The Make-Out Room

Gallery and Review by Fiestaban Photography

L.A. Punk is back with style for Kate Clover and her backing dapper lads at San Francisco’s Make-Out Room. If you haven’t seen her before, don’t underestimate her petite frameβ€”she is coming for every square millimeter of your eardrums and every square inch of your venue. Having moved from a slightly more rockabilly Wanda-Jackson-meets-Blondie sound before the pandemic, her new album β€œBleed Your Heart Out” is the original late-70’s Angeleno punk scene writ-small, borrowing from bands such as X (Clover’s cover of their β€œYour Phone’s Off The Hook, But You’re Not” is every bit as gritty as the original), The Adolescents, The X-Ray Spex or even The Buzzcocks. It is brash and raucous, with an undertone which implores visionaries to return to their visions. If you haven’t caught this femme-phenom before, her outfit (including boyfriend Brandon Welchez of Crocodiles) will be touring again later this year.

The Wind-Ups

Maybe you’ve heard of The Ramones? Maybe you even like The Ramones? Well…meet The Wind-Ups. From So-Cal, this band is the three-chord riff answer to all the prog-punk you’ve been cycling through these past few years. Their album β€œTry Not To Think” is what you need on your morning run, or just to get your day going

Thank You Come Again

San Francisco’s own Thank You Come Again, opening up the show with their Sonic Youth-meets-Black-Flagg vibe and a feel-good message of being kind to one other. β€œWe can’t afford to be mean to each other!” No, we can’t!
