Past Event
Boostive and Lavender Fields
- Friday, April 5, 2019, 9 p.m.
- 710 Beach Club, 710 Garnet Avenue, San Diego
After releasing a series of EPs, electronic hip-hop collective Boostive will drop their debut full-length Cream Supreme at 710 Beach Club on April 5. “The band will be featuring many of the vocalists from the record” says guitarist-bassist Seiji Komo. “The album features 14 musicians from all over California, and we have a four-piece horn section…[it] was created with the intention of representing our live sound, with a full ten-piece band recorded live in the studio. We recorded a majority of the album live to tape at the famous Eastwest Studios in Hollywood and did additional overdubs at Rarified Studios in San Diego. We did all the effect dubbing at Chubb Dub Studios right here in Ocean Beach.” The bill includes Lavender Fields.
Past Event
Plunderbund and Jeff Ousley
- Sunday, April 7, 2019, 7 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.
- Navajo Live, 8515 Navajo Road, San Carlos
- 21+
The release party for Plunderbund’s self-titled debut album happens April 7 at Navajo Live in San Carlos. “Our current fans will be familiar with most of the songs on the album, but ‘Photograph’ is an entirely new tune that will make its first public appearance,” says Daniel Westrick, who sings and plays guitar in the alt-power pop trio. “Since no one can ever hear the lyrics in bar gigs, our songs appear be upbeat, danceable, melodic pop rock, but maybe with the album release fans will get a chance to experience our dark, curmudgeony side. We’ll be releasing a series of music videos beginning in May with ‘Matter of Fact,’ which humorously explores our country’s difficult relationship with reality.”

Group founders Mikey Carnevale (vocals, guitar) and Richard Dotson (bass) have said that they were first inspired to form the band after seeing a show at Santa Ana's Observatory.
