Acid King “What do you do at this point in your career when you’ve been around for so long?”That’s Lori S. from San Francisco’s Acid King. These days she’s asking the big questions. The storied guitarist and frontwoman has been building her electric empire riff-by-riff for nearly 30 years. Though Acid King’s lineup may change Lori remains the driving force and master cylinder. Adopting the nickname of notorious teenage slayer Ricky Kasso, Acid King came screaming out of San Francisco in 1993 with a sound that fused heavy ’70s proto-metal with the kind of bleary slow- rolling dirge power being harnessed by their contemporaries in Sleep and Electric Wizard. The band’s 1993 debut 10” was followed two years later by their first full-length album Zoroaster (Sympathy For The Record Industry) which set the stage for a trio of crucial releases on Frank Kozik’s famed Man’s Ruin label which included the EP Down with the Crown & Free. But it would be Acid King’s acclaimed 1999 album Busse Woods that solidified their reputation amongst a generation of riff worshipers W**d heads and heavy rock enthusiasts. Two decades of hard touring and sporadic recording ensued.The band released III in 2005 on Small Stone records and—after parting ways with the musicians who played on 2015’s Middle Of Nowhere Center of Everywhere—Lori formed a touring lineup that concluded with the Busse Woods 20th Anniversary tour in 2019. Lori wasted no time pondering her next move. The sweeping lockdowns that attended the great plague of 2020-2022 provided the opportunity to collaborate with Black Cobra guitarist/vocalist Jason Landrian and The result is the bands latest 2023 release on Blues Funeral Recordings "Beyond Vision." Making the Billboard Top 100 this release is unlike anything Lori S has written before.
Brume is a San Francisco-based quartet who combine doom metal, goth and indie rock. Featuring Susie McMullan on bass and vocals, Jamie McCathie on guitar and vocals, Jordan Perkins-Lewis on drums and new addition Jackie Perez Gratz on cello and vocals, Brume weave sultry and soaring melodies over melancholy doom pop to create a sweeping blend of heaviness that’s intimate and haunting yet crushing. In Kerrang’s words, “Brume's songs are solid reminders that goth and doom aren't always so far apart.”
A “sonic” rock band, Cassette Prophet consists of composer Mike Morasky (Steel Pole Bath Tub) vocals and guitar, Noah Landis (Neurosis) lead guitar, Rachel Smith (Lickets) keyboard, Jessica Anthony vocals and keyboard, Wes Anderson drums (Idiotflesh, Les Claypool), Donny Newenhouse bass (Terry Gross, Film School) and Cory Todd on video.
Originally formed by Morasky in 2005 as a solo performance piece, he was then joined by longtime collaborator Landis in 2015 under the name “First Church of Radio Shack.” The current line up formed in 2022 and has been headlining shows at Bay Area venues often collaborating with adjunct local artists.
Cassette Prophet currently performing “Radio Shack,” strives to share the experience of a cult that formed around a Radio Shack in 1979 wherein the leader attempted to apply electro-spiritual cleansing and audio-physio transformation to its members. The current version is an extended and detailed telling of the original 2005 story after the band mysteriously came into possession of extensive documentation of the 1979 event. Cassette Prophet has also been in the studio recording an album slated for release sometime in 2024-25.
