One of the best new bands to watch and listen to this season is Sleepy Sun, the sextet from San Francisco. The musicians, friends, and lovers have come out with their first album entitled Embrace and have been met with exultations, especially after SXSW. Their psychedelic styled rock and roll tracks pull you in from the start of the album all the way through the finish. Even “White Dove”, a 9:23 minute song, is compatible with the ADHD in all of us.
With an album this high energy, I can’t wait to see what they do live. God, I love the harmonica.
Harvey Milk was the first openly gay man to be elected a public official in 1977 after San Francisco revised it’s election procedures to choose candidates based on neighborhoods instead of a city wide ballot. Sean Penn plays Harvey in the 2008 film Milk. Written by Dustin Lance Black and directed by Gus Van Sant, the story changed lives and changed the course of history. This Focus Feature is in theaters November 26th.
