Evening’s Empire
Evening’s Empire is an alternative rock band fronted by Rock ’n’ Roll San Diego honcho Shannon Woods, aka Shannon Sabin of the reformed Dinettes, alongside guitarist Sam Strohbehn and bassist David Skolnik. They released their first single “Movies” last May, in advance of their July album
Alive For Us. Another single appeared near the end of the year, “Lay Low,” with all proceeds donated to KIND (Kids In Need of Defense), an organization devoted exclusively to helping and representing children of immigrants and refugees. “Living in a border city, the stark differences of life here vs across the wall are glaringly present,” says the band. “We believe that how we treat those most in need reflects who we are, what we stand for, and the America we strive to be. Every day, we see people making choices to save themselves and their families from life-threatening situations, poverty, and oppression. We do not support the government’s inhumane treatment of these families.” The group recently performed an acoustic set for Palapalooza online, featuring two original songs planned for their upcoming album, “She Can Save” and “Tonight.” The latter song can be heard in the new film
