Music & Bands

A life lived in music — from the fog-soaked clubs of San Francisco to stages across the country. These are the bands, the projects, and the sounds that have shaped the journey.

The Weather Band — 2004

The Weather Band is a morphing organism. A blob.

Crow

Members come and go and come back again. On any given performance or recording the organism will have a unique sound, taste and shape. The nucleus, however, remains roughly the same, in the form of songwriter David Rosenheim.

The blob came into being in San Francisco, emerging from the smold'ring rubble of 90s rock supernova, Hugh — and has been quietly shapeshifting ever since.

"
I didn't find The Weather Band — The Weather Band found me. On a good day, or maybe on a bad day, these are songs that sound like he wrote them for me. It's still standing there, a little off center, but I suspect it's sticking around for a while.

hugh is a black cat with mean yellow eyes. Our only goal was to do him honor.

hugh (the band — not the cat) emerged from the soupy fog of San Francisco in late 1992. Over the next seven years, these epic indie rocksters won the hearts of legions across the universe. Having toured the nation six times, rocking the freaks and lovers with songs from their several critically-acclaimed releases, hugh has finally found you…

Winchester Revival

Winchester Revival — Oakland, CA

A band from Oakland, CA with a timeless alternative rock sound.

Taking influence from post-punk and early 90s college rock, Winchester Revival brought together vocalist David Rosenheim, guitarist Andrew Lund, bassist Ron Cruz, drummer Kirk Snedeker, and electronic producer Matt Glick. Lund and Rosenheim worked closely on shoegaze and wall-of-sound-influenced melodies, while Cruz's slinky bass provided unexpected lightness. Amanda Guilbeaux rounded out the sound with luminous backing vocals.

Fans of Arcade Fire, Radiohead and Foals felt right at home.

"
…a thick tapestry of sound and thrilling production…carefully crafted to knock every human sense into gear.
"
Winchester Revival is a new band with an already very distinctive sound and passion to match.
"
I recommend Winchester Revival wholeheartedly — for stream, download, whatever you've got.
"
…an exceptional album that ascends far above Winchester Revival's modest portrayal.
