The Pixies, Rain Machine Fox Theater - Oakland	Sun., November 8, 8:00pm	Downtown Oakland	All Ages Indie Rock
Pixies' influence on modern rock is well documented, but the fact remains that no other band has been able to match its exquisite mix of pop hooks and unabashed weirdness. The bigger and balder version of the band took several long-awaited victory laps a few years ago. Now Pixies have boarded... More >>

The Dutchess & the Duke, Greg Ashley, El Olio Wolof Bottom of the Hill	Sun., November 8, 9:00pm	Potrero Hill	Acoustic All Ages Indie Rock
Breakups can be brutal, but the worst part is the dread before the expected split. Once you're single, your slate is nearly clean. It's when you haven't yet left the comforts of a relationship that a chilling sort of isolation sets in. The Dutchess and the Duke's latest record, Sunset/Sunrise,... More >>

15 Degrees Below Zero, Mem1 The Luggage Store	Thu., November 12, 8:00pm	South of Market	All Ages Ambient Experimental
Local experimental outfit 15 Degrees Below Zero traverses the boundary between chance and control, playing inside a loose compositional wireframe that's more defined than those preferred by pure-improv noiseniks, but with the sonic details nevertheless fleshed out via aleatory improvisational...

Fuck Buttons, Growing, Chen Santa Maria Bottom of the Hill	Fri., November 13, 10:00pm	Potrero Hill	All Ages Electronica Indie Noise Rock
Despite using a name you wouldn’t repeat in polite company, the London instrumental duo Fuck Buttons really isn’t that unpalatable. This month’s Tarot Sport even ditches the background screams and most of the fevered tribal rhythms of last year’s debut, Street Horrrsing.... More >>

Russian Circles, Young Widows, Helms Alee Bottom of the Hill	Sun., November 15, 9:00pm	Potrero Hill	All Ages Rock
The Young Widows drop some of the deepest, meatiest bass guitar sounds since the heyday of '90s post-punk, when lead-heavy noise rock bands ruled much of the scene (and ruined even more of the scene's hearing). This Louisville power trio combines menace and melody like a new re-imagining of the... More >>

Julian Casablancas The Regency Ballroom	Tue., November 17, 8:00pm	Nob Hill/ Russian Hill	All Ages Hipster Rock
Long the Strokes' slurred voice of sleazy cool, Julian Casablancas has become the latest member of that band to indulge in a side project. In his case, it's an eight-song solo album, Phrazes for the Young. Swimming in retro synths and elastic guitar lines, it's a clear love letter to his '80s... More >>

Raphael Saadiq Fox Theater - Oakland	Wed., November 18, 7:30pm	Downtown Oakland	All Ages Soul
Oakland native Raphael Saadiq first came to national prominence with his '80s R&B group Tony! Toni! Toné! He found subsequent success as a Grammy-winning solo artist and producer of R&B hits, including D'Angelo's flesh-baring "(Untitled) How Does It Feel." Though he has always been... More >>
