For some funny reason I always see Penelope around town be it in the Mission or at Lanesplitters in Berkeley just last week. Anyway they're the godmothers and fathers of SF punk and an awesome band. Saw them at Du Nord in 06 and they were awesome. I'd love to see them again.

"...The Best Band In California" - Aaron Axelsen, Music Director, Live 105
UPTONES:
"It is a sight to behold, The Uptones tearing up the stage and the audience tearing up the dance floor." - San Francisco Chronicle
"The Uptones... without a doubt the best show in Berkeley." - Berkeley Free Press
"Sitting down at an Uptones show is like keeping your eyes shut at a movie." - Rolling Stone
THE MAY FIRE
"have captured and liberated local listeners with sassy songs and adrenaline filled choruses which echo that of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs Fever To Tell. Their liveliness has been compared to that of Metric and it’s quite apparent that there’s no end in sight for the young band." - Zero Magazine
