Backseat Beat Extra: The SHE’S “Picture of Houses”

Driving them around in the back seat, The SHE’S may have giggled their way through Supremes tunes and reminisced about kindergarten gummy bears, but they tore it up on Potrero Hill, rocking through a couple songs as the wind threatened to blow us all off the slope. The SHE’S performed their song “Picture of Houses” during Episode 11 (part 2), which was originally published on The Bay Bridged on May 24, 2011.

Episode 11: The SHE’S, part 2

Sammy, Hannah, Eva, & Sinclair of the the She’s.

After a hard year of acing chemistry, we’re gearing up for summer, digging through our drawers for that bikini we bought last August, maybe a little white lipstick, and our ancient tube of Bain du Soleil. Nothing says summer like kicking back and sipping warm PBR on a blanket while picking sand out of your sandwich. Yeah, that does sound nice… Too bad nine days out of ten this summer we’ll be freezing our asses off, wrapped in six layers, knowing there’s no way in hell we’re going to stick one toe in the water at Ocean Beach. But it’s not a total loss—bands like The SHE’S are writing songs that are so perfect for summer, they’ll keep us warm while we’re holed up in our apartments, fighting back the fog.

Episode 11: The SHE’S, part 1

Eva Treadway of the She’s.

Now, we don’t know about you, but back in high school we didn’t have a lot of experience with filled-out rich bitch popularity queens, jocks in corvettes, or vaguely racist portrayals of exchange students. When we were 16, our main priorities in life were pretending we already knew how to smoke cigarettes and trying to seduce our junior year crush with some strategically requested Color Me Badd at our birthday party. We just kind of figured everyone’s high school experience was like that, until we heard that not only have The SHE’S already played the same shitty dive bars we’ve played, and not only have they already played venues we could only dream about playing, like the Fillmore, but that they’re also only 16, for chrissakes.

Hate Factory

Backseat Beat Extra: Hate Factory’s “Fall Through The Night”

Hate Factory’s name is a little scary, their sugary harmonies are totally sweet, and their potty-mouthed screeds could make Richard Pryor want to crawl in a hole. They performed “Fall Through the Night” on location in San Francisco as part of Episode 10, part 2, originally published on The Bay Bridged on April 26, 2011.

Sierra & Katelyn harmonizing in Hate Factory.

Hate Factory is like that pajama party gone bad—you know the one. It starts out innocently enough with hair braiding and prank calls. Then, a few hours after the lights go out, your underwear is in the freezer, your hand is in a glass of warm water, and the pizza delivery guy’s been duct-taped to your dad’s La-Z-Boy. And while you may end up spending your next month’s allowance on a cleaning service and tips for the pizza guy, you’re happy as hell to be invited just the same.

Sierra shares her secret for making it big with Jaime and Sierra.

A pair of lady roommates strumming ukuleles and harmonizing sweetly on neo-1930s love songs—what could be more innocent than that? As it turns out, pretty much anything. Don’t be fooled by the doe eyes. Hate Factory turned out to be our girls-gone-wildest ride yet. But then again what do you expect from a back seat full of girls who subscribe to the bonobo school of conflict resolution? Continue reading Episode 10: Hate Factory, Part 1 →

Backseat Beat Extra: Social Studies’ “You Still Laughing”

Episode 9 found us cruising the streets of San Francisco with Social Studies, blushing at their scandalous tales of tour life and its attendant nudity. The band also rocked a couple of excellent tunes out en plein air in John McClaren Park. This video of Social Studies performing “You Still Laughing” was originally published on The Bay Bridged on March 22, 2011.

Jessie of Social Studies.
Jessie of Social Studies.

The smell emanating from the back of the van, the bitching and moaning about how your stash of expired Slim Jims has mysteriously disappeared, the license-plate game for the nth fucking time, passing the last rest stop for 150 miles just before that last beer hits your bladder. It’s like Vacation all over again. The real question on our minds here at Backseat Beat headquarters is not which member of Social Studies would play Clark Griswold, but rather, what the hell did happen to that stack of nudie books this high?
