***Knock Knock is a celebrated Sacramento indie-pop/rock band known for their infectious, sunny 1970s-AM-radio-inspired sound, often described as a mix of folky acoustic rhythms, sharp surf-rock guitars (think Pixies), and danceable beats. Active for over twenty years, the group became a staple of the local Sacramento scene, often releasing new material every few years between weddings, child births, and divorces. Knock Knock is lead by “cool youth pastor” turned NPR donor Allen Maxwell (Vocals / Bass). Compromising this man’s vision are the married guitar duo Mike Cinciripino (Lead Guitar) and Heather Conway (Vocals / Rhythm Guitar). Every band needs a at least one actual musician. Knock Knock does better than one and provides two: Christine Shelly (Drums) and Dylan Barnes (Keys). Knock Knock's music is often marked by upbeat melodies that contrast with deeper, sometimes existential themes in their lyrics, described as "apocalyptic musings" that deal with personal, emotional crises. Night School / Night Shift is Knock Knock’s 4th long play record and is released by Sacramento Records. Recorded by Pat Hill’s (Bastards of Young; Earthtone Studios) and Ted Angel (Mr. T Experience). All tracks were mastered by the late and great Patrick Haight.
