THE FRESH & ONLYS: (Reunion Show!) We're getting the band back together! For the first time since 2019, these San Francisco indie darlings are getting back together for ONE SHOW ONLY in the Bay Area!
Originally formed in San Francisco by Tim Cohen, Shayde Sartin and Wymond Miles, and Kyle Gibson, their self-titled debut appeared in 2008 at the fulcrum of a flourishing San Francisco music scene. The debut distinguished The Fresh & Onlys from their peers in the lauded “San Francisco garage scene.” With tunefulness equally indebted to pastoral psychedelia, punchy new wave and hyper-literate proponents of lofty 80s pop, The Fresh & Onlys swiftly moved through the ranks of venerable indie rock labels. In 2012, The Fresh & Onlys’ fourth album, Long Slow Dance was released followed by a fifth album, House of Spirits in 2014. In 2017, they released their seventh album, Wolf Lie Down, which was written and recorded mostly by Cohen and Miles.

THE INTELLIGENCE: Fittingly born at the dawn of the 21st Century, The Intelligence’s brand of art-smarm surf has become a touchstone for with-it rock ’n’ roll of the era. Perhaps a surprising assertion, especially considering their primitive and personal origins, but one cemented by the dedication and continual reinvention fostered by main-brain Lars Aldric Finberg. For all their longevity and prolificacy, The Intelligence is a restless, ever-evolving vehicle for Finberg, showcasing his presumably patented knack for sharp pop songwriting that rides waves from both the past and heretofore unknown.
