Five local shows over the next two weeks<\/em><\/p>\n

Jen Van Tieghem |\u00a0Uptown News <\/p>\n

Soft Lions EP Release with Painted Palms and Mike
\nSempert at Soda Bar
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

9 p.m., Saturday, June 7\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

$10<\/b><\/p>\n

Alt-rock power trio Soft Lions are following their debut \u201cNo Peace\u201d with another solid four-song offering. The \u201cEarth Energy\u201d EP once again highlights singer Megan Liscomb\u2019s commanding vocals as well as her chops on the guitar. She is backed by Lex Pratt\u2019s ethereal vocal styling and Jon Bonser on drums. As their new tunes show a dreamy side to the band, it makes sense that they\u2019re paired with headliners Painted Palms \u2013 a psychedelic pop outfit from San Francisco.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Lovebirds, The Queen of Cups, and Kalashnikov My Wife at Tin Can Alehouse<\/b><\/p>\n

9 p.m., Wednesday, June 11<\/b><\/p>\n

$5<\/b><\/p>\n

Many albums cover relationships ending and ensuing heartbreak. Not as many chronicle the breakup of the band\u2019s own members who are continuing a musical partnership. The latest by pop-folk duo The Lovebirds, \u201cBreakup Shmakeup\u201d, tackles the emotions and grief of the couple\u2019s own romantic ending along with nuances of hope and optimism. Their beautiful harmonies on songs such as \u201cBoat Train\u201d are just one reason to make it out for this show.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dead Feather Moon,
\nStrange Vine, and Chess
\nWars at Casbah<\/b><\/p>\n

9 p.m., Friday, June 13<\/b><\/p>\n

$10+<\/b><\/p>\n

Dead Feather Moon\u2019s music has evolved from their alt-country beginnings to explore psychedelic sounds and singer Justen Berge\u2019s falsetto. The experimental new tunes still fit in with their rock \u2018n\u2019 roll catalog which makes for a vivacious live show. They\u2019ll be joined for this one by two enthralling duos: blues-rockers Strange Vine from Fresno and local hard rockers Chess Wars. [Full disclosure: My boyfriend is the singer\/guitarist for CW so I\u2019m a tad biased about where you should find good luck on this Friday the 13th.]<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Burning of Rome and
\nThe New Kinetics at
\nThe Ch\u00e9 Caf\u00e9 Collective<\/b><\/p>\n

7 p.m., Saturday, June 14<\/b><\/p>\n

$10<\/b><\/p>\n

While The Ch\u00e9 Caf\u00e9 Collective fights to stay open the music plays on (at least through the summer). The Burning of Rome cut their teeth at this venue and return to give fans of all ages a taste of their new space rock, pop-infused album, \u201cThe Year of the Ox\u201d. For those that missed their crowd-surfing, light-swinging album release last month, now\u2019s your chance to make up for it. Re-formed group The New Kinetics, whose garage rock antics get an extra kick from lead couple Brian Reilly and Birdy Bardot\u2019s equally great vocals, will join TBOR.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>
The High Rolling Loners<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

High Rolling Loners CD Release with
\nMudgrass and Abe West at Soda Bar<\/b><\/p>\n

8:30 p.m., Tuesday, June 17\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

$5<\/b><\/p>\n

Rumor has it the High Rolling Loners\u2019 debut album Match and Kerosene is a project they began with recordings several years ago. The length of their process is due, at least in part, to producer Mark Neill (The Black Keys, J. Roddy Walston and the Business) being in such high demand. The members of the Loners also play in other local bands (The Darrows, Old Tiger) adding to the complex timetable. The band is finally set to release their blues and country-inspired album and from the samples we\u2019ve heard it\u2019ll be worth the wait. Singers John Verruto and Ryan Bartell share duties delivering dark gritty vocals and lighter harmonies respectively. The release show is well matched with alt-country bands Mudgrass and Abe West. See you there!<\/p>\n

Correction: It was incorrectly stated the Soft Lions show will take place at The Hideout. It’s really at Soda Bar. We apologize for the error.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
