Betty Blowtorch

Doors 7PM | Show 8PM | GA Standing | 21 & Over – ID REQUIRED | Public On Sale -9/18

Betty Blowtorch rose like a mega badass rock and roll phoenix from the ashes of the notoriously crass Los Angeles based punk band, Butt Trumpet. Formed in 1997 by vocalist and bassist, Bianca Butthole, lead guitarist, Blare n’ Bitch, rhythm guitarist, Sharon Needles, and drummer, Judy Molish (Bobsled), the immediate chemistry of Betty Blowtorch would ignite a cannonball of incomparable, timeless rock and roll, forever leaving its mark on the world of music.

With their earliest shows packing and selling out clubs across Los Angeles, the band’s instantaneous success quickly led to their first record, Get Off, produced by Duff McKagen of Guns N’ Roses on Foil Records in 1999.  Later the band would create their first full length record, Are You Man Enough? which was produced and engineered by Matt Hyde (No Doubt, Porno for Pyros) and mixed by Joe Barresi (L7, Veruca Salt, Melvins, Queens of the Stone Age) and released under Foodchain Records in 2001.

Are You Man Enough, which featured a phallic inspired cameo from Vanilla Ice, propelled the band into a relentless touring schedule, frequently headlining with bands such as Nashville Pussy, The Distillers, Faster Pussycat, Motochrist, Goldfinger, Supersuckers, and McKagan’s band, Loaded as well as Vanilla Ice.

2001 would also see Betty Blowtorch win the Best of Los Angeles Music Award for Best Punk/Rock band, tour five weeks on the Warped Tour, make an appearance in the movie, Bubble Boy, and play over 200 shows across the country. Betty Blowtorch’s high speed momentum would come to an abrupt halt in December of that year, when Bianca Butthole was tragically killed by a drunk driver. Her death left as large a hole in the world of music as it did in the lives of her surviving bandmates. Their memories made together, both ecstatic and painful, later be compiled into the award winning documentary, Betty Blowtorch and Her Amazing True Life Adventures (Netflix, Amazon Prime).

After a decade of grieving the loss of Bianca, the surviving members of Betty Blowtorch found themselves together playing once again to honor her memory and celebrate the undeniable impression she had left on the history of rock and roll. Joined by friend, Mia X of the UVs on vocals and bass, their reunion would serve as a moment of unexpected healing, and would reignite the passion fans all over the world had carried for Betty Blowtorch.

Today Betty Blowtorch regularly shares memories of touring the country with Bianca and stories of their crazy true life adventures with their fans on social accounts. Bonded in the determination to keep Bianca’s memory alive, Blaire, Judy and Sharon continue to create new music, rekindling the fire they started over 20 years ago. With the help of Mia X on bass and vocals and new releases expected this fall, the torch keeps on burning.

Ty Segall

Doors 7PM | Show 8PM | GA Standing | 21 & Over – ID REQUIRED | Public On Sale – 8/30 9AM

One of the leaders of the new psych-influenced garage rock scene that erupted in California in the late 2000s, Ty Segall has produced a catalog as prolific as it is diverse. Working as a solo act and in a number of side projects, he has released literally dozens of albums since he left and cut his first project on his own in 2008. Depending on the album, Segall can sound raw (2016’s Emotional Mugger) or refined (2013’s Sleeper), and he’s capable of focused one-man-band efforts (2009’s Lemons) as well as sprawling and eclectic releases with a range of collaborators (2018’s Freedom’s Goblin). He proves just as compelling when stripping back the noise and adding synths, as on 2021’s Harmonizer, composing film music in classic style (2022’s Whirlybird), or recording at home on his own (2022’s Hello, Hi). No matter the sonic setting, Segall’s strong melodic frameworks, creative restlessness, and the infectious intensity of his songs and performances are the constants in his ever-evolving discography.

Ty Segall first garnered public acclaim as the lead singer of Orange County, California garage rock revivalists . With that band, he practiced a rawer, snottier take on //-style rock, occasionally delving into more retro territory. When that band splintered, he struck out on his own and started cranking out lo-fi albums, beginning with a self-titled effort on in 2008. On his solo album Lemons, however, Segall delivered a much more traditional sound, studiously re-creating ’60s guitar tones and drenching his tracks in old-school reverb. The stomping results bore a striking resemblance to early garage masters such as and , as well as proto-punks and bedroom folk antecedent Alexander “Skip” Spence. He returned in 2010 with Melted.

The year 2011 was busy for him, with two albums — Live in Aisle Five and Goodbye Bread — scheduled for release, as well as an EP of covers, Ty-Rex. Goodbye Bread marked a turn toward Segall’s softer side, evoking a -like take on quieter and more introspective singer/songwriter fare. In 2012, Segall collaborated with ‘ offshoot on Hair. This mini-album married Segall’s -soaked pop hooks and production with ‘s -influenced, acid-damaged garage sounds. Two more Segall albums followed that year, including June’s Slaughterhouse with on , and Twins, the completely solo follow-up to Goodbye Bread released on in October.

