Rocksteady Monday w/ The Hempsteadys & The Steady 45s

The Hempsteadys It is not every day that a band releases a concept album as their debut full length, but The Hempsteadys are anything but conventional. El Amor De Los Muertos is a rock(steady) opera about forbidden love, with classic movie monsters as the cast of characters. Think The Specials’ “Ghost Town” with the subject being more literal than symbolic and the music having a similar sound. Equal parts Punk Rock, Two-Tone Ska, and Bruce Springsteen, with a heavy street, funk, and world beat influences, Hempsteadys call it a dance party for the working class...but they've also been called "The P-Funk of Street Punk" and "The Wu-Tang Clan of Ska Bands". A sample of bands The Hempsteadys have shared the stage with would be Andrew W.K., The Slackers, We Are Scientists, Mates of State, The Aggrolites, Leftover Crack, The Toasters, Pietasters, and Mephiskapheles. music: www.thehempsteadys.bandcamp.com The Steady 45s Rocksteady and Traditional Ska music from a 7-piece band of hooligans from Los Angeles, CA. music: http://reverbnation.com/thesteady45s 21+ WITH ID $5 // 8pm 33 Golden Street.
