Though Bay to Breakers (and Jonathan Richman’s residency at the Starry Plough for the matter) may be offering stiff competition for audiences this weekend, for those disinterested in the theatrics of college style drinking sports, or at least brave enough to combine a nights worth of bar beverages with morning marathon mayhem, here are a few selections from this weekends calender.
Thursday the 13th out Rank/Xerox’s Liars-esque punk sounds at the Eagle with Awesomes, Deep Teens, and Olympia’s Western Hymn, 8pm.
This Friday cross the water to the Uptown in Oakland for The Aerosols, Bitter Honeys, Vows, and Joel Robinows Explosion. Billed as "a night of ‘new oldies’ and girl group sounds," this should be a great evening in music, 9pm.
Local dance-punk duo Casey and Brian are slated to play Saturday night, with Cookie Mongoloid and the ever nebulous "and more," in the Lil Tuffy’s 8th Annual Prom. Sponsored by Suicide Girls, head up to the Red Devil Lounge to bounce around a floor that rarely sees any thing but the banality of cover bands.
That about raps it up for this week. If in fact you are doing the Bay to Breakers, don’t do anything I wouldn’t do on a bike.
