6/22/2013 - Music at the Red Bicycle |
FENDERSHINE w/PHIL ROYAL
THE RED BICYCLE 8:30pm
ALL-AGES ‘TIL 11PM, 21+ AFTER THAT
FREE COVER!
Fendershine is rock and roll at the core, layered with sounds of passion, melancholy, and rebellion. What reaches the listener is magnetic, original music that stirs your soul and makes you want to stand up and shake what you got.
With their varied musical backgrounds, Fendershine’s members each supply the perfect addition to this musical alchemy.
Together they create unique compositions that bring to mind that brief time between night and day, when colors bend in the sky and anything is possible–familiar and satisfying like a greasy breakfast at your favorite diner. Fendershine’s music comes straight from the heart and will tap into yours.
Fendershine is Eric Frith (lead guitar, vocals), Rick Vanselow (guitar, vocals), Kim Thal (violin, vocals), Steve Meyer(acoustic bass), and Fletcher Andrews (drums & percussion). Their new EP, “Rise and Fendershine,” is available at Fendershine.bandcamp.com
Opening up for Fendershine will be Phil Royal.
Because Phil Royal was, at age eleven, small of stature and of only average rhetorical wit, he started strumming the guitar in a bid to be noticed by the girls. Forty one years later he is still trying to impress his wife. Although he really has no durable insight into the true nature of life or who we genuinely are to each other, he claims to have caught rare glimpses on occasions where music was involved. He is known to despair that all of these melodic and lyrical efforts are but a glorious and frivolous waste of time but, then, moments of transcendent ecstasy are otherwise hard to come by. He is thus wedded to fingerstyle six string until time stiffens his fingers and robs his mind. |
