 GET TO KNOW FRANCISCO THE MAN [STREAM]

Francisco The Man (@FranciscosTweet) is not one man, but rather four fuzzed-out, noisy, shoegaze-y, psychedelic rockers from Los Angeles, California — none of whom are actually named Francisco. While surf rock is definitely having a moment, Francisco The Man’s sound is a little heavier and more resonant then a lot of the other music currently making the rounds in the genre. The band recently scored a residency at The Satellite in Los Angeles, and will be playing a free show every Monday night for the whole month of August! If you can’t make it there to see/hear them, 1) I’m sorry 2) you can pretend like you made it there by jamming out to their Soundcloud and Bandcamp pages, or by pre-ordering the band’s new 7”, out on Small Plates Records, the “label-based cooperative from the hearts and minds of I Guess I’m Floating and YVYNYL”.
