The evolution of Bad Weather California is not nearly as important as the one that spawned man from a single cell organism but, in some ways, is equally as impressive. 

The Denver quartet, releasing their new album, Sunkissed, this Saturday at the Hi-Dive, started many years ago as a much smaller, barely recognizable version of its current form. 

At its earliest inception, Bad Weather California was known as the Love Letter Band, the brain-child of frontman Chris Adolf.

Calling Grand Junction their home at the time, The Love Letter Band occupied basements, art galleries, bagel shops and any where else that would have them — playing a quirky and tinkering brand of indie-rock that featured toy pianos, trumpets and even saws. 

Several different lineup and a name change later, Bad Weather California has evolved into a full fledged rock band, playing a spaced-out blend of psychedelic throwback and progressive punk. 

Sunkissed, while marking yet another direction musically for the band is an important career step for the band as well as it is being released on Akron/Family Tree Records.
