Wish Inflicted, founded by songwriters Branden Boyd and Brian Cooper, plays a deeply introspective yet accessible brand of acoustic / electric rock. Their roots began in Portland, Oregon, where they performed as an acoustic guitar-wielding duo at coffee shops and open mics. Upon re-grouping a few years later in San Francisco, they decided to reach beyond the acoustic sounds and create a full band project. Brian brought in electric guitars, and Branden began alternating between acoustic guitar and keys. They added the solid, intricate drumming of Emir Simbirdi, and fluid basslines provided by Jochen Straub. Now gigging regularly at renowned Bay Area venues, they bring additional layers of depth to their sound with electric guitar hooks, arrangements including piano & Hammond organ, and a grooving rhythm section. Wish Inflicted has long since outgrown the coffee shop, but still embraces the honest songwriting and strong vocal harmonies of its singer-songwriter past.
Heya! We're throwing a show/party this friday, tomorrow, at The Ghost Town Gallery here in Oakland. We've got a couple local groups, and some friends of ours from New York on Tour are playing. BYOB and come and have a listen!
Thank you Wish Inflicted for having me and Iban play last night. It was fun and sorry we left a little early because our ride needed to be somewhere. Thanks again!
