"Saturday Night Soul Party"
|
|
|
The current surge of early-reggae and R&B club nights in town shows that the '60s are finally back in an authentic, non-Boomer-centric way. For the last few years, the twice-monthly Saturday Night Soul Party has maintained a spot on the top of the heap. DJs Phengren, Paul Paul, and Pink Panzer... More >> |

Joe Goldmark & The Seducers
|
|
|
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... More >> |

"Punk Rock Sideshow"
|
|
|
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... More >> |

"That '80s Show"
|
|
|
If the 20th Century is far too futuristic for you already, settle back into the '80s, and all its hip-hop glory, at That '80s Show. Bomb Hip-Hop DJs Dave Paul and Jeff Harris spin from the golden era of beats and emcees, or, as they put it, "Cabbage Patch Kids, Rubik's Cube, Live Aid,... More >> |

"Loose Joints"
|
|
|
Since 2007, the DJ trio of Tom Thump, Damon Bell, and DJ Centipede has offered up Loose Joints, the most ass-shakingest weekly survey of African-rooted pop in the city.

"I ♥ the '90s"
|
|
|
As long as humans feel nostalgia, there shall be nights looking back at decades the kids may or may not have been alive to go through the first time. DJ parties focused on the '90s are popping up all over town: the Western Addition version I ♥ the '90s is at Madrone, where... More >> |

"Radical Vinyl: Gay/Not Gay"
|
|
|
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...

"Peaches"
|
|
|
Ever since she was a child, Bay Area DJ ThatGirl has been interested in street art and its connection to the hip-hop movement. However, it wasn't until she attended a rave in 1997 that she discovered her desire to channel this creativity into music, most notably turntablism. She soon purchased... More >> |

"2 Men Will Move You"
|
|
|
In a period of time seemingly dominated by guests from out of town, it's comforting to know that there are still local alternatives. 2 Men Will Move You is a party put together by long-time fixtures on the San Francisco nightlife scene Primo Pitino (of Oldies Night fame) and Jordan Heyser....

Fauxgirls!
|
|
|
As far as we can tell, San Francisco's first drag bar was a happy accident — unofficial history holds that Joe Finocchio established his eventually world-famous "female impersonator" spot in 1936 after hearing a customer in his father's bar imitate Sophie Tucker, known for her risque... More >> |

Baxtalo Drom
|
|
|
If it's dancing girls you want, or if it's a dancing girl you are, Baxtalo Drom is your jam. Deep, deep in the steampunk jungle, this belly-dance-flavored club is rife with old-timey aesthetics, exposed tattooage, and feathers in hairdos. The evening is organized by the very pretty women of... More >> |

"Dub Mission"
|
|
|
DJ Sep Ghadishah has put on the Sunday night Dub Mission party at the Elbo Room for more than 15 years. As local club nights go, that's kind of insane; most survive for only a fraction of that time. But through consistent bookings, DJ Sep has managed not only to keep Dub Mission alive, but to... More >> |

"High Fantasy"
|
|
|
Weekends are for amateurs — the really good stuff happens during the week. Well, that might be a little hyperbolic, but it's certainly true in the case of High Fantasy. Going on for over two years now, the weekly Tuesday night party at Aunt Charlie's is your midweek destination for a dose... More >> |

"Love Will Fix It"
|
|
|
"It's no secret anymore! I've always been a little black girl trapped in the body of a big white bear — and now I'm letting her out!" says local disco DJ Bus Station John. Perhaps best known for his seamy, disco-driven Tubesteak Connection bathhouse revival parties, the past year has seen... More >> |

"The Dip"
|
|
|
According to San Francisco-based hip-hop DJ Ryan Nolan, aka Ry Toast, her two professions of DJing and yoga instructor really aren't that different. Both involve a sweaty crowd whose mood and enjoyment are dependent upon the skillful decision-making of the professional at the front of the room.... More >> |

"Dark Room"
|
|
|
With so much focus on larger venues, it can be easy to lose sight of the local scene. Dark Room is a monthly descent into all things dark, freaky, and high concept. Located at an under-the-radar bar called Hot Spot, the party "blends vintage and new dark electro, punk, industrial, gothic, and... More >> |
