Rock folk teaching local youth

Neat story in San Diego CityBeat: School of Rock: The nightcrawlers who tend to San Diego’s young’ uns

It’s surprising how much of San Diego’s alternative music scene is involved in shaping San Diego’s young minds. Dean Primicias, guitarist for up-and-comers The Shrines, is a school psychologist in East County. Waterline Drift guitarist Greg Gibson teaches guitar lessons to youngsters. Tim Reece of Via Satellite works with foster kids.

There are a whole lot of bands mentioned: Out Brief Candle, Channing Cope, The Shrines, Waterline Drift, Via Satellite, The Plot to Blow Up the Eiffel Tower, Billy Midnight, Mal Duce, This Holiday Life, The Dragons, Wise Monkey Orchestra, The Damn Dirty Apes and Elijah Emanuel and the Revelations, Static Halo, Rookie Card, and The Dropscience.

Kind of cool stuff.
