BAR PINK HOSTS THE RUMBLE SAN DIEGO TONIGHT

THE RUMBLE: SAN DIEGO roars into North Park tonight for the June edition @ Bar Pink with three amazing acts, a guest DJ, Trumer Pils beer specials all night and free admission - if you can get in.

Headlining the bill is the lovely, MAREN PARUSEL. Formerly of the all-girl punk band, Wild Weekend, Parusel's new keyboard based pop sound has gotten her attention. She received a nomination for Best New Artist at the 2009 San Diego Music Awards and during her recent stint at SXSW, she caught the ear of the infamous, Kim Fowley (producer of The Runaways). Check out her song "Dear Love" available on 7" via Single Screen Records.

Rolling in for night #5 of their 6 night run of Rumbles it's LA's CHASING KINGS. They've been debuting a number of new songs all week long and these new directions are all impressive. They even have a new Gram Parsons/Flying Burrito Brothers sounding track and a new whale tattoo that they picked up in Portland. Their LA set was commanding, definitely a band in full tour mode with their chops as tight as possible.

Opening the night are DRUG WARS. Called "the best kind of post-hardcore-punk-rock to listen to" by 7 Inches blog, this four piece are gathering buzz even across the pond with Collective Zine UK taking notice of their 7 inch 9846 (Grizzly Records).

Plus, a DJ set by METH COMBZ (pka Seth Combs of SD City Beat).

The Rumble: San Diego is in partnership with FUTURE SOUNDS, INDIGENOUS, M THEORY MUSIC, SDDIALED IN, TRUMER PILS and THE OWL AND BEAR.

Bar Pink is located on 30th in North Park

THE RUMBLE: SAN DIEGO TONIGHT @ BAR PINK

THE RUMBLE: SAN DIEGO @ Bar Pink has become one of the most eagerly anticipated club nights in SD, bringing together a diverse and art-driven community in North Park each month. Tonight, the April edition of The Rumble happens with some of San Diego's best upstarts as well as our new best friends, PEPPER RABBIT.

Here's who is playing the party...

WRITER is comprised of brothers, Andy and James Ralph. We've had the pleasure of hearing their new EP and the new sound is less pop and more eclectic than their previous release, Blood Drops. We are really diggin it and are look forward to hearing the new songs live.

Traveling through the west coast Rumble Tour is LA's psych-pop act PEPPER RABBIT. We've had the pleasure of seeing them on Rumbles dating back to SXSW recently, and their brand of music - THE SHINS meets LOCAL NATIVES feels right on. You've never seen a few guys do as much at the same time than PR, multi-tasking made to look easy.

Also on the bill are BLACK MAMBA, led by Aimee Sanchez who's timeless voice perfectly lays over airy songs that make you feel warm and fuzzy. Coming off the 2009 Golden Birthday EP (Single Screen Records) released last year, Black Mamba continues to make new music and we hope they have a new release this year.

Lastly, if you aren't hip to the JAMUEL SAXON remix craze, get on it! Given that couple, Keith Milgaten and Aimee Sanchez from BLACK MAMBA and the Ralph brothers from WRITER make up this dancey group, it's only fitting to have them collab on the tables for our Rumble night.

Of course on top of the FREE entry, we have beer specials brought to us by TRUMER PILS all night.

This FREE monthly, indie-rock night is brought to you by Future Sounds, Indigenous Promotions, SDdialed In, M-Theory Music and SDCity Beat.

THE RUMBLE: SAN DIEGO OPENS TONIGHT @ BAR PINK

Well, we rocked the Casbah and had a good time with a series of matinee parties and now we've moved THE RUMBLE: SAN DIEGO to North Park and BAR PINK. We've had our eye on this place since our friends at INDIGENOUS turned us onto Dang and company and tonight we kick off 2010 with an incredible RUMBLE: SAN DIEGO line-up.

The out-of-towner this month is the band that has absolutely wrecked The Rumble Tour this week, starting from Seattle to Thursday night's Rumble: LA - JAGUAR LOVE. It's been a total pleasure working with this band from pre-Rumble prep through the actual parties, two great guys that have taken the work done with The Blood Brothers and Pretty Girls Make Graves and turned it into a mash-up of T Rex and Robert Plant meets Passion Pit on fire. Expect a party the minute you hear the first scream, and there will be a lot of them.

Supporting the J-Love are two San Diego acts that you should already know about, but we're still dating - THE DABBERS and SPIDER FEVER. The Dabbers are just the kind of rock and roll band that we love here at FS, dirty, tough, grimey, the kind of band that you'd pick to go on a bar crawl with. Their music reflects that same kind of dangerous lifestyle that we only fondly wax sentimental about these days. SPIDER FEVER is yet another SD band that we've heard about from numerous SD trusted sources - what's going on San Diego - why so many good bands??

Guest DJ for the evening is DJ RUBYMARS

Of course, there will be $3 TRUMER PILS beer specials and if you're lucky, we may even do an hour of free TRUMER sampling, so get there early. The folks at TRUMER have been great in supporting The Rumble ->ie. making sure the band's don't go thirsty, allowing us to keep the event free, providing a premium beer at a low price, and now FREE tastings!

