On the Saturday, August 8th edition of KALX Live! we have Remedy & Wren, hosted by Sunspot. Remedy and Wren will be joining sixteen stellar indie pop bands and DJs from across the land at SF Bay Popfest at Bottom of the Hill for four days of lineups August 20th-23rd! Tune in to hear the band performance and interview, and get the lowdown on SF Bay Popfest, brought to you by Oakland Weekender, Speakeasy Studios SF, and Slumberland Records, co-presented by KALX Berkeley and BFF.FM.
San Francisco based Remedy & Wren is the new project of producer and songwriter Alicia Vanden Heuvel, founding member of indie pop groups Poundsign and The Aislers Set. Band members feature Vanden Heuvel’s long-time collaborators: Tony Molina on guitar, Rebecca Barron (Poundsign, Kids On A Crime Spree) on drums, and Dan Lee (Scrabbel, The Aislers Set) on guitar. Vanden Heuvel sings, plays bass, piano, and records the band in her analog home studio, Speakeasy Studios SF, on Otari 8 track reel to reel tape.
Their first release, the self titled Remedy & Wren will be out late 2026. Featuring jangle pop songs influenced by birds, trees, a summer day, water, music made by humans and named in honor of two tree sitters “Remedy” and “Wren”, who occupied old growth trees for nearly a year, as a peaceful protest in the early 2000’s against the catastrophic logging practices of now bankrupt Pacific Lumber Company.
