BISS 11.17.11 - DEAD KENNY G'S / Budos Band / Lucinda / Planet of The Abts / Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy Thanksgiving BISS Listers... Are you ready for the big holiday next week? The BISS List has the best menu lined up and so much to be thankful for!!!


Let's start with the toe tapping swinging music of SHARON JONES & THE DAP KINGS at the Uptown Theatre in Napa tonight!! Can you say "awesomeness"??! If you can't make it up to Napa for Sharon Jones tonight, then you better get your tickets for Sharon Jones opening for My Morning Jacket on December 2nd! Now that's as sweet as yams with marshmallows on top!!


Friday, start mashing your potatoes with STEPHEN STILLS & SPECIAL GUESTS at The Regency **Congrats to Mark R (& **WIN). Or head over to The Independent for the first of two nights of THE INFAMOUS STRING DUSTERS WITH DREW EMMITT AND BILL NERSHI **Congrats Daniel W for Fri & Janna B for Sat! Now that is going to be some country-style mashed potatoes right there. Another great way to get those potatoes mashed is with EOTO at MEZZANINE **Congrats Matthew T! (& *WIN)


Also starting a two night run on Friday, is MELVIN SEALS & JGB BAND at the Palm Ballroom in San Rafael. On your way there, detour through Sausalito & stop by the Seahorse to get yourself some Chris Haugen Trio!!


And for dessert, a nice slice of pie, filled with THE DEAD KENNY G'S at The Boom Boom Room with Skerik, Brad Houser, and Mike Dillon. **Congrats Chris L!

Saturday get into the drinking holiday spirit at the BEVMO HOLIDAY BEERFEST featuring THE MISSION PLAYERS at the Herbst Pavillion at Fort Mason. Ask Sunny to show you her Irish jig!!


THE BUDOS BAND at the Mezzanine on Saturday is the gravy on your weekend...making EVERYTHING taste good. **Congrats Sue Ellen W & Sarah H!!


Get yourself some sweet potato pie with a two night run of LUCINDA WILLIAMS at The Fillmore on Saturday & Sunday. **Congrats Eric C and Henry W! (Both for Sun)


Don't forget the yummy stuffing on Sunday night at the Connecticut Yankee with LEBO, BO CARPER, and SCOTT LAW.


Monday chill-lax to free Jazz at Grant & Green with Mike Olmos...


Tuesday night, the drumstick will be all you can think of when BISS fave Matt Abts of Gov't Mule brings PLANET OF THE ABTS with JORGEN CARLSSON (of Gov't Mule) & T-Bone Andersen to Cafe Du Nord. (*WIN)...Or get high with the High Beamz @ Connecticut Yankee so you can eat some more of this good stuff!!


Wednesday get ready for turkey day with a throw down at The Boom Boom Room with The Dead Winter Carpenters (**WIN) Or Stir it up with Stu Allen at Ashkenaz in Berkeley. (*WIN) Or maybe you wanna break it down with Brokedown in Bakersfield at Slim's. (**WIN)


Thursday night after the big dinner, shake off that food coma with Afrolicious at The Elbo Room. (*WIN)


Then, Friday, keep it funky with Ronkat's Katdelic at Boom Boom Room. (*WIN) OR get old school with S.O.S band at Yoshi's. (*WIN) Yeah... that's the band that sang..."Baby, we can do it, take your time, do it right, we can do it baby, do it tonight!"


Then Saturday make yourself a big fat turkey sandwich with gravy & cranberry sauce and call it Orgone!!


Want some more to be thankful for? How about Fela! The Musical, here in SF at The Curran theater through December 11. How about New Orleans Suspects featuring members of the Neville Brothers, Dirty Dozen and The Radiators at Brick & Mortar on 12/1, 12/2, & 12/3.


How about New Years? What's YOUR pick? We are thinking Greyboy All-stars with Zigaboo opening at The Independent.


Yes, city by the bay....you are the best meal a music fan could want!!


Cheers to being thankful

This music video is part of a collection of short films and skits that will be release as an indie film, called The Jelly Roll. The film is slated to be officially released on St Patty's Day.



If you read your weekly BISS List then you know we are big fans of The Seattle based band, The Staxx Brothers! We never miss a show when they come to town. Once you get a little taste, you’ll never miss them either!

"Staxx Brothers proved the closest thing to vintage Funkadelic I've ever witnessed, right down to the janky thrift store costumes and impolite wilding. A huge mob on stage, they've imbibed whatever elixir Bootsy, George and Bernie swallowed back in the day, getting up there and proudly playing rump rattlin' cartoons and then backing it up with whomping good musicianship and tunes you gotta be dead to resist... Festival planners: Book these guys! You will not be sorry." - Dennis Cook - Jambase.com

This is the first song and music video featuring The Staxx Brothers singers, The Staquelettes on lead vocals. The Staquelettes are Michelle Shirley O'Connor & Angela Rickard. They are an integral part of the group, and they have been a part of every official release starting with their debut LP, The 12th Street Blues. There are more Staxx Brothers original songs in the works featuring the girls as lead vocalists, and they will be a major focus of the next music video, Sugarwalls (slated to be directed by Jeff Farrell). Rumors that Davin Michael Stedman discovered the girls singing in a bus station near New Orleans are exaggerated at best.

The video was directed by Cisco McCarthy based on a concept the group presented of creating a scene from an anonymous French film. That was the inspiration. This is The Staxx Brothers second video in support of their 3rd studio album Jungle Cat. This single follows their lead single, Warpath. (http://youtu.be/RDwjxn3FkzU) The song and the album was produced by Scott Colburn. He has produced albums with acts such as Animal Collective, Arcade Fire, and Mudhoney, as well hundreds of other beloved underground bands. He's the special kind of producer with the liberty to hand select the artists he loves to work with. The Staxx Brothers feel absolutely blessed to be able to call him a collaborator and friend.

Credits:

Director: Cisco McCarthy
Song: Callin'
Album: Jungle Cat
Label: Soul United
Location: The Rec Room, Everett WA or Paris France. Choose your own adventure.

Fun facts about the cast:

  • The gentleman leading the girls to stage is Ed Bardot. He's a wonderful gentleman Davin met while working on 'Fat Kid Rules The World.' He'll be a fixture of future productions. He dresses that sharp every evening.
  • The Frenchman who introduces the girls is Dognime Coulibaly portraying 'The Don' Prince Louie III
  • The smooth operator leaning against the beam is none other than Caine the lead singer of Coldnote. He's reprise this role as Bumps Watson in Sugarwalls.
  • The young man deeply and passionately kissing his paramour is an up and coming actor named Tyler Trerise. He just co starred in a Rock & Roll themed movie directed by Mathew Lillard called 'Fat Kid Rules The World.' He will also reprise that character in Sugarwalls, as 'Slick' The Artful Dodger.
