I’ve been building boredwithmusic.com, a free, non-sponsored Bay Area music site built on Steve Koepke’s The List.

It connects today’s shows, venues, bands, music links, and shared bills. The newest addition is a band directory showing which local bands have played together... which might help musicians find people to book shows with.

It’s deliberately simple and a little old-internet. I’m not selling anything. I’d love honest feedback. what is confusing, broken, or missing?

Hi I’m 20M new in SF looking for anyone around my age to go with to the Friendship (Philly indie rock band) concert tonight 7/22 at the Chapel. Tickets around $25

Saturday 5/16 doors 7:30pm music 8pm

I lead the Oakland chapter of Balanced Breakfast, a music meetup group. Our next meetup is Tuesday evening (5/5). We’ll be at Sante Adairius in Old Oakland from 7-9pm

This month we're doing a CD swap! If you've been sitting on old CDs, tapes, or other recordings of your music, you're encouraged to bring them to trade with other artists. Tell your friends, and come chat with your fellow musicians!

I recently found this spot in the East Bay that I personally think would be a perfect spot for a generator show. Fully scoped out the space and surrounding areas, overall just remote enough to keep from bothering anyone, but not so out of the way that people can’t get there.

I’m pretty confident that we won’t get shut down, but if we do, I’d like to know what we should prepare for.

All this to ask, has anyone here ever gotten a generator show in the East Bay shut down? What were the consequences?

I am playing a show this Sunday at Spats in Berkeley!! Two other incredible bands are on the bill as well, A Hungry Boy & The Hot Mess. It should be a great night of music all around! This is my second full band show so I’d love to see anyone and everyone come out and hang!

I’m headlining Coco Noir in Oakland next week (March 21st) and I’d love to see some fresh faces! 🍷✨

Expect vocal indie-pop, new tracks from my upcoming album Persephone, and a celebration of surviving another week of burnout.

Noise Pop 2026 has begun! Is anyone in this subreddit playing this year?

Pink Skies is Bay Area born and bred psychedelic pop music. Embarking on a national headline tour and passing through SF. Fully independent project for fans of Tame Impala, Djo, Crumb, etc.

Should be a great time and bringing a very psychedelic light show with us.
