Our friends Cuban Cigar Crisis have released a new single entitled “Say I Will” – available for your listening pleasure. It’s a warm mix of feel good tones and the unmistakable lyrics of CCC!
San Francisco indie locals KIWI TIME have released their 6th music video for the single “Feel You Tonight”. Once again the band was able to generate fabulously produced video with almost no budget; adding to their mystique as SF’s true DIY masters. The video was filmed by the students of the Academy of Art for their graduation project. The song was produced by touted SF Psych producer Charles Gonzalez (Sonny and the Sunsets, Blank Tapes, Coo Coo Birds), mixed and mastered by Felix Melamed (Russian Solution).
Lead singer Anna Makovchik had this to say about the collaboration: “We are proud that our song has been gaining attention in a variety of great local music scenes, including LIVE 105′s recent BFD Local Bands Competition and SF Station’s The Lineup contest. We know that the video for “Feel You Tonight” is a big reason why the song has gained so much exposure and we would like to thank Genaro Camarena who brought it to life.”
To download “Feel You Tonight” for FREE visit the band’s website kiwitimeband.com. Also, be sure to check out their new project “KiWi TIME life” – a video series which follows the band’s life behind the scenes.
About the band:
KIWI TIME is a band of four childhood friends who grew up in a small town in Belarus and moved to San Francisco, chasing their dream to be the #1 band on the planet! Their energy blows away everything in its way, delivering true happiness and joy to the hearts of their listeners.
Winners of the ArtRockX band competition and finalists of Hard Rock Rising SF, KIWI TIME have wasted no time getting acquainted with their surroundings. For 2 years they have played more than 60 shows and festivals in the Bay Area, Los Angeles and New York City. As a result the band was featured on Live 105′s Top Ten Local Bands in San Francisco.
In April KIWI TIME signed a sponsorship contract with Baynetwork Inc. Now the band is working on their 2nd EP that will be introduced to the world in July 2013!

The newly expanded music networking, rehearsal and recording facility off of Piner Road has made some great strides to build the local community up after a previous city council attempted to extinguish the fire that was built in the 90′s by the local scene.
