Tonight, the Monarch brings a line up of bands that include some amazing female fronted bands! The Hangover Brigade brings a jam band feel that brings out lead singer, Tawnee Kendall’s power-driven vocal capabilities. Their song, “Any Way I Can Get It”, brings out the talent of the band, and their music is an experience itself that captivates the listener in a trance and doesn’t let go. Vela Eyes has a much more shoegaze punk feel to their sound which incorporates inspiration from new wave and classic rock acts. Their song, “Witches”, starts off heavy, with a more post-punk feel, but quickly switches to a more poppy and melodic sound. Tall Sheep, with their distorted bass, melodic pop guitars, and delayed vocals, bring a nice twist to the classic “indie” genre. Their song, “Run”, has a 80s new wave nostalgic feel that has a modern dream indie pop feel. The Ultra Violent Rays bring heavy bass, a mix of multi-genre elements, and mystifying vocals to the line up. Their track, “Love Addicts”, even incorporates some record scratching in the beginning of the song that is entirely dreamy and Goth-reminiscent.
Be sure to head out to the Monarch tonight, and catch some amazing the Bay Area based female fronted bands! –Victor Casillas Valle
