Bleached Tonight at Gasa Gasa with The Paranoyds and People Museum
There is a lot of really excellent music going on around town tonight. Gasa Gasa has an outstanding lineup headlined by Los Angeles pop punk outfit Bleached. Bleached is lead by sisters Jennifer and Jessica Clavin—who as a group have just released their third and, I think, best record—Don’t You Think You’ve Had Enough. I love this record, it has a clean precise pop sound that you will carry away with you. Check out the video for “Hard To Kill” below. They are joined by fellow west coasters The Paranoyds and excellent local duo—People Museum.
Hand Habits and Whitney at Tipitina’s Tuesday
On Tuesday night Tipitina’s will play host to one of the great shows of the fall when Hand Habits opens for Whitney. With Hand Habits second record—placeholder— Meg Duffy has created a wonderful juxtaposition between the anxieties of everyday live and the calm progressions of the folk and Americana sounds—this album is definitely on pace to make a lot year end best lists. Duffy will set the stage for Chicago folk-rock ensemble Whitney. Whitney made a splash with their debut record in 2016 and they returned last week with follow up—Forever Turn Around. Whitney’s sound is a blend of classic rock and modern folk that flows effortlessly across the ear. You won’t want to miss this one. Check out the video for “Used To Be Lonely” below.
Sinkane at Gasa Gasa Wednesday
Sinkane is back with another excellent record out and another burst of momentum. This group has produced some of the most interesting funk music of the last five years and certainly come a long way from playing a near empty One Eyed Jacks five years ago. Every time this group comes through a town, it’s a party. From the first note, the entire audience can’t help but move. Leader check out the video for “Everybody” below.
