Karl Strauss Announces Lineup For Beach To Brewery

Karl Strauss' annual Beach To Brewery beer and music festival is less than a month away, and they're touting a great local lineup. Little Deadman will open up the festivities, with their first show in months after recording their forthcoming record. Cuckoo Chaos and Blackout Party will follow with Stranger, Karl Strauss' employee filled house band, to headline. 

Sezio will be on hand this year screen printing some band, artist, and KS t-shirts live. There will be over 20 beers on tap, plus all of the proceeds go to San Diego's Surfrider Chapter. Grab your tickets early, this event sells out every year.

Kettner Openings : Subtext & Jett Gallery

Publisher and art organizer, Mark Murphy, has a solo show of his own opening tonight at Subtext Gallery. Murphy has created over 50 pieces for the show, including linoleum prints, watercolor, jewelry, and letterpress.

South on Kettner one block, Jett Gallery is hosting a stacked group show featuring works inspired by the late Los Angeles-based writer Charles Bukowski. I'd show up early if you want to see any art, this one is going to be a rager by 8pm I'm assuming.

Dirty Gold's Debut EP, Release Show

Last week, Dirty Gold spent their spring break in NYC for their own mini version of CMJ. Playing at Cake Shop, The Mercury Lounge and Union Hall three consecutive nights, the North County high schoolers turned a lot of heads in the big city. They garnered press from a wide variety of sources, including Brooklyn Vegan and NBC New York. 

Back from their trip, Dirty Gold has another big week ahead of them. Their debut EP drops this Tuesday via Autumn Tone Records, followed up by their EP Release Show this Saturday at The Loft (which we're very happy to co-present). Stream three live tracks from their performance at Union Hall below, and be sure to grab your tickets early for Saturday's show. Doors open at 8pm, So Many Wizards kick off the night at 8:30pm.

Kelsey Brookes Explores Berlin

Kelsey Brookes spent part of last November in Berlin, Germany for an opening at Circleculture Gallery. Followed around by his friend, "the Dutchie", Kelsey explored abandoned train stations and furthered his use of glitter and miniature paint brushes. The Dutchie put together a great trip recap / artist profile on Kelsey that can be viewed below.

Next Wednesday (04.13) we'll be hosting Kelsey as our guest DJ at Starlite for Sezio Wednesday. Cruise out for a Mule and to hear some tunes that Kelsey's been jamming in the studio lately.

Chairs Missing : Flea Circus, Music Video

This Friday freak-folk band Chairs Missing will take over the Park Gallery in University Heights, bringing with them a set of fire dancers, a balloon artist, and an "oddly alluring" flea circus. The evening will double as a music video shoot for Chairs Missing's forthcoming single "To The Hills". Cruise out at 8pm this Friday in costume to get in for free, getting your face painted at the door also scores you a free ticket. If you missed Chairs Missing's performance at Four Day Weekend, have a look-see below, plus you can grab their free EP here.
