Film Festival

It seems like there is always something to celebrate in San Francisco, and this week is no exception. Just one week after the historic celebration of the Golden Gate Bridge's 75th anniversary, the Black & White Ball Returns to Civic Center with a glitzy affair featuring Paul Simon, Cyndi Lauper, Janelle Monáe and more. The California Soy & Tofu Festival brings a variety of recipes and booths to Japantown and the Eco Urban Festival highlights sustainability on Union Street. San Francisco party institution Stompy welcomes its 20th year and BFD is back with Jane's Addiction and numerous other bands at Shoreline Amphitheatre, plus an afterparty featuring Simian Mobile Disco. Dine About Town returns with great deals through the first half of June and First Fridays on 24th Street is back with street performances, children's activities, lowriders and more.

at The Independent (8pm)

For Pat Grossi of Active Child, the last two years have been nothing short of enriching.

at 103 Harriet (10pm)

After cutting his teeth on various archaic computers and programs in his early years, Nosaj Thing now resides in the upper echelon of electronic music makers. His distinctly L.A. soundscapes and wild beat tectonics play like vignettes that affect the listener's mind as deeply as he hits their soul. Nosaj Thing creates nothing less than the sound mastery of beat...

What began in 1992 as a small party started by founder Preston Lytton, attending a 'Stompy Party' has become a rite of passage for any dance music aficionado that makes it to SF. The constant quest to keep the event as exciting and memorable as the last one has produced many incarnations...
at Regency Ballroom (9pm)

Scottish five piece Mogwai formed in 1995 and debuted a year later with the single "Tuner/Lower", released on their own Rock Action label. They've since gone on to develop their distinctive style of apocalyptic, yet deeply humanised noise across four albums, establishing the transcendentally effective quiet-loud/quiet-loud dynamic as their very own and spawning a generation of imitators...

It's not hyperbolic bio speak to say that Simian Mobile Disco are one of the most successful electronic music acts around today. It's verifiable fact. Funny thing is, though, the duo of James Ford and James Shaw never planned it that way. Instead, it kind of just happened...
