You Are What You Hear

October 18, 2012 - 10:52am

By: Kamila Kudelska

KDVS is a valuable place, full of extraordinary characters in all areas specifically in the music scene. Most people might say that you will meet some of the characters of your lifetime in the Freeborn basement. The irreplaceable library of music that makes KDVS is what attracts the people who truly love those garage/basement bands that ensue. The renowned ability that has been found in KDVS is the faculty to play music not mainstream or popular but in an unique DJs mind educational, diverse, and challenging but overall awesome. What may be the most attracting feat of this community is each person’s passion and love for a variety of music.

But what makes KDVS so unique is the diversity of personality present. Recently NPR wrote an article about the six songs that describe who you are, essentially “you are what you hear.” By answering six questions, you are able to infer who the person is. In an effort to try to introduce the community of KDVS some of our new volunteers and current DJs and staff answered the following questions:

LAKE (Oly), Nacho Business, Yea-Ming (Dreamdate, Solo Set), Skrill Meadow

May 23, 2012 - 3:10pm

The Robot Rocket Residence (633 M) is proud to announce another great house show with some rad bands from Olympia and the Bay! Due to the touring acts there will be a $5 cover (which is way less than you'd pay to see these awesome acts in the Bay)

****there's four bands on the bill, making for extra-awesomeness, but also means that we really need to start on time! show up at 8:30 and you'll get to see all the bands!*****

LAKE (Olympia): One of my favorite indie-pop bands of the past decade, they were scheduled to play a much bigger and hipper venue in Sac. They got bitten by the house show bug and that's good news for all us Davis fans! LAKE can best be described as Fleetwood Mac meets Olympia- so naturally, lots of handclaps, tambourines and male-female harmonies.

San Francesca, Killdevil, Groove Heroes

May 4, 2012 - 6:08pm

It's spring and the Robot Rocket Residence's spring show schedule is in full swing. The last two shows were pretty folk-y but you better be ready to rock out tomorrow!

San Francesca (SF)
is kicking off their California tour here in Davis, so let's start their tour off right, with a killer house show! They remind me of So Cow with their off kilter rock but with more electronics. One of the more interesting new indie pop/rock bands out of San Francisco!
http://sanfrancesca.bandcamp.com/

Killdevil (Sac)
The RRR is proud to bring one of Sacto's bands out across the causeway. It's nice to see some new faces around the backyard. They straddle the line between post hardcore and 90s indie rock, guaranteed to get your hair flying.

The Groove Heroes (Davis)
providing some local support. Simply put, rock'n'roll with good vibes and some funky soul.
