SATURDAY is Quinn DeVeaux & the Blue Beat Review's big cd release show at the independent. the Mumlers are co-headlining!! you can hear some of quinn's songs here: http://soundcloud.com/seaweedsway - his songs have been making my day! the album, Under Covers, & is a completely joyous experience. here's quinn's chasing the moon episode to get a sense of how much fun you'll have hearing him live: http://chasingthemoon.pdcst.com/2009/09/quinn/ the mumlers will be getting the dance party started... this video of their song "coffin factory" gives you a sense of their sound & sense of humor (maybe?): http://youtu.be/1oaWJN2doRk tickets are here: http://bit.ly/quinntix


SUNDAY!! is the monthly seaweedsway showcase at the make-out room! Masuga, Miwa, & Moomaw (no kidding)... This is gonna be a really neat & sweet show, a gathering of three friends, whose names coincidentally sound really good together, playing their collections of stories through song. A mid-summer's dream. Miwa Gemini (acoustic/indie/folk/western swing) is traveling through on tour, from Brooklyn, NY; Moomaw (psychadelic country) moved away from the Bay Area to LA recently, so this is a reunion of sorts; & Ed Masuga (folk/blues/country/alt) is an east bay-er trekking to SF to blow us away with his fingerpicking song-writing genius. Good luck will come to all who attend. 7:30 doors, 8-11 songs. The show will be interspersed with Jeremy & the Absurdists interactive entertainment (last month, they became robots trying to understand the human emotion of love). only $7!

Quinn DeVeaux's CD Release Party with the Mumlers Saturday @ the Independent! SeaweedSway Presents!

saturday will be a joyous celebration!!!
the songs are soo good! come enjoy the festivities

Saturday July 16th

SeaweedSway Presents:

Quinn DeVeaux's CD Release Party
with the Mumlers
at the Independent



Address: 628 Divisadero St. @ Hayes, SF
Time: 8:30 doors / 9pm show
Tix: $15 http://ticketf.ly/quinntix
RSVP: http://on.fb.me/july16quinn
http://quinndeveaux.com
http://themumlers.com
http://independentsf.com
Contact Jessie Woletz, seaweedsway@gmail.com, for press inquiries.

We'd like to invite you to Quinn's CD Release Party at The Independent on Saturday, July 16th. Local favorites The Mumlers will open the night with their indie-pop-folk-dance tunes.

"Under Covers" is the debut album by Quinn DeVeauxand the Blue Beat Review. The sound is "blue beat" – music that stems from the RandB, New Orleans soul, and gospel that form the roots of rock and roll.

Quinn puts on a dynamic show with his 7-piece band, which includes piano, bass, drums, and three gospel-tinged female background singers.  For the past two years he's been getting young crowds moving to his classic sounds, and is stirring up interest in roots music in the Bay Area.  Quinn has already headlined The Independent, has performed at Outside Lands, and will be opening up for Aaron Neville at Stern Grove on August 7.

His debut CD is a tribute to his influences entitled "Under Covers".  It's a very cool contemporary take on the roots of rock and R&B, with songs by Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry, The Meters, Chris Kenner and the Soul Stirrers.

More about Quinn and the new album is below.  


The first video for the album is here:

QUINN DEVEAUX - the Blue Beat & the the new album, Under Covers - Background

Qunn DeVeaux and the Blue Beat Review are on a mission to establish a new genre in modern music: Blue Beat.  This music stems from RandB, New Orleans Soul, and Gospel - the roots of Rock and Roll.  Blue Beat hearkens back to a period where musicians would actually play, and where the audience actually moved.  It's more than a throwback, however, because times have changed, and music has to change as well.

QDBBR bridges the gap between today's dance floors and those of early rock and rollers like Chuck Berry, Ray Charles and Huey Piano Smith, and Quinn has the voice for it.  He is raspy yet soothing to listen to, with declarative punctuations that let the listener know he means what he's singing about.

Their debut record titled Under Covers is a collection of grooves that the band has been playing alongside their original material to hone their sound and cement their influences.  In the fall of 2010, the path ahead became clear.  According to Quinn, "we simply had to make this record to pay homage to those who came before us, while at the same time bringing our own vibe to the mix."  In this way, Under Covers paves the way for an album ofQuinn's original material which will be released early in 2012.

The band: Quinn's singing reflects his roots growing up outside of Chicago, while his electric guitar sounds like Muddy Waters channeled through The Kinks.  Chris Siebert, on loan from Lavay Smith's Red Hot Skillet Lickers where he serves as band leader, burns up the keys.  Down in the engine room that drives this train are Matthew MacGillivray ("Mattie Mac") on drums and Kenan O'Brien ("KO") on bass.  Three backup singers, the "Quinntettes", provide warmth and movement.  They sweeten the melodies, and crowds are often seen singing along and imitating the swaying singers.

The album:  Produced by drummer Matthew MacGillivray, Under Covers features familiar tunes like "They All Asked For You" by The Meters and Sam Cooke’s "Good News" mixed in with lesser known numbers like the Soul Stirrers’ "Come and Go" and Muddy Waters’ "Tiger in Your Tank".  The album was recorded mostly live, in the tradition of the original recordings, and sounds every bit as worthy a re-telling as when the Rolling Stones covered Robert Johnson’s classic Love in Vain.  However, this record of covers also reflects trends in music which followed from these seminal tunes, from the British Invasion to recent soul revival acts such as Amy Winehouse and Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings.

