Sat, Aug 20, Prieta

A magical rock wizard of epic proportions grants your band three musical assets from rock ’n’ roll history. Your protagonists for this journey: the guys of Prieta, given pipes comparable to Chris Cornell, the feel-good vibes of Creedence Clearwater Revival and a drummer who jams with the authority of the Stooges’ Scott Asheton. Getting back to reality, who knows how a couple of guys from Stockton and Sacramento managed to capture the classic-rock sounds of the past, but members of Prieta have successfully balanced paying homage to the greats, while staying true to themselves as musicians. Catch these locals at an all-ages show. 1050 20th Street, www.myspace.com/prietaslays.
