CRITICAL QUOTES
“Sib's boundless earnestness about the identity-shaping possibility of music charged his part-memoir, part-comedy, part-backyard-barbecue-yarn about what happens when the old days never quite go away. ‘California Calling’ isn't so much a performance as it is a solid hour to get comfortable and let Sib–a coiled spring of joy when it comes to these topics–riff on stream-of-consciousness tales of teenage n'er-do-welling…The abiding take from "California Calling" is that the rush of youthful discovery doesn't have to dissipate with adult life.”
—LATimes.com, 1/7/10 (in a review headlined “Joe Sib's funny, manic, often touching 'California Calling' “)
“His tales stem from a deep humor and passion; they’re part success story, part historical, and part average California guy having a blast.”
–Kenneth Hughes, Flavorpill.com, February 10, 2010
"Part stand-up comedy, part spoken word, part multimedia presentation, Joe Sib’s California Calling has been heralded by The Los Angeles Times and has made fans of members of Foo Fighters and Bad Religion."
—San Diego City Beat, February 16, 2010
"As an oral history, Sib's show is an interesting portrayal of the second wave of punk. While many of the musicians active during that time stressed their antisocial and nihilistic tendencies, Sib seems to be the polar opposite. Highly recommended for those who want to learn about the history of early West Coast punk and some inside details about those four guys in leather jackets and jeans from Queens."
–John Gentile, Punknews.org (4 out of 5-stars review), February 2, 2010
