The Hammerbombs’ new release, "F for Effort," just dropped and we’re having a party about it!! Hosted at San Diego’s iconic @thetowerbar — yep, the very location where Davey Tiltwheel got hit by a cop car while ON STAGE — join the Hammerbombs and enjoy hijinks from Middle-Aged Queers (East Bay power punk), SoCal super-friends Matt Caskill and the Breaks, and supergroup Old Julian! $10, Doors at 7, rock and roll at 8. 21+ with ID. Prizes, goodies, and good times! ***************************** * THE HAMMERBOMBS * ***************************** thehammerbombs.bandcamp.com @hammerbombsdrankallyourbeer Birthed in the Bay Area's era of overly expensive yet culturally monotonous post-enthusiasm, the Hammerbombs have continuously maintained their existence fueled by spite and beer. Their sophomoric sophomore record, "F for Effort," hit the digital and real-world shelves at the start of the month. Come celebrate this monumental feat of rock and roll! The Hammerbombs like to drink the beers and play the pop punk tunes. We've been in a million bands, and we'll probably be in a million more. Right now we're in this one. Get into it! *************************** * MIDDLE-AGED QUEERS * *************************** middleagedqueers.com middleagedqueers.bandcamp.com @middleagedqueers Described as “feeling like I’d mainlined joy” (Razorcake) and named the Bay Area’s best live band three times (Bay Area Reporter), Middle-Aged Queers are a supergroup of seasoned punks — ex-members of the Cost (Lookout Records), Fang (Boner Records), the Insaints (Maximumrocknroll Records), and the Shondes (Exotic Fever Records) — on a mission to make punk rock gay again. Since 2019, their much-talked-about show has soaked stages across North America, including appearances at Gainesville’s Fest, Montreal’s Pouzza Fest, Punk Rock Bowling, and more. *************************************** * MATT CASKITT AND THE BREAKS * *************************************** mattcaskittandthebreaks.com mattcaskittandthebreaks.bandcamp.com @mattcaskittandthebreaks Matt Caskitt & The Breaks are an American Power Pop-Punk Rock band from Southern California.

Oolong Gallery is thrilled to announce its upcoming exhibition, "The Room of Orpheus," on view from Nov. 1 to Dec. 11, 2024. This is the second show in Oolong's new permanent Rancho Santa Fe gallery space featuring work by four Southern California based artists: Jasmine Little, Derek Simons, Stan Kaplan, Bianca Juarez, who collectively explore themes of mythology, memory, and material in the form of ceramic sculptures and paintings. Inspired by the Mediterranean origins and mythology of Orpheus and the poignant Orphic trilogy by Jean Cocteau, alongside Philip Glass’s powerful score, "The Room of Orpheus" invites viewers into a new contemporary art space set in the Spanish Colonial town of Rancho Santa Fe, California. In relation to artists, the myth of Orpheus serves as a powerful metaphor for the creative process. Just as Orpheus's music evokes deep emotions and connects with universal themes of love, loss, and longing, artists use their mediums to explore and express the complexities of the human experience.
