BISS 2.23.11 - Prince!!/ NEW MONSOON / Guitarmageddon Blues Ball /JUNO WHAT?!/ JGB /RAGGA MUFFIN /JOHN POPPER AND THE DUSKRAY TROUBADOURS!!

Listen up BISSches....Prince is here!! That is right, after Monday's show, Prince is not only doing another show tonight at Oracle Arena but he also added one more show on Thursday night!! Prince, you make us BISSFUL...totally...times 10.

So what is a BISS lister to do if they are not going to Prince? Well how about the 10th anniversary of NEW MONSOON at Yoshi's tonight.

On Thursday night, BB KING comes to The Fox Theather in Oakland. Also on Thursday night in SF is the amazing Guitarmageddon Blues Ball to celebrate Josh Clark of Tea Leaf Green's Birthday, Guitarmageddon style! Joining Josh for the night will be an all star cast of bay area guitar slingers featuring Eli Jebidiah (Poor Man's Whiskey), Sean Leahy (Sean Leahy Trio), Dan Lebowitz (ALO/Lebo), Jeff Miller (New Monsoon), and Ryan Smith (Four Year Bender). In addition to these featured guests, there will be more surprise guests sit-ins to round out this six string, blues drenched all star jam. Come on out and celebrate the blues with Josh and his legion of Guitarmaggedon cohorts for 2 sets of music!

Friday and Saturday, it's seatbelt time, (at least for Sunny, since of her favorite bands will be here for 2 nights!!) JUNO WHAT!....will be juno where, The Boom Boom Room, for their CD release party. (*WIN) This is some serious electric-funk, just remember to keep your arms in the vehicle at all times.

On Saturday, in the city, it's JGB with Melvin Seals at the Great American Music Hall (Congrats to Sharon for winning tickets!! ("That girl can dance like her back has no bone" says Sunny) In the east bay, it's the RAGGA MUFFIN FESTIVAL with Bunny Wailer and Israel Vibrations performing @ The Fox!! (**WIN)

And can we get a drum roll please...? THIS SHOW SHOULD NOT BE MISSED!!! Monday Night at the Independent is....JOHN POPPER AND THE DUSKRAY TROUBADOURS. (**WIN) Come and see Mr. Popper's new project...totally awesomeness! Now before you get the wrong idea, John Popper and The Duskray Troubadours is more than a Popper-led solo project or a back-to-basics whiff of nostalgia. It's the sum of six rock-solid players-rounded out by bassist Steve Lindsay, drummer Mark Clark, guitarists Kevin Trainor and Aaron Beavers, and guitarist/producer Jono Manson-coming together to channel the loose, limit-less spirit of simpler days.

Speaking of totally awesomeness...who came to MAKE A SCENE night with the BISS crew last Thursday night? How great was that night of music!!?....the next MAKE A SCENE is only 3 weeks away...March 24th with Sean Leahy Trio, Crackerjack Highway and another amazing set of sitins! Mark your calendars and while you are at it, Mark it for the next one on April 21st with Atomatronic & 5 Eyed Hand!!

March 17th, you can BISS ME cause I'm Irish!! BISS is throwing a St. Patrick's Day Party featuring La Gente, Ziva, The Anita Lofton Project, Cassandra Farrar +The Left Brains
Get your purple sequins and sparkles on!

Let's all take a pause in the purple madness...Dear Chadness of the Badness - We will all miss you terribly!! We love you! Love, Everyone! xoxo ♥♥

BISS 2.16.11 - BISS Entertainment Presents "Make A Scene" with Afrofunk Experience & High Beamz @ The Boom Boom Room!!

Dear BISS Listers, Based on your contributions to the music community in San Francisco, you are being cordially invited to participate in a completely unique opportunity, bringing our local musicians and fans together to "make a scene" and define the direction and quality of music locally. In order for this ongoing project to be successful, we need every one of you to participate as headliners, openers, sit-ins & fans!


At this time, we have three confirmed dates at The Boom Boom Room for the event: February 17, March 24, and April 21. We will kick off the first one this Thursday night, Feb 17th with Afrofunk Experience headlining & High Beamz opening. (Eric Levy of Garaj Mahal, Cecil Pnut Daniels, Mark Murphy of Izabella, Mo Sardella of Sol Rising, Chris Zanardi of Five Eyed Hand, & Andrew Ferren)


Let us give you more detail about this event...


What is "Make a Scene"?

Make a Scene will be a monthly residency at the Boom Boom Room, presented by BISS Entertainment. It will take place on the third Thursday of each month (March being an exception so far) to ensure consistency for our audiences. At each event, there will be an opening band which may be either an up and coming local band or a super group side project, followed by a second set from the headline band, followed by a third set of well organized (by RSVP Only) jamming sit-ins, hosted by the headliner, with a plethora of local performers, as well as, other talented musicians that may be playing at different local venues that evening.


What is the goal and why is this different?

Right now, we are blessed with many, many talented local musicians and bands. Each of those carry a fan base of differing sizes and interests. The goal of Make a Scene is to bring this talent together enabling the participants to: 1) expose new fans to their music, 2) help generate "buzz" and momentum around the local music scene that will grow and help increase popularity of the participating musicians, 3) bring musicians together who may not have otherwise had the opportunity to play on the same stage, and 4) TO HAVE FUN AND MAKE INCREDIBLE MUSIC FOR ALL TO ENJOY!!!!!!


What are the expectations?

What we need from you is a commitment to participate. You must have the foresight and enthusiasm for the concept and a desire to grow the SF music scene for long term benefit through a community effort.


SF really can be a mecca for incredible music, much like what has been happening for the past several years in NYC through clubs like Brooklyn Bowl, where incredible musicians are drawing HUGE audiences and gaining notoriety by working together towards a common goal. This is a movement, not a single event, and we want to know that those of you accepting this opportunity are on board with that concept.


We are extremely excited about this event and the potential for all of you. We hope that you share our enthusiasm and vision for what this event can become through your dedication and desire to "Make a Scene" in San Francisco!


Peace, love, and (of course) music!
