| How awesome it is to live in the SF Bay Area?! This week is yet another perfect example. As Sunny says, "Seat belts ON!!!!" So, buckle up and lets go for a ride........ As we often do, we start the weekend tonight, on Thursday, with Moe @ The Fillmore. Congrats to Sue! And let's not forget the hottest Afro-Tropi-Electro-Funk-Disco- House dance party in town @ The Elbo Room for the weekly Afrolicious party!! But wait there's more tonight! HERE COME THE FUNK...not only on Thursday, but also Saturday and Tuesday....GEORGE CLINTON will be performing at YOSHI'S.......now that is some funky funky funk!! This is close to sold out so get on it!!
Staying in the East Bay tonight? Then you are sure to be @ The New Parrish for Great American Taxi with Vince Herman from Leftover Salmon.
Now, on to Friday, which kind of funk do you want? For your soul-funk, we've got ROBERT RANDOLPH playing the first of two nights @ The INDEPENDENT. For your hip-hop soul funk, we've got Breakestra @ Yoshi's. Or maybe you just want some heavy heavy afrobeat! Then you want to be at the Elbo Room for Albino! No matter how funky or heavy you are gonna get, you know you will end up at The Boom Boom Room for ERIC MCFADDEN & THE FARAWAY BROTHERS to end your night!
Then Saturday...BISS favorite, ALO is playing @ The FILLMORE for the 5th Annual Tour d'Amour : A Benefit for Music In Schools Today. Bring it! ALO is broadcasting live on blip.fm as we write this and now we really can't wait for Saturday night!! ... Still want more?....Then head to the BOOM BOOM ROOM for BILLY MARTIN (MMW) and WIL BLADES to finish out your Saturday night.
And don't forget...jazz is alive in this town with Andre Custodio's Jazz Jam Session @ 50 Mason on Sunday nights ....AND jazz jam double duty on Mondays on one little block of Grant street with Joe Cohen @ Mojito and Mike Olmos @ Grant & Green.
