So you haven’t been to one Mission Creek Festival show yet? Well on the 23rd of July at 9PM at The Knockout in San Francisco, one of the finest acts in the Bay Area will be performing their hearts out to a crowd of lucky people. You see, are the essence of not only Bay Area music, but California music. Free spirited, intelligent, and not oversaturated with influence, their last album, ‘Old Home Movies’, is a short yet sweet piece of pop craft that assists the listener in visualizing sunny Pacific beaches, windy roads, and a brisk atmosphere aided by their perfect harmonies and beach-bum vibe.
The band is currently working on their new album but guitarist/lead vocalist Alexi Glickman was kind enough to answer this week’s Kuestionnaire.
