Achilles Wheel
WHERE: Corner of Park Place and Washington Ave in Pt. Richmond
WHO:
5:30p – 6:30p Achilles Wheel – Music: High-Energy Roots, World & Rock & Roll
- “Their sound comes across as both Old School and New School and is riddled with great songwriting. The one thing that rises to the surface as you get to know this band is that supporting the benefit of our human condition is foremost in their work. They play hard as a way to break down walls and celebrate life. The idealism that they embraced as younger men has not diminished in the harsh light of the modern world as we struggle to live freely and have a good time, and in the end, hopefully matter. Achilles Wheel fearlessly sings out to these times.” Achilles Wheel website
