13TH Hour will always be about the music...and the fun. But mostly the music. The audience is important too. Yeah, I'd say the audience is important. So we are all about the audience...and the fun. No, the music, then the fun...and if there's time, we'll enjoy a martini.
Seriously though, we are almost never serious. Are goal is to have as much fun as humanly (and humanely) possible on stage. And that will always spill out into our audiences.
Our performances are geered towards the spontaneous spirit of great performers like the old Rat Pack Vegas shows, early Van Halen (DLR ver. 1), etc. And we take requests.
I'll introduce the guys:
Guitar: Ante Bullum is the firey spirit of 13th Hour. He will make your ears bleed and your skin burn, and visa-versa.
Bass: Tomo Bullum is the passionate pulsating rhythm that will take your breath away. He is brings the party to the stage.
Drums: Brad Sachs is the foundation, the security, and the heartbeat of the band. He's pretty darn exciting to watch too. Xto Cairns is also our drummer. He beats the drums like they owe him money! His style is best described with the word: Passion!
Vocals, harmonica, congas: I am Gabriel Negrete and my job is easy with the incredible talent that surrounds me.
Our guys have played some private gigs, some impromptu sets at the Doheney Salloon, The Blue Cafe in Long Beach, Original Mikes in Santa Ana, The Coach House in San Juan Capistrano, and The House of Blues in San Diego.
Robin Trower, Santana, Jimi Hendrix, James Brown, U2, and the guy who wrote, "By....Menen!"
We have enjoyed playing in front of a lot of people recently at the Galaxy, Coach House some private parties and next month, we will be turning the House of Blues on it's ear! I can't wait!!!
