Hoodathunk Entertainment, St. Rocke & Winston’s Presents Particle Reuniting With Charlie Hitchcock For Special Memorial Shows In SoCal 5/21 & 5/22!!!
Particle will reunite with guitarist Charlie Hitchcock for two very special concerts honoring the recent passing of two of Particle’s biggest fans and best friends, Gregg Lobdell and Jimmy Lebloch. Gregg and Jimmy were cornerstones of the Southern California music scene, and both played vital roles in helping build Particle’s fan base when the band first started with Hitchcock ten years ago. The band is eternally grateful for all the friendship and amazing experiences they shared with Jimmy and Gregg over the years, and they feel the best way to help their friends and family celebrate the lives of these two special people is to come together to perform as the classic Particle lineup that Jimmy and Gregg both loved so much.

This will be the first time in five years that Particle and Hitchcock will have played together.
There will be a Mockingbird Foundation booth set up at the shows where fans can make donations in Jimmy and Gregg’s names, and anyone making a donation will receive a matted poster print of Jimmy and Gregg (designed by longtime Particle artists and friends Jeremiah Harrison and Whitney Padgett).

******************************************************************
Since forming in the fall of 2000, Particle has enjoyed a successful ride that has taken them to eight countries for over 850 shows including Europe and Japan. After a whimsical San Francisco boat cruise, a musical bond was surged that was would take core Particle members Eric Gould, Steve Molitz, and Darren Pujalet on a sonic adventure that’s strong to this day.
Particle forged their signature sound playing late night parties and high profile festivals across the country including Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits Festival, Coachella, and New Orleans Jazzfest to name a few. The band has also appeared at Bonnaroo three times where they played a legendary five plus hour set beginning at 3am. Once dubbed the ‘late night kings’, Particle has garnered a lot of hype for creating a series of out of the box special events across the country.
