Battlehooch

Wed, September 08, Doors: 9:30 pm - Show: 10:00 pm - 21+ - $5      Artist Website

pop/rock/experimental

They've been called everything from "pure art rock sunshine" to "deliberately obnoxious." Battlehooch unabashedly walks the line between pop sensibility and avant-garde experimentation, bending the chaotic into the melodic and evoking passionate responses in everyone that hears them. For their self-titled album (released April 16th on Vinyl), Battlehooch sought to capture the raw energy of their infamous live show without sacrificing their characteristic musical sophistication. After polishing new material on tours across the west coast, the band returned home to San Francisco to lay down the tracks live in the studio. The result is an incredibly rich and dynamic record that recalls musical shapeshifters like Os Mutantes, The Mothers of Invention, Fiery Furnaces and the Flaming Lips, while never shying away from the opportunity to roll out sweet vocal melodies and considerate songwriting. See them live on their national tour in Summer 2010.

Agent Ribbons

Thu, September 09, Doors: 7:30 pm - Show: 8:00 pm - 21+ - $7      Artist Website

garage/rock/pop/country/experimental

Agent Ribbons isn’t just a band–it’s a tree house club of post-feminist dreamers trying to find their place in the scheme of things, like a hand-sewn and lovingly-crafted garment in a modern, disposable world. Musically, an impeccable taste in influences (from the Zombies to Eartha Kitt, The Breeders to the Velvet Underground, and beyond…) helps them find a sound that is both classically informed and yet innovative and fresh sounding. They miraculously reconcile seemingly-unrelated genres and make it seem easy, sounding something like Girls in the Garage doing the Three Penny Opera.

The bandmembers have played together for 5-7 years, and right now we are all living together in Stockholm, doing what we love! Writing songs, baking bread, screaming at our laptops, playing Alias, drinking beer, watching cable and recording our songs at decibel...

Hayes Carll

Sat, September 11, Doors: 7:00 pm - Show: 8:00 pm - 21+ - $12      Artist Website

folk/americana/country

Hayes Carll delivers songs born of baptism-by-fire experience, world weary observations and sharp wit. While his songs draw from Texas songwriting heroes such as Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark, Carll has managed to put a stamp on his music that is truly his own. As a performer, Carll’s clever anecdotes, genuine sincerity and self-deprecating humor invites listeners in to his world. His confidence and charisma are second only to the quality of his songwriting. Audiences relate to his songs because he sings to them as friends, immediately breaking down any barrier that might normally exist between the stage and audience.

Judgement Day

Sun, September 12, Doors: 5:00 pm - Show: 5:30 pm - All Ages - $5      Artist Website

metal/progressive/rock

Brothers Anton and Lewis Patzner of Judgement Day have been bringing their unique, high-energy brand of “string metal” to rabid audiences for over half a decade now. Their innovative style and shredding chops on violin and cello have earned them US and European tours with buzz bands like Mates of State and dredg and guest spots on the albums of heavy-weights from Bright Eyes to Slash. Add to the line-up the heavy-hitting, double-kick-pedaling drummer Jon Bush and an extensive array of vintage effects pedals and you’ve got a highly unique concoction that TheBayBridged.com calls “a distinctly progressive, experimental take on the guitar-less metal band, taking full advantage of the strengths of the strings while pushing the sound in unexpected directions.”

You, Me, and Everyone We Know

Mon, September 13, Doors: 5:00 pm - Show: 5:30 pm - All Ages - $10      Artist Website

indie/powerpop/rock

“How did we get here?” is the question that seems to be most heavily weighing on the collective mind of You, Me, and Everyone We Know in these last few months. After all, their decision to head into the studio to record a follow up to their 2006 release Party For The Grown and Sexy wasn’t one made months in advance with the utmost of care and planning; It was instead brought on by a van fire that destroyed most of their possessions and the place they had come to call home. In the year leading up to this event, You, Me, and Everyone We Know, comprised of Ben Liebsch, Rico Vigil, Aaron Stern (formerly of Matchbook Romance), and Noel Milford, took the stage at South By Southwest, Bamboozle, Warped Tour and supported tours for such acts as I Am The Avalanche, The Dear Hunter, Four Year Strong, Just Surrender, Every Avenue, Sing it Loud, and The Color Fred just to name a few.

Wormrot

Mon, September 13, Doors: 9:30 pm - Show: 10:00 pm - 21+ - $8      Artist Website

grind/metal/thrash

Wormrot started out as a death-grind project formed by Arif (Ex-Flesh Disgorged vocals) on vocals and Acit (Septikaemia, Hellghast) on drums. They took in Halim (Arbitrary Element, Cardiac Necropsy) to fill in the bass. Arif met an old high school friend Rasyid who had just completed his national service (2007) by a chance meeting through a mutual friend and was invited to try out on the guitars. A couple of jamming sessions followed yet they couldn't find a comfortable stride. Arif and Rasyid decided to go on their own to form a grindcore band, retaining 'Wormrot' as their band name. Fitri was a friend of Arif in camp while they were serving their national service. He fitted the empty drum slot comfortably and secured himself in the first jamming session with an unforgetable incident involving the drumset, beer and vomit. In a few months, they recorded a 9-track demo (2007), but Fitri had personal issues to tend to so he pulled himself out from the band. Still writing and experimenting with drum machine programs, Wormrot remained a 2-man band for a few months until Arif introduced Ibrahim (Nympholepsy) who brought a death-metal play into the field. 'Dead' EP (2008) was recorded (line-up: Arif, Rasyid, Ib) and self-released in Singapore and Malaysia, and soon after in the US and Indonesia by Legion Productions and Speed Thrash Attack respectively.

Hot Hot Heat

Tue, September 14, Doors: 7:00 pm - Show: 8:00 pm - 21+ - $15      Artist Website

indie/experimental/rock

If Future Breeds, the latest studio release from Hot Hot Heat, is proof of anything, it’s that sometimes it takes a while to see things clearly. It’s taken a decade of tours, albums, line-up changes and label switches—all rewarded with building commercial and critical success—for Hot Hot Heat to fine-tune its vision. But with Future Breeds, all that toil has coalesced into the band’s most thrilling effort to date, one that coincidentally brings it full circle. On Future Breeds, Hot Hot Heat returns to its roots both metaphorically and literally with a hot-wired and proud party album throbbing with spontaneity and creativity. When the band began writing Future Breeds, front man Steve Bays, along with band mates Paul Hawley and Luke Paquin, sought to recapture the energy and sheer love for the art form that drove the late-nineties Vancouver punk scene from which the band emerged.
