Saturday February 23 at Luna’s on 16th Street, check out local faves David Houston, Kepi (Groovie Ghoulies), and Anton Barbeau. Only $6 cover, cheap! How can you not?

As Anton puts it: “It’s david’s regular last-saturday gig and he kindly added me to the bill, knowing i was looking for a pre-leaving gig. kepi will have his “and friends” band, and will maybe then play drums with me. i’m not sure if i’m bringing any other players this time, it’s gonna be what we jazzers call “loose as a feather, duck doctor.” Hmm, I guess that says it all. Or enough anyway.

9:00 PM, all ages welcome. See you there.

You could stay home. Or maybe go to one of these killer shows!

• The Distillery: The Secretions, Final Summation, Capt 9′s & the Knickerbocker Trio, and The Mission Satelite
• Old Ironsides: Rowdy Kate, Red Meat, and the Tip Top Trio
• The Torch Club: Stacie Eakes and the Superfreaks
• Marilyns: Jackie Greene

Old Ironsides hosts a Morrissey vs. Danzig tribute show on October 27 at 9:00 PM. How strange/cool is that? Eight bands will play Morrissey/Smiths and Danzig/Misfits covers. Yow! Check it out…

“This one goes to 11″. So expect it loud and, well, noisy. The 11th annual Norcal Noisefest is happening this Friday (at Luna’s Cafe) and Saturday and Sunday (at the Space Theater). Fifty bands are scheduled. For more information check out the official web site and The Bee’s article here.

Here’s an excerpt from the article:

Noise music certainly isn’t for everyone. If you think that Einsturzende Neubauten is just an anagram for the alphabet, or John Cage is the fighter from “Mortal Kombat,” then Norcal Noisefest might be your soundtrack for a big headache. But open your mind, and all that noise might be music to your ears.

You are hereby warned and invited.

Yeah, they opened in June for a ‘soft opening’, but the REAL grand opening is this weekend, September 8 and 9. They promise food and giveaways. We shall see about that. But they do have over a dozen bands lined up to play. The lineup for both days includes Mumbo Gumbo, Helper Monkeys, Secretions, The Snobs, Pets, Hot Pistol, and many more!
