Angela Chase

Angela Chase is not a bunch of scrawny twenty-year olds from Brooklyn; Angela Chase is an all-girl three piece from San Francisco playing songs influenced by the Breeders, Fugazi, Hum and the Pixies. Another way to describe Angela Chase is to say that three girls in their twenties decided to name their band after a fifteen-year-old girl from the nineties and play music for the parts of their hearts that are still fifteen. Sonya Trejo's drums sound like John Bonham trying to kill Stephen Morris, Imogen Binnie's guitars go from Ian MacKaye chug to Explosions in the Sky glisten, and Alicia Especialista's rad ass bass lines make the songs. Angela Chase has shared stages (including Fabulosa Fest and San Francisco Pride) with bands from the Shondes to Girl in a Coma, Athens Boys Choir, Von Iva and Hottub.
