BISS 12.19.12 - FISHBONE & 10 / BOOTSY COLLINS / METERMEN / TROMBONE SHORTY / HOT BUTTERED RUM / SEA OF DREAMS / HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Happy Holidays and while we are at it, Happy New Year BISS Listers!!  This may be the last BISS List of 2012!  Unless of course the Mayans were right and the world is ending on Friday and it's the last one ever!  Assuming they were wrong or maybe just misinterpreted, we have packed all the highlights into this week's newsletter to get you through the next couple of weeks of music!  Plus the full calendar is always right below and on our web site if you need more!

We have great shows lined up to get us warmed up this week. Some great coals for the fire come in the form of CHARLIE HUNTER & SCOTT AMENDOLA DUO at The Independent on Wednesday (*Congrats Mike S & Andi W).  No need to leave the INDY 'cause Thursday we have THE NAT KEEFE CONCERT featuring members of Cornmeal, Tea Leaf Green, Rowan/Rice Quintet, Space Cowboys, Poor Man's Whiskey, Dead Winter Carpenters, The Brothers Comatose, Huckle, The T Sisters, Emily Yates and Hot Buttered Rum (*WIN).

Friday, is the end of the world and we plan to celebrate! BISS and SF Weekly agree that one of the TOP events in SF is the legendary band Fishbone, plus new supergroup, 10 aka "TEN", featuring Thomas Pridgen (Mars Volta), Eric McFadden (pFunK), and Norwood Fisher (Fishbone) plus special performances from the Bay area's seXiest circus, Vau de Vire Society. If the world is gonna end, you might as well go out in style and get yourself some VIP tickets for this one which includes complimentary champagne, plush lounge seating, private bar access, artist meet-&-greet, & a signed event poster. *Buy 4 VIP, get one free! - @ Inner Mission (formerly CellSpace)

Looking for more celebrating on Friday night? We have NICHOLAS PAYTON & DONALD HARRISON (some of the greatest horn players of all times) with JOE COHEN & WIL BLADES smokin up the Boom Boom Room + High Beamz (*WIN).  

Celebrating in the East Bay on Friday? Too Short Live is at The New Parish! (*WIN*)

Saturday, we'll keep celebrating in FUNKY style with BOOTSY COLLINS at The Independent (*WIN). Then we head back to Boom Boom Room for round two of badass horns with NICHOLAS PAYTON & DONALD HARRISON [New Orleans Legends] + JOE COHEN & WIL BLADES BAND + High Beamz! (*WIN)

Sunday, get some rest and get ready for some holiday time with friends and family for the next few days.  Whether you celebrate on Monday for Christmas Eve or maybe with HAPPY BIRTHDAY to LEXY or if you spend Tuesday eating ham or brisket, we wish you all the Happiest of Holidays to you and yours from all of us here at BISS List!!

Then we'll pick right back up on Thursday, 12.27 and start the New Years musical weekend off right with JORDAN & THE RITUAL at the Boom Boom Room! (*WIN)

On Friday, the 28th, we couldn't be more excited for THE METERMEN featuring Zigaboo Modeliste, Leo Nocentelli, George Porter, Jr., and guest Keyboardist, Rich Vogel (Galactic)! They will be tearing it up at The Regency and even more so considering we will be celebrating half the band member's birthdays! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZIGABOO & GEORGE!

Also Friday the 28th, MACEO PARKER starts his 4 night run at Yoshi's (*WIN night 1, 10pm) and plays all the way through the 31st. You've got to catch at least one show of this sexyness.  With two shows each night and four nights, you should be able to do it!

Saturday, the 29th, TROMBONE SHORTY kicks off his 3 night run at The Fillmore with Stone Foxes opening the 29th, Pimps of Joytime opening the 30th, and BISS FAVORITE PAPA MALI opening on the 31st!  *WIN*

Also Saturday, the 29th, Hot Buttered Rum starts their three night run at Brick and Mortar with Dead Winter Carpenters opening on the 29th, Brothers Comatose on the 30th and Ten Mile Tide on the 31st.  (*WIN*)

Speaking of Dead... Furthur is starting their annual NYE run at the Civic on Saturday the 29th.

