TWO AUSTRALIAN MEGA DANCE BANDS.

ITS PROBALLY ONE OF THE BEST PAIRINGS OF BANDS IN 2008.
CUT COPY DO THERE DANCE THROWBACK LOVE SONGS AND THE PRESETS DO THERE TRASH DANCE ON OCTOBER 5TH 2008 TO MEZZANINE.
BOTH BANDS HAVE PLAYED MEZZANINE SEPERATELY BUT THIS CO-HEADLINING JAUNT IS ONE YOU DONT WANT TO MISS.

Bring It back to the ROOTS


Its been a awhile since a headling roots tour.This one brings the boys to san jose state events arena. The bill consists of New Queen brit _dis(songstress) ESTELLE, with new hip pop act gym class heros. I guess 10/18/2008 has something for everyone.

Weezer and Tokyo Police Club



Weezer Return after rumors of breaking up three years ago. The New Weezer album RED is out now and a fall tour begins is in the works. Weezer will hit the stage with blink wannabe band Angels and Airwaves and Saddle creek buzzmakers Tokyo Police Club. TICKETS ON SALE NOW FOR OCTOBER 13TH AT SAN JOSE STATE EVENT CENTER.

SPOILED HiP HOPPERS


Rock bands arnt the only folks who collaborate to get good bands that open up for eachother.
Hip Hop has had a great year with really good tours like Ghostface, Brother Ali, and Rakim, Rock the bells which is stellar every year, the ever amazing Glow in the Dark tour, Erykah Badu and the Roots and now Common and N.E.R.D will come to a city near you. Were blessed but not to see them at berkley community theather which is seated.WHACK!!. by your tickets for the SEPTEMBER 20Th performance.

DAVID BANNER IN EARLY OCTOBER


Backed with a 15 peice live band, this hip hop tour is unlike any other you've seen. The Rhythm Roots backing band will help to bring a live experience with todays hottest MC's including Talib Kweli and Little Brother this October 2nd at the Grand Regency Ballroom. .

ODD PAIRING GREAT VENUE



the collaboration between Sebastian and Bassnectar may not be on the same page or room for that matter but they do have 1 thing in common. They Play at 1015 folsom for an unforgettable night of crazy electronic dance music. September 5th will be the night to get grimey on the dance floor.

VIRGINS AND BLACK KIDS



sounds like that shouldnt be used in the same sentence. We all know the black kids get laid first because theyre usually the lound ones in the bunch but as for the virgins they are usually really quiet and awkward. JK well the two bands team up for Indie pop band BLACK KIDS first headline gig in san francisco and they're already playing the Fillmore on october 13th. I saw them open for Cut Copy and Simian Mobile Disco back in april when they stopped at Mezzanine and thought black kids were fairly good. Im looking more forward to seeing the Virgins play. theyre so cute and witty and play the bay alot, but this will be one kick ass gig.

VICE ALERT!


I FOUND VICE AT AQUARIUS RECORD ON VALENCIA STREET THIS MONTH.ITS THE SUNDAE ISSUE.

GHOSTLAND OBSERVATORY


One of the best light shows definately hails from Austin duo GHOSTLAND. there lazers are spectacular and will keep you
entertained for hours. The strange pitch and howels of Aaron sound like a robot making love to tree as described on their myspace profile. They usually play Mezzanine when they play in san francisco but this time they play an all ages venue that
is sure to sell out. FILLMORE ON OCTOBER 17TH.

GIRL TALK THIS OCTOBER IN SAN FRANCISCO


GREG GILLIS aka GIRL TALK pulled that radiohead stint this past summer. His album was revealed a few days before he posted as a pay what you want promotional download from the net. I jumped on the opportunity to hear 12 new mashed up tracks with 100's of songs mixed gracefully. Ive witness GIRL TALK about 4 times and cant wait to see him tear up the fillmore once agian.
This time he plays 2 NIGHTS! at the historic fillmore. once again that final week in october will be bomb with GIRL TALK AND THE DEATH SET on october 27th and 28th. keep checking livenation for the on sale.
