Note: Sound Fix shows tend to be on the short side. Citay also play at the Cake Shop on Fri Mar 21 (8pm) and at the Market Hotel on Sat Mar 22 (9:30pm).
Part pastoral collage, part AOR pastiche, Citay recall a simpler — err, more complex — time for rock 'n roll. The San Francisco collective's latest album, Little Kingdom, owes a great deal to the surname-only heroes of yore, fleshing out CSNY-style harmonies with thick analog synth arrangements reminiscent of Emerson, Lake, and Palmer. Yet, bandleader Ezra Feinberg steers his unit clear of instrumental excess, instead infusing subdued folk with the sense of triumph that is often absent in indie rock. This evening, forget about adult responsibilities and nudge your neighbor with a gleam in your eye like you're 14 and just caught a whiff of burning oregano.
