As we all know, the city struggles to maintain a hearty roster of all-ages arts and entertainment spaces. Well, Wiretap Music is definitely fed up with the current lackthereof, and is holding a benefit tomorrow night at Thee Parkside in order to spur our community into acting on this issue. Starting at 3pm, All Together Now enlists Religious Girls , electro-post-punkers Clipd Beaks , Grand Lake and a handful of [...]

If you are a Bay Area resident or watch a little television, you've probably noticed that the Bay Area is a place that embraces the eccentric and unusual. Even our oddness is somewhat peculiar in its diversity. This unique offbeat nature plays out in some interesting ways in Bay Area culture. You see it at elaborately whimsical house parties thrown by tech-industry residents. You see it in the diverse range of punks, hipsters, and unclassifiables hanging out in Delores Park on pretty much any day of the week. You taste it when you order creme brulee from a cart or [...]
They're loud, they're rambunctious, and they'll get you jumping all over the place in a matter of seconds. Casy & Brian sound like the energized result of the Blood Brothers meeting the Beastie Boys, who met up with Pennywise, who happened to be chilling with At The Drive-In. Casy & Brian's new LP, Catbees, is a [...]

You know the deal, check out the track, if you like it, well go visit the bands myspace and see what they are made of! Sadly, I am still trying to play catch-up with my emails. So here are some more goodies that I have discovered while skimming through the good old inbox! : Divisible [mp3] : Divisible - Love Is The Cost | myspace Empire State Human [...]
Spazz-rock act Casy & Brian made the record they wanted to hear (as said within the first minute of the album). Good for them. But that's not enough if they want to grab the attention of people who don't have short attention spans. The album Catbees runs only 18 minutes with 10 tracks that run no longer than 3 minutes. Strikingly similar to The Mae Shi and The Blood Brothers , Casy & Brian are undoubtedly fun with arm flailing inducing songs like Animal Calls N' [...]
The say that Catbees, the new album from Casy and Brian, is experimental would be an extreme understatement. The album is comprised of ten bursts of noise so short they make NOFX look like a Jam Band.The songs are a combination of electronic music, rock, and the occasional island influence, bursting at the seams with handclaps and simple percussion. The problem is that all of these elements are
1. The Blacks - "Sunday Boys"2. Early Day Miners - "So Slowly"3. Shelley Short - "Time Machine Submarine"4. The Soft Pack - "Red Headed Girl"5. Casy & Brian - "House on Haunted Hill"6.

By the end of the year it will become common knowledge that Casy And Brian fucking rock. With drums, whistles, low octave keyboard hooks and memorable chants you can call them a gay-for-each-other Matt & Kim or a pair of Best Fwends who love to jam out on each others vibes, but at the end of the day it's just hearty music that I'd be proud to take an elbow in the chest or carry someone's body through the air twice my weight to. Cross country tour dates are up on the C&Bspace . [...]
Monday, August 3 Daniel Striped Tiger , Get Laid , Planned Communities , Alocoholocaust , Fruit Salad at Charlie's Kitchen ($6, 8:00, 21+) This show seems to be a bit of a clusterfuck right now. Not totally sure who's playing and who's not. It's most likely everyone is playing but don't be too surprised if you show up and Fruit Salad's not there. But this should still be a great show if only for ladykillers DST. Those dudes fucking rock . Totally worth going [...]
Charming nihilism. Intentional unimportance. Sarcastic oversimplification. Casy & Brian is not music for bashful people. It is a monument for hyperactivity and tough nerdiness, an exercise in being held accountable for your tastes and understanding them thoroughly. It is loud and exciting and exhausting to the ears. If you like their music, you're psyched. If you don't, you're bummed. And it seems like this ultimatum might just be their point. Their self-released LP Catbees is out now; look for the No Fiction 7" series to drop August 4th. http://www.myspace.com/casyand brian [...]
San Francisco's Casey & Brian are a hyper-punk duo consisting entirely of shout-out-loud vocals, drums and a keyboard (Casy & Brian share/alternate all three responsibilities). Their music sounds like equal parts Screeching Weasel, Matt & Kim, and Moldy Peaches. The duo's debut album, Catbees , collects 10 primarily animal-themed danceable electro-punk tracks of relentless drums and booming, incessant keys. Vocals are shouted aloud, with lyrics often tripping on top of other lyrics. Live, the formula is explosive and wide-eyed, and to their extreme credit, the album does an excellent job of capturing that energy. The opening track [...]
Another week of summer has come and gone. Depressing? Surely. But for readers of Consequence of Sound , each new week means a new Friday and each new Friday means a new edition of our Friday Mixtape. As always, below you will this week's mix of new singles, remixes, and covers, along with mp3s from some up-and-comers you just might want to check out. Enjoy! NEW Singles: "Born On A Day The Sun Didn't Rise" by Black Moth Super Rainbow "Basket" by [...]
Sometimes I like straight forward, in-your-face, rock songs. Nothing to complected, just simple music that is fun to dance and jump around too. It's really fucking hot here today, so jumping and dancing is not something I really feel like doing, but maybe if I listen to this song a few more times that will change. It's from San Francisco based, Casy and Brian , and I can't wait to see this live show. Casy and Brian - House on Haunted Hill (ZS)

The Meanest Boys - "I'll Take Whatever It Takes" Smash my door in, burn my couch, take a crap in my sink. Break all my old VHSs, leave wet black ribbons of The Lion King and Velvet Goldmine all over my cracked and crushed tile floors. Put my books in the microwave, my CDs in the toilet, throw my stupid posters out the window. Sell all my clothes for a high-five, pawn my computer for the price of the plastic it's made of, get as much as you can for my tube tv, you [...]
Love (<) Sons and Daughters - This Gift I find myself constantly forgetting what this band even sounds like, and that's not because their music isn't good. I can't really figure it out. But that's certainly one reason the album isn't higher on my list. Sometimes I go with my gut. Well, I always do. Anyway, the music is catchy and dancy and the lyrics are totally "sing-a-long-in-your-car-on-yo ur-way-to-someplace" worthy. I think if they focused themselves they could come up with an [...]
So we come to that time of the year when the wild hordes head down to SXSW for a few days of revelling in the excitement and dopeness of the underground sounds, or at least that's the way we imagine it, a bit like that exotic bazaar where Conan of ...
