THE SHREDS

and Devil's Train

 

“The Shreds are a powerful indie rock trio, consisting of band members Dylan Rodrigue, vocals and guitar; Blake Severn, vocals and bass; and Griffin Meyer, drums. Reverbnation.com states “Imagine a creative collision between the raw power and intensity of Nirvana, the beautiful melodic and lyrical sense of Elliott Smith, and the kick-ass guitar jams of Phish — all in the same song — and you have a sense of The Shreds.”

 

 

The Shreds debut album, “Stranger”, released in July 2009, was produced by five-time Academy Award nominated motion picture sound editor and engineer Michael Herbick. The Shreds have won both the 2009 John Lennon Educational Bus Battle of the Bands, where they recorded the song and video, “A Very Dark Green”, and the 2008 Sacramento News & Review Jammies competition. They were also nominated for a 2009 SN&R Sammies Award in the Outstanding Teen Band category. Many of the songs on their album, “Stranger” were recorded at David Houston Studios in Sacramento, a 25 hour recording project resulting from their win of the previous year’s Jammies.

Visit their Web site at www.theshreds.com where you can hear tracks from “Stranger,” see video and check out upcoming gigs.”

THE CALIFORNIA PRESERVATION FOUNDATION'S

THREE MINUTE SUCCESS STORIES

 

The Three-Minute Success Stories is an opportunity to present your very own preservation success story!
The Three-Minute Success Stories has been a California Preservation Foundation tradition stretching back to the 3rd Annual California Preservation Conference in 1978. While humor often comes to the fore, the program also gives preservationists a chance to present local successes to a statewide audience, sharing a wide variety of preservation experiences in lively and entertaining ways.
Three-Minute Success Stories have told of buildings restored after earthquakes, giant industrial cranes being relocated, enlightening adaptive reuse, modern architecture coming of age, community efforts overcoming all odds to save an important local landmark, and historic places saved from bulldozers at the last moment. Be adventurous!
