Friday Night at The Woods

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

Our friends Westfold have been playing some great new songs around town in the past two weeks, pretty much more experimentation, added screaming, and overall just sounding really tight as a band. You can hear it all this Friday when they play The Woods, show starts at 8pm.

The Flying Skulls at the Hop Monk July 8th

Sunday, July 4th, 2010

I am way out of touch with my people in the Santa Rosa area. I guess that’s why I haven’t heard of “The Best Dance Event in the North Bay” 2 years running (Bohemian). If that alone’s not enough to convince you to check out this event then maybe this year’s ”rag-time hobo theme” will peak your oscillator? San […]

Friday, July 2nd, 2010

The Rumble is back this month with a very exciting show taking place once again at Holocene for free! This time around The Rumble will be featuring What Laura Says, Swim Swam Swum, and Wax Fingers, backed by the electronic pop beats of Portland’s own DJ Skin So Soft. If you have yet to hear […]

Shows this week - California Edition

Monday, June 21st, 2010

Well, despite the damn near incredible music scene here in Portland, it’s true, I do often miss seeing all the great local Sonoma County bands that I used to see so often. So without having to wait until they finally tour up North, I hope to catch these shows while back visiting this week. For […]

Atlas Coffee Opening Party

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

There are few things better on a Sunday afternoon than coffee and great music, so this Father’s Day offer your dad a cup of joe and get ready to act surprised when there happens to be a full party going on at Atlas Coffee in downtown Santa Rosa. Fantastic local bands, Darwin DJing, and enough caffeine to keep you […]

Paper Hands on 5/29

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

Well, it’s not often that I wish I could be back in Santa Rosa, but once in awhile an event comes up that makes me wish that I could afford to just hop on a plane and fly down there at a moments notice. This time, that show is the debut of Paper Hands, featuring […]

Hey Lover and Aristeia show on May Day

Northbay Underground Showcase

Monday, April 19th, 2010

Is it cool for us to follow our previous post by promoting a show that is going on here? Probably not, but just because a venue is lame doesn’t mean the bands that are playing there are–and to be fair I have yet to step foot into the new incarnation of this venue. Anyway, we […]

“Friendfest PDX”

It’s always great to see some familiar faces from back home playing Portland venues, in fact, since moving away I’ve really come to appreciate how much phenomenal music has come out of Sonoma County. I suppose when the venues are sparse, it really makes you work that much harder […]

Total Bros Thursdays!

Total Bros play with people we like, at places we like and we like them…and are originally from Santa Rosa, but they are all here now and have been doing it all around the Portland house show circuit for a few years.

The Dodos were simply Magik*

Friday, February 26th, 2010

The Dodos played with the Magik Magik Orchestra at the Palace of Fine Arts in SF Feb. 24. Photo by Anne Ostrowski
The orchestra and band thing doesn’t always pan out to be the best idea in the world. Death Cab touring with orchestra - yes. Radiohead and strings - sure. Metallica and a symphony? Not […]

Smooth sailing on a rickshaw: Foreign Born and Fresh and Onlys

Foreign Born 2/24/10 Rickshaw Stop, Sf. Photo by nick g.
Last night brought a twinge of nostalgia. Foreign Born played with The Fresh and Onlys at Rickshaw Stop in SF last night as part of the Noisepop festival. I swear there was a touch of Dick Dale and Nelson Mandela in the air.
Fresh and Onlys was […]

Santiago, Moggs, and Lo-Five will be celebrating the release of their 7″ split on Pandacide Records this Saturday at the Guayaki Mate Bar in Sebastopol.
