BAEBLE CONCERTS: Japanese Motors at Berbati's

Surf's up Portland. Ready to wade on in to some sunny Southern Californian vibes? We thought you might...which is why we're debuting a new batch of productions filmed in Rose City with this blissful, election night performance from Costa Mesa's Japanese Motors. Beaming the Strokes' simple sort of, LES sweat and swagger three-thousand miles west, Alex Knost, Nolan Hall, Daniel Michicoff, and Andrew Atkinson trim tunes like "Single Fins and Safety Pins", "Better Trends", and "Crooked Gun" with tons of twang, slightly rockabilly rhythms, and lyrics that cover the beach culture basics. Surf, sun, chicks, and beer; the Motor's know what their brand of surf rock demands. All they ask from you is that you enjoy the show. Cowabunga. - David Pitz
