“We’re like the fog. Sometimes we show up where you least expect us.”
Baby, a 5-year-old border collie wearing a hot pink spiked collar, trots next to Orc as he describes the story behind each T-shirt design hanging on the wall, including a bootleg Run the Jewels graphic . Their most popular item is a Bay Area metal logo that they also sell on patches, pins and cloth masks.
I'm with the band: Baby, a 5-year-old border collie, hangs out in Hemorage's performance space in the Bayview.“We were eating dinner one night, and [Orc] looked down into a bowl of pho and imagined this curved Golden Gate Bridge,” Pak said. Orc scribbled the warped design on a napkin, and Pak went home and sketched it out later that night. It’s become a ubiquitous symbol of the local scene, adorning scrappy denim jackets and beanies at shows.Since they built the DIY stage in the converted bus parked outside of the warehouse, they’ve played more than 50 shows throughout the Bay Area.
But that doesn’t mean they haven’t had their fair share of challenges along the way. Hemorage and Savage People faced eviction at their original headquarters in Oakland when a new landlord bought the building and “tried to kick everybody out,” Orc said.

It’ll announce the location on the date of each show, but it plans to host pop-ups and play other surprise gigs along the way, Orc said.
