It may be a new band on the block, but the Sidewalk Scene represents a veritable Murderer’s Row of San Diego musical talent. (Don’t miss your chance to see the band open for the Unknowns along with the Comeuppance on Sept. 3 at the Casbah — Day Two of a Labor Day weekend blowout that also features an evening comprising the Crawdaddys, the Amandas and the Baja Bugs.)
Buy your tickets now for the Crawdaddys and the Unknowns at San Diego’s Casbah, Sept. 2-3!
This video clip (accompanied by photos shot by Unknowns bassist Dave Doyle) portrays the Sidewalk Scene tearing into Paul Simon’s “Richard Cory” at Lestat’s July 30, when they headlined “Che Underground present Sounds of the Sunset Strip.” A great band with hundreds of years of San Diego history among them, delivering with the passion we’ve come to expect from these consummate musicians!
The Sidewalk Scene comprises Eric Bacher (guitar); Ray Brandes (vocals, guitar); Victor Peñalosa (drums); Joe Piper (guitar, vocals); and Mark Zadarnowski (bass guitar). The video and audio were captured and synced by Dave Fleminger.
Editor’s note: Don’t forget! In their first San Diego appearances in 30 years, the Crawdaddys and Unknowns will appear at the Casbah, September 2-3, supported by an all-star cast of veteran San Diego talent. Tickets are available now from the Casbah site!
