San Francisco has got to be one of the best cities for concert-goers. On Wednesday (June 5), we planned to see the Crystal Fighters at Great American Music Hall, but unfortunately it was sold out; we made a quick decision to go just 7 blocks up to the street to The Fillmore for The Boxcar Rebellion, which made for a great show!

| The Boxer Rebellion at the Fillmore in SF |
The Boxer Rebellion is a British band formed in 2001 who has been consistently making music ever since. The band consists of 4 members, Nathan Nicholson (vocals, guitar), Todd Howe (lead guitar), Adam Harrison (bass guitar), and Peirs Hewitt (drums). They played a really impressive show. We had seen them last October at Austin City Limits and were impressed with how much better they sounded in a small venue as compared to an outdoor concert. TBR brought lots of energy and had good stage presence. The vocals were strong and almost haunting, they had a real rock feel to their sound. We were especially impressed by Todd Howe’s performance; he interacted with the fans and seemed very genuine. A real crowd-pleaser, to say the least.

The opening band, Fossil Collective, was just as captivating! Only three of their four members were present. The band traveled here from Leeds, in the UK. Last month, they released their first album, "Tell Where I Lie," and as they humbly mentioned, it “accidentally made it to #1 on the charts”. Their sound was different without the drummer, comparing it to an “unplugged” feel. They too seemed really genuinely happy to be there. Fossil Collective will be back to San Francisco in November with their full band and looking forward to seeing them again!
