It’s time for our Local Spotlight! Aaaand it’s not exactly local but we’ll make an exception this week. You have local blues legend Mick Martin going up tomorrow, so it’s all good!

Side note: Man, it is getting pretty hard to find releases for this series. I won’t post if the album is streaming elsewhere, and there seems to more stuff on streaming services than ever before.

This one comes from Emily Cole Brown’s collection of (mostly) local band CD’s. Emily is a Sac Music Archive neighbor and we became fb friends from our local “Buy Nothing” group. It turns out that we both collected local music, so she loaned me her CD collection so we can post these here. Thanks Emily!

Here is what Discogs has to say about the band: “Indie, power-pop band from the San Francisco Bay area circa 1999 to 2002 with Alex Mandel (vocals, guitras, bass, keyboards). Brian Clahan (drums, percussion), Semyon Kobialka (cello) and Chris Daddio (bass, backing vocals, synthesizers).” It’s pretty polished.
