Welcome to the House Of Love! We are so happy to introduce a regularly occurring musical happening curated and hosted by Mad Johnny Modell and Wally Llama Ingram from the band Casa Del Sol, along with our dear friend and collaborator Joby Marmot King Pritzker.
We are holding this residency the last Our first event will be at the Boom Boom Room on Thursday February 26th starting at 9PM.
Each monthly event will feature an original set by Casa Del Sol followed by a performance from a band or artist with whom we either share a close musical kinship, or who is a novel artist we’re excited to introduce to our Bay Area gang of deep music lovers (AKA The Strange Angels). The third act of the night will be a cross-collaboration featuring all the above, as well as very special guests and musical luminaries.
Our mission is to draw upon the rich musical heritage of San Francisco in order to foster a regular collective of artists and music lovers which honors and expands upon that spirit. The music will be top notch; the vibe will be celebratory. Won’t you join us at the House of Love?!?
CASA DE SOL
Casa Del Sol is a band of brothers with a mission to shed light in dark times. While the band might be called “alternative”, its cinematic music is rooted in 1960s and 1970s-inspired and socially-conscious psychedelic soul-rock. The proudly San Francisco, California-based band has just released its debut album, Strange Angels, a “turn on, tune in, drop out” offering- it’s a journey that rewards listening in one continuous sitting. The band is currently working on their follow up album.
Members of Casa Del Sol have deep roots in both the Northern and Southern California music scenes, but the band’s music is steeped in San Francisco’s richly diverse musical heritage. At its core, the quartet is a song-oriented band specializing in telepathic interplay with moments of soaring improvisation and dramatic arrangements. The four-piece group’s freewheeling but distinctive aesthetic encompasses strains of psychedelia, soul, rock, blues, jazz, folk, and world music.
Casa Del Sol features singer-songwriter, producer, and guitarist Mad Johnny Modell, and his best friend of 30 years, legendary drummer Wally Ingram (Sheryl Crow, Crowded House, Eric Burdon, Stockholm Syndrome, Bob Weir and Phil Lesh, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt). The band is rounded out by Modell’s dear friends, bassist Mike DiPirro (Free Peoples, Albany Project, Bill Kreutzmann) and keyboardist Mighty Dave Pellicciaro (Jackmormons, Materialized). While Modell is the band’s singer and songwriter, Casa Del Sol is a band in the truest sense.
DAGNASTERPUS
Dagnasterpus was born at 30,000 feet somewhere between Los Angeles and New Orleans, when a benevolent, funky creature—part octopus, part Poseidon, part Buddha—fell out of bandleader Tree Adams’ head in 2017. The band that emerged from the mighty DAG serves up a gritty blend of swampy grooves, deep blues, and psychedelic jams.
Adams is a veteran road warrior (NYC Jamband, The Hatters) and an award-winning composer known for iconic film and TV scores including Californication, Lethal Weapon, The 100, and NCIS: New Orleans. He’s joined by drum legend Wally Ingram (Timbuk 3, David Lindley, Bob Weir) and mighty Ben Levine on bass (country legend Neal McCoy, and INXS lead singer Ciaran Gribbin). Together, Dagnasterpus channels cosmic funk with feet (tentacles) firmly planted in the mud.
