Cool Waves

About Me

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cool Waves was created to help bring together like-minded bands in the San Francisco Bay Area and Central California to help book shows and create some kind of community. It will allow bands to put a good bill together for local clubs or to put on their own shows. It gives bands a web presence if they don't have their own site. The public can use this as a jumping-off point to direct them to the bands that interest them.
