The rocking band Ape Machine from Portland, Oregon will be here in Sacramento at the Press Club (Club Pow) on November 16th. The band includes former Evening Episode (web site, wikipedia) member Brian True. Check ‘em out, they will rock your socks.
The Press Club is at 2030 P St, Sacramento in Sacramento and the show starts around 8:00. Check out music and video from Ape Machine on MySpace.
The annual Sacramento Music Awards (The Sammies) were held on July 17th at the Crest Theater. You can view the results on the Sacramento News & Review site. Our friend and fellow music lover Mike D attended, here is his take on the evening:
The Sammies were different this year. A different MC. There were only about 6 or 7 groups that played. But each group played about 5 songs. I would rather have seen more groups playing 2 or three songs. My favorite was Butterscotch, fronted by a black chick who did a bunch of base noises and brass noises just with her mouth, while playing another instrument and singing. She could do the whole thing without any help, but on several of her songs she had a couple others filling in the cracks. She did different things, some jazzy, some hip hoppity.Â
Also saw The Losin’ Streaks (metal – a couple big guitars), The Evening Episode, An Angle (basic rock and roll – I liked them), Live Mannikins (four hip hop dudes – they were also good), Ricky Berger (kind of cute, softer, talented, somewhat quirky), The New Humans (I don’t remember much about them). Some very attractive women called the Body something or other giving out the awards.
So did you go? And if so what did you think?
It’s almost here! This coming Thursday, the 17th, will be the annual Sacramento Music Awards (the Sammies) at the Crest Theater. Performers this year include Butterscotch, The New Humans, Ricky Berger, Live Manikins, Th’ Losin Streaks, An Angle and The Evening Episode. For more info, visit the Sammies site. See you Thursday!

Twelve or so bands played on the main stage and another eight or nine on the second stage. Sure, they only played a couple songs each but still, what a great deal! Where else can you see that much good music for a price so cheap? And of course there are the awards too. With all the talent in our big city, it’s a pleasure to watch the artists be recognized.
