ivy room presentsTHURSDAY SEPTEMBER 6TH—COUNTRY RISQUÉOH LONESOME ANAALVIE AND THE BREAKFAST PIGS—Doors 8pm / Show 8:30pm$15 Advance* / $17 Day of Show—IVY ROOM860 San Pablo Ave, Albany 21+COUNTRY RISQUÉ—Country Risqué is America's riskiest country band: classic honky-tonk, modern values. Formed by singer-songwriters Miles Gordon and Daniel Bromfield who met in Eugene OR in 2012 and upon finding themselves in San Francisco decided to combine their love of country music into a band with a clear and simple credo. Country Risqué performed its first show in February 2022, with their debut album Doe-Eyed Loverboys and Saints album produced by the legendary Sonny Smith (of Sonny & the Sunsets) out now on Rocks in Your Head Records. Defined by the coffee-and-chocolate contrast of Miles Gordon’s rich, formally trained vocals and romantic lyrics with Bromfield’s dark humor and deadpan singing style, Country Risqué explores queer love and disillusionment in the language of classic tear-in-my-beer honky-tonk music. Country Risqué has grown its numbers since its inception and currently features Richard Moog on lead guitar, Tomas Georgiou on drums, Forest Reid on the lap steel, and Oscar Garcia on bass.OH LONESOME ANA—Depending on who you ask, Oh Lonesome Ana might be a blend of Americana and Emo, Indie Crunch Folk Garden Rock, or Ethereal Alt-Country, and maybe it’s because they care more about songs than genres. Their debut record, Megadeth Tee, has been called soul-crushing and inspirational, and heavenly heaviness and pure emotionalism all tied up together.ALVIE AND THE BREAKFAST PIGS—Bursting with amplified energy and propelled by relentless momentum, Alvie & The Breakfast Pigs embody the raw essence of rock n' roll. They didn't set out to revolutionize the genre, but rather to serve the time-honored, high-octane melodies that defined generations. Their music, akin to the hearty satisfaction of burgers and fries, permeates the dive bars of San Francisco and fuels the city's insatiable appetite for rock.They are the rock band San Francisco deserves, echoing the city’s resilience and eclectic spirit.In 2015, they traded the desert heat of Phoenix for the vibrant pulse of San Francisco, lured by the legendary music scene. Their arrival was a counterpoint to the exodus of artists fleeing the tech industry's encroachment and the soaring cost of living. Unfazed by the intimidating rents and steep prices, The Breakfast Pigs remained steadfast in their blue collar pursuit of their musical dreams.Today, The Breakfast Pigs stand proud as one of the city's last bastions of rock, a testament to their resilience and unwavering passion. Their latest album, "Loud and Fast," released on July 31st, 2020, signifies a bold, exploratory stride in their musical journey. This dynamic two-single release finds them expanding their lyrical horizons, tackling wider societal issues beyond their personal experiences. Brimming with political discord, frenetic energy, and an undercurrent of wanderlust, it's a sonic expedition into the realm of imagination and a candid exploration of the contentious history of their country's southern border.
