Festival
Of The BREASTS!!!
Sunday, June 15th 2008, 4pm
Stork Club, 23rd St. & Telegraph, Downtown Oakland
(510) 444-6174
The Festival of Breasts was originally conceived as an epic music festival that would take place at The Rack Lodge, in Wyoming's Grand Teton National Park. The bill was going to be filled by bands that had breasts or know somebody who did. Eventually, the idea morphed into a Sunday BBQ at the Stork Club with real and/or fake breasts. even chicken breasts...We will celebrate all things round & soft, like a nice pair of boobs. There will be dancing, autograph signing, and performers will be encouraged to exhibit their knockers... It is going to be awesome!
MILL RACE 12am
Death Progressive Swing Metal from Salem Oregon
Lo to medium-fi new wave-y prog for folks who may dislike Tolkien. Cosmic cowbot music. Indie rock Bartok kiddie tunes. Spare, minimalist, biker-bar art-metal w/analog synth. etc.etc.
BRAD ELECTRO 11pm
Tits-Off Dance Party
BradElectro has been performing live electronic music in clubs, undergrounds, renegades and churches for more than 7 years. Originally starting with the classic MMT-8 sequencer, he switched to the Roland MC-909 and now currently rocks Abelton Live alongside an arsenal of outboard effects and his mighty Mackie mixer. Gear doesn't make the groove but it helps, and BradElectro is definitely not just a laptop jockey. Musically, his love for vocals and melody is obvious in his songs, but like many of his Chicago heroes, the man can get tracky as well.
APPLE PIE HOPES 10:30pm
Freak Folk Extravaganza
Guitar,
mandolin, banjo, accordion, washboard & 5 voices showcasing original
compositions reminiscent of Appalachian, Country Blues, & Sweetwater
Ballads as well as faithful interpretations & one-of-a-kind
arrangements performed with authentic Vaudvillianesque showmanship. A
display of true Americana, pre-dating democracy & post-dating the
Apocalypse...a modern-day comic book in song. Recently opened for he
EXTRA-ACTION MARCHING BAND
A.S.P. 10pm
The Overlords of Underwear
In their first gig ever, chorus, verse, and bridge will be treated as seperate songs that can be reinserted in the set and revisited as necessary. Noise will be countered by pop and pop will be balanced by noise. The set will resemble a trainwreck medley of hooks. Of course, I should consult the other guys first before I write this. Band includes Joe Rut, Anthony Da Rosa, Miles Steuding, and Sir David Hologram.
THE HAPPY CLAMS 9pm
Joyous Bi-valve Blues
And
on the eighth day God made the place that opened up in the morning and
served donuts and coffee. In no time flat we ended up with a lot of
people being born in the 20th century. Three of them became members of
the group The Happy Clams, who ride the Back 40 charts of what we know
as today's Un-Pop music. One of them had a donut and coffee the other
day. Coincidence? I think not.
Anatomically Correct Canadian Garage Music
As a caviat to the NAFTA Legislation, the Canadian government had to designate a band as ambassador to the States. Therefore, THE BLEU CANADIANS are special envoys to ROCK! HARD! Prepare to be delighted by the cool and frosty sensations that were previously reserved for the ice highways in the Yukon Territory. Get ready to get pulped, like the output of the forests of the Great White North! Come to terms that every snowflake is unique, and relish the spatztic organism of THE BLEU CANADIANS!!!! Free Quebec! Free Quebec!
5 CENT COFFEE 7pm
Not your Granny's Brothel Music
5 Cent Coffee is an eclectic trio dedicated to organic old fashioned sound; an amalgamation of a by-gone nation, mixed with the fresh scent of a smile or the wail of a lament.Ukulele driven original material with stand up bass and melodeon - throw in a washboard, a kazoo - some junk, an old shoe, wear a grumpy hat, cry a tear or two, and you're there by the side of an old dusty highway...
THE CLARENCES 6pm
Abba meets the Partridge Family
Meet
THE CLARENCES, a melody driven, power pop rock band hailing from
Oakland, California. THE CLARENCES offer a fresh perspective on the
often formulaic pop band routine. Their music AND their concerts are
lively, sometimes silly and always rocking. THE CLARENCES believe there
is one thing that will never let you down, and that's 'Rock 'N Roll !!!
BUNNY NUMPKINS & The KILL BLOW-UP REACTION 5:30pm
Post-Puppet Angst
Guitarist/banjoist
Patrick Swayze Double Dragon met bassist Thumper Thighston in Freedom,
Oklahoma while performing in a circus sideshow. While busking in
downtown Tucumcari, New Mexico, they met Lady
Mondegreen, a third generation singing hobo. They met drummer Frank
Lloyd Wrong working as a bartender at a questionable establishment named
Girls, Girls, Girls somewhere along Highway 25 in Wyoming. After being
permanently banned from performing at the Wind River Indian Reservation
for unbecoming behavior, they moved to sunny California so could
dedicate all their time to practicing for the upcoming International
Double Dutch Championship Competition. Together, they are Bunny Numpkins
and the Kill Blow-Up Reaction.

THE LEMMIES 4pm
Elegant Girl-punk from Sacramento!
were
born one drunken night at the Flame Club when Dahlia and Sailor were
discussing Lemmy and blow. Tuka was laughing and pretending to stroke
her mole. They started to play but wanted more musicians obsessed with
Lemmy's mole to join in. A few weeks later, Dahlia and Sailor met Disco
Liz at Paul Filthy and Adam Varona's birthday party. After talking shit
on Top Model for two hours we asked her what she thought of Lemmy and
his mole, She said "I'm down!". So here
we are, ready to rock you and hopefully change your mind about moles,
especially Lemmy's mole. Thanks for coming to a show! Love,
The Lemmies!
