Bay Area instrumental rock band Wander perform at The Independent

June 21, 2023

Tuesday night in San Francisco had us at The Indendent and it was quite a night of 3 spectacular sets! The Dirty Nil were performing with Daniel Romano’s Outfit. Kicking the night off was local Bay Area instrumental rock band Wander. Being an avid devotee of lyrics and vocalists, I didn’t know what to expect with an instrumental band. What a great surprise Wander turned out to be! These guys can truly rock! They delivered a mesmerizing blend of progressive, heavy shredding rock with streaks of shoegaze and 90’s vibes. Combined it was a winning combination that had me glued to their set. Their stage presence was full of energy and had the crowd cheering after each song. I was hooked and have now added them to some of my favorite newly discovered bands.
