Grand Lake: (another) lineup change + new dates

Grand Lake had recently replaced drummer Ryan Parks with John Pomeroy, and I am sad to report that Erika Pipkin, who was a charging force behind the keys, is no longer a part of the Oakland band. nevertheless, I am confident that we can expect great things from the trio, who are currently working on new material

shows:
Friday, July 10 @ Metamusic, Santa Cruz w/ The Libra and The Inscape
Saturday, July 11 @ Rooz, Oakland, (Mission Creek Music Festival - as Headliner)
Thursday, July 16 @ Sophia's Thai Kitchen, Davis w/ Geographer (KDVS Cool As Folk Presents)
Wednesday, July 22 @ The Stork Club, Oakland, w/ Seasick, and Dirt Dress (Los Angeles) Bobby California (Rad Cloud) DJ's

Grand Lake- new video + DATES

lead singer Caleb Nichols describes the video for Concrete Blonde On Blonde as follows:

"Produced by the band and film maker Joe Golling, Concrete Blonde On Blonde stars a 1967 Volkswagen Beetle, and was filmed in one rather beautiful day in and around Oakland and the surrounding hills. The new video is truly a visually poetic compliment to a moody song about driving home."

I, for one, think it's awesome

3/26 - Amoeba Music Berkeley, free in-store performance, 6pm