But wait, there is still more to talk about on Saturday the 29th! KARL DENSON'S TINY UNIVERSE and THE ROBERT RANDOLPH BAND are at The Independent. (Yes, it WAS at Regency but has moved to The Independent)  

The 30th is the New New Years Eve, according to KATDELIC with their late night party bumping at The Boom Boom Room (*WIN).  And we have already discussed all the runs already in progress: Maceo, Shorty, Furthur, & Hot Buttered Rum.  But two more get added to that run list with PRIMUS starting the first of two nights at The Warfield and JOAN OSBORNE & MARK KARAN doing day one of Terrapin Crossroads.

Then we welcome 2013!!! New Years Eve, the BISS Crew will be starting at The Fillmore with TROMBONE SHORTY (PAPA MALI OPENS) then we head to The Concourse for Sea of Dreams feat Gogol Bordello, Shpongle, The Glitch Mob, Trentemoller, Diego's Umbrella, Realistic Orchestra, Vau de Vire Society, Quixotic, Pumpkin, Robert DeLong, Christian Martin, Worthy, Mozaic, Syd Gris, Motion Potion, DJ Little John, Digital Honey, Dax, Plaza De Funk, Dex Stakker, Dulce Vita, Cosmic Selector & DJ Brian Williams. (*WIN*)

Then Breakfast of Champions will be returning to Utah Street & Mighty once again on Tuesday, January 1st, 2013! As always there will be an all-star DJ line-up plus live music playing from 6 AM until you cry "uncle".

If you are still going at 8pm on the 1st, Eric Bolivar is hosting a hangover party at Brick and Mortar with Brian J and David Bailis with special guest Eric McFadden and more! (*WIN*)

Happy New Year from all of us here at BISS!! Thank you for being you, and thank you for being BISS!

BISS 12.11.12 - BISS HOLIDAY COCKTAIL / CRB / ROBIN APPLEWEOOD / GEORGE CLINTON / DRAGONSMOKE / MOTET:FUNK IS DEAD!!

Happy Hannukah and Holiday Parties BISS Listers!!! This week we light the candles, deck the halls and celebrate with debauchery and dancing.

Surely, you have had your calendar marked for the 4th Annual BISS HOLIDAY COCKTAIL tonight December 11th at the Fishbowl co-hosted by our guest Startender Elie! Be there between 7 and 11 for an evening of socializing with your fellow BISS Listers.

Tuesday is also the first of five nights of CHRIS ROBINSON'S BROTHERHOOD this week at The Great American Music Hall. That's on every night except Thursday. Apparently, he wanted to be sure everyone could make it to the BISS Presents show at Brick & Mortar on Thursday night.

Wednesday, its Happy Birthday to Misty with magic gravy all over it!! And that's all we are going to say about that!!

Thursday oh Thursday.... We have BOB SNODGRASS doing a meet & greet as well as a Marble Signing at Jammin on Haight from 3-7pm. Then we have this party... and then we have that party. (Happy Birthday to Jacob!)

The BIG scene on Thursday night will be at Brick and Mortar with BISS Presents & Bay Vibes as we celebrate the CD release for both Robin AppleWood & Sol Tevél! LA GENTE will be closing out the night with their high energy dance party! There will also be special performances by Santos Perdidos & Rasa Vitalia!! (*WIN*)

Friday steps it up even more as we start the night at 50 Mason with a going away party for Faraway Family member, Paulo Baldo, from Cake, as he moves away to NYC. Then we swing through Yoshi's, cause we want the funk, gotta have the funk, of GEORGE CLINTON & PARLIAMENT FUNKADELIC! (*WIN FRI 10pm*) Still want more funk on Friday night? The super group known as Dragonsmoke, which features Stanton Moore, Ivan Neville, Eric Lindell and Robert Mercurio, is playing at The Independent. As always, The Boom Boom Room is the only place to be for the late night with THE WILL BERNARD TRIO with Wil Blades & Simon Lott, not to mention the added bonus of the JAZZ MAFIA horns. (*WIN*)

Staying north of the city on Friday? You have choices up that way too! The California Honeydrops are at the Mystic while Melvin Seals & JGB are at The Sweetwater Music Hall. (*WIN*)

Saturday after a Champagne brunch with some crazy Santas as they prep for Santacon, followed by an afternoon of latkes, then some Joyous Noels, we should finally be primed for Saturday night's shows, especially the return of Motet with Funk Is Dead. If you missed it last time, do not get left out this time! If you were there at Yoshi's last time, I KNOW you will be sure to be there again. Set one will be Motet, Set two will be Funk is Dead! Afromassive opens! **WIN WIN WIN**

How do you *WIN TICKETS* for Motet?? By CONTINUING to spread the word! Did you already email all your friends? Did you tweet it? Facebook it? Well that other guy did it more then you, so do it again or he might be the one who wins!!

