We here at Kata Rokkar and Snob Theater are honored and privileged to be involved in the prestigious comedy festival, the one and only San Francisco Sketchfest. The line-up for this Snob Theater is beyond ridiculous; Chris Fairbanks (Fuel.tv, The Daily Habit), Sheng Wang (Comedy Central Presents, Comedians of Comedy), and Coree Spencer (Bridgetown Comedy Fest, Comedian on Comedian). In addition we are lucky to be featuring local indie pop heroes and all-around amazing supergroup Still Flyin’ to bring the tunes to this epic event.

Some of you may have heard 2010′s touching and true classic rock revivalist album La La Land from the brilliant Montreal act Plants and Animals. For those of you that haven’t, it’s about time you hop on the band-wagon. In addition to their fantastic live shows, the band has this uncanny ability to craft songs that roar and rock while still emoting the feelings of joy, loneliness, and personal freedom. The End of That, which comes out February 28, 2012 comes the closest to bridging the gap between the disorder, rock adventure, primal infusion and gushing sing-alongs of their live shows. With the new track Lightshow, both raggedly brutal and delicately pensive, the song is only a taste of what will be an album painted gorgeously by this cerebral and euphonic band.

Full of mature, breezy coffehouse tunes interwoven with mellow instrumental passages, Prologue shows The Milk Carton Kids to be a terrific folk and blues duo, a basic pair of witty storytellers, and–in the murky visions of these talented two, the album never feels the least bit cluttered. Whether in a tantalizing upper harmonies that recalls CSNY or their sandy-throated midrange, there’s not a weak moment on this dark-horse gem of an album. Which by the way is free via their website.

You are cordially invited to a very special evening with Snob Theater. This night of humor and brilliant music will be accompanied by the quirky comedy of Jesse Elias, the classiness of Mary Van Note, the clever quips of Alex Koll, and Brooklyn’s own fantastic funny-man, Rob Cantrell (HBO, Comedy Central, NBC, CBS).
