Their debut album, Movies is a highly eclectic and varied mix of punk, alternative country, garage, and rock. Also catch them later that night at Brick and Mortar!

In town for sold-out shows at The Troubadour, English singer/songwriter Ben Howard plays a special acoustic set at Amoeba and signs copies of his new album, Every Kingdom (out now)."It’s the legacy of John Martyn, Bert Jansch, Nick Drake and Tim Buckley, one that has been updated lately with the rock dynamics of bands like Mumford & Sons. As he plays his acoustic and electric guitars left-handed, Mr. Howard’s songs seem to cascade from his fingers, gathering words and melodies as they go, carrying his reedy, tremulous voice as their crescendos surge." - NY Times
