We’ve got a last minute show to tell you about. We’re doing our first show at the Retox Lounge in San Francisco on Friday November 21st with The Aimless Never Miss and Silian Rail. We’ve got a super secret guest lined up too. Trust us, stay tuned, we will not disappoint.
Picked up those new 2009 calendars yet? If so please make your first entries the following dates:
Thursday January 22nd The Lower Class Revolt and West Coast Performer Magazine presents: Built For The Sea, The Aimless Never Miss, Silian Rail and Shuteye Unison. Tickets are on sale now for just $10! Our friends over at Devil in the Woods Records will be helping out with festivities in order to put the final touches on a special something due out in the Spring.
Wednesday January 28th It’ll be the San Francisco release party for The Sleepover Disaster’s new release “Hover” coming out on Devil in the Woods. AND it’s also the release party for Volume#3 of the Lower Class Revolt compilation series. This all goes down at the Knockout. Also appearing on the bill will be the amazing Silian Rail and San Jose’s Metabear.
And speaking of the compilation–the line-up is set! Silian Rail, Built For The Sea, Rademacher, My First Earthquake,The Happy Hollows, Metabear, James and Evander, Shiloe, and Ironlight River. We’re super pleased, as always with the line-up this time around, can’t wait to have it blasting out of your portable music devices soon!
We’ve been digging through crates of used vinyl again. The two best finds so far? Canada’s best band of the 80s, 54:40 and their first self titled release featuring “baby ran” (WEA, 1986), —made back in the day when major labels had money to give to bands to record. We also found a mint condition copy of Marshall Crenshaw’s self titled first release (WEA, 1982). “Some Day, Some Way”—covered by a million artists but never as good as this original version.
Say hello the next chance you get!

Hello and happy October to those of The Lower Class Revolt! We have a few updates and a couple of points of interest to point out this time around. Please remember to mark your calendar for October 29th! Light FM will be celebrating their debut release “Black Magic Marker” out on Devil in the Woods as part of our live music night at The Knockout. Appearing with Light FM will be the amazing Rademacher and a band you need to know more about–Raised by Robots. Everything will start at 9:30pm—hope to see you there!
And speaking of our label Devil in the Woods, we’ve launched a newly designed website. You can check it out at www.devilinthewoodsrecords.com
We’ve got two spots left for Volume#3 of our compilation series set for January 29th. The deadline for submissions is November 1st so get your songs in now!
And finally we’d like to thank all those involved with the Hardly Strictly Festival for making it special for us (again) this year. We had a wonderful time hanging out with way too many people in the beautiful setting of Golden Gate park. There are so many things that make San Francisco special, and this is surely one them. One small suggestion though—we’re pretty convinced that a “donation” for a $10 ticket with the money going to a designated charity would be a wonderful idea. We appreciate the free admission concept but every year we are blown away by the increasing number of assholes who show up because it’s “free” and have absolutely no concept that maybe some of us are there to see the music.
Thank you for your continued and overwhelming support—the bands truly appreciate it!
