The Jakes to Play May Residency at eVocal

Newport Beach's The Jakes have been steadily rising in stature as of late--opening up for Kings of Leon, playing the OC Music Awards live band finals, getting their tunes on The Real World, and even being written up in the OC Weekly (don't hold that against them)--and next month they're hosting a Tuesday night residency at all-ages Costa Mesa venue eVocal. They'll be playing each Tuesday in May, along with a rotating cast of guest bands. The series is sponsored by KROQ's Locals Only show (not to be confused with our Locals Only, natch), which has given Jakes tunes like "Cough Syrup" some airplay as of late.
