The Bay Bridged
Obviously the title's more than a bit facetious, but we did want to do something a little special to celebrate the 200th episode of our weekly Bay Bridged podcast . For this week's show, we each picked four artists featured on past podcasts (one for each year of the show) and discussed some memorable behind-the-scenes highlights, including tales of excessive drinking, awkward conversation, and equipment failures. On a serious note, we'd like to thank all of the listeners who've made doing the show so rewarding. Thank you also for indulging us in this silly look back [...]

The Bay Bridged
San Francisco's electro-soul queens Von Iva will be making a stop at Slim's on June 6th as a part of their headlining tour along the West Coast. The band has come a long way, earning several points of recognition in the mainstream media, most notably their work as Zooey Deschanel's band in the movie Yes Man . Supporting the all girl group on Saturday will be LA's Gliss and Minneapolis' Sick of Sarah . Von Iva - "Guise" (from [...]

Gliss' current tour may not necessarily be one for the ages, but it's certainly one for the police blotter. The L.A. trio, criss-crossing the country in support of its sophomore release "Devotion Implosion" [ review ], has felt the exhilaration of playing several bang-up shows — they circle back to L.A. and play with Von Iva on Friday at the Roxy. But that's been tempered by anguish of having been ripped off in New Jersey and the panic of having dodged bullets in Austin, Texas. Multi-instrumentalist Marty Klingman, on the phone from Texas [...]

Imagine the rock star: gleaming in sweat, yet irresistibly sexy and rebellious, vainly involved in their music, but sonically connected to their screaming fans. Calling someone a rock star is a generalization, yet connotes the aura of a certain swagger and musical grace or lack there of. Glasvegas on their first US tour have been opening their performances in the US with female bands like Von Iva or Ida Maria—issuing a comparison of female and male rock bands. On this Thursday night at the Great American Music Hall (GAMH) Von Iva and Glasvegas both performed like [...]

For the 'records'
concert review : Glasvegas , Von Iva @ The Mod Club (Toronto, Ontario) - April 3, 2009 review to come <!-- Von Iva (San Francisco) - electro soul-rock, sort of like The Gossip, although stylistically, both visually and musically, although they trade in The Gossip's dance-punk angle, and play it with a glammier sheen. Even though they're from San Francisco, they sound L.A. to me, if that makes any sense. - not surprising perhaps that they've already appeared in a [...]
ComaSow
SomaCow Media is proud to present ComaSow , brought to you by Von Iva . Von Iva is a band out of San Francisco. It's 3 girls who have many descriptions for their music! I wonder which we'll define it as.We reviewed their recently released album, Girls On Film . This week Geoff is out of town so while he joined us in the live chatroom , he was not in studio. Instead, I had our good friend Sue come in for this chick-filled evening. [...]

Von Iva creates their own brand of music by combining breakbeat cool with a dance punk attitude. Imagine Tina Turner singing over hammering dance beats and layers of synths. These ladies are turning out new and exciting music for people that aren't afraid to put Donna Summer, Joy Division and Jay Z back to back on a playlist. Von Iva first made a name for themselves thanks to their eye-popping, heart stopping live performances, and their rambunctious debut EP grabbed the attention of both critics and fans. Before they knew it this hard working, D.I.Y [...]

Here's a tip for all movie producers. If you're looking to compose a solid soundtrack, it'd probably be a good idea to involve the Mark Oliver Everett, aka Eels , in some shape or form. After all, one look at the California native's theatrical resume ( Holes , Shrek , Hot Fuzz , just to name a few) and it's pretty obvious that aside from The Moldy Peaches, no one else has captured our hearts and filled our ears more on the big screen. So it should come as little surprise that the Everett [...]

This Sunday, it's the Folsom Street Fair , which San Franciscans will know isn't your average street party. "San Francisco has served – and continues to serve – as the global epicenter of sexual liberation for the adult alternative lifestyle community," write fair organizers, and this year marks the event's 25th anniversary. There are two stages bands at the street fest this year, including Bay Bridged interviewees Excuses for Skipping ( interview here ) and Von Iva ( [...]

So, I've been kinda stuck this week. There have been the usual fare of new bands and indie tracks, but I've been on a heavy diet of The Streets and Kings Of Leon. In fact, everything else has paled in comparison. Nevertheless, I managed to tear myself away last night, long enough to put this week's mixtape together. Of course, I've included favorite tracks off each previously mentioned album. I love Heaven For The Weather for the brilliant chorus: " I wanna go to heaven for the weather / and hell for the company / I wanna [...]
