BISS 09.21.12 - GOV'T MULE / ALLEN TOUSSAINT / WILCO / W-BEEZ / NIGEL HALL'S HOT SAUCE / MUCH ADO ABOUT SEBASTOPOL

Wow!! What an amazing weekend everyone had at the second annual Guitarfish! I just got back late on Wednesday after breaking it all down, so please forgive the tardiness of this week's BISS newsletter. We were so blown away by the feedback we got from all of you who attended. The reports started coming in on the first night of the festival and continued through the weekend! I probably don't have to tell you, because you have already heard. The musical lineup was stellar, the people were happy and the vibe was just magical!! It's amazing to hear things like "best music festival ever" from the likes of you!! Thank you, every single one of you for your contribution to this year's Guitarfish Festival! It takes a family to raise a festival and our little baby is ready for year three!! No rest for the bay area musical community though!! We are pros here on BISS crew! So let's get on with it!! Tonight, Friday, we have some serious venue hopping to do to hit it all!!  As you have come to expect, For the Bayou, is throwing another amazing benefit show tonight at Bimbo's 365. BAY FOR THE BAYOU, Part Deux, Benefit To Help Save the Louisiana Wetlands! Bay For The Bayou is a benefit concert and auction featuring Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Blues Hall of Fame inductee and Grammy nominee ALLEN TOUSSAINT and his BAND. Also performing are the soulful Bay Area favorites, The California Honeydrops, the melodic folk string ensemble, The Shots, & other special guests, including former San Francisco Mayor, the Honorable Willie Brown, who will say a few words. All directors and officers of the organization are volunteers and non-paid. http://www.forthebayou.org/ But let me ask you this! Where's my mule?! Where's my forty acres!! That's right!  Mr. Warren Mother******g Haynes is in town with Gov't Mule at The Warfield tonight!! This is NOT the Warren Haynes Band you have seen in recent times. This is MULE!! Not for the weak hearted!  Ready for some old school shredding?!  Oh YES I AM!!  **Congrats to Harvey P and Andrea A!!!  http://thewarfieldtheatre.com/eventdetail.php?id=37101   Then let's all meet up late night at The Boom Boom Room for the W-BEEZ with WIL BLADES, WILL BERNARD, JAZZ MAFIA HORNS & BRANDAN ETZLER (*Congrats to Kai F).  Uh...Did someone say Adam Theis?!! **You might just have to come to see what THAT'S all about!  Hint: it's a new drinking game invented at Guitarfish! If the beautiful weather keeps up, then you might as well get out and enjoy it on Saturday in Golden Gate Park. Tour de Fat takes place in Lindley Meadow and features HE'S MY BROTHER SHE'S MY SISTER, YO-YO PEOPLE, LOS AMIGOS INVISIBLES, THE MOTH- TRUE STORIES TOLD LIVE, and SSSNAKENSTEIN.  For those who haven't experienced Tour de Fat, it is a thrilling rite of passage that includes an unparalleled costumed bicycle parade, New Belgium beer, eccentric entertainment, local food, unusual bike contests and much more. The Bike Parade begins at 11 am from Lindley Meadow in Golden Gate Park, but be there early to register. Then again, many of you may just be gearing up for night number two of Wilco at the Greek Theater in Berkeley. Saturday night, in the city, it heats up with Nigel Hall's Hot Sauce feat. members of Warren Haynes Band, Soulive, Vinyl & The Jazz Mafia, Eddie Roberts, plus Special Surprise Guests at Brick and Mortar.  **Congrats to Adam T & Matthew T!!  (No, that's not Adam Theis though he will be there playing! Now drink!) Follow that up with some Funk Revival Orchestra at Boom Boom Room to end your Saturday night late and right!! Congrats to Nick G! Feeling even more old school?
