Late Of the Pier at Popscene

Every april Coachella comes thru san francisco. You think what? its tru. the same bands play every year in san francisco the same week, almost like a practice gig. its the start of great tours here in the bay. For example, two years ago i witnessed the decemberists at the warfield and left halfway throug tothe ultimate gig at popscene, it included KLAXONS AND AMY WINEHOUSE! Klaxons headlined over Amy. it was something to witness. Last year i saw hotchip at the fillmore and after it was over ran to popscene for CALVIN HARRIS. This year, i went to the presets at Mezzanine and left halfway through to catch Late of the Pier. the glitz and the glam were all over the place, the youngins were dressed horribly, and the music was great.  I heard most of their entire set, partied with the band, and went back to the presets. Coachella week kicks my ass, but its packed with great times. 

PRESETS AND GOLDEN FILTER MEZZANINE FOR THE 6TH TIME

The presets are amazing. Theyre australian, theyre a two man duo that makes music some bands couldnt do with a team. They have a range of singing styles and songs that can make anybody dance. The show was great, they played what sounded like everysong from their two albums and ep's. I had a chance to talk to them and they love this city, They love the gays, and were some of the nicest most humble dudes to step foot in mezzanine. 

BLOODY BEATROOTS and ASSHOLE CROOKers

So the bloody Beatroots congorock and crookers were in sf at Mezzanine on wednesday as a pre-show to Coachella. If you havnt heard bloody beatroots, its hard electronic techno style beats sort of like justice. They rocked the house, and were genuninely exctied and nice to be playing the gig. Crookers on the other hand were the biggest assholes in music. First of all they got famous for throwing a beat onto kid kudi's night and day. They totally act like theyre the biggest thing in america, basically they were a bunch of madonnas. They scheduled an interview with my team and I and declined to do it right before because they wanted money. They were unprofessional and allowed groupies on stage to do cocaine casually. They had an entourage that was blocking the stage so you couldnt even see them. It takes alot for me not to like you, but dont demand money for something you said you had already agreed to, and dont make a club look bad by your illegal behaviors. FUCK CROOKERS!

HERCULES AND LOVE AFFAIR AT PROJECT1

WOW what a crazy show. Hercules and Love Affair first played in san francisco last july and again around christmas time for a benefit show featuring mos def. This time they played a secret gig at the discreet awesome space PROJECT ONE. hercules didnt say if they were playing live or djing, but it ended up being a full performance. Including a slight change in lineup. There was no nomi, but we had a black transvestite man who sang the her parts as well as anthonys. They debut a bunch of new songs from the album they were in town for recording.  The crowd loved it, it was only about 150 people in the cramped art gallery/ beer and sake lounge. 

N.E.R.D at the Warfield for the Grammy Party

PHARREL Williams and company played to a crowd of about a 1000 people for a special grammy party in san Francisco on tuesday night. The sex symbol played an hour set opening for The Hills anthem songstress, Natasha Beddingfield. N.E.R.D played all the hits, spanning from their three albums. I didnt stay for Natasha's entire set but heard pocket full of sunshine and some others. I had to make way for the special performance by Hercules and Love Affair.
