While it may not have seemed like it on the site, on a personal level, this week was particularly chaotic. On Monday afternoon, my pride and joy, aka my Mac Book, succumbed to a mechanical problem of some sort, requiring an extended stint at the good old Apple store. And of course, just my luck, the whole thing went down during a very busy week. Fortunately the rest of the staff did a tremendous job this week, proving again that there is no I in team. To celebrate, and help me forget that I still am without my [...]
San Francisco electronica mavens Maus Haus will be releasing their latest record, Lark Marvels , at The Rickshaw Stop tonight. We haven't seen the band live, but if their tunes on myspace are any indication, it'll be a treat to catch them out and about. What's more, they'll be selling the release exclusively on vinyl this evening - a band after our own hearts! The show is all ages, so all you college folk really have no excuse: check it out!
Ground-breaking debut from San Francisco indie-experimentalists, Maus Haus. 12 songs in a variety of modes, often recalling 60s psych pop, krautrock, avant jazz, brian eno's pop albums, and cuddly electronic sounds. Recorded over the last year in San Francisco, the album contains 7 never-heard tracks & some re-recorded versions of songs from the November 07 demo, all heavenly mastered by Roger Seibel (Tortoise, !!!, Coco Rosie, Pit er Pat, Elliot Smith). "Reaction" | download [...]

This week's episode is presented by KQED Interactive and sponsored by Bloomsday Rising . This week's podcast features San Francisco experimental pop sextet maus haus , a band that ranks as one of the most promising young groups in Bay Area indie music. We were intrigued when we first heard that Aaron Weiss (ex-Social Studies) and Jason Kick (The Lovely Public, Social Studies) were working on a new project, and the band's self-distributed demos-from which we included songs here and here -set early expectations quite high with a [...]
John Darnielle, by Adrian Bischoff , at the Bottom of the Hill during Noise Pop 2008 A couple weeks ago I realized that I was going to be swimming in concerts for a couple weeks here, so I've been saving up my concert energy/ love/ money for this. Here's what I'm probably seeing: Tuesday October 21 : the Acorn , Ohbijou @ the Hemlock, 9pm, $10, 21+ I was intrigued by "Dents" (below) and got their album Glory Hope Mountain which [...]
It's a fine, fine time in the Bay Area if you like rock music. You've got your established bands doing interesting things (Deerhoof, Howlin Rain ) and what's even better, you've got your just-getting-going bands showing a scary amount of promise ( The Dodos , Girls ). But as you can tell from The Dodos and Girls, there is new legislation aimed at preserving protected living and rehearsal space in San Francisco. The permissible "new band" size in San Francisco has been shrunk to two people. We must resist these draconian measures! [...]
