In the busiest time I have ever had with Kata Rokkar, I have been lucky enough to find two more like-minded writers/music lovers to assist me with the website. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Tanner and Jared; the two new contributors to Kata Rokkar. Already active in the Bay Area music scene, both will be giving an added variety to the website.
Jared has lived in San Jose for about 16 years; his current favorite bands are The Mars Volta, dredg, Portugal. The Man, and Minus the Bear. One of his favorite concerts was Bonnaroo 2009 and dredg playing all of Leitmotif and El Cielo in Santa Cruz at the Catalyst.
Tanner grew up in Omaha, Nebraska and has been living in San Francisco for about 3 1/2 years. He tends to like music with eclectic influences and at least a tinge of pop. He also enjoys seeing his favorite acts in intimate settings, for instance, Why? at Hotel Utah a couple years ago. Tanner and I will be covering SXSW this month, so stay tuned for that.
