The Loons album release at the Casbah

Aug 9

“We play psychotic beat music, tapping into the most exciting elements of mid-to-late ’60s rock and roll, and channel it into new, intense, original songs of our own,” says bassist/singer Anja Diabolik, who cofounded the Loons with hubby Mike Stax (the Crawdaddys) in the mid-1990s. The band’s album release party for Memories Have Faces is headlined by Mohama Saz and includes German rock band The Apemen.

Formed in 1996, alt-country rockers Convoy featured former members of Dishwater and future members of Louis XIV. Though they split around late 2003, various reunions have been staged, with this one slated for Little Italy. The bill includes San Diego native Kimmi Bitter (The Night Howls), who takes inspiration from 1970s singer-songwriters and 1960s vintage country.

“We play Southern California rock with an indie feel and a classic-rock approach, with a funky, bluesy alt-vibe,” says Fuzz Huzzi. Their debut full-length Release Me was recorded in 1996, in the El Cajon space that later became Mike Kamoo’s Earthling Studio. The band will be debuting a new full-length called Waiting On the Sun on an all-ages bill which includes Dab and Birds Kill Bugs.
