Review: Theresa Andersson; January 25, 2009 at The Casbah; San Diego
The crowd at the Casbah gazed skeptically at the short, spritely Swedish woman in their midst. Scheduled as the opening act for Tapes ‘N Tapes and Wild Light—two fast, all-male rock bands—the woman quietly ascended to a stage littered with unmanned instruments. When she introduced the inanimate objects as her band, and people realized that she would be playing all of them by herself, the venue’s early arrivals began to nervously eye the exits. But all that changed when Theresa Andersson took off her shoes.
Single Screen Records Signs Black Mamba
Ethereal piano-pop band Black Mamba has become the latest artist to sign with San Diego label Single Screen Records. They are currently finishing up a 6 song EP, which will be released through the label on 12-inch vinyl in early 2009.
And while you’re eagerly awaiting the release of their EP, do yourself a favor and go see them live. They’ll be playing at the Beauty Bar with Drew Andrews and Boomsnake on December 9th, and at The Casbah with Tape Deck Mountain and Madison County on December 22nd.
Boyish Charms Offer First Look At New EP
San Diego veterans The Boyish Charms are nearly finished with the recording of their new EP, to be titled Infinity In Its Infancy.
Set for a March release, the EP will boast a whopping eight songs, which is like two EPs in one, or one slightly-short full length, or even four singles. The ample number of tracks shouldn’t come as a surprise; the prolific band already has six full length albums, three EPs, and a seven-inch in their illustrious discography.
