You read that right … it’s Dietra Kruschev’s last show! Come check out their great sound before the final chords!

From LA RECORD:

diet_k “Hailing from Long Beach, the group plays downbeat—in contrast to upbeat—minor key songs. The groups sound was exemplified by their instruments: Fender semi-hollow body guitar with finger-picking by Aaron, low-end bass from Jeremiah, sparse and spooky Wurlitzer and Farfisa keys (like a Rhodes but not) and xylophone-esque bells and background vocals by Katie then and drummer Ramon who doesn’t play with sticks but rather mallets and a 26 inch vintage kick drum he inherited. Unique indeed. Even though I watched two individuals describe the sound as “funeral music” as they proceeded to leave the building, the band didn’t deny the resemblance; additionally, after discussing these early departers, we all decided that such a comment was a compliment since most avant-garde styles are rarely understood in their time. I suggest seeing the band or at least listening to them once before you die.”
