Mojo’s Pick of the Week: Thirteen Seven

mojo — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 22:13:12 +0000

The music of Edinburgh’s Thirteen Seven is a chewy, nutty candy bar of hooks and riffs that calls Muse to mind as much as it does Stone Temple Pilots. This power trio released their first album “Illuminated” earlier this year and are currently riding a wave of great reviews. Hear them now on the band’

Mojo’s Pick of the Week: Zepparella

mojo — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 16:07:50 +0000

Zepparella – San Francisco’s own all-girl tribute to the mighty Led Zeppelin, comprised of former members of Bottom and A/C-DShe (Clementine on drums, Gretchen Menn on guitar, Nila Minnerok on bass, and fronted by Anna Kristina). What can I say about these incredible women? They are extremely talented, extremely hard working, very cool and quite easy on the eyes to boot. I’ve seen them several times and frankly I think they do Zeppelin better than Zeppelin. Their passion for the songs, their raw talent, and their camaraderie is so infectious that you’ll be smitten as soon as they take the stage. They are rockin Petaluma’s legendary Mystic Theatre this Saturday night with the always-energetic Dave Rude Band. Hope to see you there!

Mojo’s Pick of the Week: Circle of Thorns

Circle of Thorns is a dark alt-metal six piece band from New York that is both brutally heavy and surprisingly easy to listen to. Underneath the relentless face-pounding is an experimental thread that nearly puts them in a progressive category. Fans of Pantera and Alice in Chains will dig Circle of Thorns’ brand of brutal beats!

Mojo’s Pick of the Week: Six Weeks Sober

mojo — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 14:09:32 +0000

The two fisted punch of Six Weeks Sober is a killer mix of radio-friendly hooks and melodic hard rock. Hailing from San Franicsco, it’s not surprising that their sound is a little Death Angel and a little Papa Roach. They will be playing the Battle of the Bands at the DNA Lounge this Friday September 10, and then will be heading to Nashville to record their debut album with Tesla’s Troy Luccketta! Keep an eye out, cuz Six Weeks Sober may be the next big thing from the Bay Area!

Mojo’s Pick of the Week: ORCHID

mojo — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 02:49:20 +0000

San Francisco’s doom rock quartet ORCHID thunders their own brand of heavy fuzz like the second coming of Black Sabbath dropped through a wormhole from another dimension where the 70s are alive and well. They have an EP entitled “Through the Devil’s Doorway” under their belt and have just finished mastering their much-anticipated first full length album. This Thursday they are playing Thee Parkside in San Francisco with other local faves Anvil Chorus and My Victim. Don’t miss it!
