Courtesy photo<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When live music finally opened up for post-pandemic, full capacity glory at venues in and around Sacramento, perhaps one of the greatest success stories was happening just outside the Downtown grid: Under the guidance of musician\/soundman\/bartender\/booking agent Chris Lemos, the Cafe Colonial came back strong with a steady stream of metal, punk, alternative and everything in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Local group Esther Black, a metal-tinged industrial trio who\u2019ve been causing a nice buzz, will add to that comeback this Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The band is led by vocalist Erie Loch, whose resume includes studio work and video production for such disparate national acts as Ministry, Faith No More, Melvins, Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, KMFDM, Prong, Lords of Acid, Front Line Assembly, and Rob Zombie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The formidable group is rounded-out by bassist and vocalist Crash and guitarist and vocalist The Goht. They\u2019re currently signed to Pittsburgh-based indie label, Distortion Productions, which released their \u201cDark Ways\u201d full-length album back in April 2018. Sacramento music fans can check out those songs at Esther Black\u2019s Bandcamp page at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/estherblack.bandcamp.com\/\">https:\/\/estherblack.bandcamp.com<\/a>&nbsp;for a listen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The group\u2019s new platter, \u201cAmongst the Monsters, Whores and Freaks,\u201d is scheduled for a tentative July 17th release. Erie Loch boasts that \u201cit\u2019s a dark concept album comparing the entertainment industry to the circus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The band\u2019s upcoming performance also includes Malcom Bliss and Ghosts Of Callisto on the bill. Tickets can be purchased at the door only for $15. Cafe Colonial is located at 3520 Stockton Blvd. All ages are welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(SN&amp;R)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Esther Black.
