It feels like there are a ton of great Halloween live music options this year. Here are a few of the highlights: - LoveLikeFire and Loquat at Bottom of the Hill . Two quality indie pop bands and a bunch of DJs add up to a good night. - Looking for covers? Most of Citay will be at Amnesia , performing as "Bob Saggath". Unclear if there will [...]
It's been too long - over a year- since Sea Wolf played San Francisco. I was one excited gal when I found out they'd be playing Bimbos at the start of their White Water White Bloom tour. Sea Wolf played the 19th, and the album was to be released a few days later. I was fortunate enough to get an advance copy of the album from Dangerbird about a week before the show. White Water White Bloom was in constant rotation in my car, much to the chagrin of my kids. I'd been hoping to shoot a portrait [...]
Where the American Analog Set leaves off, the Wooden Birds begin - and this new project is everything an Andrew Kenny fan could hope for. The band's debut, Magnolia , is out now on Barsuk Records . The Wooden Birds ( MySpace ) are comprised of Andrew Kenny, Ola Podrida songwriter David Wingo, vocalist/guitarist Leslie Sisson, and Lymbic System [...]
Thursday @ BotH: Black Moth Super Rainbow, School of Seven Bells, Odd Nosdam (9pm, $12) As we mentioned earlier this week, BMSR released Eating Us (Graveface) on Tuesday, an album just as synth heavy and fun as albums past. The show is supported by School of Seven Bells , a likeminded electronic getup from Brooklyn whose Alpinisms (limited vinyl out now) has been commended by both the New York Times and Pitchfork, wow! Black Moth Super Rainbow - "Born on [...]
This Wednesday at Bottom of the Hill there is a great local lineup. The Old-Fashioned Way will be celebrating their EP release, joined by The Botticellis and My First Earthquake . The new EP The Old-Fashioned Way and Their Weak Constitutions is a five-song EP the band recorded last summer at Pan American Studios with Jason Quever (of Papercuts). The music is a quirky blend of indie pop and folk, with more instruments than you can fathom [...]
According to various reports California, if it were an independent nation, would be the fifth largest economy in the world. A state of infinite possibilities, it has always seemed to me to be lacking in musical highlights. Since those kings of slacker rock Pavement burst out of Stockton and gave their musical genius to the world, I have found myself looking to other US states for my musical experiences. Grandaddy shone briefly for a while but states like New York (obviously), Washington, Oregon and of course Texas have provided great artists that have delighted me and the musical world. Even [...]
Time is short 'til my departure to San Francisco (okay, via Oakland) tomorrow afternoon for the six-day fiesta of Noise Pop , the Bay Area's best independent music festival. Its proximity on the calendar to the pricey and crowded SXSW means that many of my music blogger friends are opting for Austin and not S.F. I say: their loss. Not that I wouldn't love to go to SXSW (and should probably start saving my kopecks now for 2008), but Noise Pop is just the right size, high quality, varied, and [...]
