It is finally here! Tricycle Records has released the 5th installment of their local music compilation entitled, Friends of Tricycle Records 5!

Annie Girl and the Flight have outdone themselves with a vibrant social commentary on cultural complications in the Bay Area and beyond. Making an appreciated attempt to return the power to a young, talented Black woman who seems to get played no matter what playing field of life she chooses to step on, Annie Girl and the Flight´s video for their song, Antidote paints a very vivid picture of how it feels to be Black and female in America. The Deli is always into poingent reflections on diversity and empathy for others who give everything they have and sometimes fall short, ending up with their hands in the air for no reason at all. This is a great video!

¨The video features a political statement about racial profiling by the police and also cameos from many local San Francisco musicians.¨

Annie Girl and The Flight will be supporting Micachu & the Shapes on November 10th at Rickshaw Stop in San Francisco.

The ever talented San Francisco producer and DJ, Al Lover is releasing a new album entitled, Zodiak Versions. He´s one of the best and brightest young mixologists and we´re always pleased to learn when his new music surfaces!

Zodiak Versions – a twelve track LP. The brain behind it, Al Lover, has said it best with his own words: It´s all about the groove! Hiphop, bass, kraut, rave culture, psych, dub, tribal music – it´s all there in Al Lovers universe. But that´s not the main point. Neither is the fact the he´s been compared to artists and producers like J-Dilla, Edan, Sun Araw and Gaslamp Killer. Or that some of his remixes includes artists like Goat and White Fence. The interesting part of Zodiak Versions is the entirety of the album. A fluid listening experience. The samples, looping and editing will make you zone out. Beats and ambient bliss for all the dubbed up heads out there!

Zodiak Versions will be released on vinyl/Digital world wide the27th of November through Höga Nord Rekords (Europe) and The Reverberation Appreciation Society (North America) But is available for pre-order today atshop.hoganord.com

It´s always a pleasure to premiere new music and this premiere is no less exciting than any other. The San Francisco based electro-art pop band, Breakdown Valentine has released a new song in celebration of the Halloween season. It´s never to late to indulge in some spooky new tunes…well, maybe there´s a cut off line, but today is not that day!

Enjoy Breakdown Valentine´s brand new track, Haunted Punx!

After some time of keeping away from the limelight, we’re revving up for a fun release set for Halloween… We’ll be releasing an indie electro-art-pop song that’s a bit different from our usual pop-structured material. We’re still finalizing mixes for an upcoming second EP, but for now the track HAUNTED PUNX is the new release set for Halloween. – Olivia of Breakdown Valentine

We´re excited to announce a great upcoming Bay Area based double album release show! The San Francisco based electro indie pop band, Dirty Ghosts will be celebrating the release of their new album, Let It Pretend (you can stream the album here) which was released on October 2nd through Last Gang Records.

“Any time a punk band starts experimenting, that’s the era of the band that I love,” remarks Dirty Ghosts guitarist and songwriter Allyson Baker while discussing the genesis of Let It Pretend, the band’s forthcoming sophomore effort.

The San Francisco based pop artist, Kelley Stoltz plans to release a whopping three albums: In Triangle Time (out on Castle Face Records on Nov. 6th), 4 Cuts and The Scuzzy Inputs Of Willie Weird (out on Stroll On Records on October 30th). You can listen to a track from each album here.

"All were being written at the same time, basically. And they came out at the same time to coincide with my being booked at the Purple Weekend Festival in Spain this December. Since there was a tour planned, it made sense to get them all done in time for that. I started the Willie Weird album first as a way of escaping myself, after lots of songwriting and touring in 2013 and 2014. It was a strict set of rules type album – randomly selecting the beats-per-minute, writing a bassline first, embracing sound plug-ins, and using one white Stratocaster. I tried to write that from a joyful, humorous place rather than one of lonesome troubador as I usually do. I’d suggest playing all three of them at once." – Kelley Stoltz on his three new releases.

Don´t miss this once in a life time Bay Area event! Head down to Brick and Mortar Music Hall on November 7th!

If you haven´t already heard, we regret to report that the San Francisco Bay Area based band, Whirr shared disrespectful hate speech towards the trans-feminist punk band, G.L.O.S.S. Read the full story here.

Because of the band´s insensitive transphobic twitter comments about G.L.O.S.S, their record label, Run For Cover Records dropped Whirr from the label and issued a statement expressing their plans to donate $3,000 to an LGTBQ organization. Upon G.L.O.S.S´ request, the label donated their funds to Interfaith Works Emergency Overnight Shelter, Sylvia Rivera Law Project and Black and Pink. Read Run For Cover Record´s full statement and learn more information about these organizations here.

We´re excited to announce the Oakland return of NOBUNNY! This legendary band will be playing Leo´s Music Club on October 22nd. Make sure you wear your dancing shoes and enjoy NOBUNNY´s high energy, super fun live show!

Always clad in a fuzzy (and mildly psychotic-looking) rabbit mask and often wearing little else, NOBUNNY is a one-man pop-punk onslaught whose simple, infectiously hooky tunes and lusty outlook have earned comparisons to the Ramones, Hasil Adkins, and the Cramps, and whose untamed (and sometimes bottomless) stage shows have led some to call him a cuddly version of G.G. Allin. NOBUNNY is the alter ego of Justin Champlin, who was born and raised in Tucson, Arizona, and relocated to San Francisco, California.Champlin first made a name for himself as the drummer with garage punks the Okmoniks and later co-founded the Sneaky Pinks, a two-man punk-pop party machine.

Thursday, October 22nd NOBUNNY @ LEO’S MUSIC CLUB 5447 Telegraph Ave. Oakland, CA 8pm // $13 // 18+ TICKETS

The Oakland based art nouveau indie rock band, Foxtails Brigade has released a lovely and impressively shot music video for their new single, Far Away and Long Ago. This video has a crisp and touching style that is reminiscent of famed director, Stanley Kubrick´s film, Eyes Wide Shut and shares the same title as the 1918 William Henry Hudson novel. The video is sophisticated and compliments this new track´s artsong, classical vibe.

The dynamic, multi-talented group will continue an already busy 2015, having signed to OIM Records earlier this year, with their first full-band full-length self-titled studio record with producer Jeff Saltzman due out in March 2016.

Enjoy this music video for Far Away and Long Ago and make sure you make it to Foxtails Brigade´s upcoming show at Awaken Café on November 21st.

Local Oakland, CA singer-songwriter, activist and educator Candice "Antique" Davis announced the latest music single from her The Remember Project , Never Again, inspired by her visit to the slave dungeons in Elmina, Ghana.

Listen to the track here:

The Remember Project is a cultural campaign that travels all over the globe engaging artists of the African diaspora in artistic collaboration using art, music, media and dynamic facilitation to promote a Pan-African identity, particularly in countries that were involved in the Transatlantic and Arab slave trades.

Antique explains, "Visiting the slave dungeons in Elmina, Ghana, was such an emotional experience. I felt overwhelmed with grief, sadness and anger. Immediately after that, I went to the studio. I sat there crying and then I felt a rush of words. I wrote the song in 5 minutes. After I wrote it I felt unsure. Then I looked up in the sky and three hawks circling above me. I felt like that was a sign to move forward. I went in the studio and recorded it in one take. I saw it as the ancestors speaking through me."

Antique will be performing at Kingston 11 in Oakland on October 15th.
