The Juliana Theory reunion tour is coming to SF!

By Dave | Published: March 4, 2010
Kerry passed on some info about The Juliana Theory coming to San Francisco in August! They’re another one of my favorite bands and I’m sad I’ve never gotten to see them. There’s a few things that surprised me. 1.) They broke up 10 years ago. 2.) I had no idea they were on a reunion [...]
