Ghost & Gale is a dreamy folkrock duo based in the San Francisco Bay Area. A whiskey-warm baritone and a buttery alto, their music lends itself to golden evenings around a crackling campfire. Their debut EP, coming soon, will be an amalgam of living room sessions, where songs were born over late-night conversations and countless cups of tea. “Take Me to the Fire” is the first single the duo is releasing into the wild. Though Kickstarter, Ghost & Gale were able to raise enough money to make the music video for "Take Me to the Fire." The result is an epic tale of magic and survival, intensified by breathtaking visuals. Keep watching until the end — the story takes an unexpected turn! -(from the Deli Open Blog)

Slovenly Recordings label mates Acid Baby Jesus and Hellshovel teamed up on Tuesday at Hemlock Tavern in San Francisco for a frenzied night of hard-hitting psychedelic rock. To dust of a dated expression, both bands have a sound that’s completely far out. But that’s not to say that they should be lumped together sonically. On the contrary, each group approaches psychedelia with their own set of influences and bag of tricks.

Hellshovel take their cue from the likes of The 13th Floor Elevators and other early American garage rock bands. Lots of dueling guitar leads pumped through cranked up tube amps, along with impressive three-part vocal harmonies. Their set was characterized by emotionally potent, short and straightforward songs. Acid Baby Jesus, on the other hand, lean more towards the experimental. I liken them to The Monks, and at times even Frank Zappa. Their rowdy, driving sound is held steady by an undercurrent of Farfisa organ and solid drumming, allowing the other members to enter and exit the cacophony at will. Both bands put on an engaging, entertaining performance, and combined they make excellent show.

Oakland, CA based singer/songwriter, Morgan Manifacier will be performing live tonight at 50 Mason Social House. This superfluously emotive French songwriter is promoting his upcoming album, Hues and Calm, and has released a darkly beautiful single track entitled, Cold Countries.

We want to give sincere congratulations to SF based experimental band, Petejota for winning The Deli Magazine San Francisco’s Artist of the Month! Petejota is a true favorite of The Deli SF’s for their gritty and unpredictable underground electronic sound. This music project virtually came out of nowhere and took down the competition, even though they are the newest band on the scene. We really appreciate the hard work and participation from all the bands, but Petejota has shown that they’re new and growing following has a lot of love for them.

We highly recommend that you check out Petejota’s music, and make sure you catch his live performances in the Bay Area!
