Playing at Bottom of the Hill (map) with Oh My God and Highway Patrol. We are so smiley excited! Our first time playing the famed BoTH! A heart-fluttering thought for any SF band (or any band for that matter)! We play first so come early, and stay for Chicago’s un-laxing indie monkey rock, Oh My God and San Francisco’s own queen of The Road, Highway Patrol. It’s going to be such a memorable night I’m already having flashbacks (err..forwards?…err) $8! //Rb

Playing at Amnesia (map) with Young Moderns. They start off the night with awesome power pop-bop, we go second doing our thang, and DJ Dirty Dishes showcases his vintage soul collection in between and all around! Rock! $7!

Nice words from online sources

Our first EP and the show this Sunday are getting some hot coverage. This week, we were featured in The Bay Bridged, SF Weekly and this from The Deli SF:

“This first EP from My First Earthquake, entitled Tremors, is totally fun and infectious. The six tracks are adorned with plenty of synth and hip-shaking bass lines, making for a continuous stream of well-executed, straightforward indie pop.”

CD in the city!

Our shipment of The Tremors EP CDs arrived in the mail yesterday in time for the show on Sunday. We are really happy with them! Hope you will be too! Here are some hot shots.

Our physical manifestation has arrived

The Tremors EP CDs are on press. Get a hot one and free poster at our June 1st show. Take a listen to the EP here.
