Menomena and Suckers Played Great American Music Hall - Pictures, Review

We had been digging Brooklyn band Suckers for a while now (in fact, their recent LP Wild Smile is new favorite), so we were stoked to catch them along with headliner Menomena, last Wednesday night. The second of two shows at the Great American Music Hall, both bands certainly delivered, with each one complementing the other.

We walked in just as Suckers began their set, with lead singer Quinn Walker commanding the attention of the audience right from the start. A wild man possessed (in a good way), Walker performed with abandon; falsetto notes were hit and he played all over the stage.

Singer/guitarist Austin Fisher held down the fort with his stoic manner and voice reminiscent of David Byrne. Meanwhile Pan (single moniker only) jumped from synth to mic to the trumpet and back again.

Drummer/percussionist Brian Aiken played with intense fervency, and showed the audience on more than one occasion that he could drum, play the keyboard, and sing - all at the same time. The vocal harmonies were exhilarating, and by the end of the Suckers set, the audience was singling along.

Portland's Menomena is no stranger in putting on a good show, as after nearly ten years on the scene, the band certainly knows how to carefully construct their songwriting- the crowd that packed the hall clearly knew this.

Brian Knopf, Justin Harris, and Danny Seim, all talented multi-instrumentalists (including glockenspiel and saxaphone) and vocalists, managed to both lead and be back up on each track, resulting in a beautiful display of collaboration.

The band covered most of the tracks on Mines, and captivated the crowd. Overall, we were lucky enough to attend - it was a killer show! The bands are currently making their way east, and if you've still got a chance to check them out, we recommend you do the same.

Jason Collett Prepping New Record, Plotting Summer Tour

Picture from the HAD Archive

While details are still sparse, we were intrigued to hear mention from Arts and Crafts that Jason Collett is working on the followup to 2008's Here's To Being Here. The record's not dropping until later in the year, but Collett has lined up a west coast tour to preview some of the new songs in public.

The tour will be a quick one, supporting The Weakerthans, and will include a San Francisco stop at Great American. It's been a while since we've heard from Collett, and we're definitely fans of his distinctive style of pop - it'll be nice to get out there and see what he's got cooking.

Tortoise: New Record, Summer Tour

It's been five years since Indie icons Tortoise have dropped an album on the unsuspecting public, but now the hiatus has come to an end. The band will release Beacons Of Ancestorship on June 23rd, and support it with a some-of-the-world tour, at least to start off with. Luckily for San Franciscans, we made the cut and will be seeing the band live and in person on Jul 13th at Great American.

While we'll freely admit not to be connoisseurs of the Tortoise back catalog (our interest arose from the involvement of The Sea and Cake's John McEntire), we can tell you this: we got our hands on a copy of the new record, and it truly rocks. The disc manages to create a sound palate that is simultaneously droney, jammy, jazzy, and fuzzy, while at the same time still managing to rock out like there's no tomorrow. Not only is it getting repeat plays on the ol' iTunes, but it seems ideally suited for the live environ as well. Highly recommended.

Vetiver's CD Release Party Was At Great American - Pictures, Review

Last week we managed to stop in and check out Vetiver's release party for their latest record Tight Knit. Despite a long-held love for To Find Me Gone, it was our first time seeing the band, and suffice it to say, it won't be the last. The band played an amazing set that totally fulfilled our expectations, and then some. What's more, they really did an amazing job at elaborating on their records' intricate arrangements, while at the same time adding a new element in the live environment.

Getting to hear the tracks off of To Find Me Gone was a real treat. We've been listening to the record for years, and finally hearing it's melodic, mellow grooves in a live setting was genuinely satisfying. We were a tad curious as to whether the band would be able to pull off the record's understated yet confident vibe in a live setting, and they did so with flying colors.

In addition, we got our first real exposure to Tight Knit. We had heard (and listened to many times over) the first released track "Everyday", but as we slid into the gig, we got our first real taste of the record. Suffice it to say it sounds good - really good. Interestingly, the new material sees the band adopting a slightly more poppy and accessible vibe, and leaving behind some of the darkness and atmosphere of To Find Me Gone. We likey.

On top of getting a great batch of songs, it was great to hear the band build on their arrangements in a live setting. In particular, the lead guitar lines seemed vastly more fleshed out in relation to their (almost nonexistent) recorded counterparts. The interplay between the rhythm and lead guitars was killer, and really made us wish we could get our hands on a copy of the show.

Walking away from this show, we just found ourselves wanting more. Vetiver's records have an easy warmth and accessibility that makes them an ideal soundtrack to everyday life, and the live show offered much of the same. The band's presence on stage (and to be frank, much of the audience) had an easy going, familial feel that welcomed any and everyone to listen. Combine that with a masterful live sound and a killer new record, and well: we think it'll be a good year for Vetiver.

