On May 29th, 1981, Throbbing Gristle performed their last live show at the Kezar Pavillion in San Francisco, CA. This legendary performance marked the initial breakup of the group and end of its mission. One of the attendees remembers : You know for the life of me I can't remember anymore about the actual music. I can remember closing my eyes during one piece and floating off into the 4th dimension (no drugs here just TG). I can remember jumping up and down because of the intense beat, and I can [...]

Girls became the latest group to take part in the “For No One” video series. This video series is music's equivalent of empty arena professional wrestling matches - artists perform songs to absolutely no audience but the cameraman filming it. Girls performs “Love Like A River,” a soulful ballad from their LP Father, Son, Holy Ghost. Girls also recently made their TV debut on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Christopher Owens seems to tap into a Marc Bolan influence on "Hunny Bunny." [...]

Cass McCombs is a elusive and shy nomadic indie folk troubadour. So elusive that at one point in 2010, his record company hired a private detective to track his whereabouts. He's released a stream of formidable albums throughout the past decade and his latest release Humor Risk seems to be sort of an answer to critics who say his music is too dark and melancholy. Humor Risk showcases tales of humor and lighter fare from McCombs' almost inaccessibly dark early 2011 release called Wit's End. The Same Thing is intoxicating indie pop that would fit well [...]

Blitzen Trapper and Dawes spent the months of October and November co-headlining a tour across the continental US. On Tuesday, November 15, the bands played San Francisco’s venerable Fillmore Auditorium to a nearly full – but not completely sold out...

Deadmau5 took over San Francisco for Halloween.

A nymph, a specter, a diva. Though these could all be used to describe Zola Jesus , hers is a presence one can only really experience firsthand. Barely breaking a height of five feet, she may be missed offstage, but when she pranced onstage to start her set at San Francisco's The Independent, all eyes were immediately captivated. As a venue, The Independent is different than any other I've experienced in San Francisco. The acts it bills are small, and the crowd may be even smaller, but there is still a sense that these are the fans following the [...]

One of the most brilliant conceptual artists in the music scene today, Anders Trentemøller and band delivered a devastatingly poignant performance on Saturday night. They're an act only so appropriate for The Fillmore, a cherished San Francisco venue known for billing psychedelic-era bands like Jefferson Airplane, The Grateful Dead, and Jimi Hendrix. With walls colored crimson red and chandeliers overhead, the crowd was suspended in time and space, awaiting the opportunity to witness history reborn on stage. Trentemøller released his debut album, The Last Resort , in [...]

An underground maven in its own right, 103 Harriet is one of San Francisco's best music venues. Toting past acts like Flying Lotus, Four Tet, and Madlib, the scene is industrial, bleak, and altogether hip, characterized by a dimly lit center room with walls splintered by kaleidoscopic stage lights. On Thursday night, the crowd was dressed in the Halloween spirit, adorned in feathers and sequins, as they waited in anticipation for the UK's latest electronic export: SBTRKT . SBTRKT started his career overseas, playing live shows at east London club Plastic People and collaborating on tracks with [...]

Following the Seattle show, Yasiin Bey and Talib Kweli will be storming San Francisco to share the stage with Oakland's finest, the Panamanian brothers Los Rakas, brought to you by Ankh Marketing... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

Saturday October 15th All Photos by Philip Cosores This year’s installment of Treasure Island music festival (named eponymously for the island on which it takes place) was the fifth. A fifth anniversary is usually something to celebrate, an anniversary worth marking, but Treasure Island didn’t do this – in fact I only heard one or two mentions of the fact that this was the fifth year. No, Treasure Island is a wonderfully understated festival that doesn’t show off but rather boasts without being loud about it. [...]

Review - James Blake @ The Fillmore, San Francisco, CA - 09/21/11 This review of James Blake at The Fillmore comes from Clare Healy. This is Clare's third review for YTC and I have to say every time I read one of her reviews I become more and more impressed. Clare has a wide variety of musical taste and does and excellent job of describing a show. If you were at this concert or have ever seen James Blake live please comment on this post and let us know what you [...]

When electronic/dubstep disc-scratcher Bassnectar (a.k.a. Lorin Ashton) hosted his mini-festival at the yawning, expansive Bill Graham Auditorium, the downtown San Francisco venue was overrun with thousands of barely legal ravers chewing on glow-in-the-dark binkys and chattering excitedly (with and without the binky). So popular was this event—also featuring Baltimore-based electronic maestro Dan Deacon and jamtronica [...]

This post is powered by Best Buy All Photos by Philip Cosores Sunday at Outside Lands provided a slew of acts that fall into a quite specified niche: bands that make music that is interesting not only to dance to, but also to merely stand and admire. Those who still had the energy will have found many moments and songs in which to expend it, while those nearing exhaustion will have experienced plenty of other edification from the musicianship, lyrics and [...]

Photos by Philip Cosores Outside Lands day two saw the sun finally shine on Golden Gate Park and the festival coming out and into its own. With indie-rock dominating the day, it was the perfect opportunity for the large crowds to show their energy with plenty of jumping around and crowd surfing going on. It’s hard to imagine a more vibrant festival day than this one. The Vaccines The Vaccines started the day off perfectly with a surprisingly barnstorming set early on the Twin [...]
