What is a Catherine DeNuvaring? Bonjour Silly Americans! SF-based Catherine DeNuvaring plays world garage lounge: Vintage trashy tunes from the 1930s-1970s, bashed out hard and loud like punk rock in the original French, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, German, and Italian. NO ENGLISH! We used to go out all the time to see this kind of music, but it was always translated into English. The band we wanted to see didn't exist. So, we became it! Mais oui!
Where has Catherine DeNuvaring performed? Catherine DeNuvaring have been spotted invading legendary SF and Bay Area venues like Winters Tavern, Stay Gold Deli, Hotel Utah Saloon, the Knockout, Lucky Horseshoe, Mayes Oyster House, Otherwise Brewing, Thee Parkside (RIP), the Rite Spot, the New Farm, and Lanesplitter Pizza, and colonizing festivals including Noise Pop Summer of Music, Market Street Arts BUSK-IT!, SF Porchfest, Fiesta on the Hill, and Sonoma Wine Road. We've also infiltrated radio's "KALX Live!"