You already know about the Black Crow whose playing his 4th show of the week at GAMH on Saturday. But did you know about the other Black Crow in town this weekend? TWAS THE LAST NIGHT OF HANUKKAH,THE MUSICAL BATTLE BETWEEN CHRISTMAS AND FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS with Luther Dickinson (NM All-Stars, Black Crowes), Sway Machinery featuring Jeremiah Lockwood, Thao, Rebecca Bortman, Ethan Miller (Howlin' Rain/Comets On Fire), Lyn Burton (of the Burton Sisters), Zach Rogue (Rogue Wave), Ceci Batista, Steve Berlin (Los Lobos)...and members of Antibalas at Brick & Mortar. (*WIN*)

Wondering about late night Saturday? Yes, of course there is late night and of course it is at the Boom Boom Room with BISS favorite EDDIE ROBERTS'S WEST COAST SOUNDS.

Sunday, we keep going with Live Music & a Tie-dyed Santa from 2-5pm at Jammin on Haight for their first ever TOY DRIVE benefiting station 21...bring the whole family down and climb the fire truck, give toys, see Santa at his jolliest and support a good cause. Then go catch AARON NEVILLE at The Palace of Fine Arts or the last night of CHRIS ROBINSON!

Sure looks and sounds like 2012 is going out BISS style!!

And if the world does end on 12.21, be sure to do it right with the super sexy Vau de Vire Society at their end of the world party featuring Fishbone and new supergroup TEN (Thomas Pridgen, Eric McFadden, and Norwood Fisher) plus other specials guests, at Inner Mission.**WIN**

BISS 12.4.12 - TAJ MAHAL / moe. / PHIL LESH & THE Q / OZOMATLI / FUNK REVIAL ORCHESTRA

Happy Holidays BISS Listers!!! Thanksgiving leftovers are gone... we've done Black Friday... (Some of us "Black Fridye", thank you Jammin On Haight!) Cyber Monday seems to still be going on...  Plus all the Holiday parties start next week!  The Holidaze are here!! And the Music Scene has got lots of gifts for you!!

Tonight, Tuesday starts the first of two night solo TAJ MAHAL shows at The Independent, that's right, we said solo Taj Mahal... Hope you can make it for one of these shows!

Wednesday we have ALEX & ALLYSON GREY coming to Jammin on Haight (our epic-tie-dye rainbow clothing store) to do a book signing for their new book "Net of Being" from 5-8pm.  

Thursday we have more runs starting. First of all, moe. plays the first of a three night run at The Independent.  (Yay! Skip is visiting!) In the North Bay at Terrapin starts the 4 day run of Phil Lesh & Friends, The Q featuring Phil Lesh, Warren Haynes, John Molo, Rob Baracco and Jimmy Herring! Also BRIAN MCKNIGHT starts a three day run at Yoshi's. If Thursdays are the new Friday, what does that make Friday?

Friday, those runs continue while another one starts with OZOMATLI playing the first of two nights at The Fillmore. Then we can all meet for late night for THE FUNK REVIAL ORCHESTRA at The Boom Boom Room.  

Saturday night, the marathon runs continue! Head to The Fillmore for the 2nd night of Ozo or if you have kids bring them during the day for the Ozo-kids show. Or head back to The Indy, Yoshi's or the Crossroads.  

Might have to rest on Sunday just to be ready for the EPICNESS of next week!  That is, unless we go to the last night of the Phil & The Q or last night of Brian McKnight or Meshell Ndegeocello doing a tribute to Nina Simone.

Thank you Bay Area Music Scene for all the gifts this season!!
