Welcome!

A few days ago we caught up with Payam, Jon, Eric, and Greg, who collectively form Sholi. We first caught wind of these guys while putting together one of our Mission Creek Music Festival mixes and got a chance to see their excellent set at a Playing in Fog show a couple months back. Needless to say, we’ve been looking to feature them for a while now, and we spoke to the guys in advance of their upcoming show at the Bottom of the Hill celebrating the release of a new 7″ split with Seattle’s The Dead Science.

In addition to discussing the new 7″, as well as the band’s continuing progress on an upcoming full length, we talked about the elements that make up Sholi’s great sound—melodic songwriting, tight playing, and a willingness to experiment with traditional song structures. In short, these guys are awesome.
