[SF:] Breakdown Valentine

If CHVRCHES, Blondie, and The Sounds had a threesome band baby, it would be San Francisco’s Breakdown Valentine.

This electropop / electro rock duo brings dark wave influences to dream pop and adds in sultry vocals.

“Lullaby” has more of a Blondie and The Sounds 80s feel while “There Will Be Blood” sounds like a slowed down CHVRCHES track with an American accent.

If you’re in San Francisco, check them out tonight at PopScene at the Rickshaw Stop!

“Lullaby”

“There Will Be Blood”

Not gonna lie – I love this track because of its CHVRCHES synths and because There Will Be Blood is one of my favorite movies.

“Midnight City” Acoustic Audience Sing-Along with The Knocks

Last night, The Knocks had some technical difficulties in the middle of their set last night during PopScene at the Rickshaw Stop in San Francisco. While the audience waited, Mr. JPatt (half of the Knocks) played an acoustic version of their cover of M83’s “Midnight City.” He said that since Mandy Lee (the singer in their cover) wasn’t with them, the audience would have to sing.

No one knew the words, but everyone knew the boops.

A couple people behind my friend and me were convinced the first line was “waiting in a car.”
