Calvin Johnson & The Hive Dwellers: Free Rock ‘n Roll Show | Oakland

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Join Stranded, Oakland’s vinyl record store on Telegraph Avenue for a free in-store concert by Calvin Johnson with his latest band, The Hive Dwellers, at 7 pm on Monday, September 15, 2014. .

Although the store isn’t saying it, but this show falls right around Stranded’s second anniversary, so stop by to hear the show, and wish them a happy birthday. Free and all ages.

Spawned in the late double-O decade by Calvin Johnson at the Dub Narcotic Studio, the Hive Dwellers is a band, a combo (as in combination) of disparate individuals who share a common love of rock’n’roll, library cards and railroad travel. When they emerge from the froth and frumble of their active bicycle-powered lives to make music, the Hive Dwellers emit a pelt of bright, shiny ((NOW)) with a love of pop music underground and it’s more vacuous mainstream distant cousins. – K Records
