We are a San Francisco based indie pop/rock band. We currently play acoustic shows and have done full electric stuff. Catchy, emotional, truthful, fun, melodic, intelligent pop-rock tunes. We have played all over the SF Bay Area at such places like, The Make Out Room, Hotel Utah, Red Devil Lounge, Annie's Social Club, Last day Saloon, Kimo's, Blakes, Stork Club, Brainwash Cafe, Ireland 32, Tongue and Groove, PiNoisepop, Apature and dozens of other bars, cafes, restaurants, music stores, parks, street festivals, and house parties. We hope to branch out and play shows all over Cali and the rest of the country. Our CD, "The Way Things Are", represents what we are doing. In the summer of 2009 we will release a new CD, "Midnight to Morning" which represents where we are headed. Our music can be found online at cdbaby.com, Digstation.com, and ITunes. so spread the good word! We look forward to playing for you and meeting you....see you all soon friends. support the music. let it fill your soul and color your life. much love, FOS