THE PARTY IS FREE

The Rumble: San Diego is brought to you by Future Sounds, Indigenous, SDdialed In, SD City Beat, M-Theory Records, WOXY, Spin Earth and Trumer Pils.

BAR PINK is located at 3829 30th Street in North Park

SATURDAY MATINEE SHOW - THE RUMBLE: SAN DIEGO @ THE CASBAH

The early bird gets the worm, or in this case, the Ape, as THE RUMBLE: SAN DIEGO returns to the Casbah this Saturday for a FREE matinee show with APES OF WRATH, AWOLNATION and THE OLD IN OUT, brought to you by Future Sounds, Indigenous, WOXY, Spin Earth, M Theory Records, SDdialed In, CityBeat and Trumer Pils.

If the APES OF WRATH continue their Rumble devastation tour in the fashion they've been going over the last few nights, playing their home turf tomorrow is going to be a spectacle. The trio sounds tighter than ever after four nights on the road, and I just received a copy of their full length and it's incredible.

Coming up from LA is the force that is AWOLNATION. You may recall frontman, Aaron Bruno from UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF GIANTS previously, this is his new project that is drawing big crowds in Los Angeles. High energy and with personality for a couple bands, not to be missed.

Opening up is the SD act, THE OLD IN OUT, and if you just go by the name, their going to bring the nasty. We had our local partners tell us how amazing they are live, so we've put together a line up of three acts that we know stand and deliver on stage.

Coming strong as guest DJ's this month are the dynamic duo of DJ RED OCTOBER and DJ C. WIZARD.

This is a FREE show and there will be beer specials provided by TRUMER PILS all afternoon long.

THE PARTY LASTS FROM 3PM-6PM
Come out early and start your Saturday night off right

TONIGHT IN SAN DIEGO - THE RUMBLE: SD @ THE CASBAH - FREE BBQ

TONIGHT in San Diego at The Casbah it's a matinee version of THE RUMBLE: SAN DIEGO starting with doors at 6pm and FREE BBQ + Trumer Pilsner beer specials all afternoon/evening.

The line-up is incredible, with local badasses RAFTER headlining and showing off the SD power that's happening on that local music scene these days. Sadly, it's the last night of The Rumble Tour with UNITED STATE OF ELECTRONICA who started with us in Seattle and now part ways this evening with a final performance in SD. I heard rumor that they played on the top of some double-decker bus last night in Las Vegas and floored everyone at Bardot on Friday night in Hollywood.

U.S.E in Vegas last night

Opening up are the mighty Hermosa Beach band, THE JAKES, fresh off their recent Roadrunner Records signing and with a frontman that has a voice big enough for two bands.

Tonight is FREE and the free ribs and chicken plus beer specials give you no excuse for soaking up some great acts to close out your weekend.

THIS WEEKEND - THE RUMBLE: SAN DIEGO LAUNCHES

If you are going to be in San Diego this weekend for THE NORTH PARK MUSIC THING, then you'll end up at the launch of our RUMBLE: SAN DIEGO party that will be the closing night finale show at The Casbah on Sunday. The 2nd year music festival has a lot of panels and activities and showcases happening around North Park, check out more info HERE.

Future Sounds is teaming with the local SD mafia, SEZIO, M-THEORY RECORDS, INDIGENOUS, THE CASBAH and our buddies at WOXY.COM to produce an evening full of art installations by the Sezio art collective, and live music performances by THE GROWLERS (Long Beach), APES OF WRATH (SD) and LIGHTS ON (SD). The guest DJ for the night is GABE VEGA, so you know he'll keep you moving.

It's 21+ and it's FREE - Doors are at 8PM

JUST ANNOUNCED - THE RUMBLE: SAN DIEGO LAUNCHES AUGUST 9TH

Now we've done it, we've slipped down to San Diego and will be opening up THE RUMBLE: SAN DIEGO on August 9th at THE CASBAH, and it's going to be the grand finale of the NORTH PARK MUSIC THING conference. Our first one is going to be FREE and the entertainment features some of the hottest bands in Southern California.

Coming down from Long Beach, it's THE GROWLERS. They launch their monthly residency in August at The Echo in LA, but are jumping down to help us kick off the new monthly the right way, with a band we've been obsessed with for ages. This band has a touch of magic to them, and getting them this close to the border of Mexico should bring out the best/worst in them.

Representing San Diego are two of their finest up and coming bands - APES OF WRATH and LIGHTS ON. If you have listened to our FS radio show in the last few months, you've heard us spin both of these quite a bit, so when we got our pick of the litter for SD, we knew immediately who we wanted to hit up.

The guest DJ for the night is a guy that needs to introduction in SD, GABE VEGA.

THE RUMBLE: SAN DIEGO will start running every month and fall on the first Saturday normally as a matinee show at The Casbah. We've teamed up with some amazing partners from San Diego like SEZIO, M-THEORY RECORDS and INDIGENOUS to bring you the best of not only San Diego, but adding another stop on the soon to be monthly Rumble tours that start in Seattle.
