Band: French Cassettes.
Opener: Tibetan Method and Travis Vick
Date: September 23, 2011
Location: Fox and Goose, Sacramento, CA
Preconceived Thoughts of the Band - I met one of their band members weeks ago to discuss a project, in which we would have to coordinate. I am somewhat their manager/consultant. The band member was generous in giving me their EP. I gave a listen to and instantly was hooked. They have a poppy/catchy guitars, soothing vocals and groovy bass. For a baby band, they had their signature sound already figured out. I showed them to my friend and they also became instant fans. I wanted to hear more, so I found out they were playing a show in sac and we drove the venue.
