Mid-week folk shows: Alela Diane, Sean Hayes

Sean Hayes @ Tour De Fat 10-3-2009 (San Diego)
Two big shows for lovers of folk singer-songwriters this week, with contenders from both genders: Alela Diane with Marissa Nadler Tuesday at the Rickshaw Stop (8pm, $12), and next Sean Hayes at the Independent Wednesday with Kilbossa (8pm, $16). Diane currently claims residency in both Northern California (Nevada City) and Portland, but has hardly been able to call either home in the last year of extensive touring. Now she's off on a national tour supporting Nadler. Alela Diane & [...]

Musical Pairings: The Bay Needs Guitars!

It is Fall in the Bay Area, and like most other places on the West coast, that means it gets dark earlier in the evenings, stays dark longer in the mornings, and we are already seeing some monsoon-like rains that will be more and more frequent in the coming months. And although there is nothing wrong with throwing on The Morning Benders' excellent Bedroom Covers album or the Papercuts' fantastic You Can Have What You Want and pulling out a bottle of red wine and choosing to accept and deal with the weather (great albums for [...]

SF supergroup venerates the =w= @ BotH Thursday

Weeezr -  El Scorcho
Nostalgic albums - they cause the ear to tingle upon the first note of the first song and once soundtracked every moment of a period of your life. Call them crazy, but a group of local talent had the valiant idea of giving Weezer's Pinkerton a public genuflect at Bottom of the Hill tomorrow night with two more Bay Area acts: Wendy Darling and The Definite Articles (9pm, $10). If half-Japanese girls are your thing or maybe you're just tired of sex altogether, there's at least one song for you. The headliners will perform [...]

Silian Rail – …and I You, to Pieces Review

<span style="color: #384E60; background-color:#84CCF2">Silian</span> <span style="color: #384E60; background-color:#84CCF2">Rail</span> – …and I You, to Pieces Review Judging from their album title, ...and I You, to Pieces , I figured duo Robin Landy and Eric Kuhn, under the name Silian Rail , would sound something more likelier to Gregor Samsa (perhaps coined as the hopeless romantics of post-rock?). But of course, when it comes to instrumental music-and post-rock in particular-it's a rule to never judge an album by its title. This album is full of surprises. The thought of a post-rock band being a two-piece and sounding like a full band is rather hard to believe. Although most tracks never features anything more [...]

Local Pairings: Silian Rail - and I you, to pieces (paired w/ Cafe Claude)

Local Pairings: <span style="color: #384E60; background-color:#84CCF2">Silian</span> <span style="color: #384E60; background-color:#84CCF2">Rail</span> - and I you, to pieces (paired w/ Cafe Claude) As a committed omnivore, I'm very skeptical of meals that don't include meat or fish. That is not to say I completely eschew vegetarian meals, just that I approach these meals with lowered expectations unless there are mushrooms involved (I love mushrooms like nobody's business). The same is true for instrumental bands. I certainly don't dislike instrumental music (in fact, most of the best jazz and electronica is instrumental), but instrumental rock music is a tough sell for me. In other words, I approach any instrumental rock band (especially a two-piece) with the same skepticism I [...]

Local Pairings: French Miami - French Miami (paired w/ Stellina, Point Reyes Station, California)

Local Pairings: French Miami - French Miami (paired w/ Stellina, Point Reyes Station, California) The angular and synth-laden music of the self-titled debut album by San Francisco's French Miami features shout out loud vocals mingled with math-rock guitar riffs and steady, rhythmic percussion that alternates between danceable, droning and explosive. In other words, musically, their self-titled debut album flows between dense, electrifying math-rock riffs, a la Battles , to hypnotic, jazz-inspired drones, a la Tortoise , but with coherent punk-rock styled lyrics. In addition to Battles and Tortoise, the album makes me think of bands like Trans Am or Fugazi. French Miami consists of drummer Chris Crawford, and [...]

With two of my favorite local bands and a third band from Seattle, I was looking forward to this show. I got there shortly before Silian Rail went on. With an amalgam of images projected on the screen behind them, Robin (guitar) and Eric (drums, guitar, bass pedals, glockenspiel) put together a compelling set of old and new songs. Trying out a lot of new [...]

Silian Rail - and I you, to pieces

I didn`t expect to be absorbed by Silian Rail`s instrumental tone or be wonderfully unprepared for two cleverly bonded musicians. Uncluttered and inspiring, music to watch the world go by. " Silian Rail, from San Francisco, is Robin Landy and Eric Kuhn. Their songs are constantly shifting mazes of rich melodies and narrative rhythms; equally epic, fragile, and explosively dynamic. It never ceases to astound that, as a duo, [...]

Silian Rai's And I You, to Pieces Out Via 500 Records

Local label 500 Records just added another fine album to their catalog, digitally releasing Silian Rail's I, You To Pieces this week. I was fortunate to catch the duo of Robin Landy and Eric Kuhn a few times last year and was immediately struck by the strong musicianship. While there is an epic quality to their instrumentals, there is also a strong pop sensibility, which qualifies Silian Rail
