Melbourne-based, American ex-pat musician, Michael Beach, played his debut album, Blood Courses, in its entirety, to a crowd of friends and strangers at Grant and Green in San Francisco on Sunday night.

Michael Beach is the lead singer and guitarist of the Electric Jellyfish and this is his first solo effort. The Jellies are on their 2nd USA tour and I saw them at Hemlock in San Francisco and Luigi’s Pizza in Sacramento—both amazing shows. The band has really come into their own since their last tour.

Blood Courses is described as “a haunting exploration of life, death, beauty, and darkness that unfolds as much as the listener allows it.” The album cover is an unfinished painting by my friend Bridget O’Brien and the website was designed by yours truly.

The full album is available for listing at michaelbeach.org/listen or you can check out my favorite single below:
