BISS 2.9.12 - Moksha / Social Distortion / Albino / Big Head Todd / Dr Dog / Ronkat!!

Are you all feeling the love BISS Listers? Not only is the love flowing but so is the good music, so put your bright ruby red on, or add some pink to your hair and let's get ready to boogie on down! Before we get into upcoming shows, let's talk about last night, cause Wednesdays need love too. Yoshi's was getting old school with The Tubes. Come on you know, "White Punks On Dope".... "She's A Beauty"... I don't think I have ever called a show at Yoshi's loud or quasi-pornographic but there's a first time for everything. We then arrived at the Independent just in time for Lukas Nelson's set. Yes, that is Willie Nelson's son and yes, he sounded eerily like his dad on quite a few songs. Though he's more rock n roll and bluesy overall. Highlight of that show? Sit-in by Bobby Weir on Maggie's Farm, Little Red Rooster & I Shall Be Released. Ruby Stewart, Rod Stewart's daughter, also sat in on I Shall Be Released. Unexpected & fun Wednesday night out. We love you SF! Thanks for being you. Tonight, the BISS crew is invading the Boom Boom Room for MOKSHA with JEN HARTSWICK & the all that is dirty SKERIK (*Congrats Hilary D!)....can we get a "grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"....And for you East Bay party goers, check out STU ALLEN and MARS HOTEL at Ashkenaz. Who got tickets to the sold out SOCIAL DISTORTION shows at The Fox this Friday and Saturday? If you did, we know that's where you will be... you lucky ducks! Didn't get a ticket for Social D? No worries this is the City By the Bay! On Friday check out STORM LARGE and THE BALLS at the Red Devil Lounge. Then make your way over to Brick and Mortar to see MARCUS COHEN and THE CONGRESS (*WIN). Finish off your night with ALBINO at The Boom Boom Room (*WIN)..... If you are in the North Bay BISS crew, check out CALIFORNIA HONEYDROPS at Hopmonk Tavern in Sebastopol. Saturday night, just spin in a little 20 block circle and catch as many shows as you can! We'll start at the Fillmore to catch BIG HEAD TODD & THE MONSTERS (*Congrats Michael S. and Katy L!).... Then we hit up DR. DOG at the Regency (*Congrats Jason S. and Lisa T!) Then we get into funk mode with RONKAT'S KATDELIC & KENO MAPP at the Great American Music Hall (*Congrats Phillip R!). Then we keep the funk going late night with VINYL at The Boom Boom Room. (*WIN) BISS crew finishes out the weekend at the Roller Disco at 6th ave & Fulton starting at noon on Sunday.
