This Week In Bay Area Live Shows: May 10th – 16th

Sunday, May 10th, 2009

Before I mention this week’s line-up, I would just like to let everyone know that the Cornelius and Deerhoof show at the Fillmore on Tuesday is cancelled due to…erm….Swine Flu. But no matter, there’s plenty going on this week to keep you occupied.

Tonight we’ve got avant-garde freaks Sleepytime Gorilla Museum at the Great American Music Hall and The Dead (yes, THAT Dead) play the Shoreline Amphitheatre. Monday, Scottish indie pop group The Vaselines hit up Bimbo’s 365 and instru-metal band North plays The Full House in Oakland. Tuesday features noise-pop acts Ponytail and Cryptacize at the Bottom of the Hill and the always amazing Cloud Cult play The Independent. Wednesday has blues-rocker Michelle Malone’s CD Release party at the Café du Nord. Thursday, we have doom metal giants Opeth and Enslaved at the The Regency Center Ballroom and Janeane Garofalo at Cobb’s Comedy Club. Friday we have Loney, Dear at the Bottom of the Hill, The Avett Brothers and Magnolia Electric Co. play both Friday and Saturday at the Fillmore. On Saturday M. Ward does the Fox Theatre in Oakland, Margot & the Nuclear So and So’s perform at the The Great American Music Hall, and I’ll be folking it up with Sean Hayes and The Botticellis at The Independent.

See you out there!

Ponytail – Celebrate The Body Electric (It Came From An Angel)

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.
