This Week In Bay Area Live Shows: Jan 25 – 31

Sunday, January 25th, 2009

Yet another busy week in the Bay Area. Well, I take that back, usually the week is pretty slow when it comes to shows and the weekend is chock full of awesomeness. However this week is wall to wall greatness all around. Particularly this coming weekend. If you are keeping track of the SF Sketchfest, then you know that Tim Meadows, Andy Richter, Bob Odenkirk, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Paul F. Tompkins, and Zach Galifianakis will be in town. Hopefully I’ll see some of you out at the Album Leaf show at the Bottom of the Hill this Wednesday. Have fun this week people!

This Week in Bay Area Live Shows

Saturday, October 25th, 2008

Sigur Rós at the Greek Theatre

I have obviously been busy this week and will be for the coming week. But my shortage in lengthly posts and descriptions of new and upcoming bands will continue in the coming month. I’m just taking a short break (or holiday, for that matter). Anyway, there certainly is no shortage of fantastic shows in the Bay Area this week. I’ll be attending a handful but it would behoove you to try to see at least one of these this week… (cough) Girl Talk (cough).
