It’s another weekend on the horizon and damn it all if the Bay Area is not getting its act together with good shows to get out and see.
Thursday the 8th at Kimo’s would be a good place to start for the female-fronted dirty garage sounds of The Mallards with Street Sirens and Trumpet Solo, 9pm.
Of course if you find yourself in Mission on Thursday, instead of up the hill on Polk street, Orchestra of Antlers (who topped the Deli’s Year End Readers Poll) will be playing with Not To Reason Why, Clarissa Explainsitall, and Commissure, 8pm.
Reverb-drenched noise rockers Weekend, who currently hold the Deli’s Album of the Month award, will be filling up the Hemlock on Friday. Playing with Fever Dream and Australia’s Love Diagrams, this show is surely not to be missed, 9pm.
This week certainly seems to have had a lot of mention of the activities of Stomacher (having just won the Deli’s Band of the Month followed shortly by the release of a video) and to cap it all off this Saturday they’ll be playing at the Great American Music Hall with Tornado Rider, 3rd Rail, and I the Mighty, 8pm. Of course, yet another mention of Stomacher will be garnering some complaints from the peanut gallery concerning overexposure, but to that I say tough titties. I said it once before and I’ll say it again, so I can have the credit for accurate prediction: keep your eyes on Stomacher, this will be their break out year.
That about rounds it out for this week. Check back again for another round of picks next week, and bands, do continue to keep us updated on your schedules and you may find yourself mentioned here.
