The Bulbs evoke a heady mixture of the gothic swagger of Southern Death Cult and the loose, jangly vibe of Nuggets-era psych-garage. The San Diego rockers veer breathlessly between layered, driving riffs and a chorus that will get your inner go-go going.

Hawaiian shirts, pineapples, catchy Indie-Rock melodies, a British accent and craigslist - all can be used when describing new Southern California based indie-alternative group Lad’s Holiday. The band formed in late 2015 when founding members Cody Seeger and Liam Wilkes met via the reliable world of Craigslist. The two had joined another band via Craigslist before realizing that project was heading in a different direction musically than desired. Liam and Cody settled on the band name, Lad’s Holiday, after Liam (a Manchester, England native) had used the phrase when describing what Americans may call a “guys trip” or “dudes weekend”. The name stuck and the theme of the band was born (Hawaiian shirts, pineapples, inflatable zebras, etc… you get the idea). Lad’s Holiday spent a few months writing and recording their 6-track debut EP tiled “THE EP”. THE EP was released in June of 2016. So far in 2016 Lad’s Holiday has played at Music Box, SOMA, 710 Beach Club, Sofar Sounds San Diego and is scheduled to play Dec. 12th at Soda Bar and Dec. 30th at Tin Roof San Diego. Look for the Indie rockers to put out their first full-length album in the beginning of 2017

Joe Rathburn turned pro in 1972 and hasn't looked back. With a world of experience on stages big and small from concerts to coffeehouses, opening for a diverse list of artists from glam rockers Kiss to folk icon Dave Van Ronk, headlining his own shows, to playing corporate events, Joe is ready for just about anything. Joe knows what to bring to the gig. With enough cover material in his head to do 8 four hour gigs without repeating a song, and enough strong original material to do 3 two hour shows, Joe will provide the right music for you, if he can't, he'll tell you. He's very particular about which gigs he accepts, and wants to make sure that his repertoire fits with what the client has in mind. He's mostly about playing the music that has spoken to him over the decades, not necessarily what's most popular. He's good at what he does, but he knows he's not for everyone, and he doesn't try to be. One thing Joe will tell you right up front: "If you're looking for an all night dance party band, you best look elsewhere. On the other hand, if you're looking for just plain good music, some of which can be danced to, all of which makes for a good listen, and can be enjoyed by a wide variety of age groups, I can help you out". About his repertoire: Aside from his original music, which might fall under the categories folk/Americana/folk-rock or folk-pop, his cover song list consists of an eclectic mix of singer/songwriter material. There's Beatles, James Taylor, Paul Simon, Van Morrison, Cat Stevens, Jimmy Buffet, Sting, Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz, and many more. Then there's Motown, Reggae, Calypso, Beach Boys, and classic songs in all kinds of styles. He is interested in all sorts of gigs: community concerts, house concerts, church concerts, corporate events, private parties, residencies at restaurants etc. He performs solo, but also as a duo, trio, quartet, five and six piece. As a solo or duo Joe is fully equipped with high end sound gear to cover up to 300 people without any extra charge. Anything from the trio on up may require extra sound and Joe's sound tech, which would require an additional fee. The details of your event can always be worked out - send a request and Joe will figure something out to make your event special.
