BISS 2.23.12 - Motet / Budos Band / Malone Brothers / G-Love / ALO / Juno What

Are your feet tired from parading? The BISS Krew had a blast taking part in the first annual Brick & Mortar Mardi Gras parade featuring Jazz Mafia's Brass Mafia, Monophonics, Extra Action Marching Band and many more of our favorite local musicians! Thanks to all who partipated and represented the BISS Krew!! We cannot wait to do it again next year!! Pictures and videos are posted on the BISS List Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/BISSList Please feel free to post more if you have them!


Now, you better rest up quick, cause the rest of this week is packing a punch!!


The BISS crew will be in full force this evening, Thursday, at Yoshi's for THE MOTET: Funk is Dead featuring funkilized dead turns. (*Congrats Sara L., Christian D., Dave L., Heather S. & Heather N!), Then we stop by the Independent to shake our booties with THE BUDOS BAND. (SOLD OUT) (*Congrats Austin C!) Where shall we go after? How about Boom Boom Room for Brian Jordan's Boogaloo band.


Friday, wherever you land, the BISS Crew will be there! For some of the crew it starts with a boat trip, continues with a birthday dinner and then lands at Brick & Mortar to continue the birthday celebration with The Malone Brothers. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELIE!! (*Congrats Sean S. & Brian S!) Some of us BISS crew will be taking a little detour over to The Fillmore between sets to get some G-LOVE & SPECIAL SAUCE. (*Congrats Katy L. & Diana W.) While some of you may be at Connecticut Yankee with THE HAIRY APES. Wherever the crew may start the night, we will all converge at the Boom Boom Room late night for JUNO WHAT!!!! (*Congrats Heather S!)


If you are staying in the North Bay this weekend, check out VINYL at Sweetwater Music Hall on Friday! They are playing on Saturday too, but it's already sold out, so if you don't have a Saturday ticket, get over there and see them on Friday!


On Saturday in the city, the place to be is ALO at The Filmore with their 6th Annual Tour D'Amore. (*Congrats Jason S. & John C. & Nancy Z!) Then ,of course, off to the Boom Boom Room to catch one more night of JUNO WHAT!!!!! (*Congrats Doug M!)


Maybe some stretching will be in order after all this music, cause next week is just as rocking as this one...

Seat belts on BISS Listers, we are set for musical awesomeness...the only way to BISS.


Big BISS CONGRATULATIONS to one of our favorite bass players, Myles O'Mahony, from one of our favorite bands, Monophonics as he ties the knot with his beautiful fiancé this Sunday!
