St. Laurent goes unplugged at Copia
By LOUISA HUFSTADER

It’s been a busy year for Napa musicians Bob St. Laurent and James Regan, who will play a rare, mostly-acoustic concert with their band St. Laurent at Copia on Nov. 15.

“We’ve done well over 80 shows,” said bassist St. Laurent, who plays with guitarist Regan in three very different groups: St. Laurent, their powerful rock quartet first founded in the 1980s; Urban Slack, a Hawaiian-inspired act Regan formed a few years ago; and a new instrumental trio with a tongue-in-cheek name: The Deadly (or potentially harmful) Surfinatics.

“We’re starting to shorten it to ‘the Deadlies,’” joked St. Laurent. He and Regan developed their power-surf style while playing the corner of First and Main streets during this summer’s weekly Napa Chefs Market celebrations; next year, they hope to play the main stage at Dwight Murray Plaza.

St. Laurent and Regan’s original group, with singer Mark Tate of Napa and drummer Danny Cantrell of Benicia, reunited last year after a decade-long hiatus.

Following its packed performance at the Napa Bowl lounge early this year, St. Laurent has gone on to open for Motley Crüe and Def Leppard, among scores of other gigs at clubs and arenas around the Bay Area.

“It’s getting exciting now,” said St. Laurent. “We didn’t expect it – not to hit like this.”

At Copia, the band will present a retrospective of the past 20 years, he continued, but fans of the hard-rock sound will have to be patient: Most of the concert will be “unplugged.”

“We’ll play the first three-quarters of the show acoustic, and then warn everybody and bring it on,” said Regan, who also performs with the St. John’s Lutheran Church Worship Band in Napa.

“We’ll showcase the music first, and then we’ll hit it hard for the last 25 percent, for those who need us to crank it up.”

St. Laurent will offer a free preview of the show when the band performs live on Kellie Fuller’s morning radio show, simultaneously broadcast on KVON-AM and KVYN-FM, Nov. 11 at 7:40 a.m.

Next stop Hawaii,

then London?

Regan and St. Laurent may go international next month: On Nov. 18, the Deadly (or potentially harmful) Surfinatics will learn whether they have won an online video contest to play the “after-party” for a concert in London that will feature the reunited Led Zeppelin (details at https://www.tradebit.com).

Their video — shot at San Francisco’s Brainwash lounge and laundromat — is a dizzying thrill-ride through the Deadlies’ riptide of surf rhythm.

Regan’s guitar twangs as St. Laurent and drummer Jeff Craft power through a medley of high-energy instrumentals that have made the clip one of the most-viewed on the https://www.tradebit.com site, a YouTube competitor backed by Comcast.

The video is also online on YouTube and the band’s MySpace page, and it impressed Hawaiian surf group the Take-Offs enough that they invited the Deadlies to open for them on Kaua’i later this month, after a return engagement at Brainwash Nov. 18.

Closer to home, the Deadly (or potentially harmful) Surfinatics will be riding in the Calistoga Tractor Parade Dec. 1, and St. Laurent and Regan have also scored what the guitarist calls “the trifecta” of gigs: On New Year’s Eve, Urban Slack will open for the Deadlies before St. Laurent takes the stage as headliner at the Silicon Valley location of W Hotels, one of the band’s many sponsors.

But none of these shows will offer the intimacy of the Copia performance space, which seats fewer than 300. St. Laurent promises that on Nov. 15, the band will bring out some favorite Led Zeppelin songs and other rock classics, “so people can sing along.”
