The Red Verse combine old country influences with a modern pop aesthetic. Former members of Beulah (Danny Sullivan) and Every Move A Picture (Allen Davis) join forces with emerging new songwriter/frontman Alex Oneil and Andrew Galluccio to form this new Bay Area four piece. 'Like watching The Edge play guitar for Jonathon Richman' , The Reverse successfully blend the old sun records sound with fresh new wave post punk guitar. This show celebrates their debut release "No Chance for Romance."
This is a pre-release party for the record. We are making 20 limited edition CD's with art by The Print Factor, that we will be selling at the show. The pressed and packaged version comes out on Aug. 18th, available through Tricycle Records and on ITunes.

The Frail was recently featured on the Future Sounds 28 Compilation and Blog!
"The Bay Area's The Frail are the perfect fix for anyone waiting for the next POSTAL SERVICE record, and oddly enough, this reference is actually fitting, as they met online, exchanging songs over the internet to create the original demos, like said Postal Service. The Count On This EP, is full of big electronic beats mixed with indie rock sensibilities, tipping their caps to HOT CHIP at times, then to DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE at others." – Future Sounds
