"Pure Drivel" will be released digitally and on limited-edition vinyl formats in four color variations – 100 x "Dave Ed's Hair" (pink in clear; a Tankcrimes exclusive), 100 x black, 100 x half coke bottle (a Pirates Press exclusive) and 700 x coke bottle – on February 8, 2019.

KICKER was forged in 2010 one rainy night at 924 Gilman. They took refuge in the brewery bar across the street. Guitarist Mauz (Dystopia), had a room full of musical equipment and an idea for a band. Bassist Dave Edwardson(Neurosis) was looking for a new project. Pete the Roadie - who for over thirty years has roadied for the likes of Subhumans, Amebix, Jello Biafra, Neurosis, and everyone in between - swore he would never cross over to the dark side. Somehow though, he was convinced. They were all looking for something more than everyday life can provide; aging Bay Area/UK punks adapting to new pressures of modern life resilient enough to let go of the (dis)comfort of the past but bored as fuck with the present. The union would see them through three West Coast tours (including one in 2016 with the Subhumans), one European/UK tour in 2013, one East Coast/Canadian tour in 2014 .and three shows in Cuba in 2017. Nine years and three records in, KICKER is still restless as ever! Pure Drivel features new drummer Dave Mello (Operation Ivy) and will see release via Tankcrimes this February.

KICKER:
Pete the Roadie - vocals
Dave Ed - bass
Mauz - guitar, keys, samples
Dave Mello - drums

The album will be released on February 8, 2019 via code666.

“Chris Cornell was not only one of the most iconic singer songwriters of all time, he was a modern innovator who left a legacy that transcends music genres and generations,” Cesar Gueikian, Chief Merchant Officer, GIBSON, said. “It is our honor to release this tribute ES-335 in his memory. It’s a guitar Chris fell in love with and which became a part of his creative expression. Chris was a special artist and we hope that this guitar will inspire fans to find their sound, and inspiration, just like Chris did, for many years to come.”

GIBSON partnered with Cornell to work on his original ES-335 Artist Model and it was immediately clear that he had an innovative eye for guitar design. 

Features like the aged Lollartron humbucking pickups, clear “no number” Top Hat knobs, Olive Drab Satin finish and Mother-of-Pearl Chris Cornell ‘signature’ peghead inlay make this guitar one of GIBSON’s most distinct artist offerings to date. 

Available in a limited release of only 250 pieces available for purchase worldwide in Spring 2019.

Jimmy Kimmel will be on hand to host the concert. 

Tickets will benefit The Chris and Vicky Cornell Foundation, and The Epidermolysis Bullosa Medical Research Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to raising funds and awareness for this painful and debilitating genetic disorder. 

GIBSON will donate two of the limited-edition Chris Cornell ES-335 models in partnership with the show to raise additional monies for both foundations.

The New Feature from Maria Capp Begins Production This Week

Maria Capp makes her feature directorial debut with the film, having just co-written and produced award-winning film Reach in 2018.

Polo is “Angela D'Agosti” who helps gather her family together at the most wonderful time of the year for one of the saddest occasions – her mother’s funeral. 

After years of being apart, some of the family’s young cousins (Raffaela Capp, Reach; Ayla Kell; Natasha Capp, Reach; and Lily Gibsen, “Boy Meet’s World”) are assigned the seemingly simple task of singing at their grandmother's funeral. 

But only through family drama, tears, a little pizza and wine, will all of the women rediscover themselves, each other, their love of family, music and Christmas traditions.

Jayson Bernard (Halloweed), Michael Lenoci (Running Lines with Lenoci), Jared Sandler (Father of the Year) and Lance Paul (A Kiss on Candy Cane Lane) round out the cast.

“This story is inspired by my own very large, loving Italian family and the recent passing of my beloved grandma,” Raffaela Capp, who also co-wrote, said.

Filmmaker Maria Capp said, “It’s an honor to bring this story about women to the big screen but even more so to be doing it with a cast and crew made up 80% women.”

Director Maria Capp co-wrote "Pizza & Whine" with first-time screenwriters Raffaela Capp and Elliott Estrada. 

The screenplay is loosely based on and inspired by the play, "Pizza and Whine" written by the Capps with Veronica Kelly, which workshopped at the New York Theatre Festival's Winterfest and The Hollywood Fringe Festival in 2018.

Maria Capp is also a Producer with Jayson Bernard, Roberto Rosario, Jr. and Kristi Kilday. 

Steve Capp is the Executive Producer. Casting is by Dea Vise.
