Happy Holidays and while we are at it, Happy New Year BISS Listers!! This may be the last BISS List of 2012! Unless of course the Mayans were right and the world is ending on Friday and it's the last one ever! Assuming they were wrong or maybe just misinterpreted, we have packed all the highlights into this week's newsletter to get you through the next couple of weeks of music! Plus the full calendar is always right below and on our web site if you need more!
We have great shows lined up to get us warmed up this week. Some great coals for the fire come in the form of CHARLIE HUNTER & SCOTT AMENDOLA DUO at The Independent on Wednesday (*Congrats Mike S & Andi W). No need to leave the INDY 'cause Thursday we have THE NAT KEEFE CONCERT featuring members of Cornmeal, Tea Leaf Green, Rowan/Rice Quintet, Space Cowboys, Poor Man's Whiskey, Dead Winter Carpenters, The Brothers Comatose, Huckle, The T Sisters, Emily Yates and Hot Buttered Rum (*WIN).
Friday, is the end of the world and we plan to celebrate! BISS and SF Weekly agree that one of the TOP events in SF is the legendary band Fishbone, plus new supergroup, 10 aka "TEN", featuring Thomas Pridgen (Mars Volta), Eric McFadden (pFunK), and Norwood Fisher (Fishbone) plus special performances from the Bay area's seXiest circus, Vau de Vire Society. If the world is gonna end, you might as well go out in style and get yourself some VIP tickets for this one which includes complimentary champagne, plush lounge seating, private bar access, artist meet-&-greet, & a signed event poster. *Buy 4 VIP, get one free! - @ Inner Mission (formerly CellSpace)
Looking for more celebrating on Friday night? We have NICHOLAS PAYTON & DONALD HARRISON (some of the greatest horn players of all times) with JOE COHEN & WIL BLADES smokin up the Boom Boom Room + High Beamz (*WIN).
Celebrating in the East Bay on Friday? Too Short Live is at The New Parish! (*WIN*)
Saturday, we'll keep celebrating in FUNKY style with BOOTSY COLLINS at The Independent (*WIN). Then we head back to Boom Boom Room for round two of badass horns with NICHOLAS PAYTON & DONALD HARRISON [New Orleans Legends] + JOE COHEN & WIL BLADES BAND + High Beamz! (*WIN)
Sunday, get some rest and get ready for some holiday time with friends and family for the next few days. Whether you celebrate on Monday for Christmas Eve or maybe with HAPPY BIRTHDAY to LEXY or if you spend Tuesday eating ham or brisket, we wish you all the Happiest of Holidays to you and yours from all of us here at BISS List!!
Then we'll pick right back up on Thursday, 12.27 and start the New Years musical weekend off right with JORDAN & THE RITUAL at the Boom Boom Room! (*WIN)
On Friday, the 28th, we couldn't be more excited for THE METERMEN featuring Zigaboo Modeliste, Leo Nocentelli, George Porter, Jr., and guest Keyboardist, Rich Vogel (Galactic)! They will be tearing it up at The Regency and even more so considering we will be celebrating half the band member's birthdays! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZIGABOO & GEORGE!
Also Friday the 28th, MACEO PARKER starts his 4 night run at Yoshi's (*WIN night 1, 10pm) and plays all the way through the 31st. You've got to catch at least one show of this sexyness. With two shows each night and four nights, you should be able to do it!
Saturday, the 29th, TROMBONE SHORTY kicks off his 3 night run at The Fillmore with Stone Foxes opening the 29th, Pimps of Joytime opening the 30th, and BISS FAVORITE PAPA MALI opening on the 31st! *WIN*
Also Saturday, the 29th, Hot Buttered Rum starts their three night run at Brick and Mortar with Dead Winter Carpenters opening on the 29th, Brothers Comatose on the 30th and Ten Mile Tide on the 31st. (*WIN*)
Speaking of Dead... Furthur is starting their annual NYE run at the Civic on Saturday the 29th.
But wait, there is still more to talk about on Saturday the 29th! KARL DENSON'S TINY UNIVERSE and THE ROBERT RANDOLPH BAND are at The Independent. (Yes, it WAS at Regency but has moved to The Independent)
The 30th is the New New Years Eve, according to KATDELIC with their late night party bumping at The Boom Boom Room (*WIN). And we have already discussed all the runs already in progress: Maceo, Shorty, Furthur, & Hot Buttered Rum. But two more get added to that run list with PRIMUS starting the first of two nights at The Warfield and JOAN OSBORNE & MARK KARAN doing day one of Terrapin Crossroads.
Then we welcome 2013!!! New Years Eve, the BISS Crew will be starting at The Fillmore with TROMBONE SHORTY (PAPA MALI OPENS) then we head to The Concourse for Sea of Dreams feat Gogol Bordello, Shpongle, The Glitch Mob, Trentemoller, Diego's Umbrella, Realistic Orchestra, Vau de Vire Society, Quixotic, Pumpkin, Robert DeLong, Christian Martin, Worthy, Mozaic, Syd Gris, Motion Potion, DJ Little John, Digital Honey, Dax, Plaza De Funk, Dex Stakker, Dulce Vita, Cosmic Selector & DJ Brian Williams. (*WIN*)
Then Breakfast of Champions will be returning to Utah Street & Mighty once again on Tuesday, January 1st, 2013! As always there will be an all-star DJ line-up plus live music playing from 6 AM until you cry "uncle".
If you are still going at 8pm on the 1st, Eric Bolivar is hosting a hangover party at Brick and Mortar with Brian J and David Bailis with special guest Eric McFadden and more! (*WIN*)