Stephen Malkmus Video From Noise Pop: "Pink India"

Because we love you, and we know you love the Malk. That's why.

Noise Pop 2009: Stephen Malkmus Played Great American - Review, Pictures, Setlist

Tonight's set by Stephen Malkmus at the Great American could not have been more divergent from last night's Deerhunter set: one man, singing classic melodies to a devout crowd, armed only with a guitar. And yet, Malkmus managed to deliver far more than a simple one man show of the singer-songwriter variety. Despite a broken string and some stumbling lyrics, he brought forth a vast selection of his catalogue and offered up everything from old favorites, to covers, to his latest solo work, to the most far flung of Pavement b-sides.

First and foremost, more on that setlist: it was riddled with Pavement classics and b-sides, and even touched on a Silver Jews number. What's more, it didn't seem that encouragement to delve into the past was even needed: Malkmus opened the set with "Harness Your Hopes" and it was clear from there that the set would be comfortably retro in its bent. The set ran the gamut from Slanted And Enchanted through Real Emotional Trash, and from the sound of things, the audience kept right up with him. Even a cover of the O'Jays "Love Train" simply couldn't be stopped.

And really, there was no need to stop anything at all, because the room was clearly full of love. The Malkmus devotees are a hardcore bunch, from the numerous song requests it was clear that they had come to see Malkmus in something of a journey to Mecca. His catalogue is beloved, and yet so often beleaguered by breakup/reunion drama that this night provided a unique opportunity. Specifically: to see the man, and hear the songs, and simply transcend anything that stretched beyond the pure enjoyment of the composition.

It was clear from Malkmus' attitude that he could feel the positivity as well. For much of the set he was grinning and clearly enjoying himself. Moreover, he was a ridiculously good sport for all the song request cat calls, and even had a solid go at one ("Vanessa From Queens") that suited his fancy. He was obviously there to deliver songs to his fans, and more than succeeded in doing exactly that. From the first notes of "Harness Your Hopes", to the final distorted chords of "Summer Babe", the fans were rapt. As Malkmus took his final bow and headed off stage it was clear that tonight was everything and more that this crowd was looking for.

Vetiver CD Release Party At GAMH In April

You may remember our mention that Vetiver has a new disc on the way, and that we were more than a little psyched about it. Well, now we have the (not entirely unexpected) news that the bay area locals will be playing a show in our fair city - and it's the CD release show to boot!

The show will be at Great American on April 8th, with Adam Stephens of Two Gallants opening. Given that it's the CD release, we're guessing that not only will it be a raucus affair, but that it'll sell out as well. Tickets are on sale now, so get em while they're hot!

John Vanderslice Celebrating Tiny Telephone's 10 Year Anniversary In Style

John Vanderslice is certainly something of a San Francisco indie rock instituion. Not only does the man have a drove of awesome, intelligent rock records, but he also founded and runs San Francisco's preeminent analog recording studio: Tiny Telephone.

Well, Vanderslice is in the midst of record his next record, but apparently he decided to take a little break. It seems that Tiny Telephone has hit the ten year mark in style, and so Mr. Vanderslice has seen fit to celebrate his baby's anniversary with a show of epic proportions over at the Great American Music Hall.

On January 30th, along with the 30 piece Magik*Magik Orchestra, Vanderslice will be performing a set of old and new tunes. What's more, he's roped in hip-hop maestro (and now local resident) Aesop Rock to DJ the festivities.

Hmm...let's just say this: one part notable recording studio, two parts notable local musicians, one part 30 piece orchestra, and one part ten year anniversary? Recipe for awesome! (Sorry, we are such freaking nerds around here. Deal.)

Tickets are on-sale now.

The Sea And Cake Played Great American - Pics, Review

Last night at the Great American, The Sea and Cake returned to San Francisco for an awesome, career spanning show. Despite GAMH only being about two thirds full, we're pretty sure we've never heard a louder or more enthusiastic crowd in that space. Not only did the band deliver a lengthy main set, but they were compelled to return for two solid encores by fans who just couldn't get enough.

Openers The Ugly Suit definitely delivered a solid dose of rock to the beginning of the evening. In general their live set was considerably more loud and jammy than anything they've got on the web. It would probably be fair to say that they had something of a My Morning Jacket vibe, although the songwriting and vocals weren't really up to Jim James standards. We enjoyed the Suit's set, but when they finished, we have to admit that we were eagerly awaiting the main act.

The Sea and Cake started off their set with all pistons running, and never really let up from there. They started with "Aerial", the opener from Car Alarm, and for the first part of the night proceeded with a set that drew quite heavily on the last two albums. For us, this was ideal, as the last two records have really been our most solid intro to the band. Still, it was clear that there were a number of long time fans in the audience who were dying for some older stuff.

