Description

Suppose someone said there was a band that could combine the sound of the Pixies, X, Tom Waits and Johnny Cash. Would anyone believe it? Probably not, until they heard the Famous. This San Francisco band is regularly saddled with the Americana label, which I guess is technically accurate, but fails to explain that this band's heart is in indie rock. Like Alejandro Escovedo and many an indescribable band out of Austin, the rootsy facet of their music (while sincere) is just part of a heady rock 'n' roll cocktail spiked with whatever it takes to get across the passion, angst and raw emotion in their songs. - Steve Palopoli sanjose.com
