BIOGRAPHY
Joe Sib’s “California Calling: A Story of Growing Up Punk Rock”
is a 70-minute “broken word” roller coaster ride delivered by
a man with enough energy and passion to power an entire
city. Armed with only a microphone and 45 digital slides, Sib’s
story is personal, funny, relatable and brutally honest. He gives
Murray Bowles, Edward Culver and Lisa Johnson.
Sib makes his personal journey highly entertaining, with a fast
delivery rivaling that of a seasoned stand-up comedian. Growing up in the Santa Cruz mountains in Northern California
in the late 1970’s on a horse ranch with his mother, father and
younger sister, life was good. But as Sib turned 10-years-old,
his parents decided to call it a day and followed in the pattern
He left the redwood trees of Santa Cruz and moved into the
“suburbia” of San Jose, and it was there where Sib’s life was
about to begin. In a parking lot on an overcast December
morning, Joe Sib Sr. talked little “Joey” into taking a chance and
walking through the front doors of Winchester Skateboard
Park. On that day, December 27th 1981, two things would
member of the now “legendary”Winchester Skateboard Park
14-year-old ears” the sounds of Black Flag, The Clash, The Sex
Pistols and 999.
This is where Joe Sib’s life long
obsession with Punk Rock
would be born. “California
Calling” is Sib’s story of how
Punk Rock saved his life and
ultimately has driven him to
where he is today. Sib’s credits
include fronting punk band
Wax, co-owning independent
label Side One Dummy Records (The Gaslight Anthem,
Flogging Molly, Gogol Bordello), hosting punk rock radio
show “Complete Control”-airing in seven cities across the
country including Los Angeles’ 98.7FM show–and also hosting
the Bay Area’s Channel 92.3FM “Music in the Mornings” show.
In a review headlined “Joe Sib‘s funny, manic, often touching
‚California Calling’” the Los Angeles Times said of the show:
sibility of music charged his part-memoir, part-comedy, partbackyard-barbecue-yarn about what happens when the old
days never quite go away…The abiding take from ‘California
Calling’ is that the rush of youthful discovery doesn‘t have to
dissipate with adult life.”
