Just announced shows in San Francisco

[BigBryan]

BFD's special guest(s); Stone Temple Pilots w/ Chester Bennington

"Samsonite!" I was WAY off."

[CrystalCastlesFreak]

Meh. I'll probably end up catching the full C2C set and the beginning of DJ Shadow now.

[BigBryan]

Meh.

Holy shit! CCF just said "Meh" to a band lol
Just teasing. See ya out there with the kids!

[Quaggo]

I just watched them on the KROQ webcast and I liked it. This lineup needed some rock and a band with a hit filled catalog. I think it'll add some energy to that stage. I know this really isn't an STP crowd in this forum, but I think they'll go over well tomorrow.

Lol. I may catch some of that set, but I'm really excited about C2C. I'll be walking around in a blue Minnesota Timberwolves t-shirt. Say hi if you see me. I'll be at the main bar a lot

You just made a new friend.

[CrystalCastlesFreak]

haha . It's one of my favorite shirts.

The STP+ Chester combo seemed weird, though I only heard the last song. DJ Shadow ruled, Diplo was Diplo, in a positive way, pleasantly surprised with the 30 Sec. to Mars /Passion Pit set time change so that Passion Pit could close with a big dance party, but the biggest highlight of the day for me were C2C!

[CrystalCastlesFreak]

C2C definitely rocked the subsonic tent last night. Good lordy they are amazing.

[Quaggo]

Live 105 is saying that BFD was the highest attended event in the history of Shoreline Amphitheatre. I know it was sold out, but many other events there have been sold out, too. I wonder if they were allowed to sell more tix because they had the second stage area and dance tent...

[sbconnection]

Is anyone interested in seeing Boris with me tonight at the Rickshaw? Some well orchastrated experimental Japanese metal? Good way to wrap up your boring Tuesday evening... and they have a frikken GONG!

[Kyliediscope]

Let's grab a drink beforehand!

[AlecEiffel]

As a man of nearly 30 I'm too old to go to Pop Scene under pretty much any circumstance, correct? There is a band playing in July that I'd really like see, but last time I went was probably seven or eight years ago and I felt too old then. Has anyone been to see a band there since it moved to the Rickshaw? Is it as bad as I imagine it is?

Let me know how it is. I am pretty certain I am going tomorrow, but the last time I was at the rickshaw the sound was terrible and I could barely enjoy myself.

I went a Rickshaw for Popscene a couple years ago for the Hood Internet. It was as crowded as popscene ever is/was with SF hipsters, but I didn't feel as old as I do at BFD, Spookfest, etc. I know its still an 18+ club but if there's a band that you're interested in an into, go! I wouldn't let the popscene age deter you from seeing a band or artist.

I went more often in the 330 Rich days while I was living in SF and going to State, and I'll still say that popscene had the best girl:guy ratio of any club or club night I've ever been to.

[Kyliediscope]

Popscene was not awful when I went last time. Super crowded, yes, but not awful!

Agreed...The last time I went was also at 330 for Foals back in '07, met plenty of women that night, fantastic time. I was 30 at that time.

[AlecEiffel]

Well, I'm married so I'm not really worried about the girl to guy ratio, but it's heartening to hear that I won't necessarily feel like an old man in a sea of shit faced 18 year olds.

[ruskinator]

I know no one gives a s**t but Bjork just came into my bookstore (I work in Marin) and it was rather magical.

[lt.roast.a.botch]

Also depends who you see. Flume was crowded and pretty awful. Alt J was the exact opposite and skewed older

[Ross1492]

6/14: Actress (live), Falty DL (live) @ 1015 Folsom

[sbconnection]

Did you exchange any words with Bjork??? Wow that does sound magical.

[chiapet]

You're not too old to go to Popscene unless you decide you're too old. I haven't been to one of their shows for a long while, but I don't remember the crowds being that young really.

Is anyone else going to Bjork tomorrow night?

6/14: Actress (live), Falty DL (live) @ 1015 Folsom

Pissed I will be away when this is happening... I would brave 1015 for it.

[sbconnection]

No I'm going on Saturday

I did.

[zachyd]

Let me just say that Holy Ghost was the fuckin party last night! Didn't realize these guys were so talented live. And their new material is amazing as well. Definitely a must see again.
Hoping for Treasure Island!

Also, Classixx were great openers. Very talented dudes doing the live sampling and playing some guitar as well. Great show!

[guedita]

Have they become more animated on stage? Because they were an embarrassing snooze fest when they opened up for LCD Soundsytem a few years ago.

Didn't see them a couple years ago but they seemed quite animated when I saw them in LA on Monday. Really fun show.
