\"Good<\/a>It didn\u2019t surprise me at all when I heard that several members from Army of Freshmen had taken on a new project, an album for children, called Good Kids<\/em>. It features 14 high-spirited, multi-genre songs that speak to children. If you know the band, then you know what quirky high energy fun-loving free spirits they are, so this totally makes sense!<\/p>\n

A few factors help mold the project, the most important one being that<\/p>\n

\"Army<\/a><\/p>\n

they are parents themselves, but then the pandemic hit and it was the perfect time to fill in all that free time they now had on their hands. To accompany the release of Good Kids<\/em> on November 4, will be a new web series of the same name offering four-minute episodes hosted by a different band member interviewing a \u201creal\u201d good kid, as well as comical vignettes of the band taking on the subject themselves from sports to going to school to starting a band. Way to go boys!<\/p>\n

Expect frivolity, over-the-top theatrics and just an awesome stage show when punk legends Gogol Bordello hit the stage at the Ventura Theater on Saturday, November 5; and then Canadian indie pop duo, Tegan and Sara (twin sisters) play the Majestic on Friday, November 11.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Meanwhile just a few miles away on Thompson Blvd, this is the Ventura Music Hall line up for the next two weeks:
\nSammy Johnson on Thursday, November 3
\nTai Verdes on Wednesday, November 9
\nThe Longest Johns with Shane Alexander opening on Thursday, November 10
\nBig Head Todd and the Monsters on Friday, November 11
\nThe Sinseers on Saturday, November 12
\nFlamingosis & Blockhead on Sunday, November 13
\nDave Alvin & Jimmie Dale Gilmore with the Guilty Ones on Tuesday, November 15<\/p>\n

\"anchor<\/a>I\u2019m looking forward to the new release from Anchor & Bear. You can see them perform \u201cNo More Nights on the Roof\u201d at Topa Topa Brewing, downtown Ventura on Friday, November 11, with Looking West opening the show. By the way, if you haven\u2019t been to this Topa Topa Brewing location in a while, you need to check it out. They cleared out the back room where they use to have their brewing equipment and now they have a spot for live bands, open mics and screenings. I\u2019m hoping this will become consistent listening room for artists to perform.<\/p>\n
