By the start of Tuesday night's show at Bottom of the Hill, the turnout was a little concerning. With a bill headlined by Metz (one of Sub Pop's newer novelty punk bands) and their Canadian tour mates White Lung , you'd think it would have a heavy attendance. But at 9:15, when San Diego surf pop openers Mrs. Magician started their set, the room was maybe a quarter of the way full. By White Lung, it was packed, and rightfully so, for a [...]

Ski Lodge recently released a new video for their single "Just To Be Like You" (below), which was recorded and produced by Kevin McMahon, and their self titled 12-inch EP was just released on [...]

Sonny & the Sunsets headlined a night of surf-pop goodness at Bottom of the Hill last Saturday night.
Caspian (Photo: Mike G.) Photo Gallery: Emily Turner Noise Pop 2013 has come and gone, and it ended on an epically high note. Post-rock mainstays Caspian were towering and majestic, a thing of primal beauty, on Sunday night at Bottom of the Hill, but that being said, supporting act Native was the real story of the night for me, if only because I knew nothing about them going in, and they officially earned [...]
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 [...]
Local band The Fresh & Onlys showed up at Bottom of the Hill looking for hugs and Fireball.
It was the last element added to Maserati ’s latest album. The record was tracked and ready to go, but bassist Chris McNeal of the Athens, Georgia-based instrumental psych/post-rock band had one last idea. “We went back to the studio for an hour,” guitarist Coley Dennis said. “Chris had this idea and I’m glad he did, because it makes the song.” After more than 13 years as a band, what Maserati had was its very first sung part. It was heavily processed through a vocoder, and only a few lines [...]
Yet-to-be-signed, singer/songwriter Doe Eye is forging through the world of music and finding the spotlight along the way.
Last March, Hank IV drummer Scott Jones suffered a traumatic brain injury after falling backwards down the stairs in his home. After spending a number of months in a coma and undergoing several surgeries, Jones is now back living at home, where he needs around-the-clock medical care that is not covered by his insurance. To help cover these costs, there's a benefit show this Sunday at Bottom of the Hill, featuring a full afternoon of entertainment for just $15 (100% of which will go to the Scott Jones Medical Fund).

Casually born out of a ramshackle San Francisco State dorm room in 2011, Sheepeaters are now a fully-formed unit primed to make a splash on the local indie pop scene. The band first began to take shape when college roommates Taylor Giffin (drums) and Ty Lyman (bass) befriended guitarist Joe Raedeker on the SFSU campus. After adding second guitarist Joey Buttitta to the fold a couple weeks after its first show, the four-piece began to solidify its slightly off-kilter take on surf-tinged indie rock, pulling from a range of influences it refers to somewhat [...]
Shady Maples released their debut LP Unfold just over a year ago, and Saturday night they're headlining at Bottom of the Hill. They'll be joined by Goodnight Texas , who is on a national tour, and The Heavy Guilt out of San Diego. Unfold was primarily a collaboration between Berkeley guitarist Owen Roberts and San Diego's Greg Peterson, who mostly played lap steel on the album. For the show Saturday, Peterson's lap steel will be replaced with a combination of Shira Lee [...]
After milling about in an unusually long door queue, I wandered into Bottom of the Hill on Friday night smack in the middle of Oakland-via-Santa Cruz garage-surf foursome Meat Market ’s rowdy set. The youthful group, who can now add their name to the tremendous roster of spry, talented Bay Area garage rock bands, wore amused grins throughout the show, dedicating songs to enthusiastic friends in the pit. Their music is lightweight and danceable, the singing style a mix of surf rock staple ooh-aahs and sore throat inducing screeches. LA-based [...]
Garage punk four-piece Meat Market swings through San Francisco on Friday night, marking the second stop in a week-long tour of California alongside cohorts FIDLAR and Pangea . Originally formed in Santa Cruz while the band members attended college, the group pools a diverse set of musical interests, ranging from punk and garage to blues and old-school surf, into its sound. The result is a deftly combined mix of gritty garage rock tunes and sun-bleached melodies that calls to mind groups [...]
It may be a new year, but the folks on the East Coast impacted by the recent mega-storm incongruously dubbed "Sandy" (as if it was some spunky neighborhood gal) are still trying to put the pieces back together. If you're looking for a way to help, you can come rock out at Bottom of the Hill tonight . The night features two Bay Area bands (indie-pop quartet and recent NYC-to-SF transplant Big Tree and Oakland-based genre-benders Bonnie & The BANG BANG ), as well as two [...]
