Davisville, 2/15/16: Solving downtown’s late-night crowds-and-alcohol problem

Mon, 02/15/2016 - 6:05pm | Bill Buchanan

2nd and G 021416.jpg

After months of discussions, Davis is closing in on new rules to tame downtown's late-night bar scene, which had grown in size, unruliness and violence until the fatal stabbing of a visiting college student last September shocked the town and prompted the city to clamp down. On today’s show we talk with Davis Enterprise reporter Felicia Alvarez, who writes about the issue for the paper.

Evan daly visits KDRT 95.7 Davis, CA

Davisite Evan Daly is well known in Northern California. His own band, the Evan Daly Blues Band, creates a soul-searching experience of blues-rock and a mighty fine guitar.

Album of the Week (02/11) Tame Impala ~ Currents

Thu, 02/11/2016 - 7:07am | Danny

currents

Stealing a line from this Pitchfork review, "Nearly every proper song on Currents is a revelatory statement of Parker’s range and increasing expertise as a producer, arranger, songwriter, and vocalist while maintaining the essence of Tame Impala: Parker is just as irreverent working in soul and R&B as he is with psych-rock."

I'm not one to rely heavily on P4K, but when they rate an lp 9.3 out of 10, I may give it a try. Currents ended up in their Top 5 for 2015, (Top 3 Reader's Poll) and in my list of fifteen favorite discoveries for the year.

Let It Happen and The Moment drew me in to this solo project and the rest grew on me shortly afterward. I recently picked up the double-lp from Armadillo Music and am pleased to share it during my turn of AoTW. Mr. Parker will be touring (with a full band) at the Greek in Berkeley early September. One of the two nights still has tickets remaining as of this post.

Gor Don visits KDRT

Gordon is a multi-instrumentalist, producer and songwriter based out of Oakland, California. Starting with the Scottish fiddle at the age of 4, his passion for music has grown to encompass a wide variety of styles. On the violin, this has included jazz, folk, celtic, bluegrass, r&b and reggae. As a vocalist, he has done everything from shape-note singing to opera to beatboxing. Among other credits, he was introduced to choral music by the legendary Chanticleer, briefly competed in a barbershop quartet, and directed a pop acappella group at UC Davis. In college, his tastes as a dance facilitator and budding producer lead him to house music, electroswing, and glitch hop. Gordon's current projects aim to bring together these diverse influences – his sounds have been described as "gospel folk" and "post apocalyptic railroad blues." As a musician, producer and performer, Gordon hopes to unite people of all backgrounds and make them dance. You can follow him online at soundcloud.com/buskproject

I See Hawks in L.A. photo

The Folk Brothers host SoCal band I See Hawks in L.A. for KDRT's Live in the Loam, Friday, February 5 at 2:30 pm PT. The band has an impressive catalogue of original songs that cover the musical terrain of country, rock, psychedelia, folk, and bluegrass. Lyrically, the songs display a wry sense of situational humor that typically isn’t found in this genre. The Austin Chronicle refers to their sound as "a divine fusion of humor and twang that’s definitely high, but not that lonesome."

I See Hawks in L.A. also appear that evening in Winters at the Palms Playhouse. Their latest release is Mystery Drug. Visit the band on the web at iseehawks.com.

Album of the Week: Nick Cave "Push the Sky Away" - Feb 4 at 5P

Nick Cave album art

AotW this week is Push the Sky Away (2013), Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds' first new recorded material in five years’ time. Cave spent those five years on projects unrelated to the Bad Seeds, including soundtracks, screenplays, and his musical side project Grinderman. Sky is a fairly quiet album for Nick and the Seeds, featuring misty tableaus and twisted love stories. The arrangements are subtle, wonderfully orchestrated, and well-suited to the material. In the end, it’s Nick Cave’s vocals that carry the day--equally tender and forceful, quite and dark...always a bit threatening.

Album Review: The Blessing and the Curse, by Lance Canales

Tue, 02/02/2016 - 10:40pm | Scott Korinke

Lance Canales The blessing & The Curse

The Blessing & The Curse

The Blessing and the Curse is Lance Canales' sophmore solo LP, his first studio album since These Hands, which was released all the way back in 2008. Canales brings all the bluesy, down-to-earth Americana sound one could ask for on the album, armed mostly with a simple yet well-utilized acoustic guitar and a deep, rusty voice that makes other Americana singers sound angelic by comparison. The themes on the album are very remeniscent of southwestern pioneer life, most notably on songs like the uptempo lead track "California or Bust," "The Farmer," and "Deportee," a song about a Mexican immigrants in America. Thematically, the album gets very dark at times--especially on "Death Got No Mercy," which is as depressing and downtrodden as it sounds--but ends on an energetic high note with the electrifying "Stomp it Out." Overall, this album is very good if not particularly ubpeat--a solid Americana album that uses strong lyrical imagery to get its ideas across about the troubles of life in the American West.

Davisville, 2/1/16: An earlier, simpler way to detect breast cancer

Mon, 02/01/2016 - 6:05pm | Bill Buchanan

Angela Courtney, Mike Gilson.jpg

Dr. Angela Courtney, left, who earned a PhD in integrative pathobiology from UC Davis last year, has developed a urine test to detect breast cancer. She has also formed Adrastia Biotech with fellow UC Davis alum Mike Gilson to develop a commercial version of the test … and survived breast cancer herself. Today we talk with Courtney and Gilson about her remarkable work, and what it would mean to have a simple, early way to detect a cancer that killed 41,000 women and 400 men in the United States in 2012. They filed for a formal patent at the end of last August, and hope to get the test to market in about two years. (photo courtesy UC Davis)
