The SF based band who describe their sound as "soulful music from outer space" have been on tour in support of 2012's Myth pretty much since it's release and Saturday night Geographer brought their dream pop rock to Bimbo's 365 Club.






















The crowd was still situating into the shoe-gazey scene enjoying "Verona" off of  2010's Animal Shapes, when the usually modest Michael Deni dropped an F-bomb before the song ended. Explicitly inviting San Francisco fans to "bring it to the mother f#cking floor" for the last show of their tour Deni was obviously and understandably excited.

Who wouldn't be? In January Geographer kicked off their tour at San Francisco's most culturally historic concert venue The Fillmore before hitting the road playing across the States then up into Canada. Now, almost a year later here they were playing a sold-out show at Bimbo's 365 Club, easily one of if not the swankiest place in SF to see a live show.

Following the fan fav ditty Life of Crime was a more poppy version of Paris and Geographer carried on alternating songs from their 2012 & 2010 albums for a good first half of the show. Deni did a good job connecting with the less active crowd without pausing for typical band banter. For instance  prepping fans for his theatric stage dive during Kites, the most well received song of the night.

 Ending their current tour in the city they now call home, Geographer's artistic allure was seamlessly translated at Bimbo's 365 Club with impeccable lighting and almost un-blemished sound.

 Working on new material while touring Geographer will surely hit the road yet again upon the arrival of their 4th album.
