This Week In Bay Area Live Shows: June 14th – 20th

Sunday, June 14th, 2009

From the looks of things, the Bay will be a little slow in regards to shows. That doesn’t mean there isn’t anything going on, just not as much as usual.

First off, tonight A Camp plays The Independent and the Haight Street Fair features We Be the Echo at the Stanyan Stage.

Monday will have British indie rocks Art Brut at the San Francisco Amoeba Records at 6pm and at The Independent with LoveLikeFire at 8pm.

Tuesday features lo-fi rocker That Ghost at The Knockout. Hey I told you it was a slow week.

Anyway, post-punk heroes Shellac rocks The Great American Music Hall both Wednesday and Thursday. Everyone’s favorite indie sweetheart Ben Kweller hits up Slim’s on Wednesday as well as Oakland songbird and solo uke-slinger Tippy Canoe at the Hemlock Tavern.

Thursday brings the NINJATUNE Party with Daedelus & Ghislain Poirer at Mighty and Viva Voce with Cut Off Your Hands at the Bottom of the Hill. Also, The Phoenix in Petaluma will be hosting ONELOVEFORCHI, a benefit for bassist Chi Cheng of The Deftones, who fell into a coma after a vicious car accident a few months ago. All door proceeds will go to www.oneloveforchi.com to help Chi & Cheng Family with medical bills. Live music from post-hardcore legends Will Haven as well as Snipers, Un-ID, An Archaic Smile and Simoom.

Friday has PJ Harvey & John Parish making sweet tunes at The Warfield and Nouvelle Vague drops by the Grand Regency Ballroom.

Saturday wraps up the week with Les Claypool at The Warfield, White Rabbits promoting their ever-so-awesome new album “It’s Frightening” at The Independent, and award winning Nigerian musician Femi Kuti at The Fillmore.

See you out there!

This Week In Bay Area Live Shows: March 1st – 7th

Sunday, March 1st, 2009

Are you enjoying Noise Pop Festival? Well if you live out here in Bay Area you should or a least should have. You see, Noise Pop wraps up today with No Age at the Bottom of the Hill and Les Savy Fav and The Mae Shi at the Mezzanine. I unfortunately have been missing out due to a extremely busy work schedule. But what I’ve been hearing from The Bay Bridged, ipickmynose and Hippies are Dead, it’s been going very well. The rest of this week looks promising as well. Particularly this Thursday with M.Ward at the Palace of Fine Arts Theatre, theSTART at the Bottom of the Hill, Soilwork at Slim’s, Pop Levi at The Independent, Cut Off Your Hands at Popscene, and The Limousines at the Rickshaw Stop. Another good week in the Bay Area. See you out there!
