Buzzed Lightbeer are San Francisco’s self-proclaimed champions of “slop rock”: loose, loud, beer-soaked guitar music built for sweaty rooms and singalongs. With scrappy anthems like “Cash Grab,” “Playing Rough” and “Speed Dial,” they’ve become a fixture on SF stages, sharing bills with Hot Flash Heat Wave and The Band Ice Cream.

Bloodsugar are an emo-grunge band from Chico, California, mixing ’90s grunge with early-2000s emo-pop. The lineup is Lys Lourdes (vocals), Christian Crandall (guitar), Joe Stone (drums) and Jordan Wiley (bass). The name, spelled as one word, comes from Lys’s blood sugar, which drops easily, and it became a metaphor for the band’s emotional highs and lows. They released their debut single “Conditions” in 2025, followed by “Holden Caulfield” and the EP Gut Feeling. 

For Horses are a San Francisco band making scrappy, hook-driven indie rock for the city’s DIY scene. With songs like “Trophy Wife,” “GrrlBand” and “Keys / Spider,” they bring playful energy and sharp edges to every set, and their invitation is simple: “neigh neigh, come see us play.”
