June 29, 2008— NorCal hardcore/punk band, The Force, is reuniting for the first time in 10 years. Singer Matt Wedgley (Viva Hate), bassist Hunter Burgan (AFI), guitarist Mark Roustabout (The Roustabouts) and the inimitable drummer Chad Cox went their separate ways after the band’s final show in 1998, each following his own path to personal and... read more »
When I originally chose to go to see The Dodos at the Independent, I picked it based on the fact that the first minute of the song on their myspace sounded different and exciting. After that point I started noticing The Dodos everywhere. There were posters, articles, reviews, word of mouth, everything. And then when I found out that the show was... read more »

Bottom of the Hill is one of my favorite places to see live music in SF. It’s small, there’s always a good crowd, you can practically sit on the stage, they play random old films at the bar, there’s a fantastic little garden area in back, and they have cheap PBR. However, my one complaint about the Potrero venue is the sound quality, which... read more »

Last Saturday night June 14th, Bay Area bands The Matches, Scissors for Lefty, and Brilliant Red Lights, had the Fillmore packed with high energy tech-pop, sporadic nods to dancing, and all of the girls... read more »
Ladies and gentleman, I don’t know if you’ve heard, but Kanye West is kind of a big deal. Mr. West hit San Jose last Friday for the second round of his Glow in the Dark tour (though almost nothing glowed in the dark) and I went to witness the spectacle of the loved and hated Kanye West. Opening for West was an all-star crew of West were his... read more »
On Friday the 13th, I did not have an unlucky day. In fact, thanks to Times New Viking, it was quite a pleasant one. As I arrived at Bottom of the Hill, profoundly-named Psychedelic Horseshit was taking the stage. This punky threesome serenaded the crowd with 90s-era rock that was rigid, jerky, and rough around the edges. Psychedelic Horseshit... read more »
The Russian Circles are a hard-working band that have an insane summer tour schedule. Looking at their tour dates for June, the 19th stood out as a shining light being the only night off for the three poor boys from Chicago. They are probably just exhausted already. The Russian Circles are a post-rock/post-metal experimental prog band that plays... read more »
