The Flying Skulls at the Hop Monk July 8th
Sunday, July 4th, 2010I am way out of touch with my people in the Santa Rosa area. I guess that’s why I haven’t heard of “The Best Dance Event in the North Bay” 2 years running (Bohemian). If that alone’s not enough to convince you to check out this event then maybe this year’s ”rag-time hobo theme” will peak your oscillator? San […]

The Rumble Portland
Tuesday, June 8th, 2010It’s not often that a free show goes down at Holocene, so it’s doubly exciting when the band headlining happens to be local lo-fi psychedelic rockers Blood Beach. Sporting a new lineup with the addition of Total Bros guitarist Ethan Jayne, Blood Beach are one of the few bands we’ve seen that can make a […]
Paper Hands sparkles in Santa Rosa debut
Sunday, May 30th, 2010The debut of Michael Richardson’s (Benton Falls, The New Trust) new band Paper Hands last night at the Santa Rosa Art Collective was not that of a smooth, finely polished Los Angeles studio band. There were large gaps between songs, a few hesitations, and some parts of the songs could still use some tweaking. But […]
A few words with Goodriddler
Monday, May 24th, 2010While any casual visitor to Santa Rosa might leave remembering only the Charlie Brown statues that litter the town or the plethora of wine oriented artwork and bars, underneath all the trends is a city brimming with amazing underground musical and artistic talent.
With a recent tour alongside The Americas just […]
An Interview with Westfold
Wednesday, May 5th, 2010
“Conceived in the fires of social injustice, Westfold was born as baby trees that swore revenge on their creator. As they grow their branches, stories and melodies can be heard rustling through the leaves.”
Mark - vocals/guitar
Simon - vocals/guitar
Tony - vocals/bass
Nick - drums
Heather: How did Westfold come together?

Friday, April 30th, 2010Beneath the Hiss of Plastic Tape: An Interview with Will Kapp
Tuesday, April 27th, 2010
You may or may not have caught Will Kapp, also known as Truth Syrum, at his Portland debut at Valentines earlier this year…and if you didn’t, odds are that you probably won’t be seeing him, guitar in hand, at local venues in the near future.
And while some may not have the ability to decode the […]
Chrome Lotus has many nicknames… none of them good
Friday, April 16th, 2010Santa Rosa’s newest hip nightclub is also the city’s newest rock music venue. Let that marinate for a second.
That’s right. The same douchebags and bagettes you see on “Jersey Shore” and “Downtown Santa Rosa” are the first thing you see in Chrome Chodus. Pool tables, a big bar, GIANT televisions everywhere, very, very loud top […]

Interview: Blood Beach
I met with the members of a cool newly formed band who now call themselves Blood Beach, after they recently received a cease and desist letter from an organization who held the copyright to their previous name, Whale Warrior. The band has four members; Shayne Wright, Camella Weedon, Cody […]
