Although Identical Tentacles, Joan and the Rivers’ 2016 EP, has just three songs, it makes a strong case for the band as one of San Jose’s most inspired group of weirdo rockers. These guys got lost somewhere between the garage and the bar, sending dirty howls through the dead-end streets of the suburbs like a midnight transmission from KFJC. Part Rocket From the Crypt, part Doctor Demento, Joan and the Rivers don’t seem to care much about the rules of genre or taste. If you need a break from the condominium complex muzak that has taken over much of San Jose, this is for you.
