The Lighting Section is a San Francisco based alt/shoegaze band formed in 2022. Never satisfied to stick to one genre for too long, The Lighting Section made their debut with a one-two punch of singles that travel from indie to shoegaze to darkwave to alternative, all in ten and a half minutes. Their first EP, “Put a Quarter in the Washing Machine”, was released August 4th, 2023 and continues the musical whiplash while maintaining their affinity for dissonance and harmony-laden 90’s flair. In 2024, the band hit the studio and put two more singles on wax, the bordering-on-hardcore "Washing Machine" and their take on The Cleaners From Venus's "Only a Shadow". Known for over the top, DIY Halloween shows and dubious covers, The Lighting Section always brings a high energy performance while balancing levity with introspection and anxious themes that's good for moshing, listening from the bar, and everything in between. The Lighting Section is Rosemary Campbell, Cesar Chavez, Travis Dickey, and Will Dundon.
