Chuck Prophet & The Mission Express
Friday, July 19
$18/$22/$25/$28
Chuck Prophet is a Californian singer-songwriter, guitarist, and producer. Prophet first achieved notice in the American psychedelic/desert rock group Green on Red, with whom he toured and recorded in the 1980s. He has also recorded several solo albums and gained prominence as a musician and songwriter. Prophet shapes his restless career with inimitable subtle flair: a vivid parade of razor-edged one-liners camouflaged in a slack-jawed drawl within songs about heartbreak and everyman heroism. Prophet describes his newest album Bobby Fuller Died For Your Sins as "California Noir." He says that the state has always represented the Golden Dream, and it's the tension between romance and reality that lurks underneath the surface in all noir films and paperbacks, and that connects the songs on this album.
Frank Orrall - (of Poi Dog Pondering)

Since then, Orrall has released 8 full length albums as Poi Dog Pondering, while traveling extensively with them and Thievery Corporation.

Los Angeles-based synth pop group Berlin, founded by bassist John Crawford, singer Terri Nunn, and keyboard player David Diamond, made its first national impression with the provocative single "Sex (I'm A...)" from the gold-selling debut EP Pleasure Victim in 1982. The group was filled out by guitarist Rick Olsen, keyboard player Matt Reid, and drummer Rob Brill. Berlin's first full-length LP was The Gold Love Life in 1984. In 1985, the group was pared down to a trio of Crawford, Nunn, and Brill. Berlin topped the charts in 1986 with the single "Take My Breath Away," the love theme from the Tom Cruise movie Top Gun.
