Beloved Beserkley Cats FAVES have a new single and it is burning up the indie rock radio charts right now as I type! We’re so thrilled about this, and here in all its full-dimensional stereo glory, is Here Comes The Rain. Penned by Larry Lynch and Robbie Dunbar of Earth Quake and Greg Kihn Band fame. Joined by the greats Jimmy Jet Spalding, Jonathan Bassil and David Tashinian on guitar, bass, and keys, respectively, this new original was recorded (and FILMED!) at 25th St. Recording in Oakland, with Gabriel Shepard at the dials. Give ‘er a spin right here!

Here’s the VIDEO!

THANKS to Radio Indie Alliance and the deejays and radio shows out there playing this banger, and a HUGE tip o’ the Berkeley Cat hat to Dennis Chuning for his inspired and dedicated promotion work.

AMAZING!  You can also find Here Comes The Rain on your favorite streaming service and we’d love it if you add it your your playlist and share it up. You’ll find links to Apple, Pandora and Spotify here, and it’s also in Amazon, TIDAL, and basically most of them by now. Why? Because yes.

Congrats FAVES and go cats go!!

 

BCR is hyper-thrilled to share this hyper-link to hyper-stream FAVES’ beautiful new single, Never Ending.  Beaming more warmth and light into the Interworld, with a rock and roll message of eternal love.  Because that’s how we do, round these parts!  Enjoy, share at will, and you can read more about this fab track and the fine fellas who created it, right here.

We are so thrilled to share this new original from FAVES! Here’s a Bandcamp embed (yay!) and a cool band video (wow!) and sooooon it will also be available in the streaming services tooo! I’m proud to release this on Berkeley Cat Records as these are some of my longtime most favoritest Berkeley cats. The song is a big-rock, big-pop, big-love anthem penned by Larry Lynch and Robbie Dunbar.

In Larry’s own words:

“Robbie and I started writing this song a while ago, and now with everything happening in the world it just seemed like this was a good time to release a song with an uplifting feel to it. We’re really happy with the way it turned out and we hope the message will connect with a lot of people.”

For our first release of the new year, we are very excited to share Remember by FAVES, in the streaming audio wilds. This song was written by Greg Kihn and recorded by the Greg Kihn Band in 1978, becoming an early hit for the group that would later hit the top ten with The Breakup Song and Jeopardy. Greg Kihn Band drummer Larry Lynch plays and sings lead on this brand new single, which revisits the song with a rocking tight pop arrangement. Featured on guitar is Robbie Dunbar, also a veteran of GKB and East Bay rock legends, Earth Quake. Jimmy Jet Spalding on bass and David Tashinian on keys complete this Bay Area rock n’ roll dream team.

I’ve been a fan of these guys my whole life, having grown up in Berkeley, where Greg Kihn Band would play the Keystones regularly and some of the other clubs the Uptones would later come in and play. Robbie’s a guitar hero of mine and a big influence on me. It’s a unique honor to release this new recording now on Berkeley Cat Records. Recorded (and filmed!) at 25th Street Recording in Oakland, we are so proud to present, Remember, by FAVES. You can listen on:

Spotify

Pandora

Apple Music

You can also find this at Deezer, Tidal, Napster, iHeartRadio (wow, so many!) Please feel free to share any ol’ which way ya like. And catch FAVES live in concert sometime in the post-COVID near future, we hope! Meanwhile, you can enjoy watching the band playing this track, as it went down, in this live-in-studio video.

Thank you, and Happy New Year!!