The band didn't fail to deliver, and the second half of the set drew far more heavily on the older material, including "Nature Boy", "Parisol", and "Jacking The Ball". Still, we were glad to see that the band doesn't relegate their new material to beginning of the set fodder: they closed the second encore with a fantastic version of Everbody's "Lightning".

One of the more noticeable aspects of The Sea and Cake's live show is that while their tunes tend to maintain their intricate arrangements and sound, they tend to rock a bit harder. The drums, and guitars all seem to have a bit more of an edge, while Eric Claridge (amazingly) keeps his remarkably intricate bass lines going, even in a live setting.

For a band with such a lengthy history, and devout group of fans, we're really glad to see The Sea And Cake still delivering not only brilliant records, but a brilliant live show as well. These guys are all extremely talented musicians, and could easily rest on their laurels of being an indie rock institution. Instead, they're really getting out there and delivering a clear and resonating message about just how much they love every second of it. Cheers to that.

Reminder: Sea And Cake Is At Great American Tonight

Between last year's album pick, and gushing over the new material, we couldn't be more psyched for tonight's Sea And Cake show. We got our copy of Car Alarm two weeks back, and we couldn't be happier with it. It's like Everybody's rockier, more enthusiastic sibling - and the two make quite a pair! Unfortunately, it looks like Field Music isn't on the bill (as originally announced), but Oklahoma's The Ugly Suit will be there instead. From the sounds of things, they're producing somewhat angsty, poppy tunage that holds its own, at least in the context of myspace. We'll have to see how it goes in the flesh - either way, we are uber-psyched for this evening's festivities! Rawk!

Doors at 7, show at 8. Tickets are still on sale.

Reminder: Deerhunter, Times New Viking Are At Great American Tonight

If you're not in the mood for viewing some free Noise Pop 2008 footage, and you fancy that you could do with a little bit more noise in your night, then allow us to recommend you head over to the Great American and check out Times New Viking and Deerhunter. Both bands are getting a suitable amount of hype these days, and from all we can tell, it's well deserved. Sure, there're stories of Deerhunter shows falling apart at the seams, but what's rock and roll without some drama and risks? Hit it!

Crooked Fingers And Port O'Brien Played Great American - Pics, Review

Last night at the Great American, we caught what must be the definition of a co-headlining bill: two awesome bands, playing two awesome sets, to a room full of folks who were stoked to be there the entire time. Port O'Brien and Crooked Fingers put out about an hour of music each, and in both cases left the room at the Great American energized and ready for more.

Port O'Brien opened their set with the more acoustic, chilled out side of their repertoire. This was a solid move, as it allowed for an emphasis on the band's lyrics and quieter elements. Not only was there the standard acoustic guitar and banjo, but the band also brought in a cellist for the show, and swiped Crooked Fingers' violinist for a few numbers to boot.

The second half of the band's set layed on the electric guitars, and upped the rock and roll vibe significantly. It seems that this is the band's new direction, and to be frank we really, really like it. With their (admittedly well written) more folky vibe, the band was in dangerous territory of becoming another run of the mill folk-rock act. By contrast, their full-on rock sound is pushing a lot more boundries both compositionally and musically.

The band wrapped up their set (as they are apt to do) with a rousing, crowd-involved, full on hollering version of "I Woke Up Today". We have to admit, we're torn on this one: on the one hand, it's great to see a crowd get on stage hollering, playing pots and pans, and generally enjoying themselves. On the other hand, it's a little weird to have a seemingly spontaneous act happening at every single show. That being said, we'd guess this bit will fall into the background once the band has another record, so we just sat back and enjoyed it while it lasted.

Similar to Port O'Brien, Crooked Fingers also took the chill-out approach to the first half of their set. Eric Bachmann open the show completely solo on acoustic guitar, and even once the full band had come on stage, the first few numbers were definitely on the more downtempo side.

The band, which included a violinist in addition to the usual drums-guitar-bass combo, played a wide selection of Crooked Fingers catalog, ranging from material from the band's first record, to Eric Bachmann's solo jaunt, to the band's most recent effort Forfeit/Fortune. While most of the material sounded similar to its recorded cousins, the new record's material did take on a slightly different bent. The absence of keyboards, layered strings, and horns gave way to a notably pared down sounf more the new tunes.

For us, the biggest surprise of the night came when Bachmann spontaneously led the band through a number of Archers Of Loaf tunes towards the end of the set. Starting with "Web In Front", then to "White Trash Heroes", and winding up with "Harnessed In Slums". We have no idea if this has become a staple of Crooked Fingers' set, but it was great to hear these Archers classics, and from the looks of things, the crowd felt the same way.

