The Arcadists

About the Artist

The Arcadists Cocktail: Take 2 parts Radiohead, add 1 part Foo and a dash of Weezer and Big Head Todd. Garnish with Sublime. Shake vigorously and drink it up! Band Bio The Arcadists formed in June 2007 through a craigslist ad that included a posting by guitarist Rob Simmons (Burlacticus Undertow, Stellavision) and response from veteran solo SF singer/songwriter Erik Alan. After a few jam sessions with drummer Matt Kurvin (Burlacticus Undertow, Sarah Jane), and bassist Jon Luini (Sarah Jane, Stellavision, Mudkats, Deth Specula) the four quickly found common musical ground with similar influences in Rock, Ska, Rock-a-billy, and Surf Rock. As the Arcadists continue to evolve musically, they pull from their past experiences and deliver controlled energy to a stage show that you will not forget. Together less than a year, you can already experience the Arcadists at top notch venues all over the Bay and coming to a town near you! Listen...We are going to have a conversation E.P. With the fan base steadily growing in late 2007 through grassroots efforts, the group jumped into the studio to lay down their first batch of tunes. Jon enlisted the aid of an associate in the music world, esteemed Producer/Mixer John Cuniberti (Joe Satriani, Kevin Gilbert, Dead Kennedys) to mix their self-produced EP, "Listen... We Are Going to Have a Conversation". A full album's worth of originals is being fine-tuned for recording in the summer of 2008.
