Sleepy Sun & War Drum at The Hood Bar & Pizza
Sleepy Sun -
In the six years since Sleepy Sun released the White Dove 7", the Northern California band sometimes seemed to live the lives of a hundred bands. They toured incessantly, shed old skin, tore down walls with riffs, and explored black smoke, barrel-dark songs, and studio sheenall with a core that has survived since the band crawled from the dusty sage-scented Santa Cruz underbrush.
It's that core, and the experiential sum of those hundred lives, that shape the band's new songs. In the sounds of their new 7", out October 15th via Dine Alone Records, you hear echoes of nights shared with fellows and allies like Arctic Monkeys and Black Angelsa band growing self-assured as studio presencethe elasticity and tensions of a creative brotherhood.
There has always been a sort of effortlessness in what Sleepy Sun doesderived, probably, from decades-old friendships within the band and months stuffed in vans traversing and criss-crossing continents. It's heard readily in their new tracks, as well as the band's now-well-cultivated roles as instrumentalists.
The dovetailed fuzz riffage of guitarists Matt Holliman and Evan Reiss is reconstituted from equal parts primordial stoner ooze and blue crystal shards. Lead vocalist Bret Constantinoblessed with the pipes to holler from the hillsbelts lines that alternately bristle with attitude and melt with drowsy ease. The rhythm section of Brian Tice and Jack Allen is a seamless collision of fluid science, heavy lifting, and the laconicspun into a skyscraper-scaled monster gait.
War Drum-
From the sun-dripped hills of the Southern California deserts comes War Drum, a self described psychedelic rock group. Heavy instrumentation, surf meets desert, and colorful melodies ties the bands sound together, fusing the old desert rock with new spirits.
Following their freshman album, At Old Trails, the band has released a second full length, titled "Fortune Finder" which they spent March - April of 2013 pushing overseas throughout Europe. The band is currently working towards finishing their 3rd full length record, which they will play throughout a heavy European tour during November and December 2014.
