The 'Psychotic Reaction' band keeps the dream alive Friday, July 17, at the Little Fox in Redwood City
THE 1960s are long forgotten by some, but San Jose’s garage legends Count Five remain standing. No one would ever have thought they would still be here more than 40 years later. In that sense, you got it wrong; they got it right: They’re still around. More
