Album release show this Saturday, with 3 Leafs

The time has finally come to debut our new album! We'll be playing the whole thing live this Saturday at 222 Hyde, with support from SF Psych legends 3 Leafs. Vinyl won't be ready until the end of the year, but you'll be able to buy CD's download codes, T-shirts, and posters at the show. We have a few other surprises in store for the performance as well, so this is one Shores show not to miss. See you soon....

Bluesix tomorrow night, with the Lickets in quad and a Marmalade Mountain full band set

We're looking very forward to tomorrow night's Saturday evening show at Bluesix. Playing with us are two of my favorite local bands, The Lickets also from here in SF and Marmalade Mountain from Oakland. Both have a very original and saav songcraft all of their own, and each's albums from late last year is on our short list for best of 09.

To boot, both are playing special sets. Marmalade Mountain's recently released first album features full instrumentation, but from what I understand when Zack plays live it's usually solo or with basic accompaniment. For the Bluesix show though, Marmalade Mountain will be a full four piece, which'll give the crowd a great and rare taste of the album's dynamic sound live.

The Lickets also have cool plans. They'll be playing a quadraphonic set. You don't catch those that often live anymore, and with their sound in particular at a venue like Bluesix, it promises to be a soft deluge full of texture and warmth.

Shores also have also been working on a performance style that we hope fabrics Bluesix's bucolic feel well. We've been practicing our songs in a more mellow, psych bluesy style. The sound we've been exploring our last couple practices is quite different from our other shows or recordings, more mellow and less galvanic force, and very jammy ("psych preserves" I call it) and rich with breath. We like it, and are looking forward to sharing with you.

Doors 8, Show 9, The Lickets go first, then Shores, and Marmalade Mountain to close the evening out. See you at the show....
