The Lucky Club Band Members: Jerry Hannan - Guitar / Vocals, Steve Mollitz - Keys, Chris Haugen - Guitar Vocals, Dave Brogan - Drums / Vocals, Angleline Saris - Bass, Martin Shore - Percussion) Sounds Like: Fleetwood Mac performing Dylan For Fans Of: Fleetwood Mac, Bob Dylan, Jerry Hannan, Irish Rock, Folk Rock, 70's FM Rock M80 Mailbox Band Members: Josh Clark - Guitar / Vox, Sean Leahy - Bass / Vox, Dave Brogan - Drums Sounds Like: An International Harvester tractor from Birmingham, Alabama exported to Birmingham, england in 1971 with no muffler spewing scalding hot motor oil and searing flesh. For Fans Of: Motorhead, Black Sabbath, Nirvana, Sludge Rock, Stoner Rock When these three San Francisco rockers aren't out on the road with their “main" musical projects they are blasting local clubs with their brand of heavy, driving, shuffling sludge-rock. But don't get the wrong impression - this is not some casual hobby. The primal energy of M80 Mailbox is an essential supplement to the more accessable music these guys make with their more listener-friendly day-bands. M80 Mailbox performs songs entitled “Bite the Hand" or, “Class Dismissed" often donning wife beaters (if possible, as long as no one has been hitting the 12oz. weights to hard or having a “fat day.") It's love songs for Neandrethals. It's like… an M80 firecracker exploding in your Mailbox! New Fangled Wasteland Band Members: Trevor Garrod - Keys / Vox, Steve Adams - Bass / Vox, Chris Haugen - Guitar / Vox, Dave Brogan - Drums / Vox Sounds Like: Trevor Garrod, Steve Adams, Chris Haugen and Dave Brogan jamming on Beck tunes. For Fans Of: Crack Sabbath, Little Feat, Beck, Phish, ALO, Tea Leaf Green, Surprise Me Mr. Davis, Garage a Trois Not a cover band. Not a tribute band. Something else. New Fangled Wasteland takes it's name from a song by Beck and indeed, only plays songs by Beck. The format came out of a question: what if Beck just let his band stretch out jam over the badass grooves he created. NFW takes song lyrics, melody and basic beats of rock's favorite Loser as a starting point to launch extensive musical explorations. The result - a lot of fun for the band and the audience. 4 out of 5 bar owners recommend NFW music for their patrons who dance to music. New Fangled got their start rocking a regular slot at San Francisco shwill-hole Mojito in North Beach. Since then they've been taking their one-two jam-party punch to other SF shwill-holes as well as bigger stages at California summer festivals. Kate Gaffney Band Members: Kate Gaffney - Guitar / Vocals, Joe Kyle Jr. - Bass, Ben Jacobs - Keys / Accordian, Dave Brogan - Drums, James Nash - Guitar, Chris Haugen - Guitar Sounds Like: Bonnie Raitt, Sheryl Crow, Brandi Carlisle, Susan Tedeschi, Bobbie Gentry For Fans Of: Americana, Roots Rock / Pop, Good songs, Good singing, woman singers who can belt a blues and sing a baby to sleep, KFOG With a prodigous voice and uncanny knack for rootsy yet sophisticated songwriting, Kate has been attracting the Bay Area's best musicans to back her up at a little weekly show which is sure to be the laboratory for bigger things to come. Regular side-men include Joe Kyle Jr. and James Nash from the Waybacks, Dave Brogan from ALO and Bay Area session genius Ben Jacobs as well as an ever rotating cast of additional sit-ins from the finest pickers and fiddlers the City has to offer. Originally from Philidelphia, Kate came to California to work with record pruducer Barry Maguire on her album The Coachman and pen songs with Jackie Greene. Stasis Band Members: Dave Brogan - Keyboards, Paul Moore - Keyboards Sounds Like: A soundtrack for space travel. Electronic dewdrops dripping into a technicolor Koi pond. For Fans Of: Brian Eno, Vangellis, Stars of the Lid, Ambient Music Between July 1997 and July 1998 long-time collaborators Dave Brogan and Paul Moore inhabited a 1950's single-family dwelling in Seattle, Washington. And in the basement of that dwelling they set up every keyboard they had, which included electric pianos, organs, old analog synths and even a Casio. Over the course of that year they recorded hundreds of hours of ambient drones, gurgles, swells and filter sweeps live to two-track digital tape. Over the course of the next 12 years they managed to edit the archives down to an album length, self-titled offering and released in 2010. Dubbed as “sonic incense" by Brogan, Stasis exceeds the usual, non-stimulating nothiness of most ambient wallpaper projects with musical edges and revealing modes that illuminate the “space" (of either the room, or the mind) in unexpected and revalatory light. Brogan and Moore are already planning their next album: a recording of a live, on-air radio performance for Seattle station KEXP.
