Who will win the Super Bowl?

Friday, February 5th, 2010

Every year I watch the Super Bowl, never caring about the outcome. Since my team, the 49ers, has not been in for 16 years, I don’t really have a reason to watch. But I still faithfully turn my attention to the advertising blitz that is Super Sunday for my annual display of broishness. Like many […]

GLK DJ’s at Holocene Sunday

Friday, January 29th, 2010

When you go to the bathroom, do you ever feel like you should wash your hands before you do your business? I mean, your hands are out there all day, getting dirty, when your genitals are safe in your pants and protected from the environment! Why not employ a wash-piss-wash strategy? Speaking of sequential […]

Rontoms’ 100th Free Show

Sunday, January 24th, 2010

Rontoms is one of those bars that has absolutely no information on their website, sports only a small insignia on their building front, and basically leaves people completely reliant upon sites like pc-pdx for a weekly lineup for their free Sunday shows. The drinks may not be as cheap as other venues around town but […]

Our very talented friends Kindness and Lies will be playing their North Bay CD release show on December 12th at the always wonderful Last Record Store.

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

The Treasure Island Music Festival

*all photos from treasureislandfestival.com
In it’s third year, the treasure island festival finally sold out. Ticket wise that is. The festival, a past time for me and Annie since its inception in 2007, was packed for both days, meaning more crowds and more craziness. Saturday the 17th was an electronic filled […]

zombiezies

Sunday, October 25th, 2009

Above pic is not from Santa Rosa. It is from The Internet. I cheat.
Downtown Santa Rosa was crawling with zombies this afternoon. Zombies promoting universal health care in the United States.
WTF?
Seemingly strange connection to make, but Michael Houghton of Section M fame felt it was a good way to get the point across that we […]

The June 6th show was so much fun, a special thank you to all of the bands that played that night. All of the sets were incredible and it made us so very happy to be able to have the show in our little basement. If we had it our way, we would do it […]

You win this one CA

Friday, March 27th, 2009

I am very sad that a few months after moving North, there is such a wonderful art show taking place in San Francisco. For everyone in the Bay Area, don’t miss out! As we have posted previously here on tonegazer, we are great admirers of the artwork of Dan McCarthy and assure you this is […]

Snipers!

Sunday, February 15th, 2009

So Modesto was recently rated one of the top 10 worst places to live in the Country (It really is that bad) but, redeeming it for one night will be Snipers, Solar Powered People, and Sleepnoise! I haven’t heard Sleepnoise, but I can definitely vouch for the other two. Come out and make Modesto great […]

LOVE SUCKS ‘09

Friday, February 13th, 2009

I can totally remember the last Love Sucks show I attended. It was years ago at what used to be Clo’s Creamery. It was the first and last time I ever went to a show at that old venue, and I thought it was amazing - an intimate little bar with a full stage set […]
