Seattle band wraps up US tour in Bay Area

November 13, 2014

Self-described “mutant blues/ garbage rock” band Freak Vibe from Seattle will be headlining in an all-ages show on Friday at 1-2-3-4 Go! Records in Oakland.

At first listen, Freak Vibe shows elements of 1970s rock and seems to have influences such as The Clash, Black Sabbath and The Doors.

In the middle of a United States tour, Freak Vibe’s stay in the Bay Area includes an Oakland show, a San Francisco show on Friday, and one in San Jose on Sunday as they make their way back up to their home in Seattle.

The all-ages event also features San Francisco punk band Flesh World and pop/post-punk band Linoleum Dream from Oakland.

Flesh World singer Jess Scott’s reverb-heavy vocals give the music a spooky feeling.

Their newest single “A Line In Wet Grass,” released in June, is available on their Bandcamp site for just $2.

Linoleum Dream has a more epic, roomier sound. They include high-reverb guitar sounds and hanging vocal melodies that integrate nicely with the way the recordings are mixed.

1-2-3-4 Go! Records is an independent record shop in the Temescal District in Oakland. They are known throughout the music community as a store with a very diverse selection and reasonable prices.

Awarded the East Bay Express Best of the East Bay award for Best Punk Record Store in 2009, the family room-sized shop also sports a back room with a small stage, holding around 60 people.

The store holds shows about three times a month, ranging from pop to punk, and everything in between.
The store will remain open during the live sets, allowing concert attendees with a wristband to shop for records before and after bands play.
