Will the young, North County-bred trio almost monday achieve the longevity of such fellow San Diego-bred bands as Switchfoot and blink-182? Time will tell, but they are off to a promising start
The timing was less than optimal when the young San Diego indie-pop band almost monday released its promising debut EP, the all lower-case “don’t say you’re ordinary,” in October 2020.
The three first performed publicly at the Encinitas surf shop Univ, then branched out to larger area venues, including the Casbah, Music Box and House of Blues. Their debut single, the self-produced “Broken People,” came out in April 2019. “Sunburn” and “Sun Keeps On Shining” are both upbeat and lighthearted. As their titles imply, both have a warm, summer-y vibe that underscores the fact almost monday’s members hail from San Diego and grew up in North County.
With time to evolve as songwriters and more time on the road, almost monday has the potential to become one of San Diego’s most widely-known young bands of this young decade. In the meantime, the trio’s all-ages Music Box concert here should be a triumphant homecoming.Stick Men, with Travis Larson & 19 Fingers and Led Barchetta
In 1985 alone, he was featured on albums by former San Diegan Tom Waits, King Crimson, Carly Simon, Peter Gabriel, Yoko Ono, James Taylor, Bryan Ferry, Marshall Crenshaw and Dire Straits. Then again, this is the same Tony Levin who in 1975 pivoted from being in the Buddy Rich Big Band to playing on Paul Simon’s “Still Crazy After All These Years” album.
The group, which also features Germany’s Markus Reuter, draws its name from the instrument Levin primarily plays in Stick Men, the all-neck, body-less Chapman Stick.
