Thanks for listening!! Josh Braff – Guitar/Vocals Brett Hightower – Guitar Jared Janzen – Drums/VocalsAbout the opening act:A veteran of the Austin Music scene, Jon grew up in New York and became a brown belt in Jiu Jitsu just to make it home from school safely on the tough streets of Harlem. The deep soul of BB King’s “Live at the Regal” and the ferocious intensity of Eric Clapton’s guitar work were life changing for Jon. Playing guitar became Jon’s reason for living. The talent and passion of teenage Jon were quickly recognized by jazz greats such as Emily Remler and Hiram Bullock, both of whom took him on as a private student. Remler even referred to Jon as her protégé. His talent earned him a full scholarship to the Berklee College of Music. “John Scofield and Mike Stern (both of whom played with MIles Davis) were both as big a part of my path as Emily and Hiram. They would hand me off in some cases from one to the other when they toured,” recalls Geiger. “I studied at their knee in their homes and no one cheered louder when I got my scholarships,” Geiger says. After completing his studies in Boston, Jon promptly moved to Austin and began working alongside the Austin greats and playing Antones and the Texas blues haunts.

Coats blankets a number of these tracks with layers of electronics and Morris sounds timeless.OFF! have never sounded better. BETTER. Sure, there are some Black Flag/CircleJerks Morris ghosts inhere, Burning Brides riffs, Thundercat calisthenics, and Trail ofDead burns, but that is just the skin of the thing.“War Above Los Angeles” is the cornerstone of the record, carrying all of the scars of where the band was before, along with otherworldly interplay by a group with phasers now set for stun.That is not to say the no nonsense 90 second furnace blasts aren’t in full effect on tracks like “Kill To BeHeard,” but as one of the architects of punk rock, singer Keith Morris says,”After making music for as long as I have, it was time to use a palette that includes lime green, turquoise, and magenta instead of the typical colors and shades that were involved in all of the other break neck and car chase scenarios.Miles Davis with Herbie Hancock and the Headhunters as opposed toMilo Goes to College.”The band is working on a film to accompany the record. Coats explains,“Since thinking of the album as a soundtrack to a weird sci-fi movie gave us permission to experiment, and the film explains, in a fantastical way, the creation of the album, they both go hand in hand as an overall art project.”Free LSDis a build of subterranean howl that lifts off into the cosmos of Sun Ra and label mates,The Stooges.OFF! is supercharged for takeoff in what has now been confirmed as humanity’s new year zero.For any additional questions, please check out our FAQ page here: https://www.saintrocke.com/faqs/If your questions are not answered there, please reach out to us at info@saintrocke.com

The English Beat
THE ENGLISH BEAT142 Pacific Coast Hwy,Hermosa Beach, CA 9025421+ Only One tempestuous weekend in March 1979 was not only the date of the Three Mile Island nuclear incident, but also, in Birmingham, England, the very first show by a nascent band known as The Beat. Introduced as “the hottest thing since the Pennsylvania meltdown”, the band had a sense that the next few years could well be explosive! The Beat hailed from working class, industrial Birmingham, England. When The Beat rushed on to the music scene in 1979, it was a time of social, political and musical upheaval. Into this storm came The Beat, trying to calm the waters with their simple message of love and unity set to a great dance beat. The Beat were all about inclusion, and this showed in their personnel and their music influences. The band crossed over fluidly between soul, reggae, pop and punk, and from these they created an infectious dance rhythm. They became an overnight sensation and one of the most popular and influential bands of the British Two Tone Ska movement. Consummate showman that he is, Dave Wakeling has continued to keep The Beat alive and strong. Dave continues to tour the world as The English Beat with an amazing all-star ska backing band playing all the hits of The Beat, General Public, and his new songs.
