Kata Rokkar Goes To Hawaii

Saturday, February 6th, 2010

Today, I fly out to Honolulu to see my brother. While I’m out there I’ll be seeing Andrew Bird at the Pipeline Cafe and trying to see what kind of music scene #50 has to offer. I’ll be checking in from time to time but don’t expect that much updates.

If you’re in the Bay Area this week though, check out Daedelus, Nosaj Thing, and Jogger at the Mighty tonight, St. Vincent and Wildbirds & Peacedrums at at the Great American Music Hall and Editors and The Antlers at the Warfield on Monday, Vivian Girls, Best Coast, and The Bananas at the Bottom of the Hill on Tuesday, Eyedea & Abilities, dosh, and Grieves at the Bottom of the Hill on Wednesday, Wild Beasts, Still Life Still, and the Magic Bullets at the Independent on Thursday, and The Album Leaf and Sea Wolf at the Great American Music Hall on Friday.

For more Bay Area shows, go to epic sauce. Or for more Bay Area music news, click the Links tab and there’s a plethora of great websites to choose from.

I’ll be in touch…

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: Jan 11 – 17

Sunday, January 11th, 2009

The talent oozing from the South Bay Area music scene right now in undeniably amazing. This Wednesday’s show at the Bottom of the Hill is proof of that. The Good Hustle’s mix of bombastic goofball gypsy rock alone is enough to convince anyone to attend this show. But if that’s not enough, maybe the spacey Ambience or the Charles Mingus inspired jazz outfit Panthelion will convince you to get off your ass and make your way to the Bottom of the Hill this week. If not, well, your loss. I for one will be seeing the reunited Far again all the way in Sacramento this Thursday. I’m sure it will be as intense as the LA show I went to last year.
