BISS LIST 03.15.17 : PAMELA PARKER / MIDTOWN SOCIAL / LETTUCE + FLOOZIES / NOLA SUSPECTS + FRO / ROTC / ADRIAN BELEW / SMOKED OUT SOUL / REED MATHIS

Is it really the middle of March already? They say to "beware the Ides of March" which started with Julius Caesar in 44BC and became a famous quote thru Shakespeare's play on Julius Casaer in the 16th Century. That's not the only reason to beware... Smithsonian Magazine listed TEN reasons to beware the Ides of March including the stabbing of Caesar, cyclones, raids, blizzards, rainfall & the cancellation of the Ed Sullivan Show!  

We have no concerns for any proposed omens for the Ides of March here in the Bay Area with the stellar music we have as a preventative cure for all the may try to ail us. Short of being stabbed with 23 daggers... (even if 23 is my lucky number)

Be sure to check the full BISS Google Calendar for all the shows we have handpicked for you to check out throughout the Bay Area.

And here are my personal picks of this week's....
