What relatively new releases by #EastBay artists am I thinking about spending my #BandcampFriday allowance on? Glad you asked!
Hieroglyphics mainstay Casual has a new album out, and the preview track is a banger. casual1.bandcamp.com/album/black-...

5. "Go Anywhere," Sally Green [feat. Kurupt] Pure nostalgic '80s R&B, but so perfectly executed, right down to the Flexatone stings. Green is an independent Oakland artist who also plays saxophone apparently? Her whole album is this good. #EastBayMusic

Day 5 - “In Circles,” Rob I. Miller (2023)
Miller also plays in and writes songs for in Oakland band Blues Lawyer.
Thanks for joining me imvelebrating some #EastBayMusic. We’ve got a bunch of little bands making a variety of music in a variety of styles over here.

Day 4 - "I'm Not the Only One," The Goods (2023)
The Oakland band has a search-engine problem in that Google & YouTube are convinced you're looking for the Sam Smith song of the same name, but this is some snappy power-pop, not treacly blue-eyed soul. #EastBayMusic

Day 3 - "Favorite Stars," The Bye Bye Blackbirds (2022)
Oakland band making British Invasion-style guitar-pop for 20 years now. They have a fairly extensive Wikipedia entry, probably the work of a band member or superfan, but OK—they're established. #EastBayMusic

Day 2 - "Cold Heart," The Zig Zag Hearts
This Oakland band is the brainchild of longtime Green Day associate Greg Schneider, who serves as a tour photographer & videographer and has played in a covers side-project with Billie Joe Armstrong. #EastBayMusic
RIP Mike Burma. KALX has been such a key part of East Bay music for so long, and Mike was a stalwart. So much incredible music he played for us and introduced us to.
