What’s Going On: 12/12 – 12/19
1. Ty Segall w/ Night Beats & Nucular Aminals
Where: Star Theater
How Much: $15
When: Thursday, December 13th – 9pm
Why: Sure it sounds cliche, but literally everyone and my mom will be at this show! Do yourself a favor and grab a ticket now–this show will sell out. With 7 albums out in the last 2 years (the most recent, Twins, was named #9 record of the year on SPIN’s top 50), San Francisco’s wunderkind is showing no signs of slowing down.
2. Nuggets Night VI
Where: Slabtown
How Much: $8
When: Saturday, December 15th – 9pm
Why: Nuggets Night returns to Slabtown with The Pynnacles, Suicide Notes, Queued Up, Satin Chaps, Beyond Veronica, The Ex-Girlfriends Club, The Cool Whips, Dirty Rubbers, Paradise, Sellwoods, The Very Foundation, The Deep Joy, Cry of the Shadow Animal, DJ HWY 7, and DJ Web of Sound. Only $8 at the door. Check out more info here.
3. The Soft Moon w/ Group Rhoda & We Are Like The Spider
Where: Holocene
How Much: $8/$10
When: Tuesday, December 18th – 8:30pm
Why: Lead by Luis Vasquez, fuzzed-out synth-driven post-punk sounds will fill the back room at Holocene and send you somewhere into the ether. After holing up for six months in his apartment, Vasquez recorded the latest album while touring. The result, Zeros, proves he is becoming an even better and more defined songwriter–his creation of atmospheric soundscapes will transcend you.

What’s Going On: 01/04 – 01/11
1. Hairspray Blues w/ Shut Your Animal Mouth
Where: Ash St. Saloon
How Much: $5
When: Thursday, January 5th—9:30pm
Why: Kyle and Leslie Stabile make up the grimy broken blues duo with a heavy metal edge. With his scorching riffs and her animalistic drumming, the pair definitely takes their music outside the box and gives it one heck of a kick. They play first, so get your butt there on time.
2. Archeology w/ Tango Alpha Tango & Adam Shearer (Weinland)
Where: Doug Fir
How Much: $5
When: Friday, January 6th—9pm
Why: Bacardi presents the Back To Basics series—a mere five bucks at the door gets you a night filled with lush arrangements and spot-on harmonies with local indie folk acts Archeology and Tango Alpha Tango. Opening the evening is Adam Shearer of PDX’s supergroup, Weinland.
3. Fundraiser for Ethos Music Center & My Voice Music w/ performances by Fruit of the Legion of Loom, K-Tel ’70, Bombs Away! and DJ HWY 7
Where: Tonic Lounge
How Much: Bring your wallets—it’s for the kids!
When: Sunday, January 8th—7pm
Why: Fancy cocktail party starts promptly at 7pm with DJ HWY 7 spinning tunes and a silent auction throughout the evening (art, music, massages, etc) with proceeds benefitting these two amazing organizations. That’s not all, folks—Tonic Lounge will be donating 10% of food & drink sales for the whole night! For more info: http://www.facebook.com/events/318277158199970/
