Mikey Russell Bon Voyage Party ~ w/ Karina Denike + Evonne Goolagong + Bias Tape + Molly Bolton (EP release) ~ $10 ~ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm

EVONNE GOOLAGONG
Once upon a time, there was a Big, Bad Bunny. This bunny produced a litter of 3 baby bunnies named Rex, Bex and Jinx. Although they were loud, they were freakin' cute, if I do say so myself. They grew up to be Evonne Goolagong.

BIAS TAPE's high energy indie pop songs are original and creative and consistently have the quality of dropping a listener midway into some intriguing story. Lead singer, Amal Bisharat, is a highly trained vocalist with a unique voice, and she is backed by an extremely excellent group of musicians.

WRECKLESS ERIC + THE MANTLES ~ $10 ~ Doors 6:30pm! ~ 6:30 pm - 9:30 pm

(Early show at the Makeout Room
with a solo set by WRECKLESS ERIC!
The Mantles are honored to open.

Doors at 6pm
The Mantles on at 7pm Sharp.
Show over by 9:30pm.

Nothing Eric has to say sounds like it was said by someone else first. Some people can’t take it. Thirty seven years of touring have left him in good shape. He’s coming to town.

“One of the greatest songwriters ever to come out of Great Britain” Marc Riley BBC 6 MUSIC

“amERICa is that rare record. Goulden is grownup, with all of the stereotypical benefits: an air of wisdom, emotional texture, and, perhaps most cliché of all, a seasoned voice. amERICa isn’t complacent or satisfied; Wreckless Eric anatomizes his surroundings with the wide-eyed thrill of discovery. His American flyover reveals simmering cultural disturbances and essential beauty alike.” Pitchfork

Wreckless Eric is Eric Goulden. He was given the name to hide behind. After a while he realised he was stuck with it. Onstage he hides behind nothing, he tells the truth with big open chords, squalls of feedback, lilting enchantment, bizarre stories and backchat.

His new album “amERICa” out now on Fire Records is enjoying universal acclaim from critics and public alike.

“Wreckless Eric has always been a pop musician. That is, he writes melodies with hooks in the chorus and fills his verses with quick, vivid details aimed to make you nod your head in recognition. The precise nostalgia and wry yearning he brings to this slice of autobiography rings true, funny and poignant.” Ken Tucker, NPR/Fresh Air

Jonathan Richman has been writing music, recording and touring for most of his life, gathering the loyalty of fans and fellow artists with his warmth, humor and insightful lyrics. In the early 1970s he formed the Modern Lovers, a major progenitor of punk music. Tommy Larkins was in the groups Naked Prey, Giant Sand and other popular bands in Tucson, Arizona. Jonathan and Tommy continue to record, write music together and tour across the US. Tommy’s drumming along with Jonathan’s guitar and singing create a live experience that is hard to forget.
“I’ve seen Jonathan and Tommy play live many times over the years and their shows genuinely make the world seem like a better place; a feeling that lingers long after the duration of the show. It’s always a thrill to watch them perform.” -long time fan
“Playing shows and making records keeps getting easier and more fun,” Jonathan states, adding, “…me and Tommy play totally different than we played two years ago. We already play a different style than we played on that live DVD, and the way we played then was totally different from the way we played three years before that. I still feel like we’re just starting out, and I still learn new stuff every night.” -Jonathan
Recent recordings:
KEITH bw DOOR TO BOHEMIA 7 inch Blue Arrow Records 2015
O’SUN bw WAIT WAIT 7 inch Blue Arrow Records 2015
