Composed of the multi-instrumentalist Peter Hurley, vocalist and bassist Katiana Mashikian, drummer Katie Dilly and guitarist David Diaz, April Magazine issued records in 2021 and is set to open for Dean Wareham at the Chapel on Friday night.
Composed of the multi-instrumentalist Peter Hurley, vocalist and bassist Katiana Mashikian, drummer Katie Dilly and guitarist David Diaz, April Magazine issued two full-length records in 2021.
These sonic snippets are amorphous and ever-changing, reflecting the nature of the band. Currently a quartet, April Magazine boasts a lengthy roster of rotating cast members reminiscent of an editorial staff, making the band name more than just a cool moniker. “He’s one of my idols,” Hurley said of Wareham, founding member of the legendary slowcore group Galaxie 500. “We definitely consider Galaxie 500 to be the proto-April Magazine.”
The bedroom recording quality is a defining trademark of the April Magazine sound, which fuses the craggy garage rock musings of bands like the Brian Jonestown Massacre with the druggy, downtempo atmosphere of no-wave pioneers Suicide and psych rockers Spaceman 3. April Magazine is one of numerous local bands chasing that lo-fi aesthetic, many of which can be found on Paisley Shirt Records, a San Francisco tape label that features contemporaries such as Cindy, Flowertown and Sad-Eyed Beatniks. Those same bands often showcase their wares at the Hit Gallery, a Mission District art studio founded by Hurley which serves as an occasional live music and practice space for that community.
