Twang N Bang VIII
20 AugHonestly can’t believe we are on Twang N Bang VIII already. Every Labor Day is extra special for us here at Twang n Bang since we get to do our yearly celebration of killer bands. When we first started out it was all San Luis Obispo based bands but since then we’ve started welcoming bands that come through SLO often from such distant lands as Santa Barbara, Sacramento and even Austin, Texas! This years lineup is killer, check it out:
50 Watt Heavy
Grub Dog & the Amazing Sweethearts
The Trouble Spots
Dead Volts
the Mutineers
Blossom Rock
American Dirt
Cuesta Ridge
St. James Infirmary
King Walrus & the Magicians
AMerican Dirt – July 27th
16 JulLong awaited and well worth it….
We are very proud to be a part of the debut album from American Dirt, “Heavy Thought & Riddle”. These guys have been putting in the work and becoming a really great band. This album is a killer set of tunes that you will undoubtedly be singing along with well after you finally stop listening and are just trying to get some damn sleep. Trust me I know these things.
We celebrate the release of this album on Saturday July 27th at Camozzi’s in Atascadero. American Dirt will of course be laying down a set featuring songs from the new album and with guest drummer Mark Folkrod holding down the drum throne. Mark’s band the Dead Volts (ever heard of them?) are on the bill as well as the debut of former drummer JP’s brand spanking new band Harvey Dent. So yeah it’s gonna be a pretty killer busy night.
