Soraia (Philly), Vicky & The Vengents, The Sweet Bones
Little Steven's Underground Garage, DJ Sid Presley, and Longboard Margarita Bar presents...
Soraia (Philadelphia) - SORAIA epitomizes raw power, unrelenting energy, chaos, and freedom. ZouZou Mansour and Travis Smith are the core of this group -- their songwriting rooted in early garage rock with strong dynamics and melody -- and their live show frenetic and intensely interactive. ZouZou has been referred to as "a true mix of Iggy Pop and Joan Jett" onstage.They have toured constantly throughout the US, playing the dingiest corner dive bar, to the most massive amphitheaters in their career, even opening Milwaukee's Summerfest in 2009. Venue highlights include playing their hometown stadium, Wells Fargo Center, as supporting act, as well as opening for national bands at The Rave in Milwaukee as far back as 2006. Their ever-blossoming writing career includes four studio albums, one live cd, one EP, and many singles.
Their last record garnered their first #1 song with their attitude-laden, punk cover of The Kinks' "(I'm Not) Like Everybody Else" on rock radio in South America (Radio Doble Nueve in Peru) after spending 10 weeks in the Top 40 there. In addition, Little Steven Van Zandt's SiriusXM Radio Station "The Underground Garage" Channel 21 chose their song "Electrocutioner" as the #1 "Coolest Song of the year 2016".
Previous records also reached the Top Ten Songs of the Year, with single "Love Like Voodoo" as the #2 "Coolest Song of 2013", and their cover of The Kinks' "(I'm Not) Like Everybody Else" was the #5 "Coolest Song of 2014" (according to their listeners' poll). In addition, both rock n' roll legends and deejays Bill Kelly, Genya Ravan, Kid Leo, and Michael Des Barres chose Soraia's single "(I'm Not) Like Everybody Else" among their favorite "Top Ten Coolest Songs of 2014".
Above all this, Soraia's ferociously energetic, intoxicating live shows are their trademark calling card, showcasing a will to defy and survive. True rebels of rock 'n' roll, Soraia has overcome hundreds of obstacles other less fortuitous bands would never survive thanks to their unwavering love of music and all that it encompasses.
Whether in a hot, sweaty rock club or huge amphitheatre, Soraia's charisma and spirit transcend the concert stage and reach all those who witness the band live. Rarely will you see a band with as much magic and soul as Soraia, and never will you hear a journey so full of hope and heart as this band's story. Their every breath is a testament that miracles really do exist, and that the underdog really can win the whole world.
Vicky and The Vengents (SoCal) - A Psychedelic Maltshop Punk/Pop/ Rock n' Roll group formed in August of 2008. With a love for all thangs dramatic, melodic, and loud, the girl-groups, guitars, grease and garage are all in the blender.......and their song titles are too long.
The Sweet Bones (SF) - A fury undefined by modern thresholds. The Sweet Bones take garage and punk rock beyond their genres. Core values consist of The Kinks, The Ramones, Primal Scream, The Clash and The MC5, but Latin, Garage, Surf music and Punk influences are also at play.
Spanish lyrics, strumming guitars, raw emotions, harmonies and riffs are all part of this high en- ergy music. The Sweet Bones take listeners through stories of love, sex, drugs, and an avalanche of rock. This is a gang of four modern lovers with battery acid surging through their veins with ferocity. A unique billingual set infects the crowd with this energy.
An Argentinean, a Puerto Rican, a Mexican-American and a 100% American form The Sweet Bones.
Formed in San Francisco, California in 2009, but has had its current makeup since 2013 due to musician changes and parenting for lead singer Pablo Liendro.
Pablo Liendro on vocals and guitar, Guido Ayala on rhythm guitar and vocals, Jonny Perez on bass and Daniel Hodkinson on drums.
The bands independent debut album is out and showcases the members melting pot of influences and experiences from different countries and cultures, all together for the same passion.
