Boston’s You Can Be A Wesley is singer/guitarist Saara Untracht-Oakner, guitarist Winston Macdonald (above), bassist Nick Curran, and drummer Dylan Ramsey. Together, they are like the band next door.

When I first moved to SF, last fall, I learned of a Teengirl Fantasy/Pictureplane show at the Elbo Room and was stoked after listening to each artist.
