Lastly, there’s a cool little surprise over at Mango’s tonight, in the form of Quiet Morning & the Calamity, who play rootsy pop that drags in alt-country, folk, indie-rock, and even garage-rock influences (love that organ sound) to make something that’s countryish at points but not yet another indie-folk band. And hey, they’re also really damn good, as is Frants, a quasi-supergroup that brings together members of The Western Civilization, listenlisten, & Hollywood Black; I haven’t heard the newest incarnation of the band, but I’ve liked what I’ve heard previously, and frontwoman Gretchen Schmaltz is one hell of a singer and guitarist. - Space City Rock

Bio
Quiet Morning & the Calamity began as the singer-songwriter project ("Quiet Morning" at that time) of Sean Ramos until he assembled Quiet Morning & the Calamity, a god-honest homage to Alternative Country groups of the 90's and early 2000's (Uncle Tupelo, Drive By Truckers, Whiskeytown, Lucero, etc.), comprised of ex-punk rock musicians (Jimi Cavazos, Nate Cavazos, Josh Artall and Hillary Harris) and created what the band is now and where it was meant to be all along.
