BISS 12.28.17 : INFAMOUS STRINGDUSTERS & KELLER WILLIAMS / CHRIS ROBINSON BROTHERHOOD / STS9 / KATDELIC / EXTRA ACTION MARCHING BAND / CA HONEYDROPS / CON BRIO / HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Hope you're having a fantastic holiday season BISS Listers!  I've spent a good portion of the last couple of weeks out here on the East Coast. Man! It's cold here! I am writing this to you in the car as we drive from Atlanta to New Jersey for my sister's wedding on New JersEve. Congrats to Jaime and Chris!  

I'll probably be sending this out from our next stop in Richmond, VA. Kai & Shanks, thanks for letting us stay there. Can't wait to see you guys! Hope we make good time to you... (LOL). After NYE, we'll be in Atlantic City and then Manhattan with a day or two in Brooklyn before we head back to the bay.

As you might imagine, there are some pangs of FOMO as I write this NYE edition of BISS. But like I always say, or at least I try to tell myself, there is no such thing as FOMO, cause you are always right where you are supposed to be... But try writing a newsletter like BISS (while going 85 miles per hour) and having to go through the calendar of BISS shows personally selected by the BISS crew tor this coming weekend without a little FOMO kicking in. Then try to pick the "Best of" those shows from the 9 shows on Thursday, 15 on Friday, 19 shows on Saturday, and a whopping 31 shows on Sunday!

So here is my attempt to narrow it down to just the BEST OF (IMHO) for 12/28 thru 1/8...

BISS 12.14.17 : HAPPY CHANUKAH / MONOPHONICS / CHRIS ROBINSON BROTHERHOOD / PAPA MALI / GLITTER CABANA / BILL GRAHAM MENORAH DAY / IN LOVING MEMORY OF BO

Happy Chanukah BISS Listers! Today, December 14th, is night three of the festival of lights. Tonight, when I light my candles, they will have a little extra special meaning as I light them in honor of my late husband, Mr. Robert Bo Mahoney who passed away two years ago today.  It's gonna be a long, hard day as much as it's been two long hard years... (FIVE if we're really counting...) However, I know I'll make it through today the same as I have made it through the years with the never-ending love and support of so many of my amazing friends, family and community.  I named the photo below "Gratitude". It's from an epic night where all those friends & family came together and honored Bo's memory with a huge magical musical tribute at The Fillmore.  Again, I say Thank you.
Still love you.
Still miss you.
Every.
Day.


It's hard to imagine going out to a show where I might dance and have fun on a day like today. I was going to stay in. But as it happens, 'My boys", aka Monophonics, who refer to me as "Mama Pam", are playing at the Indy. If you don't know, they were the first band I managed, and I was their first manager somewhere back about 10 years ago. Bo and I toured with them. And of course, Bo, Mr. FOH
Engineer, mixed them and LOVED them (as do I). When I recently ran into some of the boys and they said they would like to honor him at the show tonight at The Independent, it was instantly clear that THAT is the most perfectly appropriate place for me to be tonight.

Tonight, also begins the three-night run of Chris Robinson Brotherhood at The Fillmore. Congrats to all three of our winners! Thank you for repping for BISS tonight at the show! How did they win, you ask? They read the stellar interview with NealCasal of CRB from BISS List Contributing Editor, Josh Danson! Then they shared it and emailed biss@bisslist.com to let us know. Check it out for yourself! http://bit.ly/BISSListInterviewNealCasal
Then get yourself a couple of tickets for one of these shows! See ya there on Friday night!

After the Fillmore on Friday night, it's often a no brainer to head across the street to the Boom Boom Room.  Even more so when PAPA MALI's Holiday Folly ft. Jay Lane, Will Bernard, Victor Little & More + PROFESSOR JONES + DJ K-OS are playing! Also playing Saturday but with one of BISS Lists new faves, Crooked Stuff opening the night. You can **WIN TICKETS** to either of these shows by spreading the word about these shows! Email it, Facebook it. Tweet it. Whatever you think will get the word out. Then email biss@bisslist.com to let
us know how you've been spreading the word and why you should rep for the BISS crew at one of these shows.

Saturday is another full of friends' holiday parties everywhere from North Beach to San Rafael. See ya'all late night back here in the Fillmore hood at
BBR for night two of Papa Mali.

