Oh! Concerts to attend. Maybe.


Storyhill

Kristin Hersh

Indigo Girls

Squirrel Nut Zippers

Bjorn Again

An all-day event (yeah, one of those) with lots of bands including: Social Distortion, Interpol, Queens of the Stone Age, and a local band I like, the Lovemakers. Another local band, Tiger Army, will be playing, but I don't know anything about them, except they're from Berkeley and their style is "psychobilly."

And the Berkeley International Folk Festival @ Freight & Salvage will include a couple of Nields, Austin Willacy (whom I met in passing when he was with the a cappella group, the House Jacks), and lots of other performers.


(rabbijeffty, Ima Robot will be at Slim's on June 10. You know I'm not interested, but figured you might be.)

(debmats, glad you were able to use the Elliott Yamin info for his Slim's gig.)

The Zippers are touring again? Whaaaaaaaaa?

For some reason, I never thought of you as the Social-D type, Joey!

Hee! You knew I had a punk side, didn't you? And a new wave (not new age!) side, too? While not hardly their biggest fan, I'd seen Social D more than once, though not in a loooong time. Figured I'd mention them in that huge line-up.

In the late 70's/early 80's there was a lot of weird live music in San Francisco. In addition to the venues, the branch where I worked, in downtown SF, had music companies and their artists as clients. And musicians who might not have accts would still come in to cash checks. I remember speaking with Jello Biafra & Klaus Fluoride (Dead Kennedys), Debora Iyall (Romeo Void), and folks who performed with Carlos Santana and Narada Michael Walden. I even got free tix to shows every now and then. Kool & the Gang! I turned some down, most memorably for a "new hard rock band called 'Metallica' or something like that." Their name, at the time, kind of scared me.

It still amuses me. I was okay with bands named "Dead Kennedys," "Meat Puppets," and "Black Flag," but not "Metallica." LOL!

Well, Metallica is the only scary one in that list. ;-)

(Thanks for mentioning Ima Robot, but I don't love them enough to go to Slim's.)
