How big will this craze get? Is it an arsonist who started with port-a-pottys and has now graduated to autos? Is it bored school kids? Is it the staff and volunteers for the Mission Creek Music Festival now that they have nothing to do?
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Police Department’s anonymous tip line at (415) 575-4444.
Its a big gay party at the el rio tonight, come have fun with us, myles, hunx, the icy lytes and alexxxis!
7/24 @ El Rio
Hunx & His Punx – http://www.myspace.com/hunxsolo
Hunx, of Gravy Train!!! fame, strikes out on his own, exploring what is probably the only viable path for girl group sounds: via the ramones in the aftermath of the gay bomb. Hunx’s music harkens back to doo-wop and classic rock-n-roll groups like The Ronettes — except dirtier, queerer, and with abs-and-tights instead of beehives. Hunx, the man, is not only cute, but his songs will make you smile.
Icy Lytes – http://www.myspace.com/icylytes
ICY LYTES is an LA duo formed in the spring of ‘08. Fresh as Bel Air royalty, MO’NEEX & BEEX have paired up at the peak of all things hyphy-crunk-ghettofab and flashy as their name states. Much like a chicken incessantly laying eggs, Beex drops remixes, beats, edits, and rhymes scrambled into the dirtiest, dopest, homegrown LA sounds, while MO’NEEX is unleashed, causing jams like LA traffic…but no one can stop her flow.

I’m so sad Ginger’s Trois has closed I’m almost afraid to visit the locations new incarnation.
Back in the early 90’s I used to drink and laugh with my friend Frederick Thomas at Ginger’s and we used to joke that if we went to Ginger’s to drink too often we developed a form of bar face called Ginger’s Trois’kinsons. It’s reputation for being an establishment with a friendly and comfortable atmosphere made the place famous. It was always fun to stop in and have a drink. Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose. The new site is run by the folks at Bourbon & Branch so the drinks will be good but there is potential for douchebaggery with the clientele.

Girls, the lovely pop band that’s taking the music world by storm, bring their summer time pop to club club you’re dead. Its like if Oasis was ripping off the Beach Boys instead of Beatles. Come catch ‘em before they’re so big Mylie Cyrus is opening for them.

Hey y’all, Green Living, the new record by Brian Glaze, is due for release on July 28th but we’re taking pre-orders starting now. Pre-orders of the vinyl come with a free mp3 download of the album!
Brian Glaze’s notoriety as the original drummer in the Brian Jonestown Massacre is forever eclipsed by his status as a singer/songwriter with his new LP, Green Living, out July 13 on World Famous In San Francisco. This “best of” collection of home recordings makes fora surprisingly cohesive album with a strong narrative arc.
In the past Glaze has collaborated in the studio and on the road with Greg Ashley of Gris Gris fame, here Brian has constructed every recording by himself and the result is his most focused effort to date best evidenced in what proves to be the definitive take on “Bad News.” This moody atmospheric demo truly conjures up the feeling that bad news is indeed lurking in the shadows no matter where you go and is sooner or later bound to turn up. Songs like “Leader of The Band” a strange mash-up of classic Elton John la la la’s and Ariel Pink’s densely layered production is pure pop with a hip lo-fi aesthetic. “Killing Time”recalls shades of Creation Records psychedelic pop band Revolving Paint Dream while “Silver Ashes” mines the territory of late 70’s new wave. The last song on the LP, “Shake Shiloh,” find’s Glaze literally singing “Goodbye” to the listener. Bringing a true sense of closure to an intensely personal musical experience. This record proves that the strength of the song and the highly personal nature of home demo recordings are tough to improve upon. This is Brian Glaze at his best.

Give Me Some Peppermint FreedomJune 19 – July 18, 2009
opening Friday, June 19th, 6-9pmThe Jancar Jones Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibit of new work by San Francisco-based artist, Chris Lux, titled Give Me Some Peppermint Freedom.
In his second solo show with the gallery, Lux will present a series of new oil paintings and sculptures. Drawing from historic regional movements, his anti-slick yet modern aesthetic embraces Bay Area figuration while incorporated found objects invoke funk assemblage. His use of vague representation achieved through the rapid application of paint owes itself, in part, to the more recent New Image sensibility while evoking his own distinctly manic gestures.
In his new work, Lux moves away from his previous, more graphic style toward looser abstract compositions. With a focus on the sculptural qualities of the paintings, Lux experiments with variations in stretcher size and installation techniques to effectively alter the gallery’s navigable space.
Chris Lux was born in San Francisco and received his BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute. His work has been exhibited at the Luggage Store in San Francisco, Tree House Gallery in Los Angeles, and Dam, Stuhltrager Gallery in New York.
For more information please contact Eric Renehan Jones or Ava Jancar at info@jancarjones.com or visit www.jancarjones.com. Gallery hours: Thursday – Saturday, noon – 6pm and by appointment.
Which artist on World Famous in San Francisco has neighbors complaining that said artist plays their own music incessantly?
Which lovable local DJ (who is straight male identified) was overheard at Club Feral asking “how many straight guys do you think are here?” Only to have it pointed out that many of the guys in the club were FTM transgender. At first he didn’t believe it but after a second look he began to question everyone’s gender, so much so that after the club on his walk home a homeless woman pulled her pants down to prove to Mr. DJ that she was all woman! Relax honey, it’s all good.
Which local musician/composer who often boasts of his credentials was almost banned from a hip mission coffee joint? Seems like the staff can’t stand him.
Which local musician, who seems to be in every band on the scene, is not only a music whore but an actual prostitute? Let’s hope he practices safe sex!
Which two local gay identified bands have a heated rivalry? Don’t expect to see them on the same bill! Can you feel the hate tonight?
Which local artist has a reputation for being a racist? Careful how much you drop the “n” word! People are talking.
Sorry no comments, Randy you got SOME OF THEM RIGHT!. We never reveal blind items.
listen!
