I hear one of the members of Coyol is from Bakersfield. Our Traffik editor is from Bakersfield. Bullet and Snowfox has gotten some press here on Traffik. I caught them at Club Moscow when they were playing along with The Mulhollands. I caught Group Love at Bootleg. They had the place packed. I was at a birthday party when The Americans took the stage. Awesome stuff. I saw a number of the bands on this list at The Smell. As I write this up, I have the urge to head on down there.
