California Love

STS9 is bringing California Love

Sound Tribe Sector 9 will be returning to the Fox Theater on Saturday, November 22nd. Surely they will throw down for one of their favorite venues. The night before they visit the Wiltern in LA. This will be their first appearance in the Bay area with Alana Rocklin shredding the bass. If you like to get down and dirty, this is the show for you. STS9 has been tearing it up since acquiring the newest member. I for one think they have opened up their sound and are tapping back into their live instrument side. They were fire at High Sierra this year. Fan club members can purchase tickets ahead of the masses on 9/11. I can't think of a better way to blast into the holiday season. Oakland will be rocking the weekend before Thanksgiving. Here's to dancing your ass off and having a good time. See you at the Fox for some Sector. Enjoy.

It's Only Rock & Roll But I Like It...

The Rolling Stones

Mick, Keith, Ronnie and Charlie are back on the road unleashing the greatest rock 'n roll catalogue of hits on the 50 years and counting tour. For those of you who will be in attendance tonight in Oakland, be prepared to get annihilated. With only ten North American cities playing host, the bay area receives some serious love with two shows. Tonight the lads take over the Oracle arena in Oakland. On May 8th they'll invade San Jose. Ticket prices are a bit steep, but it's not everyday that you get to be entertained by the great living institution in rock 'n roll. The Stones' ability to smith timeless songs and their uncompromising longevity have allowed them to remain much more than relevant. They are the conquerors of rock who won't go away because we as fans cannot imagine a world absent The Rolling Stones. The band's magic draws deeply from the songs, or rather, the fountain of youth that they have created. Their artistry endures because it's rooted in tradition - soul/rhythm and blues. Sure I'm a Stones guy, but really who isn't? Here's a glimpse at the L.A. set from May 3rd.

get off of my cloud, the last time, it's only rock & roll, paint it black, gimme shelter, wild horses*, factory girl, emotional rescue, respectable*, doom & gloom, one more shot, honky tonk women, before they make me run, happy, midnight rambler, miss you, start me up, tumbling dice, brown sugar, sympathy, encore: can't always get, j. j. flash, satisfaction. (*special guest)

No one does it like The Rolling Stones because no one else can. They are rock and roll. Witness it live.

atoms for peace

there are some amazing shows going down all over the greater bay area this week. at the wonderful fox theatre in oakland, atoms for peace is playing two nights starting tonight. this band is thom yorke's side project, filled with some great musical personalities. the venue alone is spectacular, than you toss in thom's ability as a performer (he's amazing), making it a gem of a show to catch. the rest of the week is filled with an array of solid artists at this revived cathedral to music.

the very intimate and northern californian mystic theatre, in petaluma, hosted a dark star orchestra show last night & will put up with them again tonight. check this grateful dead tribute band out if you're available, they're great musicians. considering the show they played last night, i'm hoping for a, me and my uncle, or a big river, at their show tonight. enjoy live music.
