Club Congress 7pm $10 Benefit for Centro Pazifico For several years now, Camino Común, a Colombia solidarity project organized by Raquel Mogollón, and the People’s Human Rights Observatory (an international human rights network) have worked with AURACOL (Colombian Association for Agrarian Unification and Reorganization), a union of rural farmers in the town of Sevilla, and UBUNTPAZ, a local organization in Buenaventura, Colombia, to develop opportunities for their member families. AURACOL is also part of REDFIC (Francisco Isaias Cifuentes Human Rights Network), which operates the Centro Pazífico center in Cali. We are working with all these organizations to plan a delegation to the area in May with two objectives. One is to put a roof on and further rehabilitate a building for a prospective school to serve the children of AURACOL at their collective farm. The other is a neighborhood clean up and beautification project organized by UBUNTPAZ for a children’s center in Nayita, one of Buenaventura’s neediest barrios. The benefit is to buy the tools and materials for these projects, all of which will be left with the respective organizations when the delegation has finished its work. Both AURACOL and UBUNTPAZ are in a part of Colombia that registers the highest rates of political violence in the country. AURACOL is a labor organization of farmers and farm workers. Its leaders and supporters are under constant threat from local paramilitary groups and narcotraffickers. Buenaventura, where UBUNTPAZ is located, is the largest port on Colombia’s Pacific coast, a city that is more than 85% Afro-Colombian, and one of the poorest areas of the nation, despite the megaprofits being made by the port. We will be working with the UBUNTPAZ children’s center in Nayita and its recycling program that gathers plastic waste and turns it into park benches, playground equipment, and more. The center plays an important role in providing education and opportunities to local youth and alternatives to the heavy recruitment by paramilitaries and narcotraffickers. Supporting these projects is an important contribution to peace and an end to the armed conflicts in the region that have caused so many problems for these organizations and the populations they serve and represent.

Elf Power adds a Tucson show on their "Artifical Countrysides" Tour, with support from us: Golden Boots. Athens, GA-based psychedelic folk band Elf Power is on tour in support of their first new album in more than five years, "Artificial Countrysides". Praised by Stereogum, Under The Radar and BrooklynVegan, who said “It finds their unique psychedelic pop/indie rock fusion sounding as great as ever,” the band’s 14th album in an almost 30-year career centers around the gray zones where the natural world collides with the creeping encroachment of the digital realm, where the balance between real and simulated can shift from one minute to the next. “That title also describes the songwriting process, of world-building or creating an artificial landscape within a song,” explains Rieger. Golden Boots, joined by Tristan Jemesk on drums and Clay Koweek on pedal steel, will be performing their last show until this fall. 21+ No cover, but we will be asking donations for the touring bands 🙂

INSTRUMENTALS

"Reach Of Children"

RVCA's welcome to surfer Ivy Thomas: Instrumental Boots with Tommy Larkins on percussion and tidy on synth... recorded at Waterworks West.

From the cassette tape wilds of downtown Tucson, Arizona: it's the Golden Boots!
Formed in 2002 by artists Ryen Eggleston and Dimitri Manos, Golden Boots’ music is a lo-fi and often ragged take on folk and pop rock. The duo has been joined by many contributors over the years, which has created a charismatic diversity in performances and recordings. The common thread among all Golden Boots’ output is their desire to playfully deconstruct American roots music with indie and punk-country spirit.

The newest Golden Boots album is called Liquid Ranch: 
"Liquid Ranch is a culmination of the lived-in Golden Boots aesthetic: a blending the late 80’s/90’s lo-fi movement and cassette culture with elements of 70’s country. Replete with with hooks, rough hewn harmonies, the songs of Liquid Ranch are set loose to lurch and ramble in a unique sonic landscape littered with the absurd & sometimes dark wreckage of the American Psyche."

Golden Boots has played in the USA, Mexico, France, Germany, UK and Belgium. Over the years they've shared the stage with such wonderful acts as: Television Personalities, The Chills, Calvin Johnson, Jeffery Lewis, Dirty Projectors, Little Wings, Cat Power, Magnolia Electric Co., The Microphones, LAKE, John Doe, Giant Sand, Poster Children, Greg Turner and Dr. Dog

In other people's words: 

"...appealing, low-fi indie rock that's been baked in the Southwest sun... overflowing with ramshackle charm" - Brooklyn Vegan

"There's stuff out there that not all eyes and radar detect. We have the Golden Boots for those very delicate needs." - Paste Magazine

"There’s an overused quote about Lambchop that calls them “Nashville’s most fucked-up country band”. Replace Nashville with Tucson, Arizona and you’ve got a working starting point for Golden Boots..." - Rosy Overdrive

"Southwesterners come off like spaced-out cowboys, lassoing bleeps and bloops and riding off on country deconstruction into some warped sunset" - Pop Matters

"With a sound that would fit well on a mixtape containing Alex Chilton, The Clean, Beck, Flying Burrito Brothers, The Meat Puppets, early Flaming Lips and the Monkees, Golden Boots have released a respected body of work" - It's Psychedelic Baby Magazine

"shades of psychedelia...shot through with a dose of desert-fried country a la the Meat Puppets or Giant Sand." - Tucson Weekly

"lo-fi, shabby-chic, alt-country group...that sounds like Wilco stripped of the polish." - Williamette Weekly

"Golden Boots have an edgy feel, like Beck meets Tom Waits. The songs exude a raw sense of natural discovery evident both in the vocals and instrumentation. It's Impossible to describe the fantasy that animates their composition, arrangements and singing." - Abus Dangerouex Magazine

"Golden Boots...of the Brian Wilson Orchestral school of pop mutations and...the Beatles symphonic drug experiment." - Stranded In Stereo
