Deck Sachse records and performs under the name Mission to the Sea. From the trenches of brooding acoustic rock, Mission to the Sea finds its own voice with flamenco and bossa nova innuendo cradled in seaside rock sensibilities. The melancholy and lucent voice of Mission to the Sea is accompanied by muted and often minor chords from acoustic guitar. Spry flamenco notes add brightness and complexity while mellow bass and beats add a subtle but plush texture. Their efforts result in articulate but intimate tunes, as worthy of play in downtown night owl digs as they are in sunny beach huts by the Cape.

Vans Warped Tour 2009 Warped just began -- Dallas is the fifth stop -- so Bad Religion, NOFX et al will still be fresh. This year, they've got fewer stages and longer sets (40 minutes instead of 30). Get there early for Colorado duo 3OH!3 and Brit punkers Gallows (pictured, credit Jay West). More info
