When Dean Haakenson of local indie/folk/rock outfit Be Brave Bold Robot hit us up to inform us that they had made an “eclectic, weird new album” called Press E to Continue (the name devised by the top donor on the album’s Kickstarter campaign) and that it has a “couple rap tracks” on it, we couldn’t help but be intrigued. So we downloaded, pressed play to continue and freaking loved it! From the opening track, a folk-y ode to their hometown appropriately titled “Sacramento,” to the actually impressive hip-hop collaboration with local rapper Mr. Hooper “Grown Ass Man,” to the eight-minute-plus closer about being young and doing mushrooms called “Sonerda.” With Press E… BBBR has got us again, hook, line and sinker. BBBR is celebrating the release of the new album with a big show at Fox and Goose on Friday, Jan. 23, 2015. The show will feature an early singer/songwriter set, then go into a premier of the “Recipe” music video by Matt Brown, then into the sure-to-be-diverse BBBR set, leading up to a closing set from local psychedelic rock band CFR. Cover is just $5, 21-and-over only. Hit up Facebook.com/bebraveboldrobot to keep up with the group’s shenanigans.
