Southwest rock at Saint Rocke
Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers call themselves musical beacons of the Southwest. Over the last fifteen years, the Arizona-based quartet has delivered vivid lyrics, addictive guitar riffs, and a full-bodied rhythm section on more than a dozen studio and live albums. The band’s annual music festival in Rocky Point, Mexico, known as Circus Mexicus, is a testament to their growing fan base. What began as a rooftop show thrown together with extension cords and wooden pallets has blossomed into a pilgrimage that draws thousands of “Peacemakers” to the beach town every June. “The Independent” marks the group’s newest release and seventh studio effort. RCPM play Saint Rocke on Thursday night at 8 p.m. Doors open at 6 p.m. Tickets start at $15 and can be purchased at saintrocke.com. Saint Rocke, 142 Pacific Coast Highway in Hermosa Beach.
