San Diego Bands to Know, If You Don't Know
ONE / THE BOSSA
Smooth and mellow, this jazzy ensemble will bring a high level of sophistication to any occasion or evening out. Check out tunes from their classy guitar, sultry tenor saxophone and light taps of the high hat on Saturday nights at Prohibition in the Gaslamp.
TWO / ALE MANIA
Their big-beat, indie-pop sound and surfer punk rock stylings have already floored listeners and created instant fans. Think fast-paced drum beats, innovative synth tracks and mellow guitar, all backed by hypnotizing vocals. Watch for the official LP release of A, Who Sings That Beat? early this summer.
THREE / THE SILENT COMEDY
Take every opportunity to see this rock-gospel-bluegrass-jam band live this summer. The band expresses their talent with deep lyrics, high energy live shows and moving instrumentals. It's tough to stand still when listening to these guys play.
FOUR / DIRTY GOLD
This recently signed trio of young men are poised to take over the airwaves. Expressing a breezy beach vibe and solemn, intoxicating lyrics, their music converts any day into a lackadaisical summer afternoon. Check out their debut album, Roar, out on April 12.
FIVE / HEAVY HAWAII
Lazy, sunny days never sounded so good. It's time to stretch out in the hammock and watch the days drift by while listening to Heavy Hawaii’s dreamy California beach music. Get lost in their melancholy tunes with their EP, HH, released at the end of 2010 by Art Fag Recordings.
SIX / KERA & THE LESBIANS
Kera’s soulful voice will seduce fans while the band plays toe-tapping, body-moving beats. Their music is the lusty offspring of a long night between garage band rock and twangy folk music. Keep an eye out for the new release of their second EP later this spring.

SEVEN / THE HEAVY GUILT
This rag tag compilation of musical geniuses have created a bold Americana rock sound that digs deep and echos in the bones. The rough, downtrodden, bluesy vocals are paired exquisitely with heavy, ambient rock ‘n’ roll. Watch for their new EP available this spring.
EIGHT / THE BURNING OF ROME
The Burning of Rome makes psychedelic rock that transcends the average musical experience by quantum leaps. Experimental, profound and moving, their music is like combining a roller coaster, Halloween, a meteor shower and lasers into one musical experience.
NINE / CUCKOO CHAOS
A San Diego Music Award winner for Best Alternative Band, their happy, upbeat music is great for a day in the park or throwing a frisbee on the beach. The lo-fi tropical sounds were brought to the world in their first EP last year, but look for a full-length album release expected soon.
