I looked up what the symbol for 20th anniversary was and it said: "traditional gift is china, and the modern 20-year anniversary gift is platinum." Well for 20 years of Hightower, Im hoping all their albums go triple platinum and the band gets a world tour ending in China. Dave Fallis, Jake Palladino, Shane Medanich have all three been bros for days and their band Hightower has been 'instrumental' in many a SF party and beyond. Listen up kids, we're talking Robstock, the 1040 house where it all began, bbq's and skating on the road, from touring with S.T.R.E.E.T.S. to opening for Bad Brains, phone calls from Halsey, Magnethead, Weibust, and Sean John... there's a lot going into this one, but I'll let you decide what the highlights are. Listen up and when you're done, head over to Bandcamp and get some of if not all their tunes. This is HIGHTOWER!!!
