Super Fragile California, Silver Shores & Big Brave Dog

Super Fragile California is a 3 piece hard-pop post-punk band that tells musical stories of hope and
disaster. Formed in NYC and now based in the Bay Area, SFCa conveys the raw emotion, power, and
mood swings of their Soundcloud and Spotify releases. A compelling mix ages and genders, Super
Fragile California is guitarist vocalist Rob Smiley (Mrs. Big, Midnight Modeling Club), bass player Clark
Buckner (Friends of the Family, JPMW), and the ever-enigmatic KC on drums.
Super Fragile California released its presciently named debut album “Under the Weather“ in 2020,
mere months before the pandemic. 10 moody post-punk pop songs chart a course from folk to funk to
hip hop. (Wait, I thought you said they are post-punk?)
While under lockdown, their more guitar-oriented side project Mrs. Big took shape, and the world saw
the release of that project’s album “Despite Everything” in 2023. Back together now as Super Fragile
California, the band continues to perform and record, both as a solo act and band, not only on stages

in California, but also in places as far flung as NYC, Pittsburgh, and Dubai. Follow SFCa on Insta-
gram, as well as SuperFragileCalifornia.com where you can see our two newest videos for our latest

releases, “Hey” and “Hat”.

Emerging from the vibrant indie scene of Oakland, Silver Shores is an indie rock band that blends shimmering guitar riffs, introspective lyrics, and dynamic rhythms into a sound that’s both timeless and refreshingly modern. Formed in 2022, the band is currently composed of Andrew Magcale, Mario Amanzio, Jon Andrews, and Haley Shevener—each bringing their own unique influence, from indie and alternative to shoegaze and folk.

Their debut self-titled EP, released in December 2022, explores themes of personal growth, disillusionment, and the complexity of human connection, with standout tracks like Anew, Standstill, and Silencer, showcasing their signature blend of atmospheric soundscapes and punchy, anthemic choruses. Fans of artists like My Morning Jacket, Wild Nothing, The Shins, and Alvvays will find a home in Silver Shore's rich, layered instrumentation and evocative lyrics.

Big Brave Dog is a three-piece rock outfit from Oakland California. The members, Alec, Frank, and Roos, met in 2007 at the now defunct College of Santa Fe in New Mexico. They released The Abandoned Moon in 2019, and are set to release a follow up, Maple, That’s Fantastic, in April. Though the group is relatively new in its current form, the bond of the players is measured in decades of friendship. Their stated goal is to build community and unity through music, and to create an on-stage experience that is inclusive and engaging.
