Friday night was a busy one for DNA Lounge as downstairs they were performing the interactive spoof Terminator Too Judgement Play. As intrigued as I was about that, I went straight upstairs to the Above DNA stage, to catch an evening of fantastic music that included everything from acoustic, punk, indie, folk rock, and much more. We arrived early to catch Dead Frets start the night off. Dead Frets is the alter-ego musical work of Jared Stinson whom you might know from his work in his punk band, Sic Waiting. This past summer Dead Frets were out on the Drunks Go Acoustic Tour so it was nice to see him stop in to San Francisco.
Jared brings to life his emotions through acoustic song and his great voice. He also performed one of his Sic Waiting songs and you could see hints of his punk persona peaking out. He is a story teller as well and I like the fact that he makes the audience feel as if you are sitting at your house and your friend pulls out his guitar and plays songs for you, making everyone feel comfortable and right at home. Check out the photos of his set by Rockin Ryan:
Also, you can check out a couple videos of his set and you can pick up his album, Sell Silence through his bandcamp page here: http://deadfretssuck.bandcamp.com/.
You can catch Dead Frets on tour now with Divided Heaven on the Younglbood West Coast Tour. Also check out our coverage of Divided Heaven here. Take a look at the remaining show dates and see if you can make it to a show. Make sure to also visit his social media sites and stay up to date on his latest news.
