Smallness Of Reason

Made a trip down to Santa Cruz Saturday to see David’s friend, Jesse Balmer’s, art show at The Krate. His art is so amazingly detailed, bizarre and also really beautiful. He has no formal art school training and it shows, he hasn’t lost his personality from years of art school trying to perfect “technique”.  Too [...]

Japandroids

Saw Japandroids play at the Rickshaw Stop (one of my favorite venues) on Sunday. Surfer Blood opened the show and were actually worth watching. I’d download their music. Japandroids were pretty good, a punk/rock drum guitarist duo from Washington. The drummer is really good. The guitarist/singer is…strange. He had a fan on stage blowing his [...]

Boys Noize

  Headed out to Mighty for the Boys Noize show Saturday night. Got there about midnight and there was a line around the building of people hoping to get last minute tickets. Mighty is a pretty awesome club, except the pillars all over the room make it really hard to see, the bartenders are fast, [...]

Treasure Island Music Festival (Saturday!)

We decided to drive to the Island instead of taking the bus, which turned out to work perfectly. Made it to the Treasure Island Music Festival around 2, just in time for Passion Pit. Danced our asses off in the boiling sun! The best Passion Pit show I’ve seen so far, they actually moved around [...]

Hardly Strictly Bluegrass 09

Had to walk eight blocks to get into golden gate park to watch Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival. Was completely worth the long walk. We went straight to the food. Can’t remember the name of the vender but we got killer gyros and garlic fries topped with crab meat… it was hella good! Once revived we [...]
