Flashback: Revisit our East Bay-only mixtape from 2011
Reflecting is always a worthwhile exercise, especially when it comes to music scenes and bands. So join us today and listen to a mixtape from The Bay Bridged that went live four years ago featuring only East Bay acts. The track listing is an awesome mix of still-active and retired groups — all of whom will provide some ear-candy for those of us feeling a little nostalgic today. http://media.libsyn.com/media/thebaybridged/East_Bay_Only_Mixtape.mp3 Here's the text from the 2011 post: This podcast episode is part mixtape and part mea culpa. Even though our name is The Bay Bridged, we periodically get people calling us [...]

Video: Lumerians – "Life without Skin"
The latest song from Oakland's Lumerians (following "The Bloom" and "Dogon Genesis") comes in the form of this Waylon Bacon-directed video for "Life without Skin." The song is a mutating piece of heady psych rock, while the visuals offer some surprisingly affecting suspense. The High Frontier comes out on August 6th and the band is performing in Oakland with Clipd Beaks and 3 Leafs this Saturday night.
Lumerians share "Dogon Genesis" off of upcoming LP, due to be released 8/6/2013
The space rock wanderers of Lumerians are suited up and nearly ready for the August 6th release of their sophomore LP, The High Frontier. Having already dropped the record's first single in the form of "Bloom," the band recently released a second track from the album, titled "Dogon Genesis." While the song is lifted out of the atmosphere by a lazer-like opener and a ringing keyboard organ mid-section, it remains firmly anchored to earth with gritty guitar riffs, offering a six-minute sonic experience that bridges retro and futuristic sounds.
Video: Lumerians – "Laser Barn"
As we head toward the weekend, enjoy this delightfully frantic performance of "Laser Barn" by Lumerians. The song comes from the Horizon Structures EP, but the band's newest album, The High Frontier, arrives stateside in August.
