Cathedrals @ The Independent, San Francisco 2/28/15

San Francisco’s very own Cathedrals proved they are more than just hype by selling out two consecutive nights at the Independent for Noise Pop 2015. Johnny Whin and backing band filled the room with lush indie-electro grooves while Brodie Jenkins captivated the crowd with her mesmerizing stage presence and unforgettable voice.

Another band as a core duo, Silver Swans provided haunting electro pop. Singer Ann Yu was reunited on stage with her former LoveLikeFire bandmate, Dave Farrell on drums.
