City Tribe drops another introspective cloud-shrouded beach-pop anthem at PopMatters

The most popular indie rock of recent years, from the psychedelic washes of Tame Impala to the sunny vocal harmonies of Fleet Foxes, has always found the most comfort in the warm rays of summer heat. Joining groups such as these is the San Francisco-based City Tribe, who with its latest tune, “Silver Lining”, balances melancholy subject matter with music that would find a fitting home at the sands of a beach.

Regarding the tune, singer and guitarist Jacob Jones says to PopMatters, “‘Silver Lining’ is a semi-autobiographical tune about hope and love. It’s about the trials you face as a young couple, which can be extremely difficult, emotionally and financially, especially in an expensive and fast-paced city like San Francisco. There are a million distractions and challenges, and sometimes it’s hard to see things clearly. Money—or lack thereof—can make things tense, but you can almost always work through it when there’s a strong foundation of love, and a partner who will do anything for you.” LISTEN HERE…

Mass Appeal premieres Chubb Rock & Mighty Mi’s “Same Rock” (Jon Kwest Mix)

Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Chubb Rock eventually relocated to NYC and entered the rap game via his cousin Hitman Howie Tee. Distinguishing himself with rough, rugged rhymes as filtered through the brain of a National Merit Scholar, the Chubbster dropped a classic with his 1991 disc The One, which had not one but three No. 1 rap singles, including the sureshot ragga-rap jam “Just the Two of Us,” the pulse-pounding “Treat Em Right,” and “The Chubbster.”

A couple of decades later, Chubb Rock is the host of WBLS’s Classic Flava show and the nationally syndicated Diggin in tha Crates radio program. But don’t get it twisted— Mr. Rock is still fully capable of spitting hot fire, as evidenced by “Same Rock,” which we’re premiering today off his Same Rock EP. The track is a collaboration with DJ Mighty Mi, best known for his work with High & Mighty, Eminem, Mos Def, and El-P. “This record started with a simple idea—to take my favorite rappers of the Golden Era and have them rap over the the kind of house beats people are going crazy for at my clubs,” says Mighty Mi. “As a Vegas DJ, I see the trends in club music firsthand, and I found that house-infused hip-hop is what people are reacting to most right now. And I had a feeling that Chubb would sound really good over some uptempo beats…. When he sent me back the demo version of the song, he’d written three verses that sounded old school, but with current references. He’s witty as ever, and most of all, that unmistakable Chubb Rock voice is still there.” LISTEN HERE…

Charleston City Paper believes that “what makes People’s Blues of Richmond estimable is its collective belief in the restorative powers of rock ‘n’ roll”

The first time was an accident: At a show in Knoxville a few years back, guitarist Tim Beavers’ Gibson SG crapped out on him halfway through the band’s second set, so he took it off and threw it face-down, breaking it in two pieces.

The last few times, the destruction was intentional. Just a few weekends ago at a festival in northern Virginia called Pasture Palooza, bassist Matthew Volkes smashed a TV with an axe. In late June at Mebane, N.C.’s The Big What? Festival, Beavers smashed a guitar. Not his SG again — this time a cheapo, $100 Squier Stratocaster, but the effect was no less visceral. Beavers destroyed another dollar-bin guitar at a hometown show in Richmond that weekend, too. READ MORE…

The Bay Bridged feature on City Tribe’s new record, the Tenderloin, and that Fleet Foxes comparison

On an improbably sunny Monday evening, City Tribe is seated in a semi-circle at a high-top table in Elite Café on Fillmore, knocking back a round of amber ales. Well, all except guitarist and singer Jacob Jones: He’s on his way, in what turns out to be an exhausting cab ride. Even with only three present, it’s already a challenge to tell them apart: so much facial hair.

As they settle in, drummer Cody Rhodes is chatting excitedly about two things: Café Elite’s art-deco ambiance, which he comments on a couple times, and the drummer that’s sitting down to his set at the front of the house, about to set the mood with a small jazz trio. They’re an enthusiastic bunch—surprisingly animated; disarmingly silly for a band that’s become known for mellow, acoustic-driven rock that almost always is described by beach metaphors. But now, just a few weeks shy of the release of their first full-length, Undertow, their ebullient nature as a band is starting to come to the surface. “Starting a writing process as a full band, immediately it’s going to have more rock to it,” says Rhodes.

Creative Loafing praises The Head’s performance in Georgia Shakespeare’s production of Tony Award-winning British satire, “One Man, Two Guvnors.”

Guvnors‘ most valuable players may be the Atlanta rock trio The Head, who perform a lively mini-concert before the opening curtain, playing short songs during the scene changes. All in their early 20s, the Head clearly specialize in songs of the era, including hits by the Who and the Beatles, and have the youth, costuming, and rockstar moves of the British invasion down pat.

The Head confidently play like a real band of the early 1960s, not a stage musical approximation, but their presence requires a trade-off. The transitional songs, however bright and peppy, can impede the story’s momentum in what’s not a short show to begin with. Should a silly farce really be almost as long as King Lear? Nevertheless, the Head contributes to a final number that brings a real sense of culmination and rock ‘n’ roll release to the show. The three band members, teamed with Muñoz, prove to be a real Fab Four. READ MORE…
