Killer Whale + Bong Kitty + The Black Tones Ivy Room Presents 21+ Killer Whale Bong Kitty, The Black Tones Ivy Room Presents Killer WhaleFacebook / Instagram / Spotify / Bandcamp This is a band that entirely encompasses the beauty of laying back. They have a unique vision that subtly welcomes you into their colorful rhythms and rock n roll daydreams. They create a space that invites you in, tells you to make yourself at home. TASTES LIKE YESTERDAY is the 3rd album from the New Orleans and San Francisco based band Killer Whale. They continue to embody a unique vision that subtly welcomes you into their colorful rhythms and rock n roll daydreams. This album casually creates a space that invites you in, tells you to make yourself at home and hugs you as you walk in the door. Killer Whale’s sound can express that moment when you step into an unfamiliar world, yet you’re mind is on fire for what you’ve never seen before. It lets you be comfortable in embracing your new you, your new dance….your new day. “At once deeply in tune with contemporary sensibilities, dream pop keyboards and harmonies, it also taps into classic '70s soul sounds, culminating in a piece of pop that moves the heart as often as it moves the feet.” - PopMatters "...a beautiful slice of hazy R&B/pop, with these ethereal vocals floating over gluey synths and this sprawling bassline. It has this melody that drifts into your ears, breaks your heart, and kisses it better all at once." -Backseat Mafia Bong KittyFacebook / Bandcamp San Francisco-based BONG KITTY is a tasty hybrid of rock and roll composted with a chunk of country sleaze and just a bit of soul from the cellar. The Black TonesBandcamp / Facebook / Instagram Seattle-based rock ‘n’ roll band, The Black Tones, welcome audiences into their musical family every time they take the stage. Whether sharing an evening with the group as it opens for Weezer, Death Cab for Cutie or Mavis Staples, or rocking a late night gig as the band headlines its own show (with mother and siblings in tow) at a prominent Emerald City venue, to know The Black Tones is to be a part of their extended sonic kin. Founded by twin siblings, Eva and Cedric Walker, the band has grown from humble beginnings in their grandmother’s basement to receiving accolades from outlets like KEXP, which named their debut LP, Cobain & Cornbread (recorded by the legendary Jack Endino), the #17 album of 2019; The Seattle Times, which dubbed the group one of the 15 Most Influential Artists of the past decade; and NPR, which named the band one of Seattle’s 15 groups redefining the city. But while these accomplishments are lofty, Eva and Cedric keep their feet firmly on the ground, maintaining warmth and humility. The Black Tones, which has already traversed the U.S. playing festivals in Nevada, Mississippi and Oregon, and boasts their own hate group-fighting 8-bit video game, will look to the new year with vigor, releasing a 7” on Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready’s record label in March. Undoubtedly, the band will pop up on the soundtrack to a family reunion near you. COVID-19 INFORMATION For our indoor shows only: Proof of vaccination is required for entry.
