PATTERNS AND TONES

The Checkers are back and playing a show tonight at LA's finest pirate supper club (with thee best Fish and Chips on the Eastside),  The Redwood Bar and Grill !!! The night will be hosted by sonic siren Asia Muka  with a musical line up that includes Sirens in the Night (with  Jail Weddings members) and those fabulously loud and snotty  Tenement Rats . To wrap the night up in a bow, sonic gold DJ John Tyree with be spinning records all night long for your listening pleasure. It's been three years since we've last set foot on stage and in honor of this rare occasion and as a Christmas gift, I thought I would share with you flyers from The Checker's past and present. Happy holidays and I hope to see you at The Redwood! Julie Green Lead Singer of The Checkers December 15, 2018

I had been looking forward to seeing The Savoys for quite awhile, since their guitarist George and I had been in a band together for many years. I was eager to see what he had moved on to and was not disappointed! Backing George Garcia's gutsy guitar sound was Mike Petrus on drums and Moises Arteaga on bass, who both created a solid driving rhythm section, just what is needed to round out Georgie's wall of sound. They had everyone up and dancing last November at The Redwood Bar and Grill for Asia Muka  Afternoon Action along with The Katellas , Mike Willamson, The Nuclears and Johnny Travis Jr. The following interview sheds a bit more light on this rock and roll trio from Long Beach. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. So sit back and enjoy taking a peek a these sweethearts from the south, along with this two song video I captured that night.
