Jonny Manak at the Caravan

MANAK EPISODE: San Jose's own Jonny Manak rock the Caravan with Bay Area expats the English Language.

Long before electric scooters filled the streets, Jonny Manak at the Depressives were one of the tried and true staples of downtown San Jose. A homegrown ’77-style punk powerhouse, Manak and Co. have both the energy of the Hives and the California street pedigree of Rancid. And with recent songs like “Cold Pizza and Warm Beer” they’ve definitely still got it. Joining them at the Caravan is the English Language, a stoney group of Bay Area expats, whose recent “High Beams” is a garagey creeper all about urban legends, midnight movies and amplifiers bumping in the night.
