A live evening of jazz and swing from the Little Big Band.

The visionary project of Liv Field and Rex John Shelverton, Pink Breath of Heaven patches together the textures of shoegaze with the energy of modern psychedelia. Glittery guitar, atmospheric melodies, and introspective lyricism turn dreamy vocal-driven tunes into riotous rock anthems. Their breakout single “Blue Is the Morning” announced a band with a focused intensity and their debut album Colors Make a Sound delivered a cohesive work that built out a distinctive world with each song. Pink Breath of Heaven is a rising force in San Francisco's psych-rock underground with sets that linger in the mind long after the show ends. -Shelly Novo; Good Times Santa Cruz

Singer Honus Honus (born with the comparatively conventional name Ryan Kattner) fronts Man Man, a deeply experimental rock project that features multiple musicians playing a wide array of instruments. The band debuted with 2004’s The Man in a Blue Turban with a Face. Songs like “10lb Moustache” defy easy categorization but feature elements of cabaret and music hall. Subsequent releases were no more mainstream, showcasing Honus’ distinctive and idiosyncratic approach to music. The group’s latest release is a skewed take on country-folk, “So it Goes,” a collaboration with Fingers & the Outlaws (who are, fitting enough, actually Man Man). -Bill Kopp; Good Times Santa Cruz
