Now Playing...

STEREO FREAKOUT or SFO (not to be confused with San Francisco International Airport) is a hard-rock/funk group from the SF Bay Area, CA. The band's inception began in 2007, played it's first official gig in early 2008, and toured steadily in the greater bay area, surrounding cities, and southern CA until late 2010. SFO has shared the stage with 100's of bands & played numerous venues, including The Great American Music Hall, DNA Lounge, The Uptown, & the legendary Blake's on Telegraph. SFO has also played the San Leandro Sausage & Suds Festival in 2009 & 2010, as well as 21st Amendment's "Augustfest" 2017.
SFO recorded a self-produced demo in 2007, a 2 song EP at Cue Productions in Concord in 2008, their debut EP "If Wishes Were Fishes..." in 2009 at Popsmear Studios in San Rafael, & the "Bad Dog" sampler and full-length album "Next Round's On Me" 2015-16 at Crack Corn Studios in Hayward & Studio 132 in Oakland, CA. Two songs on the album were recorded in 2010 as a prize for winning the Gorilla Battle of the Bands in SF late 2009 & are included on the full-length .
About us
The band has gone through numerous incarnations with different musicians influencing their sound until settling on their solid line-up in 2015, featuring a permanent horn-section as well as secondary vocals. "Next Round's On Me" solidifies the sound of the band - a blend of rock, funk, jazz with odd time-signatures that is reminiscent of the 90's rock/funk scene with it's own fresh blend of vocals, harmonies, & lead on sax, trombone, & guitar. The "Bad Dog" video was filmed at Lake Chabot in San Leandro in 2014, & "The Englander" video filmed at (you guessed it) The Englander Sports Pub in San Leandro in 2015 by Nick Testa Productions. Both can both be found on Youtube.Stereo Freakout is continuing a residency at 21st Amendment in San Leandro started in Sept 2017 & hoping to be back on the Sausage & Suds stage this Oktober. SFO will also be at the Sonoma Raceway 50-Acre Campground Party again July 28th 2018 put on by Wizard Brewing.
