Van Goat, Killer Whale, Johnny Soultrain

Van Goat: Oakland based Swing Punk band “masterfully mixing Swing, Surf, Punk, and Pineapples into a magical Concoction.”

Killer Whale is a project undertaken by Thomas Johnson, a Baton Rouge, LA native, that mixes the histories and melodies of the South with the Bay and the result is something surprisingly reminiscent of the ’60s and ’70s, complete with drawbar organs, introspective lyrics, and guitar riffs that soar above a churning rhythm section.
