CANCELLED: Original Famous Twang Sundays: Live Country Music | Potrero Hill

On Sunday, December 7th, Original Famous Twang Sundays welcomes Feral and The Heartache Sisters to Thee Parkside.

Feral is an Oakland-based band formed in the tradition of The Knitters, Patsy Cline, Mischief Brew, Ramshackle Glory, and Billy Bragg. Full of piss, vinegar, and bonafide heart-on-your-sleeve heartbreak, with a penchant for duets and upright basslines that bust holes through the wall, this trio is writing doomed waltzes and toxic two steps to remind you of why you fell in love… and why you started drinking… all at the same time.

Adventurous Americana duet, Heartache Sisters, initially began in the Fall of 2013 as a streamlined street team to spread the gospel of their 5-piece classic country band, Laura Benitez & the Heartache, and perform the group’s music in a stripped down manor.

Soon the Berkeley/Oakland, California duo began mixing in Laura Benitez’s (ex-The Cottonpickers) new songs (that touch on folk music and include a stunning murder ballad) and Michele Kappel-Stone’s (ex-Kirby Grips/Tippy Canoe) fiery power pop and 60s girl group influenced originals. They unite the variety of roots and rock rhythms with their searing close harmony singing and emotional live performances.
