Cold Eskimo

As of last week Sophia’s Thai Kitchen in Davis is back at it again, hosting intimate live shows on their sweet little front porch. In the past I’ve seen some really amazing regional and touring indie and folk acts play on the tiny deck, out in the open air, under the stars on warm spring and summer nights. Their April lineup is looking pretty good, with the Bay Area’s Tumbleweed Wanderers (who have a new EP Worn Down Welcome out later in the month) playing on April 5 with openers The Matinee from Vancouver, British Columbia. Then on April 6, San Francisco band Social Studies, on Antenna Farm Records, will headline with local openers Cold Eskimo. April 12 will see Foxtails Brigade perform, also from San Francisco and also on Antenna Farm Records, along with openers Swansea, a trio from Portland, Ore. Roots/jazz collective The Dustbowl Revival from Venice, Calif., will play Sophia’s on April 13 with Davis’ The West Nile Ramblers opening the show. The calendar doesn’t stop there, so check out http://sophiasthaikitchen.com/ for more shows. Most concerts start at 9:30 p.m. and range from about $5 to $7, with those 21-and-over being welcome. Do yourself a favor and check out a show at Sophia’s this year, even if you’ve never heard of any of the bands playing, as they only bring top-notch talent through.
