Oooh it was set to be a good night, even on paper. Steve Gunn - Kurt Vile's buddy and extra Violator on this tour - filled an early, early set with layered, rich indie-blues - haven't heard a lot of that, these days. And none so good. Guitar and voice gave a dusty hug to the muttering crowd. Then San Francisco's Fresh & Onlys arrived, lookin' like each of them - singer/guitarist Tim Cohen, guitarist Wymond Miles, bassist Shayde Sartin and drummer Kyle Gibson - belonged in different [...]

Along with Ty Segall, Tim Cohen and the boys are representing the City to the fullest.
I've been getting into several new albums of late, and when that happens, I often want to play several songs from the same band on my radio show. I restrained myself, narrowing it down to a pair each; that's the theme of tonight's show - doubles. I'll be playing back-to-back tracks from each artist I play tonight, including new stuff by The Besnard Lakes, Wolf People, King Tuff, and Arrington de Dionyso's Malaikat dan Singa. We begin, however, with a band I originally covered way back in 2010: Young Hunting. Regarding [...]
Kurt Vile took the stage Tuesday night at the jam-packed Echoplex looking as if he just walked out of his "Never Run Away" video — maybe his all-white persona is here to stay. As he did at Coachella , Vile delivered his songs from beneath his voluminous hair, keeping it low-key and letting the music, rather than the guitarist himself, connect with the audience. His backing band the Violators ebbed on and off the stage throughout the night, giving Vile a chance to also show off some of his acoustic versions of his hits. When left [...]
Indie darling of the moment Kurt Vile will be playing a sold-out show at The Independent this Wednesday, May 8. The Philadelphia native is currently promoting his latest album, Wakin On A Pretty Daze , which has quickly become a critics' favorite since its release early last month. Stylistically, the new album shows Vile’s subtle growth as a songwriter, with changes that are small compared to his previous record, 20102s Smoke Ring For My Halo . Vile's voice is still mumbly and smooth, and still thickly sweet, and his lyrics haven't strayed [...]
Happy Tuesday: ► His Purple Majesty, Prince , plays Grove of Anaheim with 3rd Eye Girl as support. ► Kurt Vile & the Violators stops by the Echoplex in support of his latest album "Wakin on a Pretty Daze." [That's Vile's video for "Never Run Away" above.] San Francisco's the Fresh & Onlys and New York's Steve Gunn round out the bill. ► Folk singer-songwriter Laura Stevenson plays upstairs at the Echo in support of her newly-released album 'Wheel." [ Check out "L-DOPA ] and [...]

May is looking almost as crazy as April on the show front. And this time there isn't a Coachella to blame it on. You just need to blame it on how awesome the bay area is! Now, got do some rocking. Or Else... Thursday, May 2nd Clinic, No Joy at Rickshaw Stop Clinic, along with [...] The post Spinning Platters Weekly Guide to Bay Area Concerts, 5/2/13-5/8/13 appeared first on Spinning Platters .
I picked up a new toy a few hours before my show. My bike had been in the shop for a few days with a broken spoke and to get a new chain and cassette (the latter of which was a special order item), and I decided to try out a 2012 model Trek. Ended up using my old bike as a trade in and coming home with the new ride pictured above. With this kind of reckless spending, I needed a garage/psychedelic rock kind of night. Here's my playlist for [...]
As Russell mentioned earlier this week, there's a free show on Treasure Island this Sunday night as part of JanSport's Bonfire Sessions, with the terrific all-local bill of Two Gallants , The Fresh & Onlys , and Safe . Added bonuses: there will also be complimentary drinks, and there's a shuttle to take folks to the island and back. Find out all of the details and RSVP here . Two Gallants, The Fresh and [...]
Berkeley "emotional singer" Safe released a 7-inch vinyl single along with a remastered version of his debut EP last week on Greedhead Music . Safe, aka CF Edley, was once the artistic director for MGMT , so you know he's going to drop some emotional videos for his emotional songs. The video for "Black Satin Living Room" was directed by Brandon Tauszik , who also directed Antwon's outstanding "Living Every Dream" video . A video for "Treason", which is a bonus track on his EP release, follows. Safe will be [...]

I received a message from Stuarto requesting I cover his show in the late afternoon hours of Friday, March 8. After a minute or two to think about it, I agreed. In all the times I've covered for his show over the past year and a half, I have never done a show that gives a nod to his show, which often features more mainstream music including a handful of tunes from the 60s and 70s. For March 8, I decided this needed to change. I pieced together quite the show for the first two [...]
Photos by Lauren Espina This week's Noise Pop 2013 festivities continued at Bottom of the Hill on Wednesday night with toe-tapping performances from San Francisco garage rockers Burnt Ones and The Fresh & Onlys , plus San Diego's Plateaus and D.I.Y. legend R. Stevie Moore . Each of the four bands is a quartet, providing for a well-rounded rock show. Burnt Ones warmed up the stage with an impressive rock 'n' roll [...]

Hello Petey Dammit. I am Mikala Taylor. From Vancouver, currently in Toronto, saw you live in San Francisco last year, and I look forward to hanging out with you in Primavera Sound in Barcelona this year. Can I buy you a drink in Spain and if so, what would you like? Hello Mikala , thank you very much for offering me a drink. I reckon I would like a beer, a cheap watery one. I'm drinking for the marathon, not the race, haha. [...]
Words by Brendan It's (roughly) that time when we look back and analyze the past year, identify our favorite things. I say "roughly" because, well, some people do these kinds of things in December, but that seems premature. We took a little while, relaxed, let the feeling of 2012 pass through us, and now here we are. (Okay, we had a lot of work to catch up on, and were just a little lazy, too. What of it?) I [...]
