East Bay Soup Kitchen and The Hyperdrive Kittens at Up The Creek Records

East Bay Soup Kitchen is a rock band from Concord Ca. The Kitchen delivers a high energy show serving a menu of tunes for all tastes (originals and covers). Cultivating that early 90s punk/ funk sound of the Berkeley Square (i.e. Fungo Mungo, Limbomaniacs, Psychofunkapus, Primus) these cooks are giving back to a new generation of concert goers. Clinton Burnett (lead vocals, guitar and trumpet) started this band back in the late 90s as part of a school project. The Soup Kitchen was part of Steve Sage’s Guitar Ensemble class at DVC. Like most Kitchens many cooks have come and gone. After a 15 year hiatus (families, work etc.)they reformed in 2014, changed their name to East Bay Soup Kitchen are serving tasty tunes for the alternate minded.

Current lineup consists of Clinton Burnett (vocals, guitar, trumpet), Scott Cereghino (drums), Eric Matsuno (bass), Bo Rai Cho (lead guitar), Chris ‘Chef’ Curry (sax) and T’Maro LC (vocals). More than just a band, EBSK (East Bay Soup Kitchen) puts on dinner and a show. What? Yes! We serve soup to the masses then rock them out in our uniforms. Fun and entertaining band that has menus for all occasions. A utility band that has hours of originals and covers that will make you bounce and dance all night.

East Bay Soup Kitchen is currently recording new and revamped songs to be released in 2024. Our first album self-titled East Bay Soup Kitchen can be found on Spotify, Band camp and YouTube. We hope to hear from you soon.
