They didn't set out to revolutionize the genre, but rather to serve the time-honored, high-octane melodies that defined generations. Their music, akin to the hearty satisfaction of burgers and fries, permeates the dive bars of San Francisco and fuels the city's insatiable appetite for rock.They are the rock band San Francisco deserves, echoing the city’s resilience and eclectic spirit.In 2015, they traded the desert heat of Phoenix for the vibrant pulse of San Francisco, lured by the legendary music scene. Their arrival was a counterpoint to the exodus of artists fleeing the tech industry's encroachment and the soaring cost of living. Unfazed by the intimidating rents and steep prices, The Breakfast Pigs remained steadfast in their blue collar pursuit of their musical dreams.