Segall’s profile grew, and 2013 began with several reissues of previous projects, including a 2009 collaboration with entitled Reverse Shark Tank, as well as his earlier garage trio ‘ out of print 2008 debut. In 2013, Segall also released the debut album from his side project , in which he played drums rather than guitar. Also in 2013, he showed off a new approach, recording a departure from the usual and titling it Sleeper — all of the songs were acoustic ballads. Not one to rest on his laurels, Segall returned to the studio to record the 17-track follow-up Manipulator in 2014, released by in August. A live concert by at the San Francisco club the Rickshaw Stop was released in February 2015 as part of the Live in San Francisco album series from . Another live recording of Segall and his band, preserving his set at the 2013 Pickathon Festival, was released in May 2015 as a split album with the garage/psych act , who were also taped at the same event. The year 2015 also saw the arrival of the second album, and an expanded reissue of the Ty-Rex EP.

Segall kept up his usual frantic pace the next year, releasing the Emotional Mugger album in January, then touring behind it extensively. He also formed the band , with ‘s Charles Moothart and Chris Shaw of . They released a self-titled album in July. The next Ty Segall album was a self-titled effort in early 2017 on , recorded at ‘s studio and featuring a full band that included longtime collaborator and ‘s on guitar and vocals. Well-received, the album reached number ten on Billboard’s Top Independent Albums chart. In early 2018, the prolific Segall brought out Freedom’s Goblin, a 19-song album that reunited him with , , and , while expanding his sound with the use of a horn section, then released Joy a few months later — a collaboration with old running mate on a batch of off-kilter psych rock songs. In October 2018, Segall released Fudge Sandwich, in which he put his own unique spin on 11 cover tunes, interpreting artists ranging from to . The same month, he also brought out a low-key cassette-only release, Orange Rainbow, created in a run of just 55 copies for sale at a show of his visual art at a Los Angeles gallery. In January 2018, two live shows in Los Angeles on the tour supporting Freedom’s Goblin were recorded by . Highlights from the concerts were released in March 2019 on the album Deforming Lobes, credited to Ty Segall & Freedom Band.

After indulging his rock side on most of his 2018 releases, Segall took a detour with First Taste, released in August 2019, which was more clearly informed by vintage pop and folk-rock sounds. While stuck at home in 2020, he took the opportunity to record an EP of songs, which was released in March under the title Segall Smeagol. He also spent time recording with his usual band of cohorts (, , Moothart, and keyboardist ), working separately for the most part. Denée Segall of also joined the session, writing and singing on two songs. The resulting Harmonizer was co-produced by Cooper Crain of and is the first album done at Segall’s recently constructed Harmonizer Studios. The record, the cleanest, most synth-heavy entry in his catalog, was released by in August 2021.

His first soundtrack album, Whirlybird, appeared in early 2022; the film, a documentary about reporters who chased stories in helicopters in the 1980s and ’90s, inspired Segall to explore a less rock-oriented sound, with keyboards, percussion, and sometimes strings dominating the music. Following the experimentation of Whirlybird, 2022’s Hello, Hi was a shift back to a simpler approach, with Segall handling all instruments and vocals himself, primarily using acoustic guitars and layered harmonies. While he seemed busy enough with his own projects, he made time to work with friends and fellow musicians he admired. He contributed instrumental performances to albums by (2021’s Geist) and & (2022’s Blind Date Party). He produced recordings for (2021’s Strength of Spring) and (2022’s Squeeze). And Segall collaborated with on the 2021 single “She’s a Beam” b/w “Milk Bird Flyer.”

Say She She

Doors 7PM | Show 8PM | GA Standing | 21 & Over – ID REQUIRED | Public On Sale – 8/11 10AM


“Boundary busting discodelic soul” (The Guardian), five stars

“The funkiest sh*t we’ve heard in a while” (KCRW)

“This band are going to be absolutely huge” (Deb Grant, BBC 6)

“Absolutely dynamite” (Amy Lamé, BBC 6)

“Superb psych soul-disco debut from New York female harmony trio…. A glorious
overload of joyful elation and spiritual elevation” (MOJO), four stars

 

Say She She, the soulful female-led trio, stand rock solid on discodelic duty with
their boundary breaking sophomore album Silver.

“Tell them what you want – the time will soon be gone…”
Like the lyrics from their latest single C’est si Bon (it’s so good!) that features on
the album, the honeyed harmonising trio – consisting of the three strong voices
of Piya Malik (El Michels Affair staple feature, and former backing singer for
Chicano Batman), Sabrina Mileo Cunningham and Nya Gazelle Brown who front
the band – stay true to their word. These women have something to say and
they are not afraid to play with the medium. Leaning into their “boundary
busting discodelic soul” (The Guardian), their flawless harmonies twist and
writhe, capturing listeners hearts with buttery vocals, fat funky basslines,
catchy hooks and up-tempo grooves.

