BISS 01.08.08: Now that we've all recovered...

Let's do something different this week! How about comedy at the Purple Onion on Wednesday for Doug Ferrari and Friends. I can even give away 2 pairs of tickets to the first people to respond! Doug is a hilarous comedian who has written for almost every comedian you can think of! And you NEVER know who might show up!! After the show, we'll go and catch the second set of Byron Ryne's Smokedaddies at the Blackthorne. Things always get super funky for the second set so it'll be a great night out all around. I will be so ready to get out by Wednesday. Raise your hand if you've been sick since New Years!


Friday night, January 11th at the Fillmore, is the legendary Bill Graham Birthday Bash. Everyone on this list has Bill Graham to thank for the amazing music scene we have here in San Francisco! Every year there is a great show & party at the Fillmore to celebrate Bill's birthday. The theme for this year's party is An Evening of Duets with Aaron Neville & Linda Ronstadt/ Phil Lesh & Jackie Greene, Jackie Greene & Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Ray Manzarek & Roy Rogers, & Tuck and Patti and a closing dance set by: Booker T. Jones.


Friday night in Berkeley, is the band you've all been hearing about, Monophonics, for their debut performance at the Shattuck Down Low. In fact, two of the Bay Area’s heaviest funk units join forces in the East Bay! Together, The Grease Traps and Monophonics play filthy instrumental soul and solid, hard-hitting funk topped with a tight horn section. DJ Riddm spins funk 45’s and rare grooves before the sets. January 11th 2008, Shattuck Down Low, 2284 Shattuck, Berkeley, California 94704, 9pm
