Estocar, Intangible Animal, and Special Guests

Description

estocar is an underground surf dance happy pop band. a classic tale of boy meets boy meets girl meets boy. lanceH, who can be accused of master minding this foray into sound, spread grooves recorded in the windy city to potential drummers after relocating to the northwest. soon captivating the strong armed mad man hitting styles of sean. several trips to local pawn shops later, and drums that had been sold to pay off gambling debts and grocery bills were now back in the proper hands. now with a full-on line up, estocar began to play into the outer reaches of the northwest from their home base in seattle. while venturing out to such places as bellingham, boise, portland, eugene, olympia, san francisco, los angeles, etc., a tight knit sound began to boil. estocar took that energy into telephone studios in san francisco, and emerged with a new record (‘metaphorically speaking’). those songs in hand, estocar continues to use a fine tuned musical prowess to expand their sound riot throughout the west coast and beyond. trashing stages, spreading rumors and good will, sleeping on floors and couches of the faithful, visiting motel and hotel. laying down a cohesive ride through such schools of thought as shifty brain rock, surf 'n' sand grooves, art noise asides, angular tempos, 60s era confusions, and literary punk, all with a steady hand on the wheel and a lead foot on the gas pedal.

Founded in Chico CA in 2008, Intangible Animal represents the collaborative artistry of singer/songwriter Dane (The Giant) Nelson, bassist Cory James Keith, and percussionist Curtis Paul. Well known for their raw, inspired live shows and thoughtful, lyrically driven compositions, their avant garde brand of emotionally charged and skillfully crafted rock 'n roll is an amalgamation of pop and experimental jazz with nods in the direction of grunge and punk. In 2010 the group relocated and are now based dually out of Oakland and Sacramento. They have played in venues across California and are now planning a Western US tour in summer 2012 to promote the release of their first full length album "OhTheHumanity" in January 2013.
