Many readers liked our “OB”s coolest house” shot – a house almost at surf line on Pescadero that we ran last week.
Hundreds of readers clicked on it – 107 “likes”, and many had stories to tell.
Here is another photo – from 2008 we are told – some obvious improvements have been made:

Anyone know the name of the band?
Probably Titty Barmitzvah. Looks like Grant Clarkson playing bass and Ed Fletcher on drums. Both of them lived on that block in the 90s and played there often. They still live in OB. I can’t tell who else is playing, but my $ would be on Chris Johnson and Erik Kunzelman. Chris lived directly above this house in the Sunset Cruz Lounge and Erik lived next door. Chris now lives in Ventura and Erik is in West LA.
Ed lived above also.
2008 seems pretty recent for that crew to be playing there, so I may be wrong- but I have seen those guys play there in various groups at least a dozen times in the 90s.
