COPE 10TH ANNIVERSARY 
LIVE AT THE EARL 
THE ALBUM AND THE FILM OUT NOW

The roots of Grapefruit Lore can be traced back to the fall of 2011, when founders Preston J. Walker and Mattan Cohen began collaborating as college freshmen.  They wrote and recorded their first songs in Mattan's dorm room, amidst a healthy surrounding of cracked out roommates, angry RA's and endless stampedes of sorority girls through the hallways (who elected, on almost all occasions, to pass by rather than stop by the open door).

In 2014, Mattan and Preston added bassist/vocalist Emily McCrite to the lineup and christened the newly minted trio "Grapefruit Lore".  After working with producers/engineers Cal Campbell and John DeBold, their debut EP, "Camp Debacle", is now available on Soundcloud and Bandcamp.

49 square miles. Water on three sides. Two bridges. And one champion of Power Pop — The Real Numbers.

After years pursuing separate musical endeavors spanning the musical map, the songwriting duo of Dave Ambrose and Lawrence Grodeska have found their sweet spot in San Francisco. The pair met in 2008 through the digital wilds of Craigslist, both tired of the geek day job grind and dreaming of the same musical vision — part power pop, part quirky melodic rock, always tight, always tasty. Their shared love of powerful hooks, beautiful harmony and well-crafted compositions found a perfect compliment when veteran San Francisco pop maestro Chuck Lindo volunteered for bass and harmonies. Powerhouse percussionist Adam White completed their quest for the perfect rhythm section by punctuating tight arrangements behind lush chords and big melody.

The Real Numbers' debut album, "Welcome to the Numberhood", conjures an era of songwriting come and gone from commercial airwaves, but carried on by the likes of Fountains of Wayne, Ben Folds and The Feeling. Not afraid to embrace geekdom or plant tongue firmly in cheek, their smart yet smart-ass lyrics make mundane observations meaningful, amusing or both. 

The Real Numbers are riding high on accolades for their viral video sensation "Do the Wiggle!," a pop-paean to San Francisco's famous bicycle route. Half PSA, half goofy love letter to the beloved bikeway, the video has been featured on SFist, SF Weekly and the Huffington Post, among others, and The Real Numbers performed the song live on KFOG's World Famous Morning Show.
