Debut gig for Abracadabra, the 80s influenced synth pop combo featuring members of Maus Haus and Cassiopeia.

"Hectorine , known off-stage as Sarah Gagnon, takes influences from some of her favorite music — the aforementioned and other '60s and '70s folk and rock — and uses that inspiration, in part, to create her music. This January she released her first album, the self-produced, self-titled, Hectorine. The album opens with “Motel Song,” a track reminiscent of Nico’s “These Days” — a delightful guitar-picking melody juxtaposed with a low-voiced, melancholy, yet hopeful narrator. It’s a strong start to the otherwise dreamy, haunting feel of the album, where each track preceding the opener is unique: a flute here, a harpsichord there; the keys and harmonies and storytelling all blending to create a refreshing folk-rock collection.” - The Bay Bridged

"Oakland’s Gorgeous!! released Gorgeous this fall and we just want to give an extra shout out to the band. They’ve got a funny B-52’s vibe but with a poppier, modern clever feel we dig on hard. Where are the shows, girls? We are ready, Freddy." -Lucille Faulkner (The Deli Magazine)