Update: I Pick My Nose was also there.

Crooked Fingers And Port O'Brien Are At Great American Tonight

Just a reminder for all you music-lovin' kids out there that tonight marks a double bill at the Great American featuring two awesome bands: Crooked Fingers and Port O'Brien. Eric Bachmann's genre-hopping troupe is touring hot on the heels of their latest release, Forfeit/Fortune, while Port O'Brien is wrapping up their year of touring for their album All We Could Do Was Sing. Both of these records are pretty killer deliveries from bands that can really hold their own in the live setting. So, what can we say? Highly recommended, that's what. See you there.

Black Kids Show Moves From The Fillmore To GAMH

We're not sure what this says about the Black Kids hype, but it can't be good: The show scheduled for this coming Monday has been moved from The Fillmore to the Great American Music Hall. If you're a fan of the band, this is probably great news: smaller venue, more intimate show. That being said, for a band the venue-downsizing isn't a message of things going well. We were really psyched for this record, and then it dropped and unfortunately suffered a Killers-like major label castration. The sounds are much cleaner, the arrangements are much slicker, and much of the charm that was on the Wizard of Ahhs EP was lost in the process. There has also be a lot of talk about the band not really handling themselves well in a live setting. Not good kids, not good.

Jonathan Richman Coming To The Great American

Photo from the HAD Archive

When we saw Jonathan Richman open for Yo La Tengo last fall, we mentioned that it felt much more like a double bill than an opener/headliner type of thing. Well, apparently people agreed with us, as Richman is now headlining his own show at the Great American on December 7th. Richman's live show is definitely must see, and the level of charisma he brings to the stage is simply not demonstrable with the written word. Highly recommended. Tickets go on sale this Sunday at 10 AM.

What's Going On This Weekend

Photo courtesy of Sutanto

Hrm. You're looking for something to do? Well, there's a lot...so, take your pick!

• If you can deal with maybe getting wet, Sigur Ros is at the Greek Theater in Berkeley tonight...rain or shine.
• If you can stand vast amounts of people, lots of families, and picnic blankets, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival is all weekend in Golden Gate park.
• If nighttime bluegrass is more your thing, there's a Hardly Strictly afterparty at The Plough and Stars on Saturday night.
• If you're looking for something a tad more avante garde, Deerhoof is at GAMH on Saturday night.
• If you want something more on the "scene", New Wave City is having a Bowie dance party at DNA Lounge on Saturday night.
• The Dandy Warhols are on their first tour since leaving a major label, and are at The Warfield Saturday night.
• And finally, you can wrap up your weekend on Sunday night by seeing Iron and Wine play a benefit at Bimbo's; San Francisco's Sholi are opening.

With all that, if you can't find something to suit your fancy, well, we pity you! Stay dry kids!

Crooked Fingers: New Album, Coming to GAMH; Port O'Brien Opening

Sorry to go all nudie on you, but it's art, folks. Look alive!

Crooked Fingers will be playing The Great American on November 11th, and local faves Port O'Brien will be there to open for them. For those not familiar, Crooked Fingers is the band created by Eric Bachman following the breakup of Archers Of Loaf. Initially it seemed to be his solo alias, but he's since released solo records as well. Crooked Fingers, on the other hand, has transformed into a "real" band. On a personal note, the first time we saw Spoon was as an opener for Crooked Fingers in 2002. We thinks this bodes well for Port O'Brien.

Crooked Fingers have a new record, Forfeit/Fortune,out October 7th on Constant Artists Inc. Records. This is a departure from Merge Records, where Bachmann had released the last few Crooked Fingers discs. Typically, the band's sound is distinctly simpler and more folky than his Archers output. Yet from the sound of things, this go around will feature arrangements with a bit more kick. Bachmann's gritty, low key vocals are in tact, but the instrumentation and pace seem to be headed in a new direction. Check it out for yourself below.

Tickets are on-sale now.

The Sea And Cake: Coming To GAMH, New Album

You may recall that HAD's number one record of last year was The Sea And Cake's Everybody. Given that the record so impressed us, and that it continues to hold water, we were psyched to see that the band has a new one on the way. Car Alarm will be released on October 21st by Thrill Jockey. The prolific output, from a notoriously slow-to-release band, is apparently the product of their recent touring and day to day collaboration. We were waiting to announce until we got an mp3 to share, but...

On December 2nd The Sea and Cake will be in San Francisco, presumably in support of the new record. For the show, the band will be joined by UK'ers Field Music. There's definitely a similarity in the two band's grooves, so it should be a nice combined set. You can be sure we'll see you there. Tickets are on-sale now.
