Description

Park Street Riot with Michael and the MachinesCrazy Horse PresentsAges 21+ Formed in the Northern California foothills in 2016, Nevada City’s Park Street Riot has continually pushed their own sonic edge. They have established themselves as one of the most dynamic, powerful and energetic new bands to emerge from the greater Sacramento area. Their self-titled debut record released in March 2019 and recorded by Tim Green at Louder Studios (Bikini Kill, Melvins, Joanna Newson) is a testament to the songwriting prowess of frontwoman Marielle Walker, as well as the group’s varied individual influences and musicianship. Coming out of the pandemic with their 2022 release, “Gone,” the band has further solidified its impact. With a cohesive and catchy blend of garage rock, psychedelia and early 2000’s alternative, Park Street Riot’s live show is incomparably heavy and compelling, laced throughout with the raw, emotional power of Walker’s natural rock tenor, as well as the melodic and thunderous rhythmic foundations of Ryan Donnelly, Alex Scribner and Ryan Sheridan. Lyrically, Walker confronts themes of loss, existential dread and small town hedonism with an emotional rawness and wry wit that naturally expresses the many dualities present in our misunderstood human nature. In the current sea of cheap rock monotony, Park Street Riot’s music shines as a strange and exceptional jewel, bringing forth a realness and honesty representative of their own personal friendship and backwoods home. Opening Set by Michael and the Machines Michael and the Machines is the studio brainchild of guitarist and vocalist, Michael Padilla, former leader of Dora Flood and The Soft Bombs. The music conjures a hypnotic blend of psychedelic rock and dreamy pop. This local trio is fueled by the powerful rhythm section of drummer Kenny Nichols and bassist/backing vocalist Rex Padayhag.
