Quick Hit Band Interviews: Burger-A-Go-Go Tour bands

Summer Twins
Interview with Summer Twins (via Chelsea):

How would you describe your sound? '50s/'60s inspired rock 'n roll.

What’s your favorite gig/set/tour story or memory? We played a house show in Fullerton once and it was insane! People were moshing in the living room while we played and someone jumped off the roof into the pool. It was like a classic party scene out of a movie.

Patsy's Rats
Interview with Patsy's Rats (via Christian):

How would you describe your sound? I’d describe our sound as scruffy power pop. We love pop hooks and big guitar leads, but we’re not trained musicians so everything is coming from a punk / DIY perspective. And that’s how we like it.

I believe it was mentioned that the band has moved from Portland to Los Angeles. What drove the decision to move to Los Angeles? We started the band in Portland, where Patsy and I met. We still have love for the city and return often, but have relocated to LA as of the end of 2017. We were both due for a change personally, and the musical landscape in LA right now feels like a good fit for us to keep working on the band without playing the same clubs to death in a small city like Portland. Also, sunshine.

Dengue Fever
Interview with Dengue Fever (from Music Tastes Good via Zac Holtzman):

How would you describe your sound? I usually leave it to others to describe our music. We have a Cambodian singer and we play and pull from all the sounds that have ever been made and are yet to be made. We appreciate vintage gear but by no means limit ourselves by not using toys we find at the thrift store.

What are some of your favorite spots, locations, areas in your adopted hometown of Long Beach? What make them your favorites? I've got some good memories of eating, dancing, and playing music at Sophie's. Also bringing in the New Year at Alex's Bar was a lot of fun.
