Excuses For Skipping
San Francisco, CA
Rock / Indie Rock / Shoegaze/New Wave
Bio
Excuses For Skipping play old school space age new wave using absolutely no synthetic materials or artificial colors. Grown the old fashioned way on the streets of San Francisco’s Mission District, EFS infuse their live performances with sheet metal banging, bike frame clanging and volcanic guitar explosions that send your heart galloping with your hands flying over several hundred horses fleeing the scene of of a shotgun fireworks bonanza. You wont know what hit ya!
Press
“ "YES! Some rock!! Big shouts to Julie for tipping us off to San Francisco’s EXCUSES FOR SKIPPING, a band we quickly were smitten with and had to track down their new music. Las Vegas Weekly nailed it by saying, “Imagine if Kevin Shields had produced The Go-Go’s and you’ve got some idea where this Bay Area-based, all-female quartet is coming from. Lush, shoegazey backdrops envelop bubblegum-pop hooks on enjoyable (if slightly ephemeral) tunes.” I love the driving sound of this act, reminiscent of another Bay Area group, ERASE ERRATA that I once loved dearly. We need to see this live and I think they just moved to the top of the list for an upcoming Rumble SF. "
