SF Food Bank benefit show!

Marc & the Casuals
Ron Silva and the Monarchs, Marc & The Casuals and Tommy Guerrero are getting together this Wednesday, December 30 for an early~ 8: 30 p.m. start time~ three-set, plus surprises, extravaganza at the magnificent Hemlock Tavern. The evening benefits the SF Food Bank, and all of you kind generous folks looking for a shot of r' and b' as well as some bugged out funk and jazz grooves.

In that this is New Year's Eve Eve, you can dress anyway you want, dance as you wish, avoid a Korbel champagne toast, and gain entrance, for a very nominal door charge, to a show which benefits the very worthy SF Food Bank.

Here are more specific deets on the show, the bands and the SF Food Bank:

Looking forward to uniting as one tavern under a groove with all of you, and helping to feed the hungry. Spread the word. Let's close this decade, let alone this Wednesday night, on a high note.

Thanks for your time and good luck!

Thursday, December 31  9:00pm, $10 tix available at the door
New Year's Eve Bash with Maus Haus and Battlehooch! Plus DJ Gatsby (from Tempo No Tempo). Admission includes champagne toast at midnight!! Adv. sales are over but there are plenty of tix available at the door so c'mon down!

Maus Haus
Maus Haus has the matter-of-factness of some British invasion act of the Nuggets era, crossing Kraftwerk-ian experimentation and Blues Magoos moog-heavy garage rock with an “out there” quality that evokes Captain Beefheart. A collection of smooth electronic transitions, Atari-accented Devo rock, and stuttered electronic rhythms. It’s both silly and nonsensical and, despite its penchant for electrical propulsion, Maus Haus also carries some funk and rock energy orchestral build-up." - No Ripcord

Battlehooch
"While the stealthy juggling act of instruments and monster masks is definitely a highlight to their show, antics and voltage are not the only things that comprise Battlehooch. They refrain from cranking out sheer volume and opt for sheer presence. Battlehooch follows the Utopian model of musical co-op as opposed to standard rock band format and this is what makes their classic-meets-current sound so believable. You believe it when you see one-man wind section Tom Hurlbut dressed in homage to Hunter S. Thompson with an American flag worn as a cape. You also see it in bassist Grant Goodrich’s hair-buried face as he ironically hides in the corner of the stage despite his 6-foot stature. Looks and energy alone make Battlehooch a 60s time warp but they are for more than a kitchy throwback. It's layered and dimensional party music." - The Owl Mag

DJ Potsie U. Belcher
Utrillo from Comets on Fire, Total B.S., Colossal Yes, and many more, will bring rock the first night of this brand new year the only way he knows how. And that's just a little bit more than good taste will allow.
