"This New York-based chamber cabaret outfit is led by the striking, androgynous figure of singularly named performance artist Antony. His unusual background saw him relocating from his native England at the age of 10 to be raised in California. He moved to New York in 1990 to attend the experimental theatre wing at NYU...

"Deerhunter began in 2001 with the ambition of fusing the lulling hypnotic states induced by ambient and minimalist music with the klang and propulsion of garage rock. The band has weathered chaotic line-up changes, the death of a member, and much discouragement. Their live performances almost always leave audiences polarized..."

Come enjoy an excellent assortment of beer, wine, cocktails and some of SF's finest Sushi by Ichi Sushi at a player's price.

"Inducted into the prestigious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006, Blondie emerged as the great pop icons of New York's celebrated late '70s new wave punk scene by defying easy categorization. They wrote great rock hooks and brilliant, ironic lyrics. They had the hippest clothes and the coolest hair. Debbie Harry went from the pages of Punk magazine to being on the cover of just about every mainstream publication on the newsstands..."

"After Pavement announced they were going on hiatus at the end of 1999, the status of one of America's finest indie rock bands was a mystery for the first half of 2000. It became clearer that summer, however, when it was revealed that both singer/songwriter/guitarists Stephen Malkmus and Scott Kannberg were preparing solo albums..."

"According to Thao Nguyen, she has two talents: her first is she has a knack for beat-boxing and humming at the same time (Rahzel needn't worry about any competition just yet though...) and her second, and in her opinion finest, is that she had a capacity to watch so much TV as a kid, she's convinced her personality is made up of several different sitcom characters..."

"Powerfully interesting piece of theater--one that sends creeps down its audience's spine at the same time it prods their intellect...This is a solid, satisfying production from a company seemingly blessed with strong actors capable of making intelligent choices...This should not be missed."

"Rio en Medio is composed of songwriter/producer Danielle Stech-Homsy and a continuously evolving cast of friends and guest artists. Aligning herself with visual art, film and literature as much as music, Danielle's primary influences are the textures, sounds and patterns found in nature, the human voice, the sacred, childhood, dreams, language, chance and divination..."

"Before she began composing and performing her own quirky, intricate pop songs, Annie Clark proved her musical prowess as part of Glenn Branca's 100 Guitar Orchestra, as guitarist and background vocalist for the Polyphonic Spree (on their third album, Fragile Army), and as a member of Sufjan Stevens' touring band..."

Featuring a talented cast of comedians including: Dan Gabriel, Joey Guila, Ali Wong, Kevin Shea, Rex Navarrete (Headlining)with Air Tabigue as host.

"Astounding talents, beautiful beauties, inevitable and incessant circus, live music, DJ and dancing action! Gush with gumptionly glee as your evening's hosts Vau de Vire Society and Gooferman meld mettle with their bare hands -- sirens of circus and kings of klown-fi united in a truly naughty, bombastic maraud!"

Acclaimed as the largest competition of American wines in the world and San Francisco's premier tasting experience, the SFCWC Public Tasting is held at Fort Mason Center's Festival Pavilion and features award winning wines from across the news.

Take the best of a city's 2D, 3D, and motion designers and throw them on a stage, with judges hovering, music blaring, minutes ticking down on the clock, a fast-talking MC on the mic, and their reputations on the line. Add to that a tech setup that registers every mouse click and tapped command from each designer's workstation and projects them live and in real time on one of the large-scale displays...

"For his contributions over the last 30 years, vocalist/guitarist Bob Mould is known as one of the most influential figures in alternative rock music. During the 1980s, Mould was the front man for punk and hardcore pioneer Husker Du. In the 1990s..."

"A.C. Newman pens melodies that seem to have sprung from the collective unconscious and then encases them in bright, lush power-pop arrangements." - Rolling Stone

"He was country music royalty before he ever sang a note. But he didn't immediately follow his forebears musically, choosing instead to bang around the Southeast, playing drums in punk and hardcore combos and smoking prodigious amounts of weed. It was the outlaw spirit of his lineage, alive and unwell and floating in the bong water..."

Toronto band featuring ex-members of Unicorns and Arcade Fire, playing SF for the very first time. "This sounds like baroque pop at times, then at others, like *sob* the Unicorns. Sorry, you can't deny the connection. It sounds exactly like what they'd be making these days: the start-stop thing, the abrupt, sharp hooks, the short little spastic jams."

If you've dreamed about Africa but haven't yet visited the motherland, you are invited to sample a spectrum of the best the Diaspora has to offer at "Africa Rising," a new event combining food, music, art, and fashion - all with an African theme.

"Sound Tribe Sector 9's debut effort, Interplanetary Escape Vehicle (1998), was recorded soon after the group's formation and provides only scant hints of what the sound the band would develop, instead focusing on somewhat generic instrumental funk and jazz grooves. With the addition of percussionist..."

"The San Francisco debut of Shoshinz, two delightful, musical maids that dazzle with their absurdist song, dance, and physical comedy. "Shoshinz" is anglicized Japanese for "shy, timid people," but Shoshinz are maids who are subservient to nothing and no-one. These two maids never speak any words, but they sing and dance and make a variety of sounds with their bodies."
