Burro Bar’s 5 Year Anniversary Party with LA LUZ // MASSENGER // THE GUN HOES // GOV CLUB

Commodite Booking in conjuction with Burro Bar PROUDLY present… BURRO BAR’S FIVE YEAR ANNIVERSARY PARTY!!!!!featuring: LA LUZ (Seattle, WA/Hardly Art)http://laluzband.tumblr.com/https://laluz.bandcamp.com/ MASSENGER (Ventura, CA/Burger Records)http://massenger.bandcamp.com/https://www.facebook.com/massengerban… THE GUN HOES (Miami, FL/Lolipop Records)https://thegunhoes.bandcamp.com/https://www.facebook.com/thegunhoes/?… GOV CLUB (Jax,Fl)https://www.facebook.com/govclubtunes… For most, a brush with death would be cause for retreat, reflection, and reluctance, but Seattle band La Luz found something different init: resilience. Having survived a high-speed highway collision shortly after releasing their 2013 debut LP It’s Alive, La Luz, despite lasting trauma, returned to touring with a frequency and tirelessnessthat put their peers to shame. Over the past year-and-a-half of performing, the band arrived at a greater awareness of their music’s ability to whip eager crowds into a frenzy. In response, front-woman Shana Cleveland’s guitar solos took on a more unhinged quality. The basslines (from newly-installed member Lena Simon) became more lithe and elastic. Stage-dives and crowd-surfing grew to be as indelible a part of the La Luz live experience as their onstage doo-wop-indebteddance moves. When it came time to record Weirdo Shrine, their second album—due outAugust 7th—the goal was to capture the band’s restless live energyand commit it to tape. In early 2015, Cleveland and Co. adjourned to asurf shop in San Dimas, California where, with the help ofproducer/engineer Ty Segall, they realized this vision. Tracking mostof the album live in shared quarters, La Luz chose to leave in anyhappy accidents and spur-of-the-moment flourishes that occurred whilerecording. Cleveland’s newly fuzzed-up guitar solos—which nowincorporated the influence of Japanese Eleki players in addition tothe twang of American surf and country—were juxtaposed against thegroup’s most angelic four-part harmonies to date. The organs of AliceSandahl and the drumming of Marian Li Pino were granted extra heft anddimension. Thematically, Cleveland channeled Washingtonian poetRichard Brautigan on “You Disappear” and “Oranges,” and soughtinspiration from Charles Burns’ Seattle-set graphic novel Black Hole. The resulting album is a natural evolution of the band’s self-styled“surf noir” sound—a rawer, turbo-charged sequel that charts themes ofloneliness, infatuation, obsession and death across eleven tracks,from the opening credits siren song of “Sleep Till They Die” to thewidescreen, receding-skyline send-off of “Oranges” and its bittersweetepilogue, “True Love Knows.” In describing Weirdo Shrine, Segall remarked that it gave him a visionof a “world…burning with colors [he’d] never seen, like mauve that isliving.” In “Oranges,” the Brautigan poem which inspired theaforementioned track of the same name, the poet writes of a surreal“orange wind / that glows from your footsteps.” These hue-basedallusions are apt: the sound of La Luz is (appropriately) vibrant, andalive with a kaleidoscopic passion. Weirdo Shrine finds them at theirmost saturated and cinematic.
