LA received a special treat last night when San Cisco stopped by the Echo in Silverlake during their US tour. With their sophomore EP ‘Awkward’ gaining major attention and their single of the same title obtaining more than 2 million hits on YouTube, I was sure this 4 piece Australian band would bring a fun night of danceable tunes. This was their first show in Los Angeles.
Newcomers in the folk-pop scene, Miner opened up with their first live show EVER in a big way. This good-looking 6 piece band was instrumentally flawless, with uplifting lyrics in ‘Hey Love’ and bonfire-worthy ‘Golden Ocean’. You can’t help but clap your hands and stomp your feet to this band, and the camaraderie is certainly apparent as they laugh onstage playing their banjos and mandolin. This group shines, keep an eye on them because I have an inclination they are going to rise to the top very quickly. I’m honored to have witnessed them at the beginning.
Next to play was New Zealand’s Tom Lark, also his first time playing in LA. His band members were excited and the vibe was brit-pop influenced and energetic. Entertaining guys to watch before the headliners.
San Cisco started their set just before 10:30. These guys have only released 2 EP’s since they formed in 2010, but frontman Jordi Davieson has fantastic stage presence and immediately the crowd was dancing around to their playful songs. Their new song ‘Fred Astaire’ came equipped with impressive guitar riffs and sweet vocals that make you wanna hold hands with your high school sweetheart. The adorable Scarlett Stevens on drums certainly gives the band a ‘500 Days of Summer’ feel, and even the shy lead singer reminded me of Joseph Gordon-Levitt. They saved the best for last, ending the night with ‘Awkward’. Look for their debut album with Fat Possum Records to hit stores this November.
