🥀Friday 10/16 in RENO at @midnightcoffeeroasting 🥀 🥀Friday 10/16 in RENO at @midnightcoffeeroasting 🥀 @quattracenta from Baltimore will be embarking on their first west coast tour in support of their new album III, produced by J Robbins (Jawbox). “Drawing on elements of post-punk, no wave, dub, and psychedelia, Quattracenta’s moody, genre-expansive music echoes influences like Slint, Earth, PJ Harvey, and The Birthday Party, anchored by Matas’ yearning guitar and lyrical meditations on mortality, and framed by Sturgis’ distorted, writhing bass lines and Shearer’s spacious, minimalist drumming. Together, Quattracenta establishes a riveting and dramatic atmosphere on every stage they occupy.“ They’re touring with @riproom from San Francisco, a three-piece art-punk band who may answer the question, what if Fugazi jammed with the B-52’s? Broken Vectors (post-punk, mems of Hate Recorder/Intimate Stares/Silverhoof) First show! Poster by @ohlousy

WELL WELL WELL Look who finally succumbed to the WELL WELL WELL Look who finally succumbed to the rock band capitalism machine and made a dreaded LOCAL BAND TEE SHIRT that will inevitably rot in your drawer until one day you’ll pull it out and say “oh yeah I remember that band” as you dutifully donate it to your local thrift store. You can participate in this sacred ritual with us, as we release the first Rip Room t-shirt in over 10 years as a band. There’s a limited amount that will first be available at the @realtedleo show next Thursday at @bottomofthehillsf The show is sold out, so if you snoozed, you can get one online through Bandcamp or at a show starting Friday 7/10, based on what’s left.
