What are you hungry for? Good music, good food, good times? You're in luck because this week there is plenty of it all. Tonight rock out with your big hair out as Duran Duran takes over The Fillmore. Then check out punk artist and porn actor extraordinaire Zak Smith as he presents his latest book We Did Porn at Moe's Books and City Lights. You could also head downtown for tattoo-god Ed Hardy's book-signing at SFMOMA. By Friday night you should have worked up a sufficient appetite in time for Cafe Montmartre presented by graffEats guerrilla dining and set at a secret location. Yum. This weekend the Frozen Film Festival, showcasing indie filmmakers and musicians, offers an eclectic array of movies and concerts culled especially for your enjoyment. On Saturday head to the beach for Sand by the Ton at American Steel Studios in the East Bay. There'll be five swimming pools, eight stages, and two hundred tons of sand. The next day take part in the bike ride of all bike rides: the Ice Cream Sunday Bike Ride. Meeting at Humphry Slocombe, you'll wind your way to six tasty ice cream joints. If that doesn't make you hungry, we don't know what will.

at The Fillmore (9pm)

"Duran Duran personified new wave for much of the mainstream audience. And for good reason, too. Duran Duran's reputation was built through music videos, which accentuated their fashion model looks and glamorous sense of style. Without music videos, it's likely that the band's pop-funk -- described by the group as the Sex Pistols meets Chic -- would never have made them international pop stars..."

At the age of 10, Don Ed Hardy recognized the unique force of tattoo art. Growing up in the center of 1950s and early 1960s California pop culture, he went on to earn an art school degree and then learned to tattoo by apprenticing himself to master artists. Over the last 40 years, Hardy has revolutionized this ancient tradition...

at Hemlock Tavern (9pm)

"San Francisco's Assemble Head in Sunburst Sound is a soundtrack for strange days and futures bright and bleak.

Kode 9 hyperdub sound is difficult to define, sometimes with beats, sometimes without, sometimes with a vocalist, sometimes without - the only continuity is the heavy sub bass.

at Shoreline Amphitheatre (7pm)

"Coldplay never intended to become England's favorite rock & roll sons when their signature rock melodies ruled the charts throughout 2000. The Brit rock quartet, composed of Chris Martin (vocals/piano), Jon Buckland (guitar), Will Champion (drums), and Guy Berryman (bass) -- yearned to mess around a bit, plucking their own acoustics for fun while attending the University College of London..."
