He got his start producing icily aggressive gangsta rap beats for Harlem's Dipset crew, but AraabMuzik — the stage moniker of Rhode Island native Abraham Orellana — is pioneering a new flavor of moody electronica. As numerous online videos prove, Orellana is a virtuoso of the MPC, a...

|
Toshio Hirano is a time- and continent-jumping troubadour. He grew up in Tokyo, coming of age when the American folk revival was also hitting Japan, but a chance listen to a Sunday afternoon radio program introduced him to the sound of southern Appalachia. Fast-forward through moves to...

The term "gaucho" commonly refers to nomadic South American cowboys, which is pretty indicative of how the San Francisco band Gaucho plays its version of Gypsy jazz: in Gaucho's hands, le jazz manouche is left playfully unchained to the genre's European historical foundations, allowing the...

The Riptide :
Second Sunday of every month, 7:00pm

The Riptide's signature brick fireplace was veiled behind red velvet curtains on a recent Sunday night, but the Outer Sunset dive still carried the strong scent of burning embers from the night before. Most days the Taraval Street bar is the stamping ground for surfers, punks, and working-class...

You can blame Al Gore for the dearth of quality punk rock in the jukeboxes of America. Not because of his li'l censor-happy P.M.R.C. wife (who's done plenty of damage, no doubt), but because Al had to go and invent the internet. What a bum! Even dives with great jukes are phasing out their...

In this shitty economy sometimes you have to choose between beer, rock 'n' roll, and dinner. Not tonight. At the monthly Hot Dogs & Asteroids event, the Casanova makes you pay for the booze, but the rock and the hot dogs are free. The "powerpop, bubbleglam, and punk 'n' roll" DJs...

If you've spent any significant time in the punk underground, no doubt you've been forced to draw your own personal "Emo Line," i.e., the line your Superior Musical Taste won't allow you to cross when the music gets too pop, too pouty, or too un-punk to admit liking in public. This...
