Even those students of music's most obscure acts may be woefully unaware of Seattle darkwave act Cinema 90. That’s not surprising, though, considering the little known duo came and went in 1984 with but one song to their name: “In Ultra-Violet” . Despite only appearing on the Seattle Syndrome compilation, the song’s minimalist, dark dance vibes earned it its own fanbase. That includes San Francisco electronic indie outfit Maus Haus , who has dusted off the track and given it brand new life 30 years after its debut. Much of the danciness of [...]
Livermore’s Wente Vineyards , venerable for hosting big-name artists like John Fogerty, Sheryl Crow and Dianna Krall, went indie Saturday with a double-bill of The Mountain Goats and The Dodos .

The $30-ticket was a fraction of the price to see more popular names such as Foreigner or Journey. [...]

Oh shit! I found this post queued and realized it never posted! Well, last month Noise Pop closed the 20th Anniversary of their ongoing and much beloved festival with a dynamite set by The Dodos which started out with a somber dedication to former touring bandmate Christopher Reimer (also known as the guitarist for noise-rock band Women), who passed away earlier last month. The song? A cover of Tea Lights by Lower Dens , which turned out to be Chris' favorite song. The rest of the set was explosive, passionate, and a tribute to the [...]

Can you believe Noise Pop has been going on for 20 years? Neither can anybody in San Francisco. According to the festival's program, the whole thing started out as a “random one-off show put together for an open night in the slow touring month of January 1993.” Years later, the festival has evolved into a citywide event that's now a Bay Area tradition. It nurtures the area's creative spirit, and what better locale than San Francisco, a city that has always encouraged people to do their own thing and be themselves. Noise Pop champions those ideals and keeps it interesting. [...]
