We want to support local bands. Period. We want you to hear them which will make you want to see them which will make you want to buy all their records. This will allow the bands to quit their day jobs (unless they really like their day jobs) and make more music and make more records and and play more shows. This in turn will cause other people to pick up instruments and write songs and put together bands and make more records and play more shows. Can you seel where all this is going? It is the true circle of life.

All the bands you will hear on this RADIO STATION are local to the San Francisco Bay Area. Some may be old, some may be new, some may not appeal to your tastes but keep listening– like the Bay Area itself the station's strength lies in its diversity

WHAT JUST PLAYED?

Please remember – we are just starting to build up our library and are working round the clock on getting MP3's and CD's from bands so that we can get more music for you to listen to. SO, please don't hate us if you hear more than one song by the same band – besides, what's so wrong with that anyway? Also if you are using a dial-up connection the stream will stall and basically sound like crap. We hope to have an lo-fi stream available soon for those without broadband.
