Coo Coo Birds, Scary Little Friends, and Acacia

Hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area, Coo Coo Birds embody a timeless rock 'n' roll attitude with their era-spanning sound, drawing influences from garage, psychedelic, and 1950's rock. Think of a mixture of Link Wray, The Kinks, Chuck Berry, Black Keys, KISS, The Troggs, Elvis, Cheap Trick, David Bowie, and The Keggs, and you'll have a rough idea of what they sound like. Scary Little Friends creates music that consists of lilting vocals that hint at Jeff Buckley and deft guitars that invoke Mark Knopfler. Their point-blank songwriting features wry and brave lyrics delivered with unapologetic aplomb.
