Event information

It is with the very greatest pleasure that we welcome two of San Francisco's finest NODZZZ and THE MANTLES.


NODZZZ
'ridiculously perfect songs' -VICE
'like a secret everyone wants to share' - Coke Machine Glow
'Nodzzz sound has its roots in the buzzing, jangling, nervous guitar pop of The Feelies and the neurotic but knowing world of Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers, and takes its Do-It-Yourself inspiration from homemade, intensely personal, idiosyncratic voices like Beat Happening, Guided By Voices and Television Personalities. ' Panache

THE MANTLES
'Taking a few pages out of the mid-80's jangle pop underground. pre-grunge Midwestern ruckus and the Flying Nun-era New Zeeland crew, The Mantles are one more reason San Francisco's staying vital.' - Raven Sings The Blues
...'distilling a contemporary pop / psych concoction that mixes equal parts early chills with early dream syndicateZ and really, who among us wouldn't want a bottle of that with which to quietly tipple the day away? recorded by greg ashley, the lp taps said hybrid, and if anything, burrows deeper into the core of rock, extracting essential magma that fuses early sf ballroom psychedelia, byrds-ian jangle-pop, and the velvet underground's extraordinary ability for serpentine leads and bridges. and yep, that pretty much covers all the bases.' - Rough Trade
