SDSU Local Bands
There are several bands that are on the rise in San Diego. So many are coming from the SDSU community because there has been a recent increase in house shows around the campus. The culture is switching from frat parties with DJs to outdoor backyard concerts with live bands. Of course, the classic frat parties are still very much alive and well at State.
Some of this culture is due to the club Aztec Music Group. Starting last year, the club started having backyard shows with all student bands. Their first show debuting in December of 2021 featured 5 student bands and artists. There was a full stage along with lights. Each year the shows have gotten bigger with more production value. The artists who perform have had several opportunities that have come from these shows.
One artist that has really started to take off is Hannah Geller. Geller is a psychedelic rock artist who is also a San Diego State student. She has been performing at several shows in San Diego. She is a common performer at different SDSU shows, whether that is at a house party or official university events. In addition to her SDSU involvement, she has also been playing at local venues like Soda Bar in North park. Hannah Geller is only getting bigger as her rockin' music is being heard all around San Diego.
Another band that has risen in local success from SDSU is Supercool!. Supercool! is an eleven piece pop/funk band that brings a unique sound to the world of San Diego music. They have a five piece horn section which brings a lively sound to everything they do. Their first performance was on the Aztec Music Stage. Since then they have only been growing. Their first single "Therapy" was released on all streaming platforms in December of 2022. They've played several shows at The Holding Company, but most recently, they played at Cal Coast Amphitheater as an opener for T-Pain for the Greenfest Concert. They continue to grow and become more well known in San Diego as their talent is heard in all parts of the city.
