I’m looking forward to seeing and hearing the loud fast band Pee or PEE at Bottom of the Hill or BOTH on March 1. They played in the Palo Alto Soundcheck series at Cubberley Theatre in Palo Alto, June of 1995, which by the new math is about 31 years ago.

And 1: my previous post about Olivia Dean the best new artist omits the fact that she has had a SF fan base since wowing them at Rickshaw Stop in fall, 2023, two years ago. Reminds me there was a Leslie Dean on the scene maybe performed with PEE or me. Maybe Leslie Dean of San Francisco is actually Olivia Dean’s mother. Best new rumor about a best new artist…

andPee:

the cofounder of Noise Pop Kevin was also the manager of Pee at the time. I can’t believe I am omitting Kevin’s name. Not Kevin Ryan, manager of Green Apple. Kevin who knows Jordan Kurland. Kevin who worked with IOTA. Kevin who also managed Overwhelming Colorfast. I guess I can look it up.

I swear it came to me just as I wrote “Kevin” plus “noise pop” into the search function; Arnold. Kevin Arnold. Shout out to Kevin Arnold, former manager of Pee. Kevin of IODA not IOTA.

Live in ’95 — this is the shroud of turin for indie rock:
