- California is a huge state with the highest population. The higher the population, the more people you have doing anything you can imagine.
- California is a leading entertainment state in the nation, if not the world.
- Rock bands are loud and annoying, especially when they first start out. It is hard to have a rock band when you live in an apartment or a very dense neighborhood. Most Californians live in houses with garages, which mitigates the annoyance factor. If you live in an apartment you can rent an expensive rehearsal space, or even a storage unit to rehearse. All of this is true throughout

The Eagles
In 1971, singer Linda Ronstadt was looking for a backup band, enlisting studio musicians Don Henley and Glenn Fry, among others. This assemblage helped Ronstadt make her eponymous album, and then Henley and Fry formed The Eagles or simply, Eagles. Released in 1972, their first album included the hit singles “Take It Easy,” “Witchy Woman” and “Peaceful Easy Feeling.” Desperado, their second release, soon followed with more hits, “Tequila Sunrise” and “Desperado.” Along the way, the band added guitarist Joe Walsh, who can rip on the guitar like the devil, evidence of which can be found

Punk rock has a long tradition in California.
Here is a brief list of some significant contributors to the genre that have recorded songs with California (or places within CA) as a theme.
The Dead Kennedys
Black Flag
Circle Jerks
X
The Gun Club
The Leaving Trains
Flipper
The Avengers
Green Day
Rancid
Blink 182
Bad Religion
No contest. America’s Band. The Beach Boys.
California is the most populated state, so it follows that there would be more bands from there than any other state.
A lot of bands in the 'chill-wave' genre would qualify, such as:
Washed Out: http://www.myspace.com/thebabeinthewoods
Beach House: http://www.myspace.com/beachhousemusic
Neon Indian: http://www.myspace.com/neonindian
and definitely Wavves
Where do I start?
I’m a huge financial nerd, and have spent an embarrassing amount of time talking to people about their money habits.
Here are the biggest mistakes people are making and how to fix them:
Not having a separate high interest savings account
Having a separate account allows you to see the results of all your hard work and keep your money separate so you're less tempted to spend it.
Plus with rates above 5.00%, the interest you can earn compared to most banks really adds up.

Overpaying on car insurance
You’ve heard it a million times before, but the average American family still overspends by $417/year on car insurance.
If you’ve been with the same insurer for years, chances are you are one of them.
Pull up Coverage.com, a free site that will compare prices for you, answer the questions on the page, and it will show you how much you could be saving.
That’s it. You’ll likely be saving a bunch of money. Here’s a link to give it a try.
Consistently being in debt
If you’ve got $10K+ in debt (credit cards…medical bills…anything really) you could use a debt relief program and potentially reduce by over 20%.
Here’s how to see if you qualify:
Head over to this Debt Relief comparison website here, then simply answer the questions to see if you qualify.
It’s as simple as that. You’ll likely end up paying less than you owed before and you could be debt free in as little as 2 years.
Missing out on free money to invest
It’s no secret that millionaires love investing, but for the rest of us, it can seem out of reach.
Times have changed. There are a number of investing platforms that will give you a bonus to open an account and get started. All you have to do is open the account and invest at least $25, and you could get up to $1000 in bonus.
Pretty sweet deal right? Here is a link to some of the best options.
Having bad credit
A low credit score can come back to bite you in so many ways in the future.
From that next rental application to getting approved for any type of loan or credit card, if you have a bad history with credit, the good news is you can fix it.
Head over to BankRate.com and answer a few questions to see if you qualify. It only takes a few minutes and could save you from a major upset down the line.

Hope this helps! Here are the links to get started:

What are some good songs/bands that are California-centric?
(1) "Still in Hollywood" by Concrete Blonde
(2) “Too Bad About Your Girl” by The Donnas
From the 1980's, Night Ranger. One of their best songs from that era was "Sentimental Street", which, according to singer Jack Blades, he wrote about San Francisco.
Recently, they released an album and a song called "Growing Up in Califormia".
They do have a sunny vibe in their music.
I think Wax fits that, at least literally.
