Geographer – The Irenic
Geographer out of San Francisco is the indie-pop project of Michael Deni. So far, he has three full length albums with Ghost Modern being the most recent. Deni has described his sound as “soulful music from outer space.” Sounds intriguing! More info.

Soft Lions, BOY KING, The Schizophonics – Shaper Studios
Now, this is a much better way to raise money for your new album as opposed to doing the ol’ Kickstarter campaign. For a $5 donation, you can contribute to Soft Lions’ new album AND see a show featuring some local bands. That’s much better than waiting around for your “perk” to arrive in the mail. More info.
