Tuxedomoon
When two students at San Francisco City College met in 1977 they threw together a band called TuxedoMoon and started playing differnet spaces like Salons while their following quickly grew. Eventually they ended up breaking out by opening for Devo and getting signed to The Residents’ label Ralph Records. Thirty years later they are still going strong, (despite moving to Rotterdam to be a part of the electronic music scene there), they are still on tour and released their anniversary album in 2007. All San Francisco bands take note! You don’t have to start here, move to New York and then break up two years later. You can stay here and play music for thirty years and still get on the Downtown 81 Soundtrack. Okay, maybe that sort of thing only happened in the Seventies but.. please?
