Happy New Year from the BISS List!!
Tonight, Thursday 12/28, we're starting early with The Monophonics opening at The Red Devil Lounge. Then I know some of you are stopping by either Banyan at 12 Galaxies or Violent Femmes at the Fillmore. But we'll all end up over at the Boom Boom Room for Tracorum! The guitar player in the band is one of my favorite local musicians! And another one of our local favorites, Danny from Vinyl, is planning to stop by and sit-in. You can win a pair of tickets to this show, Tracorum at the Boom Boom Room, by emailing me back right now with one new email address for the list!!!
Tomorrow, Friday 12/29, I am starting out at New Orleans Social Club at the Independent. I know that some of you may be going to the Radiators or Banyan. But we should all meet up for Topaz & the Left Coast All-Stars at the end of the night at the Boom Boom. Have you seen these guys before? Check out the line-up: Topaz, Brian Jordan, Will Bernard, Anthony Farrell, Dale Fanning, Adam Theis, Joe Cohen. You can win a pair of tickets to this show, Topaz & the Left-Coast All Stars at the Boom Boom Room, by emailing me back right now with one email address for the list!
Then on Saturday 12/30, I am starting out close to my home at Cafe Du Nord for The Radiators. Maybe we'll try to stop by String Cheese or Gnarls Barkley & the Flaming Lips. But by the end of the night, I will be over at the Boom Boom again for Topaz & the Left Coast All-Stars. I have a pair of tickets to give away for that show as well! Again send me an email right now with one new email for the list and you win tickets for Topaz & the Left-Coast All Stars at the Boom Boom Room!!
Then Sunday - New Year's Eve? You have all know I am on the party bus to Les Claypool. It is going to be so much fun. We actually had two spots open up if anyone is interested! Make sure you send me a text message (415-385-0496) from whatever party you are at on New Year’s Eve so I know where to go when I get back from Santa Rosa!!
Can you keep up? Of course you can…
B.I.S.S.!!!!!!!!!