Under Covers is a party album with a broad range.  It'll make you want to see this band live where you can kick off your shoes and dance, and it'll make you want to follow this band going forward.  The party's just getting started…

see/hear Quinn DeVeaux, Michael Musika, & Indianna Hale on Chasing the Moon: http://chasingthemoon.pdcst.com

MICHAEL MUSIKA
"Michael’s sound is rustic, almost gypsy-like, but it maintains a sense of innocence that is unlike most everything you’ve heard before. His fellow bandmates, mostly friends who play in other projects as well (Matt Adams of Blank Tapes, Eric Kuhn of Silian Rail and Brian Gorman of Tartufi to name a few), helped shape the sound of the album. One senses from their involvement that Musika’s really trying to promote that music, both performing and consuming, is meant to be fun and communal, something to bring us together as performers and spectators. While writing the music for his new album, Musika handed each performer a script with an assigned character, from which each was to figure out the particular sound for their part." -- Bay Bridged
http://myspace.com/michaelmusika

LOYD FAMILY PLAYERS
With influences ranging from Carlinhos Brown to Rage Against the Machine, the Loyds mix together a bevy of breaks and textures with great precision for a hot and furious dance party. Utilizing everything from sultry R&B covers to tongue-in-cheek punk rock singalongs, the Loyds will whip the dance floor into a frenzy and turn you into a dashboard drummer for days on end."Combining elements of samba, hip-hop, funk, heavy metal, dancehall & reggae, this 8 to 14 piece non-traditional bateria has quickly earned a reputation as one of Oakland California's most raucous and jubilant party bands." --SF Bay Guardian.
http://theloydfamilyplayers.com

QUINN DEVEAUX & THE BLUE BEAT REVIEW
Quinn DeVeaux and The Blue Beat Review is the dance floor between the sweet old times and new hard times. It's New Orleans soul and early blues with the depth of cracked hands combined with the contagious dance rhythm you've been looking for all night.
http://myspace.com/quinndeveaux

INDIANNA HALE
"Sad true stories sung sweet and straight forward...a prodigious musical vocabulary veiled ever so slightly by a reverent fascination for ancient astrological superstitions rendered delicately surreal through the spooky lens of modern times."
http://www.myspace.com/indiannahale

caretakers house yoga tonight, free postural assessment, vote today, & upcoming shows!


hi everyone,

i hope you're all doing well and enjoying this beautiful autumn weather, and the full moon.

i wanted to remind you all about yoga class tonight at the caretakers house. same time, same place!

also, karen, who a lot of you know, is offering a free postural assessment for anyone who wants it. either after class today or you can set something up w/ her in the future. i'm including the info about that below, please email her if you're interested, or just let her know today.

friday i don't think i'll be teaching restorative yoga because i'm going on a yoga retreat w/ my mom! but i hope you can make it in future weeks. (it's $10 for friends.)

as a side note, be sure to go out and vote if you haven't done so yet! it is so quick, as there are only a few things to vote on. if you'd like, there are some suggestions here: http://kateatyrownrisk.posterous.com/kate-slate-2009

lastly, i also wanted to remind you about some shows that i hope you can make it to. :) hope to see you at both of these:

Nov. 12th at the Rickshaw Stop: Michael Musika's next seance in the series with Loyd Family Players, Quinn DeVeaux, & Indianna Hale

Nov. 15th at the Make-Out Room: SeaweedSway Showcase w/ Indianna Hale, "Windy-Gap" (Jeffrey Manson), & Slow Motion Cowboys

thank you, see you soon.

ommmmmmmmm shanti
jessie


*Postural Assessment Info from Karen: Hi yoga friends! I am excited to share with you and reinforce the concepts I am learning in this workshop I am participating in. It is an advanced training for Pilates instructors in the application of techniques for physical rehabilitation. I'm offering free postural assessments to anyone who is interested. Why postural assessment? It's informative - aids body awareness and is useful in identifying the body's muscular imbalances that can contribute to pain and predispose the body to injury. Assessments don't take very long to do and it is something we could do right after yoga class. It would be a big help to me to get some extra practice and I think some useful info for you. Let me know if you are interested. :) Karen karen.dancingk@gmail.com

*info for regular classes:

yoga class at the caretakers house ongoing tuesdays.
class is 6:15-7:45pm. arrive by 6:10 to set up.
848 divisadero st. @ mccallister st.
http://caretakers-sf.org
feel free to bring friends, have them rsvp if they're new... all levels are welcome.
cost: trades or $5-10 donations welcome, but not mandatory.

restorative yoga ongoing fridays at the yoga loft.
canceled or will have a sub this week, will resume teaching next week
11am-12:30pm.
321 divisadero st. @ page st.
http://theloftsf.com
cost: this class is now $10 for friends! just tell them at the front desk...
this is different from a regular yoga class, in that you do less poses and hold them for a longer amount of time in a non-strenuous way, all propped up, so the body can relax more deeply... focus is on the breath and gentle opening of places where we hold extra tension and stress...
