San Francisco based singer/songwriter, Idea the Artist (Inés Beltranen) has released a new single and music video entitled, The Ceiling. This artistic and magnetic musician is preparing to release her sophomore album, The Seafloor on March 24th, and we’re excited that she has shared this new song for us to share with you!

Idea the Artist highlights her free spirited personality in her music video for The Ceiling. You can watch the music video below and you can see her perform live at her album release show at Rickshaw Stop on March 20th. You can pick up her new album in CD format at the event!

San Francisco based experimental pop band, Cathedrals have released a dark and sexy remix of OOO AAA. This song is a super sexy downtempo track that sounds like Lana Del Rey packing a punch of both soul and elegant confidence. So good! This track is from their upcoming remix ep, Blush EP. The new release is due out on February 24th through Neon Gold Records.

Sadly the duo’s two shows on February 27th and 28th at the Independent are completely sold out. Better luck next time! Keep an eye out for more of Cathedral’s new music!

San Francisco based indie Americana band, Tumbleweed Wanderers have released a new music video for their single, Bad Blood. Bad Blood is the first single to be released from the band’s upcoming full length album, Realize. The music video captures a live performance from Tumbleweed Wanderers at Panoramic Studios in Stinson Beach, CA.

Take a gander what they’ve got to offer and if you think the video is rad, you can see the band perform live at The Independent in San Francisco this Friday, February 6th! We have just delivered you nothing but good news!

Bay Area based bands, Fine Points and Color War will support Sup Pop Records artist, Morgan Delt at the Chapel in San Francisco on Wednesday, February 4th. Fine Points and Color War are new underground bands who quietly feature veteran (kind of a big deal) local musicians. Fine Points has been known to include members of the San Francisco based psych soul band, Sleepy Sun and Tim Cohen of The Fresh & Onlys plays in Color War.

This is one of those shows that you can totally miss if you’re not in the know. Luckily you have us here at the Deli to tell you that attending this show means you’ll be walking into an underground rock gold mine.

Newly signed Sub Pop Records artist, Morgan Delt will be headlining the show. His experimental rock music will softly melt your face and lead you down a rabbit hole of tightly composed art nouveau alternative sounscapes. This is going be a cool show. Don’t miss it!

San Francisco based experimental pop band Talk of Shamans will be playing an East Bay show tomorrow night at The Night Light. Oakland based experimental garage band, Repeater Pan will be headlining the evening while Zip Zilch Nada will start the night off with their debut live performance.

The Night Light hosts some of the best up and coming East Bay bands and Bay Area line ups. This show is a great example of a coherent, genre-centric line up that will flow super well. Be sure to head out to the show tomorrow night!

The Bay Area based music collective, Seaweed Sway will be putting on their first event of the year at Amnesia Music Hall in the Mission District in San Francisco. This event will be a benefit show for sound engineer and avid music community supporter, Kyle Lesley who was recently diagnosed with stage four metastatic melanoma.

Lesley is known for his volunteer work for causes like Occupy Wall Street SF and the Clarion Alley Mural Project. He inspires everyone who comes into contact with him to connect with and support the local music and arts community.

Mariee Sioux, Future Twin, T.V. Mike and the Scarecrowes and Michael Musika will perform at the benefit show on January 30th. It’s great to see bands come together to help their friend while he suffers through a difficult time. Give back to Kyle Lesley because he is a person who has given so much to others.

The San Francisco based avant-noise post punk band, Buzzmutt has released a new music video for their single, Stumble Forward. The song is a track off their entrancing 2014 release, Strange Planes of Surveillance.

The Stumble Forward music video is a crisp pastiche of images starring an oddly charming robot. The video looks great and shares a number of clips from Buzzmutt’s local live performances. Watch the video and see if you can make out where the band is playing. If you go to enough shows, you can recognize any stage! We like robots, dioramas, cardboard cities and rock and roll! Stumble Forward has it all!

Oakland based indie-folk artist, Empty Moon recorded a live Daytrotter session featuring a number of songs from his album, The Shark. You can check out the live session here. If you’re looking for some Empty Moon sounds to envelop your ear drums a bit closer to home and far away from the internet, you can attend their upcoming show at Hotel Utah Saloon in San Francisco on January 29th!

On January 22nd, The Independent will be hosting a psychedelic music showcase featuring Brian Jonestown Massacre’s charismatic percussion extraordinaire, Joel Gion and his band The Primary Colours, San Francisco’s premiere psych revivalist band, The Love Dimension, psych pop/post punk band, Cellar Doors and psych soul band, Down Dirty Shake. You don’t see too many full local line ups play The Independent, so do your best to attend to ensure these bands have a successful show. The more we help local bands fill larger venues, the more the venues will be inclined to give Bay Area bands a chance to shine.

Not only is the line up local, but the bands are seasoned and absolutely stellar. We love a big shows just as much as we love bands straight out of the garage. Make your way out to the Independent and have a blast!

The San Francisco based downtempo folk rock band, Hidden in the Sun has released their new album, Seven Seasons today. To promote their upcoming album, they’ve shared the somberly crisp blues ballad, San Francisco Blues. You can hear the song below and if you find it as moving as we do, you can see Hidden in the Sun perform at their album release show at Viracocha in the Mission District of San Francisco on January 31st. We’re glad they’ve come on our radar. Support new music and emerging bands!

Are you a morning person? It’s pretty standard to go out late in the evening and party until the first few hours of the morning, but how about heading out to a party at 6 am? SoMa’s Supperclub will be hosing DAYBREAKER: The Last Supper Edition.

DAYBREAKER is a morning movement that will start your day off unlike anything else. It is about being in the here and now, surrounded by amazing people, beautiful music, and an incredible vibe. It is about dancing your face off before work and feeling gloriously healthy while doing so. It is about love, it is about mindfulness, and it is about mischief.

This event starts at 7:30 am tomorrow morning. It’s a holiday, so hit the bed early and check out one of Supperclub’s final events!
