+ Scunner

San Fran and the Siscos are unique in that the band line-up changes for every gig. With an attitude and feel reminisent of the Pixies meets Michael Marra meets Aztec Camera, they seek to entertain and to draw you in to the storyline of their songs. Enjoy.

Scunner continue with their genre hopping theatrical odyssey with no stone left unturned whether it's glam pop electro folk showtunes or to put it simply,'cabarock', the genre coined for them by brendan o hare......these guys never stay still long enough either onstage or with their songwriting for anyone to pin them down!
