is what we dreamed about as kids. There's no rest for the wicked, the dream had become reality and we were ready for it. We were all real excited about recording a album for the label that had released Gene Vincents last recordings, The Blasters first album, & so many other greats! Always Wild was released in July of 2000 and another US tour ensued. The boys played to packed houses up and down the states. After some well deserved time off, it was time to go back into the studio. 2001 saw the release of their 3rd album the rock n roll fist-to-cuffs Evil Six, which they premiered as the opening act for Brian Setzers 68 Come Back Special tour. Proving once again, this band was no one trick pony! "Always Wild was a very successful album, and we couldve gone back in the studio and recorded Son of Always Wild, but I dont think we wouldve been happy, said Shelby. We needed to do something different. Something a bit more edgy, you know, get back in touch with our Punk roots, while still retaining the sound fans have become accustomed to. I guess whatever we did worked. Evil Six is currently sold out! (Update: Evil Six has since been re-released three different time and has current sold over 10,000 copies!) August 2005 the band embarked on a non-stop west to east coast 25 city tour. "It was great to finally play in the east and the crowds were really receptive" said Sinner. "New York was a blast!" added Shelby. "They really know how to rock!" The Chop Tops have finnished their 4th release entitled Triple Deuces. They toured the new release June 2006 with Nekromantix ! This album is our best yet! says Sinner. If you liked the other three CDs we've released, this one will amaze you!" Triple Deuces is on sale at music stores everywhere now. Pick up a copy at www.thechoptops.com/shop.html or at your local music store, you'll be glad you did. web: myspace.com/thechoptops genre: rockabilly / rock |

People of The Oaks w/Magdelena, Fire on the Plains and The Shimmies
Nick's Night Club 1414 Park Ave Chico, CA Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : The oak is a common symbol of strength and endurance and has been chosen as the national tree of England, Estonia, France, Germany, Lithuania, Poland, the United States and Wales. In Celtic mythology it is the tree of doors, believed to be a gateway between worlds, or a place where portals could be erected. Thor's Oak was a sacred tree of the Germanic Chatti tribe. Its destruction marked the Christianisation of the heathen tribes by the Franks. In Classical mythology the oak was a symbol of Zeus and his sacred tree. An example is the oracle of Dodona, which in prehistory consisted solely of a holy oak. In the Bible, the oak tree at Shechem is the site where Jacob buries the foreign gods of his people (Gen. 35.4). In addition, Joshua erects a stone under an oak tree as the first covenant of the Lord (Josh. 24.25-7). The Oak tree is traditionally sacred to Serbs and is widely used throughout Serbia on national and regional symbols both old and new. Several individual oak trees, such as the Royal Oak in Britain and the Charter Oak in the United States, are of great historical or cultural importance. Iowa has designated the oak as its official state tree in 1961, and the White Oak is the state tree of Connecticut, Illinois and Maryland. "Ambrosian Oaks" set to the Finlandia Hymn is the school song of St. Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa. The oak is the emblem of County Londonderry in Northern Ireland, as a vast amount of the county was covered in forests of the tree until relatively recently. The name of the county comes from the city of Derry, which originally in Irish was known as Doire meaning oak. There is a proverb, "Mighty oaks from little acorns grow." Another is: "Every majestic oak tree was once a nut who stood his ground." Many woods are connected to certain birth months, according to the Irish, and oak is the wood of June/July. However, in some variations, rosewood has been known to be June's wood. Raleigh, North Carolina has been nicknamed the "City of Oaks." The Romania national rugby union team is nicknamed The Oaks. Oak leaves symbolize rank in the United States Armed Forces. A gold oak leaf indicates an O-4 (Major or Lt. Commander), whereas a silver oak leaf indicates an O-5 (Lt. Colonel or Commander). Arrangements of oak leaves, acorns and sprigs indicate different branches of the United States Navy Staff corps officers. Oak leaves were added to the Iron Cross for added status. People of the Oaks is the name of a quintet of musicians residing in Northern California. They are known for their optimism. web: myspace.com/peopleoftheoaksband genre: rock |

Slow Car Crash (Full Band and last US Show before Omarr Moves to France) w/Candy Apple, Aub. D & The Puke Boots and Reggie Ginn
Nick's Night Club 1414 Park Ave Chico, CA Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : Born in Chicago and raised by a single mom, singer songwriter Omarr Escoffie has lived of life of hard times and has taken those experiences to create some of the most real and heartfelt songs written in recent times. At age 15, Escoffie’ left home only to live in the back of a station wagon, with the self assurance that his dream of stardom would one day be realized. At 18, Omarr went to Covenant House, a halfway home for abused and homeless kids, by choice so that he could live in Los Angeles, where he felt he could showcase his talents. Through the subsequent years, Escoffie’ honed his songwriting craft and released his 1st cd "Ambivalence" in 1999 as Slow Car Crash, a one man project while living in Chico, CA. This sparked a creative flame which led him to release "Come Out and Play Tonight" in 2001 and the EP "Hope on the Other Side" in 2003. This EP marked a musical evolution in his sound featuring a full live band, acoustic guitars, soul, jazz and rock, and a lyrical growth marked by social awareness and a new found hope in life. In 2006, Omarr released his best work to date, "The Trip We Planned", which encapsulated these musical ideals and showed growth not only as a songwriter but as a singer. These songs realize a lifelong journey and the content, both musically and lyrically, comes from a performer whom is truly genuine. The honesty heard is that of a true musical troubadour, a person committed to a lifelong trip through his songs. This is the type of artist whose life, experiences and honesty mark him as someone we’ll be hearing from for a long time to come. In 2007, Slow Car Crash did 82 shows by playing 2 national tours, 3 West Coast tours as well as shows at home in Los Angeles independently, and without any label support. Over the years, Slow Car Crash has opened for the likes of Scapegoat Wax, Imperial Teen, Ozomatli, B Side Players, Pedro the Lion, Damien Jurado, Jesse Denatale, Jonathan Richman, The Toledo Show and has sold over 8,000 CD’s worldwide.

The Hollowpoints w/Season of The Witch
Nick's Night Club 1414 Park Ave Chico, CA Promoter : Devil Kat Rock Special Notes : They remind me of Social Distortion crossed with a tad of American Oi-Core (such as Warzone and Agnostic Front) with a touch of Final Conflict thrown in for good measure. Lyrically they have the same kind of anger and how they come across is refreshing. They´ve ignored for the cliques and this is what makes this band stand out. I FUCKING LOVE ´EM! Just listen to songs like ´The Hemingway Solution´, ´The Black Spot´ and ´The Sky Turned Black´ then read the lyrics. This is the kinda material that all genres in the punk scene can get into - even the likes of the Anarchist contingent. The Hollow Points have broken all the rules with this one and with it created the kick ass album of 2005. - Steve / Full Frontal - UK web: myspace.com/hollowpointswa genre: punk / rock / political |
