This week on KALX Live! you have Feel Good Weird in the hosting chair and Oakland’s Mount Saint Elias set to perform just for you. As usual, we dive in at 9pm on Saturday November 23rd to get you up to speed on your local Bay Area music scene.
The five piece boast an expansive sound blending the organic tones of acoustic guitar and harmony-laden vocals with distorted electric guitars, lo-fi drum machines and analogue synths. Originally from Kentucky, singer/songwriter Joey Coe incorporates elements of the folk music he grew up with, employing a heavily literate lyrical style and a raw and resonant vocal approach. The band; Luna Fuentes, Matteo Lovik, Josiah Johnson (The Head and the Heart), and KC Van der Zee, hails from across California and South America and from across the gender spectrum. Their high-energy live shows bring a no-boundaries rock-and-roll spirit to a folksy familiarity in a pairing that is both sincere and surprising.
The band is set to play next outside the KALX walls at Felton Music Hall on February 4th supporting Portland’s Glitterfox [Tickets]. They also just released, “Sway”, the first single from their debut full-length record a week ago today. You can brush up on their latest releases on Bandcamp.
