There is a speak-easy in Atlantis where Queentide plays live every night. It’s a place where salty sea wenches and the village witch amass to swing their hips to the greatest porch rock band that ever arose from the Pacific Coast. Once the matrons of Santa Barbara’s music scene, the group has splintered apart this year with half the group in Santa Cruz, and bassist / vocalist Emma Vogan moving to San Francisco next year. They finished off the year with this buttery single, Flake, that leaves us salivating for the future of the band. While the distance may seem daunting, remember the old adage- Absence makes the band grow stronger.
