Some years are great for shows – like 2008. Some are great years for albums, like 2009. But this was a great year for both, from the start. In the order I remembered them: Family Crest – My Living Room ; 9/11 Duh. Can you believe this alterna-dad cream dream supreme? A stalwart and happy-go-lucky nonet of classically trained musicians show up at my house to play their lovely, life-affirming chamber pop on the anniversary of 9/11 and my teenage son sits in on clarinet? You just had to be there. [...]
The Verdi Club will be hosting fantastic events two Saturdays in a row. This Saturday, December 3rd, will feature the Bay Brewed (sorry, couldn't resist). And next Saturday, December 10th, Dusty Stax and the Bold Italic have put together a very special event in the spirit of the holiday . This Winter Formal Dance will feature classy attire and a plethora of local garage rock musicians: Over the summer, Dusty Stax's "Let Her Dance" took San Francisco back in a time machine for a huge celebration of '60s soul. [...]

Entering the Great American Music Hall early seemed like a good idea at the time, but what I wasn't prepared for was the plethora of Girls fans camped out at the foot of the stage. I knew Girls had a loyal and much deserved fanbase, but I don't think I knew its magnitude. This is me being naive and plain dumb. After all, this is Girls ' hometown show with super charming surf rockers Sonny & The Sunsets , plus an opening act that exceeded everyone's expectations. PAPA [...]
