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 [...]

Best Albums of 2011: Angela Bacca’s Picks
For the best albums in 2011, SF Critic will highlight each of our staff’s picks, rather than an accumulative 25, 50, 1,000 best album list.

Feist “Metals” [Album Review]
When Feist first came on the scene in 2004 with Let It Die featuring the adorable video for “Mushaboom,” I was enraptured. I proverbially wore down the Mp3s in my colorless-screened first generation iPod.

Mayer Hawthorne and The County at Bimbo’s 365 [Photos]
Mayer Hawthorne and The County rolled into the famed Bimbo’s 365 Club in San Francisco last Friday in their typical suave style. No big deal, just playing to a packed house.

Preview for Treasure Island Festival 2011
Oh Treasure Island Festival you seem to appease my bipolar music taste so well I’ve begun to worry (was that you at my window yesterday?). Sticking to the festival’s theme of electronic and dance music on Saturday (can you say “party time”) with Sunday “fun-day” geared at indie rockers, expect plenty of basshead tweeners (in between teenagers and young adults) [...]
