OSL Nightlife

As the masses make their way to the Southern California Desert for the newly expanded Coachella Music Festival, many Bay Area music fans are sitting comfortably at home as some of the top headliners make stops at local venues and other quality acts touch down at some of San Francisco's smaller stages. Sonic Youth guitarist Lee Ranaldo introduces his new solo album to San Francisco for the first time and Latin funk band Brownout - a sleeper act at SXSW that backed the Wu-Tang Clan's GZA for a live closing-night show - performs at the Elbo Room. The Giants are back at AT&T Park for their home-opener Friday, and there's more fun outside with the Japantown Cherry Blossom Festival, the Divisadero Art Walk and Sunday Streets in Golden Gate Park. Le Castle Vania and Modeselektor provide late-night club options and beat enthusiasts can learn how to make their own at a Free Beatmaking workshop for aspiring DJs.
