The next big show at the venue will be a concert by Sloths of Portland, Oregon, and Love Moon of Oakland, California.
According to the news release on the Bishop’s website, Sloths balances the darker, nihilistic point of view with a dynamic edge.
The release went on to state the three-piece has toured the West Coast and released two EPs, the most recent of which is titled “Twenty Years.”
“The new 12-inch, ‘Twenty Years,’ is their best yet, furthering the band’s fetish for genre twisting melancholy that’s only native to the pacific northwest,” the release stated.
The group includes Kyle Bates on guitars and vocals, Alec van Staveren on bass and Nate Sonenfeld providing drums and vocals.
Love Moon, a psych-sludge band, recently changed its home base to the Bay Area from Indianapolis, according to the release.
“Having established a national basement reputation with their previous band, Male Bondage, Love Moon, named after the now out of print Male Bondage LP, is poised to annihilate West Coast eardrums with superfluous amplification and celestial catchiness,” the release said.
Members in the band are bassist and vocalist Jordan Martich, guitarist Charlie Thomas and drummer James Lyter. The band has two EPs, “Clouded Bliss” and “Hocus Focus.” The band’s biography describes its sound as “otherworldly.”
“Tour-hards by nature, it is inevitable that Love Moon will eventually be hauling an excessive number of amps into your town, drinking most of the beers and leaving a weird, foggy, but ringing memory in your ears and hearts,” the biography said.
The show is open to anyone 18 years and older.
