California Kind in PDX Saturday Night

Forums:

Just got tix.  With all due respect to the GBB guys, shouldn't  Sless/Molo/Sears and Co. be the headliner? 

Dang straight.  They should be.  I suspect they are not yet headliners for their own reasons.....now to find out where.....

 

It's weird.  The California Kind show tomorrow doesn't even show up on Jambase (tonight's show in Bend does).  Without Roger footing the bill, opening up for GBB wouldn't make financial sense for those dudes.  Maybe they just love jamming together. Who knows but not complaining (except for the fact they are the opener).

fun fact: the GBB drummer, Arthur Steinhorn, is the original drummer for DNB, so he and Barry Sless go way back as bandmates (at least to 1994)

 

I agree with the observation that CK should be the headliner at the Portland show... I saw them this past Tuesday night at Humbrews, and it's the best I've ever seen 'em (out of 6 CK shows attended)... the jamming was off the hook!

GBB and McMenamins have a long-standing relationship, so it's not really surprising that they would get the headline slot.

You lazy bastards, type out the name!

Who the hell is GBB???

Garcia Birthday Band.

HA.  Thanks, Lance.

I had just asked that question myself last night when I got slammed with a shit-ton of work. Forgot all about it until now.

California Kind opened for Garcia Birthday Band at the Star Theater in Portland back in November, very fun time and tonight should be great as well. Tickets are only $20 I believe. Been watching this high quality video of that last Portland show today:

Gonna sit this one out. Weather, drive, seen these guys recently.

Have fun and be safe, folks.

See you there (if you're there). 

See you down there.  Leaving in about 45 minutes.

Stream US if Possible_________yes

Sless is more

They're playing my buddy's house party in Marin next saturday.

Last night was a lot of fun and California Kind seemed to have tightened up a bunch and Katie Skene seemed to take a pretty commanding role, they played some of her tunes and it was fun to watch Molo lock in with her on her solos. They just seemed really on point, fun set of songs (They played Power to the People, some Katie Skene originals, and an nice, reggae version of FOTM, Low Spark into Wasted and Can't Find My Way home was hot as i recall. GBB played a good show too and Berry Sless sat in on a number of songs. Good times!

David Nelson supposed to sit in with California Kind as a Spacial Guest on Tuesday at Hop Mink Tavern in Sebastopol and tickets are still available. 

Thx Wngfan, I agree w/ your review, and enjoyed Barraco's vocals, too.

Fun time!

We ended up checking out the balcony and discovered the "sky box" rocker chairs up there... Sometimes a sit-down show is required. We had just returned from an overnight in Olympia.

^Nice shots!


And thanks for the review/heads up, Wngfan.  smiley

California Kind's Instagram account just confirmed David's appearance @ TXR on May 1, and Phil will join them on May 2. Sigh, another show I can't make because of my necessary day job.

More pics.   I had forgotten Barraco was in this band.   Much better than Moonalice IMHO.
