Street Urchinz Album Release Show at Ace of Spades

Local reggae/rock group Street Urchinz is celebrating the release of its debut album Dissolve on Friday, June 22, 2012 at Ace of Spades alongside Arden Park Roots, The Holdup, Simple Creation and Element of Soul. “We started two years ago,” says Doug Riggs, rhythm guitar, keys and backup vocals for Street Urchinz. “It was just the lead singer and I playing acoustically under the bridge in Old Sacramento. This is our first album, and we have come a long way since then.” Longtime drummer of Sacramento post-hardcore band Dance Gavin Dance, Matt Mingus, recently joined forces with the Urchinz. The group is rounded out by vocalist and lead guitarist Tommy Norman and bassist Trevor Ingram. If you can’t catch Street Urchinz on June 22, they’ve got quite a few other shows coming up in the area: Concerts in the Park in downtown Sacramento on July 6, 2012, G Street WunderBar in Davis on July 7, 2012, and Powerhouse Pub in Folsom on Aug. 18.
