IVY ROOM PRESENTSTUESDAY APRIL 22NDโAlex Carlin TriadThe Sleepers A.D.Sonic Highwayโ7pm doors / 7:30pm show$14.73 ADV / $15 Day of ShowโIVY ROOM | 21+โAlex CarlinAlex Carlin, born in Chicago in 1957, is an American rock musician and songwriter.He was a teenage member of the seminal 1970s California bands Psycotic Pineapple and The Rubinoos.In 1984, "Little Demon", a song co-written by Alex, was the feature musical number performed in the hit comedy film โBachelor Partyโ, starring Tom Hanks.In 1990, for six months, Alex extensively toured the Soviet Union with his San Francisco band Alien Beachhead, with bassist Bill MacBeath and drummer Peter Ffrench.In 2000, Alex moved to Europe, where he played over a hundred concerts per year for more than a decade, performing in almost every country. Concerts often included the renowned fusion drummer Atma Anur, known for his work with Journey.In 2006, the Scorpions' bassist Paweล Mฤ
ciwoda performed on Alexโs recording of his song, "No Sleep, Only Rock and Roll".In 2009, Alex became a Guinness World Records holder for Longest Solo Concert after playing 32 hours of rock songs in Radomsko, Poland.In 2012, he formed the ALEX CARLIN BAND. In addition to Alex, current members are drummer Denis Matuizo and bassist Andrey Samoylov, brother of bassist Peter Samoylov of the legendary Russian band Alisa. For these 8 years, they have been touring all across Russia, performing in every region, as well as in the neighboring Central Asian republics.Alex has a degree in Russian literature from UC Berkeley.For over a decade, concern about Climate Ruin (his coinage) led him to become the foreign correspondent on environment for the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD). He has reported from many United Nations climate conferences, and has presented his own climate restoration plan at both the Poland and Madrid conferences, as well as the 2020 BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) summit in Sochi, Russia.The plan calls for revitalizing Russian fisheries in the northwest Pacific, thus greatly increasing photosynthesis so as to repurpose significant amounts of CO2. As he discusses in the film, Alex believes the plan offers a great opportunity for Russians and Americans to forge friendships and work together.The Sleepers A.D.The Sleepers formed in Palo Alto, California, in 1978.Michael Belfer had been trying to form a band with his friend, Tim Mooney, and Belfer had decided he wanted former Crime drummer Ricky Williams for vocals, as "he was so awesome looking". The band released a five-track 7-inch EP in late 1978, and then broke up, with Belfer playing in Tuxedomoon during 1978 and 1979, and Williams co-founding Flipper, from which he was fired before the band made any recordings "for being too weird".In 1980, the band reformed and released a single, "Mirror"/"Theory", and an album, Painless Nights. The new lineup on the LP featured Brian MacLeod (drums), Ron MacLeod (bass), and Mike White (guitar/effects). Williams' abuse of speed led to erratic and violent behavior, which culminated in his passing out on stage on the second date of the group's East Coast tour at New York's Hurrah. The band broke up onstage after this incident.Sonic Highway70s/80s cover band
