THE SKYFLAKES
Some folks find it difficult to get past the low-key charm
and obsess about the cuteness of THE SKYFLAKES.
With four out of five members of the band related to
someone else in the band, one recalls the endearingly
earnest cinematic or televised portrayals of kids playing
rock in more innocent times, minus the horrific outfits the
Brady kids were forced into when they were turned into
pop stars. Yet, a closer listen or look at the Skyflakes'
lyrics provide something more than just endearing
cuteness. Musically they are quite tight with well-crafted
pop melodies, hooks, and harmonies.

THE JACK LONDON SQUARES
A four piece indie/garage/punk band from SF and
Oakland, featuring members of Knulla Roofs, the
Mothballs, Scrabbel, and Clarendon Hills.

DREAMDATE
Adorable, female-fronted indie-pop trio from Oakland
(with ex-members of Hawaiian Getaway) makes catchy
tunes inspired by "tallboys and tall boys."
