Gabe Galvin and The Deaf + Beards

Monday, December 14th
Admission: $5 suggested donation, $10 minimum
Showtime: 8pm
reservations are recommended

Song is craft again, and we meet Gabe Galvin. A pop - pusher to the core, he sits comfortably driving through this cavernous and malleable medium. His sound is reminiscent of Bacharach or Spector,it breathes lush orchestration, full of color and scope set against a warm, rich baritone spurning melancholy lyrics. Lovelorn themes are treated with insight and candor rather than declarations of defeat giving the songs an uplifting quality that echos the music's pop sensibility.

With this performance, gabe will be acompanied by Stirling Krusing (flaming fire, slow country), Jesse Bryan (jesse and the strippers), Evan Mitchell (oh no and the tiger pit, industries of the blind), Christopher Lee (Glib, Flaming fire, the solvents), Michele Molina (the fruit loops) and Jiliane Russo (thicker than blood, variouse string quartets).

Beards
Fiercely loyal folk quintet seeks audience for sad musics made by drunken buffoons. Audience must have taste for mangled catch phrases and biopics. Audience should appreciate the musical manifestation of fictitiously sad characters in place of the actual feelings of band members at times. Audience should realize that duo is just trying to put this thing right somehow-- to string the morose missives of malconents together by using their bandaged, split-torn skin and grafted-on understanding. Audience should neither pay any homages nor assume anyone is asking them to. Audience is encouraged to "keep it real" at all times, even maddeningly so. Audience should know that the quintet, at any given time, is at the end of their collective ropes, although they love you, and they do, they do, they do, they most certainly do.
