Purple Melon at The Kibitz Room - July 10 2009

PURPLE MELON rocks the stage for a special BIRTHDAY SHOW for band member JASON GANBERG at THE KIBITZ ROOM. Originally hailing from London this incredible rock quartet has truly embraced the season of "Charge" as they have Since 2005 changed their guitarist three times, their drummer twice and decided against keeping their keyboard player. But it has all been for the better as the band has coalesced into perfect lineup with Tom Hill (lead vocals and guitar), Eric Joyce (bass), Owen Barry (guitar) and Jason Ganberg (drums). The band sound is a delightful throwback to classic rock and the hippie loving era while still maintaining a fresh edge on the modern music scene. The band has also embraced the documentary movement by recording the bands musical journey since 2006 with snippets of the footage available on Vuze, Myspace and You Tube. In 2007 the band relocated to London where they became fan favorites at The Troubadour Club which was a perfect venue with it's Bohemian, laid-back, classy cool style and also gigged by an impressive legacy of music giants including Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin and Bob Dylan to name a few. Purple Melon has now relocated to LA with their latest EP "Melon Music" and is set to take the LA scene by storm playing gigs throughout the year. You can check them out online at www.myspace.com/purplemelonspace. The show starts at 10:30 and is FREE. Adjacent to the famous Canter's Deli's dining space, the Kibitz Room, a particularly congenial haven for music and matzo on Fairfax, features a full bar and a narrow stage filled every evening with jamming local bands. The Kibitz Room is located at 419 N. Fairfax Blvd. in Los Angeles and online at www.cantersdeli.com/kibitzroom.
