RSTB 20 Night 1: Garcia Peoples + Weak Signal

Raven Sings The Blues 20th anniversary weekend Night 1
Garcia Peoples
Embracing a prog spirit, chewing on Agitation Free and UK psych-folk, but this time they’re cycling through the ‘80s indie roots of Cosmic Americana, Garcia Peoples just as often swerve the ‘70s for a taste of SST-era thickness.By now you’re either locked onto what the Garcias are doing or you’re left behind. The band proves again and again that they’re one of the most dynamic rock bands going.

Weak Signal
Over the last few years Weak Signal have steadily established themselves as one of the best NYC bands. An alley-hardened trio who suture ‘70s punk austerity to the bone-dry bash of the ‘90s in a way that most bands could only hope to accomplish. They’re the soul of the underbelly — turning the everyday into bruised brilliance and tattooing it onto the subconscious. Every song out of the Signal feels like it’s been a canon classic since college radio spilled out of dorms and onto the roster of every label lookin’.
