Cornelius Returning To Fillmore In May, Deerhoof Supports

Picture from the HAD Archive

We here at HAD are huge fans of Japanese audio wizard Cornelius. Between his devotion to surround sound, incredible experimental records, and riveting live show, he simply brings something completely unique to the world of music. The last time we saw him, he was playing at The Fillmore as part of his tour for Sensuous. Since then, he's released a surround mix of the record, and continued to tour the world.

Given by how wowed we were the last time he was in town, we were psyched to recently discover that he'll be returning to The Fillmore on May 12th. His show is a completely trippy, synchronized performance that will totally drop your jaw. We highly recommend it. What's more, local faves Deerhoof will be supporting - that's double the bang for your buck! In addition, the somewhat-small tour will be making stops all along the west coast. Dates are below, and tickets are on sale now.

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!
