Local Indie bands Limerence and Andy Marcus performed at a backyard show in Pomona, California, on October 16th.\u00a0 The show was free and drew a crowd of around 150 at its peak, with everyone, including the audience and band members, sporting extravagant Halloween costumes.<\/p>\n
Local Indie bands popped up on the scene in early 2024, but both have been booked and busy since. Since then, the indie rock band Andy Markus, made up of Andy Andrade, Kota Guerra and Roberto Ramos, has played 15 shows, 3 out of town, and independently recorded its debut feature-length album, \u201cJune\u2019s Audience.\u201d Limerence has also followed a very similar path.<\/p>\n
The all-girl group, Eliot Cooper, Sophie Cooper, Scarlett Cuhendis-Klass, and Maxine Milton, is known for its heartfelt, raw sound. The band has not released any music on streaming platforms yet, so if you want to hear their sound, the only way is to come to one of their shows. They\u2019ve also played 15 shows since their debut, and this was their first time playing out of Bakersfield.<\/p>\n
Milton, the group\u2019s drummer and backup vocalist, said the experience was enjoyable and the show was great, but admitted there was some initial nervousness about playing outside the band\u2019s hometown. \u201cHonestly, we were kind of concerned about first impressions and really hitting hard at the show, but everybody was super super nice and welcoming and it\u2026 warmed our hearts to see how supportive everyone was\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
She also stated that for any local musician thinking of playing a show out of town, it is attainable and credits the power of social media as a very valuable tool to achieve this goal. \u201cWith social media, the world is your oyster,\u201d said Milton. \u201cI know it can be kind of intimidating\u2026 but it\u2019s also such a great tool for networking and \u2026 making connections that you wouldn\u2019t have been able to make otherwise.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Local Indie bands Limerence and Andy Marcus performed at a backyard show in Pomona, California, on October 16th.\u00a0…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":521063,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[151,153,152],"class_list":["post-521062","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-bakersfield","tag-bakersfield","tag-bakersfield-headlines","tag-bakersfield-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/521062","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=521062"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/521062\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/521063"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=521062"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=521062"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=521062"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
