Sitting here in deepest Derbyshire, the Bay Area scene initially sounded like quite a remote concept, but then I listened to 'Restless' and liked what I heard, so I read on with your interview ...

... only to find Christina relating a tale of playing on the same bill recently, in London, with Rachel from Dolly Mixture, a band I went to school with in Cambridge many moons ago.

What a small (musical) world it can be!

So glad you had the opportunity to interview Christina! I know we have a mutual love of this record and a lot of these Bay Area bands, and it's awesome to read a bit more into the scene. Grabbed Artsick and Kids On a Crime Spree on tape and Slumberland crushed it. They sound great!

I'm really glad it worked out. Talking to her, I was happily surprised to learn out unchanged the SF scene is today from what I knew in the early 90s. same cooperative spirit/ethos/ Only the names have changed.

And Slumberland? They can't miss!
