Fun show alert! Our friend Ben books pretty unpredictable shows (sonically that is, the fun is predictable) at the argus. Sometimes you get improv, sometimes you get songs; sometimes you get noise, sometimes you get soothing sounds. This Friday, you get all of the above. Universe and Cloudcraft bring the gentle, Al Qaeda aren’t just being cheeky with their name and Sleepy Beach…
Whoa! I forgot this band existed and now I see there’s new songs up on their myspace page. Sleepy Beach make that cool kid sound (ala oh sees, fresh & onlys, et al) but damn its catchy. It kind of makes me think of the fucked up underbelly of california’s golden era, like thinking about Charles Manson in a present day Obama hope sort of way. Plus, its got some of our friends from over at Roman Meal in it. Don’t miss it!

Puce Moment Plays Club Club You’re Dead July 1st The Stud SF
Gah, I’ve only been able to propagate the legend of the amazing Smashing Pumpkins cover band, Melancholy and the Infinite Radness, through word of mouth because my camera ran out of battery the night of this show. Put together by Myles and Aaron from The Passionistas, these guys ran through some essential ninties listening/modern alt rock classics as a double headed Billy Corgan monster with a bulleted list of reasons why you need to appreciate him more. I thought this was lost forever but, thanks to the miracle internet machine, here’s a bit of proof. PIX! IT HAPPENED!
Perhaps if everybody wishes real real hard the double headed Billy Corgan monster return from eyeliner lake to tell us how much we underappreciate him!
Dudes, new Hunx video. Sonically, Tears On My Telephone continues to explore what is probably the only viable path for girl group sounds: via the ramones in the aftermath of the gay bomb. Visually the video doesn’t stray either, its like a muppet babies version of John Waters or Kenneth Anger (but don’t think there’s no danger, a visit to the clinic is always closer than you think). Surprisingly it seems like the lens, and not the men, is what’s greased up in this video as there’s tons of soft focus action. Its cool though, I think this is the best looking video these guys have done even though I’m not in it and I’m kind of confused by Hunx’s russian widow outfit.
Speaking of World Famous in SF cameos, there’s a few in this one. Keep your eyes peeled for Liza from BRIDEZ and its Brian Glaze man!
Directed by Justin Kelly. Cinematography by David Kavanaugh
Starring Hunx, Brande Baugh, Liza Thorn and Bama

Sorry to crib from The Wire, but this week is crazy busy. They sez “Oddball combo from Portland, Oregon, who I’d always vaguely pegged as noise musicians. This is untrue, however. The music here is freaked out psych rock with wah wah guitar, sinewy sax, randomized male mouth movements and occasional female vocals that remind me a bit of early Fuzzhead. Beware the stone!!”

Sorry to crib from Last.fm, but this week is crazy didn’t get less busy since I plagarized that last bit. They sez: Alex Valentine and Keelin Mayer started Fake Lake in Chicago in 2006 in the space known as The Shappe Shoppe where they hosted many shows. Keelin was also a member Portland’s Evolutionary Jass Band and Djin Teeth (Fangs) as well as Scalpels of Chicago.
COME. Special guests! These bands sound rad! RAVE ON!
hey guys.. waking up late and checking my google reader this morning while listening to Fanuelle stumbled upon this lil gem all over again

Well, we’ve attended, reviewed, taken photos of, played, and made fun of The Mission Creek Music Festival and now in its lucky thirteenth year I’m helping to organize it. If you don’t know much about the festival, its focused on emerging (and established) San Francisco music and art and has been host to some of the most fun shows I’ve been to. Currently the festival is booking, looking for new talent, and taking submissions through SonicBids (which I know is a favorite topic amongst people organizing and applying to festivals).
13th Annual Mission Creek Music And Arts Festial
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Friday May 15, 2009What
13th Annual Mission Creek Music and Arts Festival – CALL FOR ARTISTSWhen
Oakland – Friday, July 10th through Sunday, July 12th
San Francisco – Wednesday, July 15th through Saturday, July 25th
Call For Artists
MCMAF is currently accepting applications from emerging artists. In choosing which performers will play the festival, we use a variety of criteria, mainly the following: 1) Talent and Originality – Are the performers skilled in playing and performing, and do they have something special that we don’t see every day? 2) Popularity – While we are often excited to give new performers a chance, we must be able to pair them with another act that has substantial draw. Imagine if someone threw a festival and nobody came! 3) Professionalism – We expect all performers to promote themselves, be punctual, cooperative, and pleasant to work with.Where To Apply
Apply via Sonic Bids, or by visiting our website at www.mcmf.org

Mission Creek Productions is pleased to announce, the 13th season of San Francisco’s beloved Music and Arts Festival. A variety of Bay Area venues, both big and small, will host a wide array of events including film, dance, art, music and multi-media presentations.MCMAF is an annual collaborative effort presented by a consortium of local independent concert promoters, musicians, artists, filmmakers, dancers and multimedia performance artists. Through this forum, Mission Creek strives to:
- Foster community among local Bay Area artists
- Showcase emerging artists and musicians
- Bring innovative and diverse programming to a wider audience
Mission Creek strives for ethical programming and sponsorship–selecting music and art in a fair and democratic way, and using green and sustainable technology wherever possible.
Mission Creek, a fiscally sponsored project of Intersection for the Arts[1] , was founded in 1996 by local Bay Area musician/artist Jeff Ray. Until Mission Creek, there was no known festival that promoted independent Bay Area musicians and artists. Now in its 13th year, the festival has grown tremendously in size and attendance, from a one-day event with eight bands and an audience of approximately 100 to a multi-day event with up to 180 acts, serving an audience of approximately 5,000.
