Middle Class Rut to Play Majestic Theatre, 9/14
By: Caryn Robbins Aug. 30, 2011
94.1 WJJO presents MIDDLE CLASS RUT with special guests UME, Lite Brite on Wednesday, September 14, 2011 at 8:30 pm. Doors open at 7:30 pm.
Middle Class' two members, Sean Stockham and Zack Lopez, have been playing together since they were teenagers, camping out in Zack's mom's house in Sacramento to write and record the songs they wrote. The duo's first band, Leisure, dissolved in early 2003 after a few false starts, sending Zack to work construction and Sean to labor as a studio runner in L.A. But they soon realized stopping wasn't an option. Sean moved back to Sacramento and Zack began driving up every weekend from L.A. to write and rehearse music. After a year of commuting up and down the California coast, Zack relocated as well, solidifying a future for the pair's new band, MIDDLE CLASS RUT.
The band has spent the past four years crafting new songs and allowing the style and sound of their project to evolve and establish itself. The pair records every song they write together almost immediately in their rehearsal space, capturing the instantaneous spirit of a track while still in the moment. This means that each number is imbued with a distinct sense of urgency, almost like a snapshot of the moment of inspiration. The band's debut, NO NAME NO COLOR, is a collection of these recordings.
Tickets are $9.41 in advance, $12 day of show. For more information, click here
