Estradasphere
PERFORMING AT SOMEDAY
Friday, Feb 9 › 9pm › $7
ESTRADASPHERE with STOLEN BABIES
Estradasphere are a tireless tribe of experimentors from the rock labs of Santa Cruz. Showing the lingering influence of psychedelic 60s movie soundtracks, deep explorations into the music of Japan and the Gypsies, the essential underpinnings of jazz, and the riff-seeking missiles of metal; they are, in every sense of the word, the California Highway Patrol of outer space.
Stolen Babies are proof positive that the Old World has risen from the grave, its black-painted mouth hungry for the blood of the Modern Are. Baroque thrash that, like Estradasphere, is as likely to include the tuba and xylophone as the trap set and distorted guitar; delivered by a quartet of living dolls straight out of Jhonnen Vasquez. You may have seen the Babies closing for Degenerate Art Ensemble in September. If so, you'll come again. If not—kid—don't miss out again.
About the artist
Estradasphere dedicates their art to interpreting and developing the underlying musical currents of time and place. Rather than shamelessly showcasing their instrumental prowess, the six-piece (rock?!) band from Santa Cruz, California draws on their broad scope of musicianship to explore the possibilities of the future, and more importantly, the past.
One moment, Estradasphere may manifest a Romainian gypsy tune through the psyche of an angsty suburban teenager, then be walking a musical path much traveled simply to uncover some semblance of a better time.
Connecting to music by playing real instruments (violin, upright bass, guitar, accordion, organ, Japanese Shamisen, drums) and a shifting variety of instrumentations (chamber ensemble, jazz combo, gypsy metal band, 60s film rock, etc.) Estradasphere holds the door for our individual and collective understanding of music.
