Deleted Scenes and A Lull at Rickshaw Stop [Photo Review]
Deleted Scenes dropped by the Rickshaw Stop, sharing the stage with A Lull and Ravenna Wood. Although the woeful 49ers loss may have kept a few extra people from braving the fifth stormy night in as many days, the group played a motivated and energetic set, much to the pleasure of the attending patrons. Fresh off of their September [...]

Nero at Ruby Skye [Photographs]
On December 29th,British DJ group, Nero, lit up Ruby Skye with a blast of sound. The group crossed our path with their remix of “Blinded by the Lights” by the equally iconic British band, The Streets. They may not be a household name in the US, but they are regularly played by some of the most popular European DJs [...]

The Kooks and YAWN at The Fillmore [Photographs]
This past Tuesday, The Kooks played their final stop on their North American tour, and boy, did they go out with a bang. Things got going quick with opener YAWN. Forget the name, the Chicago base band are the Kooks favorite up-and-comer and rightfully so. The post-Vampire Weekend band take the style notes from the collegiate wunderkinds, but [...]

Caveman at Brick and Mortar [Photographs]
What a great little venue the Mission has in the Brick and Mortar Music Hall! Right under the freeway entrance on 14th near Mission, this new club evokes a decidedly New York vibe. This according to my recently-from-New York friend who came with me to the show on Sunday night, though I think she exaggerated for the sake [...]

Plaid at Mezzanine [Photographs]
Plaid is a sweet chime from the past. The UK duo Ed Handley and Andy Turner played to a devoted crowd at Mezzanine in San Francisco on Friday night. They started in with a long drawn out experimental weave of darkly twisted undertones crisscrossed with a foreplay of very deep bass lines before the official dropping in of [...]

The Sounds at The Warfield [Photographs]
The Sounds rocked The Warfield on Saturday night. Plain and simple. I say rocked, because there is really no other way to describe. it. Admittedly, I’ve listened to very little of the bands full length material, and considering myself a casual listener, I didn’t know quite what to expect of their live show. No doubt I found myself [...]

Feist at The Warfield 11/14/11 [Photographs]
Leslie Feist’s performance at The Warfield changed me. I had slighted the petite singer, known for her bubbly song “1,2,3,4” (featured on an iPod Nano commercial and later on Sesame Street), as a pop star lacking depth. Her 2004 breakout album, Let It Die, was a masterpiece of sweet, bright folk, with catchy hooks like on “Gatekeeper.” But [...]

Yelle at Mezzanine [Live Review and Photos]
Julie Budet is riveting. After her first few English words, spoken with a delightfully distorted accent, one can quickly hear she’s French. Likely few members of the audience understood her lyrics, yet she draws everyone in with a few on-stage antics and a massive dose of enthusiasm. Always moving, if she wasn’t singing, she was dancing, and [...]

City and Colour at The Fillmore [Photographs]
City and Colour stopped by The Fillmore this past weekend, to play a show on the west-coast leg of their North American and Canadian tour. The stop wasn’t added until mid-September, but they sold out the venue with ease. Playing with his well-talented fellow Canadian musicians, the sound was tight and full, and projected nicely throughout The Fillmore’s [...]

Deadmau5 Meowingtons Hax Tour at Bill Grahman Civic Center [Photos]
This Saturday there was a marathon at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. Instead of running shoes and athletic apparel, the Civic was a swarm of glow sticks and massive mouse head masks. Deadmau5 assembled quite the crew of DJs for his Meowingtons Hex show including DJ A-Track, Fatboy Slim and Mötley Crüe’s, Tommy Lee. As one might expect, the San [...]
