You are cordially invited to a very special evening with Snob Theater . This night of humor and brilliant music will be accompanied by the quirky comedy of Jesse Elias , the classiness of Mary Van Note , the clever quips of Alex Koll , and Brooklyn's own fantastic funny-man, Rob Cantrell (HBO, Comedy Central, NBC, CBS). In addition we will have a special performance by the very talented "man-of-variety" Drennon Davis . [...]

San Francisco's orchestral indie rock ensemble The Definite Articles are declaring their Bottom of the Hill show Saturday the official end to their King Merriweather album cycle, playing with Passenger & Pilot and Blonde Summer (9pm, $10, RSVP ). The Definite Articles - "Sea Things" Back in November of last year, TDA did an epic, two-night inauguration of the concept record they had captured at Tiny [...]
Andrew Kenny, soft vocals in tow and American Analog Set history tucked neatly away, will be playing with the rest of the Wooden Birds this Saturday, June 25th at Bottom of the Hill (10:00 pm, $10/advance, $12/door). The band's sophomore album, Two Matchsticks , is out now and follows quite nicely in Magnolia 's footsteps (the band's 2009 debut) - both albums tread warmly on dynamic, rhythmic indie rock, with the easygoing electric guitar leading the way from song to song. The Wooden Birds - "Two Matchsticks" [...]
Tweet Everyone knows what happens at the end of Revenge of the Nerds. The Tri-Lambs mop the floor with the Alpha Betas during the Greek Games, using their big brains and a Vader mask to demolish the meatheads in competition and score with the hot Pi Delts. The lesson of the movie is plain — the geek shall inherit the Earth. Backseat Beat episode 8: The Definite Articles, part 2 from Brad Robertson on Vimeo . [...]
Vengono da San Francisco, si chiamano The Definite Articles e "King Merriweather" è il titolo del loro album di debutto. Registrato presso il Tiny Telephone studio, di proprietà di John Vanderslice, con l'ausilio di 30 (!) musicisti, King Merriweather mette in mostra l'enorme talento di Jon Sung, leader della band, sia in fase compositiva sia nell'arrangiamento dei pezzi. " The instrumentation recorded during the session ultimately comprised 30 musicians, including woodwinds, horns, harp, choir, and a dozen strings. On King Merriweather, the group constructs a swirling, bittersweet tale of love, choice, and regret. Some songs swell to an [...]
Tweet Backseat Beat is a video series highlighting indie musicians and the city by the Bay. Armed with Flip cameras, we interview bands in the back seat of our '83 Volvo as we spirit them away to unexpected, forgotten corners of San Francisco, where they plug in outdoors to play a few tunes. Each band's performance transforms these urban spots from their anonymous day to day existence into surreal, magical backdrops. It's a damn shame my public high school didn't have [...]

The Definite Articles is a band of appreciable size and aspiration; they spent three years putting together King Merriweather , which they will perform in its entirety tonight and tomorrow at the found venue of a Presbyterian church (32 Ocean at Mission). Each night includes a different Sacramento-based folk rock supporting act - understandable, for the headliners transplanted from that area down to the Bay Area just a few years ago. Friday's will be DoomBIRD and Saturday's is Sea of Bees . And if [...]

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 [...]
