Are you Ready for the Floor?

Hot Chips new album kicks ass. 
If you've been lucky enuf to see one of their amazing live shows than you have enjoyed a few of the new tunes of this album. The album version of Shake a Fist off Made In The Dark gets technincal and interactive, while we are looking for love and the title track slow the dance to show you an emotional side of Hot Chip. 
This album may sound like a break up album but is just a complex side of the band that some of us might not be used to. I Believe they just upped the notch for music realeases this year. my favorite album of 2008 so far. And a full tour ensues shortly with hotchip playing a bunch of us dates including The Fillmore on April 24th 2007, Coachella a few days later, and nyc. 

They are currently on a mini tour with a date in L.A. and N.Y playing small venues before they head out on the trek of much larger venues.  to download MADE IN THE DARK by HOT CHIP, visit Pop Apocalypse's blogspot for the leak http://pop-apocalypse.blogspot.com/2008/01/hot-chip-made-in-dark.html

The Marquee

let me first start off by saying its super nice. 1015 folsom is a swanky ass beautiful venue
that'll be transformed in the upcoming months. The name change will be the Marquee. We attended a 1015 Folsom event on friday because the booker at 3 udders productions needed some folks to get the word about the revitalization of a not so well recieved club. As promoters for the venue, we went around the city of san francisco and bay area to shows, clubs and online to get a crowd to see whats new about the venue. 

The opening night would feature music of a shitty band known as the Donnas. Who still gives a shit about this girl group. I personally felt it was a poor choice to get this band to play the opening of the club but i did try to get people to come out on the RAINY friday opening. 
Let me start off by saying the space is awesome. the 5 rooms can easily be turned into a sf hotspotwith rooms that'll function for different things.   With a team of good bookers, an amazing location, 3 Udders will bring  some of the best bands to the SOMA location. Stay tuned to hear more about what there is to come in the near future. Lookout for a new website and huge talent by march. 

In the beggining..

the mischief i can only express in writing is half the story.

the unique mishaps that i face everday are some of the strangest and most interesting events 
that can dawn on a person

so i dare you to try and keep up with all the nonscenes.
