QUITZOWBattlehooch, Setting Sun
Rickshaw Stop
Tue, August 3, 2010
Tickets Available at the Door
8:00 pm $10.00 QUITZOW NYC female-led band with a new album, Juice Water, on Young Love Records. "Whips up the dance-floor with skittering beats, butt shaking thump, electronic evil-robot voice effects- into a fresh and pure pop meringue." --Marie Claire "Quitzow - the band as well as the woman who spearheads it - seems to be all about the pleasure principle. Synthesizers and programmed dance beats are the order of the day on Juice Water and if you can't take lyrics about parties, romantic encounters, their fallouts, and illicit drug taking, there's the door." --Blurt Magazine Battlehooch "Probably the wildest and weirdest outfit in San Francisco right now has got to be Battlehooch - a hyperactive brotherhood of Captain Beefheart fanatics who peddle crazy party-prog that few can comprehend but everyone wants to dance to (irrespective of how completely impossible it may be). Fearlessly experimental, boundlessly energetic and when they end their sets by ripping through an insane cover of James Brown's 'Superbad' you can't help but wonder that the weather's like on their planet." --NME Setting Sun "Singer-songwriter Gary Levitt has a solid take on the balance between rural naif and urban hipster that's at the root of the current alt-folk scene, but for all the acoustic guitars and simple musical settings of the third Setting Sun album, he's no Devendra Banhart type of modern flower child. Levitt (who basically is Setting Sun, although Erica Quitzow, adds cello, violin, drums and vocals) has far more in common with Destroyer's Dan Bejar: the 11 songs on Children of the Wild use not only vintage psych and folk-rock as musical touchstones, but the melodramatic likes of Scott Walker and Hunky Dory-era David Bowie, as well as sophisticated '80s college rockers like Prefab Sprout and the Go-Betweens." --AllMusic.com
