If you picked up The Press-Enterprise today, June 14, you might have seen my interview with Ryan Burian from the band Béisbol.
He and his brother Jeff grew up in Hemet, where Ryan went to Hemet High, Jeff was at West Valley, Hemet and San Jacinto.
Béisbol has two shows in the area this weekend–at The Dial in Murrieta on Saturday and at Alaythia Music in Hemet on Sunday. One of the guys playing with them in their live band is Bryan Stone, who was a member of beloved Hemet band A Billion Ernies.
Béisbol is about to release debut album “Lo-Fi Cocaine” on June 25th. I’ve heard the record and it’s hooks are certainly addictive. There’s a wide range of influences on the record, from what the brothers Burian dub “Whitney Houston bass lines” to some Steely Dan and classic rock overtones as well.
I talked with about Béisbol “Lo-Fi Cocaine” in the column this week, too.
Check out their song “That Feeling,” which is available as a free download.
