Big Scout

**Big Scout** is a San Francisco-based indie rock duo known for their scrappy, surf-tinged garage pop and tongue-in-cheek storytelling. Comprised of Katy Goodman (of Vivian Girls/La Sera fame) and Sarah Rose Janko (Dawn Riding), the pair formed in 2020, blending jangly guitars, deadpan humor, and DIY energy into tracks that feel like a sarcastic love letter to millennial ennui. Their music—like recent releases *DONUT*, *Mr. Slice*, and *Bloke Schultz*—often pokes fun at modern absurdities, from gym culture to awkward social interactions, all wrapped in catchy, lo-fi hooks. With a vibe that’s equal parts California sun and sardonic wit, Big Scout’s songs (including 2023’s *Push Up* and *Nothing Ever Happens*) revel in life’s small, weird moments, making them a go-to for fans of playful, self-aware indie rock.
