Shaki Tavi / Bottled Up [Small Room-Downstairs]

SHAKI TAVI Album Bio Minor Slip is the Felte debut from Shaki Tavi, the main project of Oklahoma-born, LA-based DIY lifer Leon Manson. Centered on squalls of fuzzed-out guitars, overdriven drums, and Manson’s harmonized baritone, its eight songs are powerful, vulnerable, catchy, and genuine, a pop-leaning eruption of creative force from the child of rock musicians, whose passion emerged as a small town outsider, and strengthened amid the artifice and fend-for-yourself reality of LA.

Kinky Vanilla / The Heavy Pour / Victim Of Doug [Small Room-Downstairs]

Psychedelic Garage Rock is what you’d get if you ask anyone who knows what the Kinky Vanilla sound is. Though, if you were to ask any of the members their answer might be (with a smirk) Swamp Surf. The band evokes visions of classic sounds from the late 60’s and early 70’s all the while adding modern day indie, fuzzy, raw textures to express the breadth of their influences. https://kinkyvanilla.bandcamp.com/album/hollow-apollo

Revelry / Gary Russell Wertz [Small Room-Downstairs]

Revelry is a hard-hitting rock band out of Murfreesboro, TN formed in 2019. Thunderous rhythms, screaming guitar licks, and smokey southern vocals fill the air as soon as these five take the stage. Music blog Raised Rowdy had this to say: “Them boys from Murfreesboro have done it again. Revelry killed it with their debut EP, South of Nashville, back in March, and really showed what they were made of. Staying consistently tight and progressing non-stop when it comes to originality, creativity and just straight-up hustle, they absolutely own that southern rock aesthetic and sound. Revelry brings their own intensity, edge and charisma that really sets them apart and establishes them in their own space.” A favorite group from Nashville’s “Whiskey Jam,” according to founder Ward Guenther, their consistency and hard work ethic has folks clamoring for their return immediately after their current performance is done!
