The Bay Bridged is holding a fundraiser tonight with French Miami, Adam Stephens (Two Gallants), Or, the Whale and Leopold and His Fiction.
We finally caught the deservedly hyped French Miami a couple months back and have been in awe ever since -- these guys are hands down one of our favorite bands right now. Check out our previous coverage, and give them a listen:
French Miami - SFO
French Miami - The God Damn Best
French Miami - Science Fiction
This is an extremely solid lineup and an awesome cause, so be sure to roll out...
Oakland's WireTapMusic is hosting a local heavy folky/indie pop day party Saturday at the Rooz Cafe in Oakland.
Acts include: Grand Lake, Make Me, The Splinters, White Cloud, The Blank Tapes, The Dashing Sons, Colossal Yes, Ghosts and the City, and Young Savage.
Portland favorites Starfucker are a solid Tuesday night call. Horrible band name aside, these guys (led by founder Josh Hodges) are pretty fucking rad...
Honestly, kinda shocking that these dudes have yet to blow up Passion Pit style... it came out last fall, but "Rawnald Gregory Erickson The Second" is definitely one of our 2009 summer jams.
We are also real excited to check out Portland's experimental dance act Atole -- shit sounds pretty solid.
Side note: Kinda bummed that Guidance Counselor is not making the trek down to SF this time around -- the duo shared a drummer with Starfucker last time around, and were really fucking legit.
For $8, French Miami @ Rickshaw Stop is the move. They have a dancey post-punk style that could work at a house party, but blend it with a big rock sound that I could see translating real well to stage. Think more Fucking Champs than Liars, but still something you can get sweaty jumping and moving too. They also throw in some harmonizing anthems, which we all know is the shit. Have not seen them live, but word is they kill it… pretty high hopes for this one.
*Confirmed -- they blew us away.
