Alejandro Escovedo w. The Satin Peaches // 18+ Show
| Description: | Doors 7:30pm Music 8:30pm Tickets $18 in advance / $20 day of show ON SALE FRIDAY AUGUST 22ND @ 10AM This June, Alejandro Escovedo will release his 9th solo album Real Animal. Produced by Tony Visconti (David Bowie, T.Rex, Thin Lizzy), Real Animal is a collective journey through Escovedo's various musical incarnations from punk rock to string quintets and is as introspective as it is retrospective. Recalling the people, places and influences that helped shape his career, Real Animal represents the primitive aspect of Escovedo's music - the instinct, the urgency and a survivor mentality that fuels his musical passion. Escovedo was a founding member of the pioneering San Francisco-based punk band The Nuns in the mid-70’s. In the early 1980’s he moved to New York City, where he joined forces with fellow Bay Area punk scene veterans Chip and Tony Kinman in Rank & File, a band that forged the early 1980s country-punk sound that later became known as alternative country. After Rank & File relocated to Austin, Texas, Escovedo left the band and formed True Believers with his brother Javier. The critically acclaimed group disbanded in the late 1980s. In 1992, Escovedo embarked on a solo career with his debut album Gravity. Subsequent solo albums have included Thirteen Years (1993), With These Hands (1996), More Miles than Money: Live 1994-1996 (1998), Bourbonitis Blues (1999), and A Man Under the Influence (2001). In the late 1990s, he began developing a dramatic work, based on his songs about his father, with the Los Angeles theater company About Productions. The resulting composition, By the Hand of the Father, premiered to critical acclaim in 2000 with Escovedo performing his songs as part of the production. His last album, The Boxing Mirror, released in 2006 was produced by John Cale and traces Escovedo’s journey from the brink of death at the hands of Hepatitis C to renewed wellness and artistic creativity. Escovedo’s music has been widely lauded by the media, appearing in several high-profile publications including Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, The New York Times, USA Today, PASTE, HARP and Entertainment Weekly. Alejandro Escovedo Official Site The Satin Peaches: "These Detroit-bred cuties are so goddamned good." - Lauren Gitlin, Rolling Stone "There's no way anyone could deny that the first single by these Detroit-raised avant-popsters is a thing of extreme beauty. Ivories are bashed, guitars fuzz in a vaguely garage-rock vein and someone starts to thing through the same over-distorted mic that Julian Casablancas patented five or os years ago. The whole thing builds and builds into something approaching mini-epic status." - NME The Satin Peaches on MySpace Tickets can be purchased through Ticketmaster.com or by calling 651-989-5151.
