For a while now, Westy of Big Western Flavor, formerly of Pepper Lane, has been talking about his new project, The Bell Riots. 

Named after the tragic labor and food rationing dispute in San Francisco in 2024, the new band will be telling complete stories through their songs, mixing a variety of styles in what is sure to be one of the most unique acts you're likely to see this year.

I'm excited to announce their debut performance will be worth World Racketeering Squad on Thursday, September 9 at Club 1808!

Also playing that night will be the fabulous Cocker Spaniels, alter ego of Sean Padilla, playing his soulful and honest pop with boundless enthusiasm on stage.

We'll see you there!
