LEVEL B Theater Pub is going to celebrate Loretta's birthday in style!
Chances are you've seen BROTHER on NBC's 'ER', maybe heard their music on the classic 'Baraka' soundtrack or UPN's ' Twilight Zone.' The band has shared stages with Joe Walsh, John Entwhistle, Linkin Park, and Alicia Keys and are the only independent band to have played the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Fusing signature vocals and guitar with the deep pulse of the didgeridoo, the soaring highs of the bagpipes, and tribal percussion, BROTHER is wholly original. The band's powerhouse live performances are an energetic celebration, captivating and engaging the audience from the first song to the last.
Angus, founding member of BROTHER, arrived in Los Angeles from Australia with his brothers a decade ago as little more than fresh-faced farm boys. In LA, they found themselves busking at Venice Beach, the Hollywood Bowl and Universal Studios to survive. Since those days, BROTHER evolved its trademark sound while touring extensively in the United States and in Canada, Japan, France, Egypt and Australia.
They did it all free from standard industry trends and pigeon-holes. BROTHER has self-released 12 albums, sold more CDs in the USA than any other independent Australian act and has regularly been cited as a role model within the independent scene.
BROTHER live today is a powerhouse celtic tribal trio. The band's legendary live shows have reached a whole new level, with soul brothers Angus, Dalbo and Drew filling the stage with their energy and sound. http://www.brothermusic.com/music
MONTCLAIRE is the latest incantation of Portland-based singer/songwriter Sabrina Velazquez.
Velazquez gained a large following in her hometown of Honolulu, HI before releasing her first EP The Anomaly in 2009. She gained a dedicated fan base that found her playing weekly gigs across Hawaii, and landed her a coveted spot at SXSW 2010. After meeting producer John Askew (The Dodos, Alela Diane, Richmond Fontaine), she released her first full-length album, The Hawk & The Hunter at the end of 2010, shortly after a move to Portland, OR. The album didn't just garner her a larger audience, but a west coast tour, and a coveted spot opening for Cat Power, whom her sound has been compared to.
Inspired by her move to the Pacific Northwest and the desire to expand her sound, Velazquez brought a handful of songs to producer Cory Gray (Carcrashlander, Grand Hallway, Widower), and asked friends Nate Ashely and Brian Wright (Pure Bathing Culture) who were already fixtures in the Portland music scene to join in the process. Montclaire's debut EP release, In the Light of Morning finds Velazquez sticking to her indie rock influences and catchy riffs, while taking a step toward a new form that includes spirited harmonies, heavy percussion, and a blend of warped organ sounds.
A powerful electronic beat kicks-off the EP with Come Along, a track that slowly morphs from into a sea of organic instrumentation that sets the tone for the rest of the album tried-and-true rock meats dreamy mixtures. Standout gems The Shift and Cowards are iconic of Velazquez's ability to capture melody and lyric with memorable phrases. The finale track Lex punctuates with stark lyrics and gauzy layers of vocals and distorted guitars. A first step in a new direction, Montclaire's new sound an exciting new endeavor for her music.
