<div>GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS! AUGUST 11th AT 12 GALAXIES IN SAN <br/>FRANCISCO <br/>Three Potent Female-Fronted Bands Join Forces for One <br/>Night <br/> <br/>The New Up + ZONK + Artemis <br/>Thursday, August 11th <br/>12 Galaxies <br/>2565 Mission Street @ 22nd <br/>San Francisco, CA 94110 <br/>415.970.9777 <br/>12galaxies.com <br/>Doors 8:00PM :: Music 9:00PM <br/>Tickets $8 :: Ages 21+ <br/> <br/>Three of San Francisco's finest emerging female <br/>songwriters will command the stage at 12 Galaxies on <br/>August 11th. It's a night of girls, Girls, GIRLS! <br/>featuring the lush symphonic electronica of Artemis, <br/>the fiery psychedelic rock of The New Up, and the raw, <br/>danceable trip-hop-rock of ZONK. These bands vary in <br/>their sound and style, covering a wide span of genres <br/>between them, yet are connected in their ability to <br/>craft strong original material and create a dramatic <br/>and electrifying live show. <br/> <br/>ZONK :: zonkaholics.com <br/>After their 2004 breakthrough with Our Five Worst <br/>Songs grabbed them opening slots nationwide for such <br/>diverse acts as De La Soul, Concrete Blonde, and Lady <br/>Kier (Deee-Lite) and worldwide recognition through <br/>Konami's popular video game, Dance Dance Revolution, <br/>ZONK's latest release, Half Human, has them joining <br/>forces with the B-52's in the midst of their West <br/>Coast tour schedule. Sometimes likened to "Beck meets <br/>Portishead," ZONK is a modern melding of styles united <br/>by a distinctive, sultry voice and thoughtful <br/>songwriting. <br/>"ZONK... hmmm... fresh from some other planet. We love <br/>'em." <br/>˜Johnette Napolitano, Concrete Blonde <br/>"Local trip-hop foursome ZONK turns the <br/>characteristically languorous and melancholy style's <br/>perma-frown upside down. Frontlady McFiendish's <br/>sex-dripping vocals lend a sultry air to the band's <br/>quirky, beat-driven blend of turntable, laptop, live <br/>guitar and bass and harmonica, yes, harmonica." <br/>˜Bill Picture, SF Examiner <br/> <br/>The New Up :: thenewup.com <br/>With a searing lead guitar and thundering rhythm <br/>section, tempered by a flute and sexy female vocals, <br/>The New Up's sound weaves elements of psychedelia, <br/>pop, ska and funk. This San Francisco five-piece cut <br/>its teeth in the Chicago indie scene before immersing <br/>itself in the Bay Area's vibrant music community, <br/>impressing audiences with electric performances that <br/>feature an eclectic repertoire of originals, <br/>discerning covers and inspired improvisations. The New <br/>Up recorded a version of the Talking Heads song "What <br/>a Day That Was" for a cover compilation of the <br/>legendary band and is currently at work on its second <br/>album, a follow-up to the band's self-titled debut <br/>release. <br/> "Fear of Music Talking Heads with Peep Show Siouxsie <br/>leading them: punkish but professional, accented <br/>everywhere by an insistent need to add spice and <br/>scope." <br/>˜Dennis Cook, JamBase <br/>"Trippy eruptions, retro-funk wacka-wacka, dance <br/>thumps, and Pretenders-ish new wave." <br/>˜Monica Kendrick, Chicago Reader <br/> <br/>Artemis :: artemis.fm <br/>A seductive blend of daydreamy beats and starry-eyed <br/>breaks, the lush symphonic sound of Artemis is turning <br/>heads in the Bay Area and abroad with her recent third <br/>release, Gravity (RTFM/Magnatune/Cyberset). Joined by <br/>fellow members of electronic artist collective RTFM <br/>for live performances featuring Artemis <br/>(vocals/flutes/programming), Daniel Berkman (handsonic <br/>percussion/kora/keys/guitar) and Cliff Tune <br/>(V-drums/bass), Artemis and her posse weave a hypnotic <br/>synergy, offering listeners an inspiring aural <br/>journey. <br/>"Gravity further refines Artemis's approach to <br/>producing lush, intricate trip-hop and electro-pop." <br/>˜Electronic Musician Magazine <br/>"A world-class creation." ˜Keyboard Magazine</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ZONK.tribe.net">ZONK (the band)</a> - 0 replies </div>
