My First Earthquake's "Enya Don't Got Nothing On Us" is a colorful balloon bonanza.
Official Website | Facebook | Twitter | YouTube"My First Earthquake's bold, synth-riddled indie pop, rooted in Mates of State's angularity and Of Montreal's multi-instrumental jumpiness, places them in the same musical territory as the Kills, the Sounds, and the Blow."–allmusicA band with a name like My First Earthquake requires an epic creation story. Singer Rebecca Bortman felt her maiden

by teepoo Welcome the weekend! The weather was pretty warm and beautiful today (until tonight's thunderstorm). Some how the rumble of the thunderstorm lead me to listen to My First Earthquake . They're a band headed by Rebecca Bortman. The one thing I love about this track is that it has both the bad-ass sort of indie rock quality but the crazy vibe to be able to jump up and down and have a mini dance party. The track is a sneak peak at their upcoming album [...]
I am so sorry. I have been seriously delinquent in posting here at the blog. I wouldn't blame you if you thought I'd packed it in. I suppose I should put up some Christmas music to make up for it, shouldn't I? 'Tis the season and all that. I've actually had this non-traditional chrimbo mix made up for nearly two months. I made it for a friend who lost her sister last year right before the holiday. She told me she couldn't bear to listen to any traditional Christmas music this [...]
Click image to download full album Sounds like: The Subways, The Kills, Klaxons "Blood Red Shoes - Light It Up" What's so good? Only a day or two before the show date, it was announced on the Rickshaw Stop's website that, due to visa issues, Sky Larkin , one of the supporting acts, had to cancel. Perhaps this was an omen of what was to come at the Blood Red Shoes show. Although [...]

In the video below Rebbecca and Chad explains everything into great detail, for my part I'm posting some music from their last album just in case you've been living under a rock, and giving you a link to donate, help out a true Indie band make [...]
Backseat Beat is a video series highlighting indie musicians and the city by the Bay. Armed with Flip cameras, we interview bands in the back seat of our '83 Volvo as we spirit them away to unexpected, forgotten corners of San Francisco, where they plug in outdoors to play a few tunes. Each band's performance transforms these urban spots from their anonymous day to day existence into surreal, magical backdrops. Taking turns in the back seat today is local indie-pop sensation My First Earthquake , also [...]
Labor Day weekend has officially commenced. This is a time when it seems like everybody is leaving town to go camping or to some music festival, but there is good news for those choosing to keep it real in the city: Tonight The Deli SF is hosting a showcase for some great local bands at The Rickshaw Stop, headlined by the the quirky, electro pop powerhouse, My First Earthquake . Be sure to get there early as an up and coming favorite of ours, Phantom Kicks , opens the show. [Audio clip: view full [...]

Hace un tiempo hablábamos por aquí de My First Earthquake, grupo de San Francisco compuesto por Rebecca Bortman (Voz), Chad Thornton (teclados, bajo, voces), y Andre Salcido (batería), quienes nos sorprendían gracias a su música alegre y desenfadada en la línea de bandas como The Kabeedies o The Deirdres. El pasado mes de junio han publicado un nuevo Ep, Crush, el cual ofrecen a sus seguidores de forma totalmente gratuita desde su página web . Entre las canciones incluidas destacamos especiamente las dos primeras, "Pick Up, Stick Up" y sobre todo [...]
Could I just copy the words to The Sun Also Rises, throw in some fresh adjectives and updated references and get it published as the remixed version? Honestly, I'm so tired of remixes. I go through my inbox and see remix after remix after remix. Are you serious? Make your own damned music if you're so talented. And not to be hateful, but I don't even care if you disagree. So, that said, here's what I found that wasn't just someone else's music with a couple of echo effects and a drum loop thrown in: While this [...]
