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

THE RUMBLE: SAN DIEGO TONIGHT @ THE CASBAH

San Diego, you're about to feel the aftershock of The Rumble in Los Angeles, as the line up that smoked the 3 Clubs in Hollywood is making its way down to The Casbah for THE RUMBLE: SAN DIEGO tonight. Local legend, LADY DOTTIE & THE DIAMONDS, LA's FITZ & THE TANTRUMS and Seattle's THE BLAKES combine for a night for the ages.

Special DJ set by local music guru, Tim Pyles.

We're also thrilled to add two new partners to THE RUMBLE: SAN DIEGO this month, in the shape of CITYBEAT and SDDIALEDIN, to go with Indigenous, Trumer Pils, Casbah, M Theory Music, and WOXY.
