The Microblades

San Diego’s The Microblades sound like a time capsule cracked open and rewired—sunbaked harmonies, cinematic storytelling, and guitars that shimmer like heat off pavement. Their breakout single Cowboy crowned them with a 2024 San Diego Music Award. The band has carried their local momentum into national radio. Their single Around the Sun reached No. 29 on the Mediabase Top 40 Activator Chart, followed by Baby Legs, giving the band two consecutive Top 40 Activator singles. The Microblades have played the Viper Room, Chapman University's Flower Moon Festival, North Park Music Festival, and the City of Del Mar’s Twilight Concert Series. The band has grown into a regular presence at San Diego’s historic venues including The Music Box, SOMA San Diego, The Che Cafe, the Soda Bar, and The Casbah. The Microblades built their live identity in the grit of San Diego’s DIY scene, beginning with house shows bulging peak capacity, as well as turning forgotten spaces like freeway underpasses and alleyways into electric stages. From these unconventional beginnings, the band has shared bills with rising and established artists such as Frankie and the Witch Fingers, Kid Sistr, Emei, and Daring Greatly.