Silver oozes with quirk and the album is an adventure through 16 songs – a
double sided LP that opens with an incantation and ends with the title track that
will lull you into a dreamscape with a locked groove of silver noise.
The needle drops on the powerful opening track “Reeling.” Released in January,
it immediately made #1 in KCRW’s Top 10 charts. The track was playlisted at
BBC’s 6 Music and the 45 (w/ “Don’t You Dare Stop”) charted in the UK.
Opening with the fiery incantation to “Kick the door down, smash the ceiling,
leave ‘em reeling!” the song sets the mood for a musical journey imbued with
political grit, along with “Echo in The Chamber,” a song addressing gun control.
It includes the tongue-in-cheek wit of “Entry Level,” which satirizes the
condescending underestimation of a boss.

Silver span’s the depth of modern relationships – debunking fairytale myths and
remembering how Romeo and Juliet actually ended up. “Never Say Never” toys
with the irony of having so many choices that you can’t make any. Nevertheless
the lyrics are indented with moments of romantic fantasy…because even the
unblinded cynic still holds hope and wants to fall in love.
“Are we ever together? Do we even remember nothing last forever…but we never
say never.”

The album shakes it all up with a laissez-faire, celebratory attitude in full-on
french discodelia of “C’est si Bon,” encouraging listeners to throw their hands up
and concede to joy because its all going to be alright and peaks with
heightened elements of operatic funk that shine through in tracks like “Bleeding
Heart” and “Questions.”

The LP further features their beloved debut single “Forget Me Not,” a gritty funk
send-up inspired by NYC’s Guerilla Girls, which made a huge first splash. It was
premiered by DJ Novena Carmel on KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic and
described by Jeremy Sole as “the funkiest sh*t I’ve heard in a while!”
Ultimately Silver is an exhilarating roller coaster ride, embracing the
multifaceted nature of what it means to be a modern femme. Pillared with
political grit, the trio skillfully employs double entendres and humor to
encourage open dialogue and fearlessly address important matters that
demand attention. “We will not go back!!”, they exclaim in their billowing protest
anthem “NORMA,” written in response to the decision to overturn Roe v Wade
and in support of access to abortion rights.

Silver was entirely written and recorded live to tape at Killion Sound studio in
North Hollywood earlier this year and produced by Sergio Rios (of Orgone).
While these analog recording techniques help root Say She She’s sound in a
bedrock of tonal warmth that only tape can achieve, it is also their process of
cutting the track in the moment and capturing the magic of communal
creativity that has seen their sound described as “a glorious overload of joyful
elation and spiritual elevation” (MOJO) and “infused with the wonky post-disco
spirit of early ’80s NYC” (The Guardian). Sonically, it’s reminiscent of the likes of
Rotary Connection, Asha Puthli, Liquid Liquid, Grace Jones and Tom Tom Club.
Say She She formed in a classic New York tale of friends that met by following
the music: the downtown dancefloors, through the Lower East Side floorboards
and up to the rooftops of Harlem. Their debut album, Prism, was released last
fall and celebrated by NPR Music, LA Times, 5 stars from The Guardian and rave
reviews from countless others, including MOJO, calling the album “a superb
psych soul-disco debut.”

Prism hit #1 on KCRW’s Top 30 Albums and Best of 2022 lists and received
significant spins from several tastemaker radio stations across the US and UK.
The band also had key live performances with KCRW, KEXP, WFUV (including
last year’s annual Holiday Cheer event at the Beacon Theater), and WXPN (with
a World Cafe Live performance). The band made their national television debut
this year with a 3-song performance on CBS Saturday Sessions and a
corresponding billboard in Times Square.

Say She She has collaborated with a roaring roster of musicians including
members of The Dap-Kings, The Extraordinaires, Peanut Butter Wolf, The
Shacks and Chicano Batman. Their current band plays as a seven piece and
includes members of Los Angeles cult-funk band Orgone, who they have been
touring with extensively. Live concert highlights for a band that just began
touring include their Glastonbury Festival debut this year, at Central Park
Summerstage’s 2023 opening night and the Hollywood Bowl. Their live show
injects funk and pop with a heavy dose of dance and disco beats, and is an
outrageous time like no other.

Meet Me @ The Altar is here to dismantle rock music’s stereotypes riff by riff. The band–comprised of guitarist-bassist Téa Campbell, drummer Ada Juarez and lead vocalist Edith Victoria–has reignited the genre with their refreshing mix of earworm pop melodies, blazing guitar riffs, and punk attitude. Now, the band is staking their claim in rock history with their debut album, Past // Present // Future, released via Fueled By Ramen on March 10th.

The record finds the bandmates experimenting more than ever as they solidify a signature sound while also ripping apart the “nostalgia act” box they didn’t ask to be placed in. Each word in the album title holds a significant meaning: “Past” pays respect to the iconic bands who’ve influenced them (including Paramore, Twenty One Pilots, P!NK, Demi Lovato, and Avril Lavigne). “Present” finds the band redefining what a modern-day rock band looks and sounds like, while “Future” looks ahead at how the band will impact the genre and where they might go from here.
