Backseat Beat

  1. After a hard year of acing chemistry, we're gearing up for summer, digging through our drawers for that bikini we bought last August, maybe a little white lipstick, and our ancient tube of Bain du Soleil. Nothing says summer like kicking back and sipping warm PBR on a blanket while picking sand out of your sandwich. Yeah, that does sound nice... Too bad nine days out of ten this summer we'll be freezing our asses off, wrapped in six layers, knowing

    Now, we don't know about you, but back in high school we didn't have a lot of experience with filled-out rich bitch popularity queens, jocks in corvettes, or vaguely racist portrayals of exchange students. When we were 16, our main priorities in life were pretending we already knew how to smoke cigarettes and trying to seduce Robbie Ascalon with some strategically requested Color Me Badd at our birthday party. We just kind of figured everyone's high

  5. A pair of lady roommates strumming ukuleles and harmonizing sweetly on neo-thirties love songs — what could be more innocent than that? As it turns out, pretty much anything. Don't be fooled by the doe eyes. Hate Factory turned out to be our girls-gone-wildest ride yet. But then again what do you expect from a back seat full of girls who subscribe to the bonobo school of conflict resolution? Apparently the Downer Party's Sierra Frost doesn't just

Created by Brad Robertson Plus

Backseat Beat is more than just an old Volvo and a handful of Flip cameras. In each episode San Francisco itself becomes a character, whether it’s through conducting the interviews in a moving car where the city passes by behind the heads of our subjects, to superimposing time-lapse footage of the passing neighborhoods, to searching out unexpected and forgotten urban corners where bands can perform in an unusual environment.

Backseat Beat is more than just an old Volvo and a handful of Flip cameras. In each episode San Francisco itself becomes a character, whether it’s through conducting the interviews in a moving car where the city passes by behind the heads of our subjects, to superimposing time-lapse footage of the passing neighborhoods, to searching out unexpected and forgotten urban corners where bands can perform in an unusual environment. We use our cameras and each band’s musical performances to transform places like a stretch of shoreline littered with old tires, rusted out abandoned warehouses, or repurposed shipping containers from their anonymous day to day existence into surreal, magical backdrops, to be shared on this site and elsewhere.
