William Johnston's Extravagant Superband in San Jose | Metro Silicon Valley | Silicon Valley's Leading Weekly
"Every week for the past month or so has been bittersweet because every week San Jose grows one step closer to the closing of one of the area's best venues, Art Boutiki. However, as their final days draw near, the venue continues to host an array of unique local artists, and this week-three days before their doors shut forever-is no different."
"With a name like William Johnston's Extravagant Superband, one might not know what to expect. That's OK, because the band delivers a saucy mix of psych, funk, soul, rock and music from around the world inspired by Al Green to Afro-Cuban. Joining them is the weird and wonderful world of "monster garage pop" group, Douglas Von Irvin's Carnival. William Johnston's Extravagant Superband Sun, Dec 28, 7pm, $23 Art Boutiki, San Jose"
