LIVE FIVE: Amerikan Bear, Jordan Krimston, Ristband, The Sea Monks, Gilbert Castellanos
Jan 30
Based in Vista, psychedelic northern soul band Amerikan Bear plays 1960s-inspired underground garage rock. They’ve been busy over the past couple of years with new releases available online such as Dreams and Seconds. The bill includes Chorduroy and Sun Jelly.
Jordan Krimston
Jan 31
Jordan Krimston is a vet of bands like Pandemonium (all teenagers involved with the local School of Rock when the band was founded in 2010), Lua (formed from the ranks of the School of Rock), Big Bad Buffalo (whose 2012 debut self-titled three-song EP was released while Krimston was still in high school), Band Argument (an analog-digital hybrid), Weatherbox, and Miss New Buddha. He’ll debut a new album on a bill that includes Ten Bulls, Kan Kan, and turntable sets from Make Believe DJs.
Ristband
Jan 31
Ristband was co-founded by singer-guitarist Dave Gladish, a former member of Roxy Monoxide whose other bands have included the Bobby Sanchez Combo, Charlie Imes’ Hodad Surf Club, and Miff Laracy’s Bumbershoot. Their first album Underpowered and Overdriven debuted back in 2010, and they’ve gone on to release several more full-lengths, including Balancing Act and Rally.
The Sea Monks
Feb 1
The Sea Monks perform a mix of rockabilly and blues with a small twist of funk. The group’s founding brothers Noah and Kai Kapchinske recruited their dad Jason, who had to learn how to play bass in order to help fill out the band. They later became a quartet with the addition of Jeff Houck of the Sickstring Outlaws.
Gilbert Castellanos
Gilbert Castellanos Jazz Jam at Panama 66
Feb 5
Born in Guadalajara, Mexico, award-winning trumpeter and jazz icon Gilbert Castellanos first earned local cred with the Charles McPherson quintet. He attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, and then Cal Arts in Los Angeles. He heads up the Young Lions Jazz Conservatory, a non-profit year-round after-school program that focuses on the educational component of music: jazz theory, history, cultural context, Latin/afro/Brazilian rhythms, and masterclasses. His weekly jazz jam features Young Lions at 7 pm and an open jam session at 8 pm.
