San Franchella

[BlackSwan]

Every year, San Francisco is lucky enough to get an influx of live music greatness around the dates for Coachella. It can be a tough decision when it gets close to April, so this will serve as a place to track all of the bands playing in San Francisco the two weeks around Coachella (there are extra in there thanks to df). The list isn't huge yet, but already contains a great show for the Saturday night of the festival weekend.

I will continue to update the first post as more shows are announced.

[Vasoline Groove]

Taking a look at the list from last year, we are going to get a lot of good shows.
Got my fingers crossed for PJ Harvey.

Thanks for putting this together.

[dorkfish]

Honestly, between the open dates at GAMH, Fox Oakland, Warfield, Fillmore, The Grand Regency, we're going to likely get a lot more acts. PJ Harvey will probably be at the Warfield or The Grand Regency.

[dorkfish]

I'm not sure if all of those count, technically, but they are playing Coachella.

[BlackSwan]

Now that you posted them, I might as well include them.

Sweet. Looks like we will have plenty of options. Not a bad consolation prize.

I love the sound system at the Warfield. I haven't been to the Regency.

Anyone likely to play at the Greek? Duran Duran or the Strokes maybe?

[BlackSwan]

Unfortunately, it's too early for Greek shows. A Duran Duran show would be interesting, though.

Robert Plant is playing the Greek on 4/22 so I thought there might be a chance.

02/23 - The Love Language @ Cafe Du Nord
04/14 - Gord Downie @ Cafe Du Nord

[dorkfish]

Lightning Bolt show in SF is coming, but I don't know where/when

[ErikFlyingV]

I'm hoping for a PJ Harvey show.

[wmgaretjax]

man i hope it's at terminal in oakland... i hope it's not at a normal venue.

[GeezrRckr]

Lightning Bolt show in SF is coming, but I don't know where/when

i think i'd rather see them at GAMH then on the polo fields. i can look down from the balcony there.

and, i'm going to pick up Kills tix on Sunday. PM me if you want me to get you one.

thanks for doing this, Matt.

I think the Greek's season begins with Robert Plant on 4/22.

there is only one acceptable perspective at a lightning bolt show. if you can't smell brian, something is wrong.

04/15 - Raphael Saadiq with Quadron @ The Grand Regency SF

[GeezrRckr]

fml. what's the likelihood that she'll either wrap back here later on her tour and/or come back through LA?

[dorkfish]

realistically poor. catch her set in the desert.

LA show might be a possibility, at least.