Sunday, there's no rest for the weary! I am super excited for a #SundayFunday! Lonni Punani & DJ Seven are throwing their first holiday "Glitter Cabana" to tie a bow on the season of holiday parties in SF. Glitter attire encouraged. Glitterfied DJs: M3 (Green Gorilla, Disco, Knights, Great Northern, Monarch), Duserock (Monarch), DJ Seven (The Unusual Suspects - SF), Jonboy (Disco Katz), Kevin Know aka Kevin O'Neill (Mucho Disco, ExitWestSF), Chris Martin (Driftwood, Not Coldplay), Christopher Föor (SF) PLUS yours truly , Miss BISS will be hosting the Sunny Sparkles glitter booth. Come thru and let me make you
sparkle!

That's not all for this #SundayFunday! This year marks 45 years since Bill Graham donated the 25 foot Menorah to the city of San Francisco. At that time, it was the first public Menorah erected outside of Israel.   There are now some 500 menorahs of this kind being lit across the world during the festival of lights but ours will always remain the "Mama Menorah". Every night in the
Square during Chanukah is a spectacular lighting with Rabbi Langer and the rest of the Chabad crew supported by one of my most favorite SF families, The Kennedy Cohens. However, they always get especially down on one Sunday during the festival of lights bringing in live music with Jerry's Kosher Deli and other fun forms of entertainment. So, I will be taking a break from the Glitter Cabana somewhere in the 3-5 time-frame to drop in at Union Square for Bill Graham Menorah Day!

Trying to pull the Best of the BISS this week and through the New Year and finding it quite difficult.  But I am about to do my best here. I am also going to do my best not to have FOMO since I leave for the East Coast early next week meaning I will be missing lots of the good upcoming stuff here in the Bay! 

Here's this week's....

BISS LIST 12/6/17: BISS HOLIDAY PARTY / SONGS ABOUT SOMETHING / JIMMY HERRING / DEVON ALLMAN / REX BENEFIT / POLYRHYTHMICS & DIRTY REVIVAL / VICTOR LITTLE

Happy December BISS Listers! And with that, it is 100% Holiday Party time. That means that sometimes we might have to miss some music to spend time with our friends and family as hard as it may be to tear ourselves away from the music which somehow seems to be the best whenever we aren't able to be there. We must try to do our best to follow BISS Rule #1, "There is no such thing as FOMO".  The idea behind that is that while we might be feeling we are missing out, we must remind ourselves that we are right where we are supposed to be. Therefore, there is no such thing as "Fear Of Missing Out".
 
I hope that you will all find that the place you are supposed to be tonight is kicking off the holiday party season with BISS and Elie at The Fishbowl! We have had some great times at the Fishbowl over the past 8 years since this holiday party tradition started. It's totally casual. No gifts. No decorations. No muss. No Fuss. Just a few hours to socialize with all our BISS friends and let Elie pour us some good solid stiffies!

 
There are multiple parties and multiple shows every other day of this week and next, so I leave it up to you! If music is your choice, here are my picks for the best of this week!

Share the link below with your friends on Facebook or Twitter or stand on your roof and shout it. Then email us at biss@bisslist.com to enter to win!

Friday is gonna be a Boom Boom Room Presents kind of night from beginning to the very late end as they bring you BOOM BOOM ROOM PRESENTS: Dragon Smoke + Ideateam at The Independent.  I know that show is Sold Out but you might find a ticket somewhere if you start looking ASAP. Either way, the late show is at, where else, the Boom Boom Room for the Official Dragon Smoke After Party with Idea Team. Door at 12am. Going until 3+.

Saturday night, Zigaboo Modeliste and the New Aahkesstra are throwing a Holiday Kick-Off Party with The King of the Funky Drums at Sweetwater Music Hall! Looks like Zig and his crew are beating Elie and I to the punch on the holiday kick offs! Yet another chance to *WIN* tickets from BISS just by spreading the word!  
Tuesday, I will be working on getting BISS out to you because as you all know by now....
Wednesday is 9th Annual BISS Holiday Party Starring Guest Startender Elie at Fishbowl Bar & Grill from 7-11pm.

BEST OF THE BISS
