We’re taking some time off from our residency at Harvelle’s. Tonight, our last night, we’re playing with Jelly Woo and Jeremiah Red starting at 9pm. We’re handing the residency off to C-GAK (Chris Tsagakis of RX Bandits) so we know Monday nights at Harvelle’s will still be awesome! We love the place and plan to return eventually. In the next 2 months, however, we want to record a new EP, make some videos, and transform our music! We’ll keep you posted so check back in a couple weeks! We’ll have a new website and some new content!
…Much love for the musicians that joined us on stage and for those that discovered us in a basement beneath the Congregation. MUSIC!
We really believe Harvelle’s is something special. It looks great, sounds great, and attracts great artists such as Sheila E., Vintage Trouble, Shorty, and the ongoing Toledo Show. Did I mention the Vespertines play there every Monday night!? Those other artists are great but if you’re looking for a local Long Beach line-up, of high quality musicianship, Harvelle’s on Monday nights is the place to be.

A big THANK YOU to all of our contributors. We didn’t reach our goal but you saved us from having to cut back days in the studio! We just finished recording all the instruments/vocals and the next step is mixing it all together for mastering. We’re all really excited about this album. It sounds amazing already even with the rough mix.
We’ll be releasing more content in the coming weeks to help create some hype for this album release. Expect music videos, photos, and a new song we wrote which will be released as a live video ONLY.
Stay tuned.
The Vespertines are making an album but we need your help!
We recently signed up with IndieGoGo which is a social collaboration tool used to fund independent artistic projects. Check out our page for promotional offers that directly fund our album recording. We have been working hard refining these songs through live performance. We’ve also written 3 new songs never before heard at our live performances!
This full length album will be recorded at the end of July and will be mastered/duplicated —ready for release— in early August.
This won’t be possible without your contribution! Thank you very much for your support.
Our music will grow with you!
shhhhh, we’re recording
We will be hosting an event to raise funds for our west coast tour. You can pay at the door or buy tickets from your local vespertine for $10. This $10 admission includes free tacos from the taco truck! Cheap drinks will be served.
We’d like to thank Chris Walker’s family for hosting this event at their home.
Sunday, March 13th. 1pm to 5pm
Peyote Players will funkify us at 2pm followed by the Vespertines at 3pm.
