I hope you don’t forget – Sir Lord Von Raven and Impediments – both well received around the globe.
Been trudging over here in the east bay – true soul. Impediments LP 1st press – goner. SLVR mojo love coming early 2010.
This was a great list – it’s proof that the unseen is the scene in San Francisco. We just now need to get people out to support more local talent + an all ages club. Thank you for keeping this codger up on the ‘indie’ sound of the bay. It means a lot.
