Ears Of The Beholder Present A Rad Show At Public Works
There’s a super cool new venue that has opened in San Francisco called Public Works and to kick off its opening, Ears of the Beholder are bringing you some great bands for an awesome night of music on Wednesday, January 26th.
Four bands will hit the stage that night, Religious Girls, The Actors, Thrall and Spiro Agnew. A combination of bands with sounds vibrant in electro-pop to ethereal shoegaze psychedelic rock, the evening is sure to be one of greatness.
Public Works opened in the Mission District of San Francisco last fall and is already garnering a lot of attention for its unique atmosphere. By day, it is an underground art studio and gallery and then transforms into a club, bar and live music venue by night. Hidden among other warehouse type buildings in the area, Public Works is identifiable by it’s Banksy mural painted on the outside of the building. Public Works is located at 161 Erie Street in San Francisco in the heart of the Mission District.
ELK Announces New Album
Justin Stein (aka ELK) had a trying time recording his upcoming album Let’s Get Married. After his computer crashed halfway through production, Justin had to decide whether to pay rent or buy a new computer. He chose a computer and ditched Brooklyn to move back to his parents’ house in Michigan.
His album is literally a bedroom production, and features electronic pop mixed with shoegaze and Philip Glass samples. The album will be out February 15th on Shape Up Records (released via cassette and digital download). The song “Volleyball” is the first single from the album, and you can hear it right here.
ELK also recently created a mix that he calls the “Snow Mixtape” to commemorate the giant blizzard that recently swept through New York. Featuring samples from MGMT and Thin Lizzy (among others), you can hear it right here. ELK will be playing in New York soon, with a date at Cake Shop on February 11th (with Keepaway, Pistola and Lost Coves).
