My adopted home, of San Francisco ... I'll do some of the local bands, lesser known, I've discovered and really like ...

The Dont's ... lots of fun live, pretty crazy and goofy, but they can rock ...

see here ... 4:45 ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKPU6tRw0r8&feature=related



Film School .... dark and brooding ....

This song is actually almost 8 minutes on the album, and melts my face with every listen ... http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=599502

Cult to Follow-Band that has played maybe 5 shows & has label interest already
a replenished version of The Union Undergroung. Same singer/producer/writer. Not a great band but someone to look out for.

Ledaswan-Hard working band, can't seem to get a break around here. Sounds like a 90's college girly thing but a bit more modern than simply that.

Girl In A Coma-Signed to Joan Jett's Label. They have mellowed their sound a bit but a great all girl garage punk/indie sound. On tour in dec. very fun show.

Fin del Mar-A liitle known band even in this area. All instrumental but not what you'd expect no Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky sound-a-like here. Tasteful shoegaze style minus the never missed vocals.

If you like your folk/americana sung by a Welshman in London (and who doesn't?) please check out my good friend Harrisburg.

Also known in group form as The Harrisburg Family Band the man speaks the truth and it should be heard by all:
