> DESCRIPTION
Like the seven blonde adventuresome heroines from which they borrow their moniker, Brooklyns Vivian Girls have moxie. The all female, Henry Darger-inspired trio packs abrasive
power and infectious harmonies that recall groups like The Raincoats
and B-52s. Kimberly Chun in the SF Bay Guardian writes about The Mantles,
Whats on your Mantles, San Franciscos unsung pink and blue little stars
twinkling almost imperceptibly in our fair citys formidable psych-pop
firmament? The first time I saw them, they blew all the crusty old
candlesticks and forgotten family photos off my musty tabletop with a
hypnotic yet somehow ebullient drone pop redolent of the Clean and
other much-revered Kiwi rockers. Experimental Dental School, formerly of Oakland, now of Portland, is far from placeable; imagine a more scatterbrained D
eerhoof or sharper, higher contrast second-coming of Captain Beefheart. Nrsz also play. Club Sandwich is an all-ages show collective putting on
events for under-the-radar musicians, mixing the best touring &
local music. Just added: K.I.T.
