Pardon The Interruption at HopMonk Sebastopol

New Wave/Prog-Pop troubadours Pardon The Interruption (PTI) are thrilled to return to the stage at Hopmonk Sebastopol on Sunday September 7.

Opening the night is teen sensation Gas Money who have been taking Sonoma County by storm with their high-energy performances powerhouse vocals and charismatic stage presence.

Roaring out of the fog-shrouded hills of Sonoma and drowning out the chatter New Wave/Prog-Pop troubadours Pardon the Interruption (aka PTI) are taking their place and asserting their voice in the storied musical conversation of the San Francisco Bay Area.  

One foot is planted firmly in the past paying homage to some of the most singular and iconic artists of the '70s '80s and '90s. The other is stepping boldly forward producing original material that is nostalgically familiar and entirely modern and unique. It's undeniably fun and will make you dance. 

Band leader lead singer and guitarist David Noble (Wreckless Strangers Poor Man's Whiskey Nina Hagen) has assembled three of the finest most versatile session musicians in Northern California and fostered a cohesion that transcends music including force of nature bassist Rob Fordyce (Peer Pressure The Ring Big Brother and the Holding Company) in-demand Americana drummer Rob Hooper (Jimmy Dale Gilmore The Resentments Carolyn Wonderland) and saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist Jamison Smeltz (D8FeX mRthKon Ten Ton Chicken). 

With each show PTI demands the attention of fans of funk pop ska jam prog and plain old rock ‘n’ roll. The New Wave stylings of Pardon The Interruption are infectious and stand apart from the typical NorCal sound. Take a bite and you’ll see these guys mean business!
