Great Night Out
By John Zaterka (05/19/2004)

" May turns electric, eclectic and experimental. The Bay Area has always been home to the great experimenters. The next few weeks bring in a amazing array of boundary pushing talent from Buckethead to the highly visual multimedia shows of the Kronos Quartet and RJD2. Salty old punks the New Model Army come over from across the pond to play the DNA. And the good old East Bay delivers two of their finest: Rogue Wave and Hyim & the Fat Foakland Orchestra all roll into town for your Great Night Out. "

Mark Lombardi
By Reyhan Harmanci (04/02/2004)

" It's easy to mythologize artists who die before their work reaches the widest audience; it's easier still when they, tragically misunderstood, kill themselves. In Mark Lombardi's case, though, one feels that his work is so timely, it is a cosmic conspiracy that he is not around to comment on events since the second George Bush took office. In a traveling exhibition entitled "Global Networks," five pieces of from larger collection of drawings shown in New York have arrived at Yerba Buena. "
