It might surprise anyone who's heard his booming tenor of a voice, but San Francisco singer-songwriter Bhi Bhiman didn't always want to be a musician. His first chosen profession? Comedian. Which goes some way toward explaining the sharp humor in his lyrics.
"I tried to do [comedy], but...

In the four years since its last full-length, 2008's Magnificent Fiend, Bay Area blooze-psych quintet Howlin Rain hooked up with famous admirer Rick Rubin, who helped midwife new album The Russian Wilds. While guitar-playing frontman Ethan Miller has the band's controls set for the heart of...

Garland Jeffreys has made it almost to age 70 without having to prove a damn thing. This takes some doing when your music includes influences as diverse as Lou Reed, Bruce Springsteen, Dr. John, and reggae, the latter of which Jeffreys likes to throw in when he's least giving a fuck. The word...

Dear fans of the Hold Steady and (the now-legendary) Lifter Puller: Stay positive, for the ever-charismatic Craig Finn is once again gracing a San Francisco stage — and this time, he'll be all by his lonesome. So grab your whiskey, grab your ginger, and settle in to hear material from...

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...

No other sexually ambiguous club night wears its Kierkegaardian handle quite as well as Gay/Not Gay. Guests walking into El Rio on a Monday evening immediately succumb to a meltdown of libidinal uncertainty and psychological ambiguity. Fortunately, DJs Mrs. Robinson and Jenny Hoyston spin a...

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...

Casanova Lounge :
First Tuesday of every month, 9:00pm

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...

We're just dreaming, but here is our dream: to see dive-bar dancers whose attention to detail matches the obsession of Bay Area vintage-music DJs. For example, at Lonely Teardrops' doo-wop night about a year ago, we lost our composure and requested a Claudine Clark song. "I have one," the DJ...
