Minus Radio
This will be their LAST SHOW EVER!!!!…Long Beach’s Minus Radio consisted of Bill Cutts, Rudy de Anda, and Gerardo Gonzalez playing some good ‘ol psychedelic / jazz / experimentation but if you’re looking for a description of their music, here are some of their favorites:
“It’s like if Captain Beefheart wrote punk rock.”
“…beefheartian no wave hardcore.”
“…it sounds a little like Mark E Smith fu*king Thurston Moore in the back of Atreyu’s car.”

“Low End Theories”
an evening of solid solo bass w/
C.J. Boyd
Jeffrey Roden
Orlando Greenhill
info:
C.J. Boyd will tell you “It’s usually just me playing bass guitar with a loop pedal. Sometimes I throw in some double bass, harmonica, voice, kalimba, drum, foot stompin and such.”

Jeffrey Roden describes it best himself: “It is densely beautiful, stark, and its low tones transmit the vibration and sound of god’s voice; god being perfect goodness, perfect love, perfect silence, perfect beauty, all things expressed with the intent to reveal perfect love, perfect silence, perfect beauty.”

Orlando Greenhill (Create(!), Havalina) says: “I like the low-end sound and the way it mediates between the other instruments. It’s like the instrument negotiates friendships.”

Vavak

KBEACH DJ’s
info:
Equally balanced with current forward thinking trends and his origins of eclectic gritty-beach soul, VAVAK is finding a niche within the diverse sounds of Long Beach, California. From the city that gave us Snoop Dogg, Sublime and a notable jazz and blues scene, VAVAK have given us a sound that has been described as a touch of Coldplay with a dash of Tom Waits. Songs wrenched from the soul, VAVAK’s music will no doubt be wowing people the world over in no time.
