    Sonny & The Sunsets

    This isn’t Sonny Smith’s first trip to the rodeo. For years, many locals have loved his clever song writing and goofy stage persona. Somehow, after completing his ambitious “100 Records” project, Sonny still had the creative stamina to form his awesome new band: The Sunsets. They have been taking their sweet, sweet California-style jams around the world ever since. The songs featured today are from their new album “Hit After Hit”, and the record title could‘t be more spot on.

    Ever Isles

    In the summer of 2010, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith and Jeremy Robert Harris nestled into a cabin on Orcas Island and spent their time creating the debut Ever Isles record, “Cacoon”. They’ve since relocated to the bay area where they’ve been impressing audiences with their consistently oneiric performances. Were so excited to show them here with an expanded line-up that features Nick Aives and Jessi Campbell of Range Of Light Wilderness.

    Sea Of Bees

    Sea Of Bees created one of our favorite records in 2010, so we’re really proud to feature them as them as our first episode of 2011. Jules is joined here by an all star cast of musicians from the Sacramento recording scene, including guitarist John Baccigaluppi (who runs the Hangar). You’ll especially enjoy the stripped down version of “Won’t Be Long” with it’s mellow pump organ.

    Magic Leaves

    Magic Leaves had been making dreamy home recordings at a house in the Marin Headlands for years when Josh Bruner found a beat up guitar left in the basement. Lured by it’s charm, he decided not to toss it, but instead take it apart, sand the body, clean its bits and put it back together. When an accidental rewiring mistake caused the volume knob to be left out the circuit, Josh fell in love with its ratty scratchy tone. This inspired a whole new rocking sound for Magic Leaves.

    Devotionals

    Tyson Vogel may be best known as the exciting drummer in local duo Two Gallants, but the secret is getting out: he is an incredibly gifted guitar player. The Devotionals started when Tyson teamed up with Anton Patzner to entered the studio and record their self titled debut. Expanding the band for live shows allowed them to blossom to the current line-up, featuring members of Judgement Day, Honeycomb, and Passenger & Pilot.

    Thao and Mirah with The Most Of All

    This year’s Noise Pop festival featured a collaborative performance from two of our favorite artists: Thao and Mirah. That show happened to fall on a full moon, so it’s no surprise that it went over so well! Not long after, the duo decided to pull together members of their respective bands for a summer tour as Thao and Mirah with The Most Of All. What a treat it was, to host them in Studio C for their final day of rehearsal before the big tour. We edited together our favorite parts of that magical afternoon for to present in this episode. We hope you enjoy.

    Birds & Batteries have a special relationship with Studio C, and we were so pleased to finally host them for Chasing The Moon.

These guys are really incredible live, don’t miss their upcoming show at Bottom of the Hill on October 15th.

    Tartufi

    Tartufi is a very busy band. They co-organize awesome music festivals. They teach kids how to rock. They go on national tours. Still, they somehow find time to come into our studio and perform amazing jams like this. We hope you love it as much as we do.
