san francisco nights

last spring i became briefly obsessed with san francisco band thee oh sees. truth be told i still jump every time i hear they're on tour, putting out new music, etc. but there was one major flaw in this obsession - uncharacteristically, i didn't follow through and see what else is going on musically in and around san francisco. it's one of my favorite cities, but bands from there tend to stay close to home and don't garner much attention beyond silicon valley and the occasional music blog.

so i was piddling around online last night and came across some san francisco/northern ca music that will hopefully make its way to the show over the next few weeks. like...
