Hey, gang! We’re baa-aack! I’ve missed you guys so much — you have no idea! But enough with the mushy stuff; down to business. Here are a couple things happening this Tuesday which caught The Scene’s eye. Check’m out!
LIVE:
Artist/Event: Seed of Crowell
Genre: Acoustic/Alternative/Pop
Venue: Cafe Royale, 800 Post St. (@ Leavenworth)
Time: 8:00 p.m.
Anything Else?: This band’s flavor is definitely acoustic, with bare-bones instrumentation and clean-yet-mournful vocals. And occasionally there’s a bit if gypsy style thrown in. Note that they hail from Berkeley, so for you East Bay’ers, if you like what you hear, seek’m out!Artist/Event: “Flower”
Genre: DJ/Pop
Venue: Knockout S.F., 3223 Mission St. (@ Valencia)
Time: 9:00 p.m.
Anything Else?: Featuring DJs Will Ivy and Moses of Honey. The sound is reminiscent of early 80s Euro-Pop and pretty catchy. They self-describe as Psych-Rock. You decide.
DJ:
Artist/Event: “Alcoholocaust”
Genre: DJ/Hard Core/Punk/Rock
Venue: Argus Lounge, 3187 Mission St. (@ Valencia)
Time: 9:00 p.m. to 1:30 a.m.
Anything Else? Featuring DJs What’s His Fuck and The Wizard. Part of the draw of this party is that these guys aren’t just DJs; they’re also trivia game hosts! That’s right, there’s a chance to win free cans of Tecate! Just be the first to correctly guess the name of the song that’s being spun before it’s over, and you win a free drink ticket.
NOT QUITE FREE:
Artist/Event: 16 Volt, Chemlab, Left Spine Down, Slave Unit
Genre: Cyberpunk/Drum ‘n’ Bass/Electro/Experimental/Industrial/Metal/Punk/Rock
Venue: DNA Lounge, 371 11th St. (@ Folsom)
Time: Doors @ 8:00 p.m., Show @ 9:00 p.m.
Anything Else?: This is one of the stops on the MIDI Ghetto Tour being headlined by 16 Volt and Chemlab, and featuring local favorite Slave Unit (based out of Oakland). Tickets are $10 if you buy them in advance or $15 at the door. And no doubt this goes without saying: this show’s gonna be kick-ass, especially if you like experimental alternative rock music that pulses through your bones. Alas, The Scene will be working. But if you go, post your pictures over at our Facebook fan page!
