Bay Area Band the Y Axes Met in SF State Japanese Class

DAILY CALIFORNIAN (UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY) -- Almost a decade ago, at San Francisco State University, Alexi Belchere and Devin Nelson met in a Japanese class, became friends and discovered their birthdays were a day apart. Several years later, in 2011, they inaugurated their new band, the Y Axes, with a “Birthday Space Prom,” to celebrate. They’ve been writing and releasing their unique brand of indie pop rock with its blend of sci-fi and other futuristic elements ever since.
