10+ Gigs Booked through Sonicbids! Artist Information

Biography
My First Earthquake's bold, synth-riddled indie pop, rooted in Mates of State's angularity and Of Montreal's multi-instrumental jumpiness, places them in the same musical territory as the Kills, the Sounds, and the Blow.

Based in San Francisco, and frequently touring along the West Coast and points inland. We have a mailing list of 525; shows bring 30-90 existing fans, depending on day and location.
