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.
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.

What a small (musical) world it can be!
Indeed!
Great taste! Love reading an artists list of faves!
It's one of my favorite things to see.
Also: It's awesome to see you here! :)

And Slumberland? They can't miss!
Great read! I will check them out. Also, loved the five questions... I may pinch one. :) Cheers!
Thanks! And feel free to steal 1..or 2...or 5. :)
I'd love to read some of the answers the people you interview might have!
