BATS
AND BIRDS
The drive from San Francisco to Portland is more than 600 miles, and the
inspiration to keep moving can range from energy drinks to mix CDs, but for Eric D.
Johnson, frontman for the indie rockers Fruit Bats, the inspiration is Eugene’s
Fisherman’s Market. “That is one of my favorite places ever,” he says. “I often find
myself doing these really long, crazy, balls-out San Francisco-to-Portland drives all
the time. That’s like my treat to myself on the home stretch. I find myself often
truckin’ up the [I]5 just thinking about an awesome, delicious fish sandwich.”
Fruit Bats have been producing music for over a decade and their sound recalls the
falsetto vocals of Neil Young mixed with the subtle rock of alternative country. Their
last release, 2011’s Tripper, was replete with thumping acoustic jams and would play
perfectly alongside The Shins or Dr. Dog. The Fruit Bats were last in town in 2011 when
they played at WOW Hall. “Our last show in Eugene was like our favorite show we’ve
ever done,” he says. “We have a lot to live up to.”
The Fruit Bats will share the stage with Yellowbirds, a Brooklyn group that finds
the sweet spot between pop and psychedelic garage rock. Johnson has known
Yellowbirds singer Sam Cohen since the early days of Fruit Bats. “We’re kindred spirits,
I think, in a lot of ways,” Johnson says. “If anybody is a fan of Fruit Bats, they’re
probably going to like Yellowbirds.”
Fruit Bats play with Yellowbirds 9 pm Thursday, Aug. 1, at Sam Bond’s; $10.
