Formed in 2006, this trio has exploded on the San Francisco scene with their quirky mix of disco keyboards, screaming guitars, catchy vocals and solid drums.
As a three piece, each member takes on multiple roles. Singer Jason Heiselmann seamlessly switches between baritone guitar, drums, keyboards, and singing -- sometimes all in the same song -- and guitarist Roland Curtis is known to play his guitar and keyboard at the same time. Drummer Chris Crawford stays locked on the drums, his signature BOOM! creating the backbone of their sound. Whether they're playing in a sweaty house party basement or in front of hundreds of people, French Miami's raucous live performance commands the dance floor.
In late December 2007, French Miami will be touring the east coast, playing dates in New York, Boston, Philly and Montreal.
Upcoming releases include two EPs that were recorded with Phil Manley(Trans Am, The Fucking Champs) due out later in the year.

"I've just discovered my new favorite SF band, French Miami. Yes, the lead singer/guitarist/keyboard-player is a friend of friends, but that's not why I'm so enthusiastic. It's because the band, who played at Fat City last night, plays kickass rock-n-roll with a punkrock edge that kept me dancing (and jumping up and down) the whole set. (Which, by the way, was a relief. Because I hate that avoiding-them-so-you-don't-have-to-lie-and-say-they-were-good thing.) And the drummer, who looks like he's having more fun than you ever will, played some of the most interesting and suprising beats I've heard in a long time -- and certainly from a local band. So go visit them at their website, and tell them to play more often, damnit. " - NOISE
