Condorosa

Local duo: guy on guitar and woman drums who share/combine vocs. Sweetest western twang guitar you'll ever hear. Surf elements, spaghetti western, beautiful guitar tone and one of the best male voices to emerge from SF in years (Chris Isaak? Kozelik?). Great Tom Tom based drums by the veteran of storied band Ovarian Trolly. Vivid imagery evoking lyrics as good as you'll ever encounter, vixens, cactus, little birds flying everywhere. For fans of Elvis, Orbison, Yoakum, Cave, Howard (Rowland S.), Cervenka/Doe. Every song amazing.
