With special guest Brother Grand. $6 door.
It started because Shannon told Alex she knew how to cut boy’s hair so he came over to get styled up and she told him to wait outside while she looked up how to cut hair on the Internet. In exchange for the botched haircut he let her borrow his keyboard while she played solo shows all around Davis, CA and slowly, unknowingly converted him to be her boyfriend. When they moved to San Francisco, Alex was summoned to an audition for a psychedelic 7-piece rock band looking for someone who could juggle and play trombone. Lucky for those guys, he could do both…awesomely. Also in the famed Morph Dwarf band-o-man-babes were Jacob & Mikey. Shannon would watch from the crowd as Mikey made an animal of himself on the drums and Jacob bobbed cool and fresh on the bass in the background. It was there, with Mikey’s sweat splashing all over the crowd and Alex blowing his horn into the nothingness that she crafted a vision of full band, a departure from the quiet moss and sparrow singer-songwriter identity she’d been crafting for the years prior. She was looking to grow her hair long and howl loud and mischievous into a crowd of drunks and girl crushes. All she needed now was 3 handsome hams, a full moon and an awesome band name. Stashing Alex’s trombone under the bed and outfitting him with a kickin bass, putting Jacob in his rightful place as a lead guitar extraordinaire and giving Mikey a fresh t-shirt, they were READY! One year into the project, BE CALM HONCHO is up to all kinds of good. A debut album out in spring 2014, a bunch of cool new outfits and polarizing opinions to propagate via video, dance & song and a pretty laid back attitude are on the menu for these kids, so eat up, this one’s on us.
