Get on board early with ultra-cute Perth indie-poppers San Cisco.
San Cisco
While the Freo school buddies Jordi, Josh, Nick and Scarlett that make up San Cisco are still enviably young, they’ve already been in bands The Flairz and The Real Life Animators, and have already had a name change from King George.
San Cisco’s songs start with chiming, fluttering guitars, perky drums and percussion, and Jordi’s peculiarly melodic chant (bordering on a wail), but are sold on those cutesy, addictive hooks.
They released their debut EP this year, with ‘Golden Revolver’s title track getting much triplej love.
Then they stepped back into the studio with Steven Schram (Little Red, Little Birdy, Cat Empire) to create their second EP ‘Awkward’, due out next year – the jaunty, dueling-vocalled title track sneaking out early.
The bright sound is equally well reflected in the retro-futurist video clip, with Jordi and Scarlett trading courting gripes via iPhone message speech bubbles in Rockwellian domesticity.
The band already snared slots on earlier BDO, Laneway and Groovin’ The Moo festivals, and head out with Emma Louise for some WA shows (Jordi has to finish high school first) then they venture East for Pyramid Rock and Peats Ridge Festivals.
Check out the brand new clip for ‘Awkward’ and the breezy early ‘Golden Revolver’ below.
For fans of: Vampire Weekend, Matt & Kim, The Holidays, Fiery Furnaces.
