DS Show Review & Gallery: The Bomboras/Frankie and the Pool Boys/Electric Machine Gun Tits (Ivy Room, Albany, CA 6/28/23)

The Bomboras return to the Bay Area after 23 years and rock the East Bay Electric Machine Gun Tits opened the show. They are a two-piece punk and roll band based in the Bay Area since 2015 consisting of Naoko Nozawa on vocals and synth and Tora Fujimoto on guitar and vocals. Ridiculously entertaining, intensely funny, and Naoko finished the set by flinging ramen at the audience. San Francisco’s Frankie and the Pool Boys were up next. Much more mellow, straight-up instrumental surf rock, they have 3 CDs and 2 singles available on their bandcamp. The Bomboras formed in Los Angeles in 1994 achieving a bunch of success in the ’90s garage rock revival with their high-energy mix of garage rock and surf. They broke up at San Francisco’s Bottom of The Hill in 2000, it was 21 year...
