At the top of the bill and the top of their game are The Raving Animals --five Bay Area rockers who capture the energy and power of The Animals. Using vintage instruments, including the essential Vox Continental Organ, The Raving Animals bring back the rhythmic blast that Eric Burdon and the Animals put out at live shows, nailing hits like the "House of the Rising Sun," "We Gotta Get Out of This Place", "It's My Life" and "Don't Bring Me Down."

If you missed the '60s, and even if you didn't, you won't want to miss British Invasion #2.
