The Soft White Sixties are rockin’ and rollin’ through the West Coast beginning in Seaside, California on Dec. 1. The soul tinged five-piece, formed in 2008 by singer-songwriter Octavio Genera and now including bassist Ryan Noble, rhythm section Joey Bustos, guitarist Aaron Eisenberg and guitarist Josh Cook, make music that is a throwback to another time (say, the 1960s), when rock n’ roll was badass and groovy and simple.
The band has started making its mark in California, selling out shows in Bay Area venues such as Café du Nord, Bottom of the Hill and The New Parish, performing at SF’s Summerfest, opening San Francisco’s NoisePop festival and SXSW. As if they weren’t busy enough, the band recorded a five song EP and has begun prepping for three new singles, all set for release later this year.
