San Francisco Voice

There are lineups all over the place for Coachella so you don’t need me to tell you who is playing at that Southern California music festival that’s drawing in the crowds this weekend.  But what you might not know or be able to find so easily online is that there are several San Francisco Bay Area bands that are representing us down there.  Yep, in a lineup filled with acts from more countries than I care to recount, the Bay Area has more than one voice.

Here’s a brief look at them:

• DJ Shadow – Bringing the DJ arts to another level.
• Kid Beyond – This electronic beatbox boy epitomizes unique modern approaches to music.
• Mike Relm – Psychedelic blues music, who could ask for anything more?
• Peeping Tom – With “experimental / ghettotech”, of course.
• The Coup – Taking seventies funk and merging it with right-now hip-hop, The Coup plays Coachella as part of a tour and won’t be performing in the city again until Rock The Bells late this summer.

There are going to be plenty of acts to see throughout the three days of Coachella, but if you’re heading down there, you should make sure to mark your line-up calendars with these five artists who are representing The Bay.
