Is Sacramento the new Stockton? It's certainly the birthplace of Fine Steps , the surf pop project of 26-year-old Sacramento native and former Mayyors drummer Julian Elorduy. Other members include guitarist Kyle Hoover and bassist Alex Sowles of Ganglians and Dylan of G. Green, all also hailing from California's capital. The band's first LP, Boy's Co. , was recorded at Tiny Telephone and will be released on Elorduy's own Song Records in April/May. Until then, you can listen to one of the tracks, "Painted Church," below. [...]
Mist and Mast - "Getting Out Soon" The Make Out Room sits in the center of a hot scene - Cafe's Lolo and Revolution and a mini-park across the street and all - and yet it operates in relative quiet and on its own terms. One such example - the happy hour show. For whatever reasons, the management often splits the evening between live music early and DJ sets later- the music afficionado's penchant to still be napping or eating before 9:30 be damned. And [...]

A prominent narrative going into CMJ this year was the surge in the popularity of hardcore music, and at the forefront of that discussion was Sacramento's Trash Talk. Though Trash Talk have been together, and been very good, for a number of years, they pretty much stacked paper at CMJ, from a press clip standpoint. Trash Talk came to embody a city that no one really knew much about - outside of that they have a former NBA fan favorite as a mayor - but what they did know wasn't pleasant. Sacramento is a reputably scuzzy, rundown city, [...]
Fine Steps - "Tomorrow For All Of Today" Sacramento, the criminally-under-the-radar home for a bunch of talented bands, has done it again with Fine Steps , a band led by former Mayyors drummer Julian Elorduy, joined by Ganglians' Alex Soles and Kyle Hoover. This is some very un-Mayyors stuff, but, that being said, "Tomorrow for All of Today" is some excellent jangle-pop. The band's Bandcamp page says this song is from the Boy's Co. LP, out in 2012.
