BISS LIST 02.22.18 : HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELIE / FARE THEE WELL ARMORY / THE WOOD BROTHERS / GOGOL BORDELLO / ROBERT PLANT

It's exactly midnight on Thursday, February 22nd... so most importantly, Happy Birthday Elie!!  I thought maybe this week, I would get BISS out to you early on Monday or Tuesday night. Maybe, if I spit this out quickly, we can still call it Wednesday night... It's not really tomorrow until you go to bed, right?  

This week wasn't busy with Mardi Gras or Valentine's Day, so I thought I might try to help Phil out a little cause I know how hard it is to keep our calendar updated every week. (Thank you Phil!) I decided to put some extra time into scouring venue calendars and other resources for upcoming shows.  There is some good stuff coming up! The Fillmore alone has 30 shows on the BISS Calendar now (http://bit.ly/bisslistcalendar).

Altogether, there are 294 upcoming shows that I just imported into the BISS Google Calendar from all over the Bay Area thru as far out as August.  Just the fact that you follow this list, I have no doubt that you will find something you like that you didn't know about! 
This week(end), I personally have two events that I will not miss...

Friday night, we'll be at Terrapin Crossroads to celebrate Elie. We all love that man, don't we?! It should be one helluva birthday celebration! Happy Happy El!
Saturday night, Fare Thee Well Armory! It's the end of an era and Lonni Punani & Chris Martin are throwing one of the last ever parties at The Armory.  Music provided by: Chris Martin, Alvaro Bravo, Charlotte The Baronness, & Galen PLUS Burlesque Show by Pearl's Party Girls, Bellydance performance by May Yang, & Glitter by Miss BISS from Sunny Sparkles (Love on Haight), & Tooth Gems by Foxy.
In the interest of getting this to you before 1am... let me get on with it...

BISS LIST 02.15.18 : MIKE GORDON / LOTUS / LETTUCE + MOTET / MONOPHONICS / MIKE CLARK, DONALD HARRISON & WIL BLADES / RONKAT'S KATDELIC //NXT WK: FARE THEE WELL ARMORY!

It's been quite a week, hasn't it friends?  The Mardi Gras parade from Patrica's Green to Brick and Mortar was awesome as always. Then we hopped back and forth from Jazz Mafia to Zigaboo to Chali 2 na!  Valentine's day was LOVEly. (Especially if you were able to avoid the news) So here we are at Thursday and heading for the weekend and ready for this week's BISS...

I am sure all you Phish Phreaks are at the Indy right now for Mike Gordon and you probably spent your Valentine's day there too, didn't you?

Let's talk about the weekend... More specifically, let's talk about MY weekend plans...  Then I'll give you my short list of the best of the BISS and you can choose your own adventure.

Friday, there are a lot of choices for good music around the bay from Lotus at UC Theatre (*WIN*) to Dark Star Orchestra at the Warfield (*WIN*) to Lettuce AND Motet at The Fox.  For me, it's a no brainer cause I'm a huge Motet fan and a huge Lettuce fan. So that's where I will be for sure! When we get back to the city, we'll be heading straight for Mike Clark, Donald Harrison & Wil Blades at the Boom Boom Room (*WIN*).

Saturday night, we're crossing a bridge again, this time going north, for the SECOND of two nights of looooong time favorite, Monophonics at Sweetwater (*WIN). Lucky for us, the Sweetwater tends to end early and no doubt that another looooong time fave, Ronkat's Katdelic, will start late (guessing the usual, 11:45) at the Boom Boom Room (*WIN*). We should have plenty of time to get to the BBR and have our brains split at least once before they end (guessing the usual, 2:45am).  Bottom line? Check out the picks of the week below and go where you choose, but let's meet at the Boom Boom for last call and a solid get down...
Sunday, what shall we do? Sleep? Work? More music? Build a dresser? Dead Winter Carpenters at Freight & Salvage? ALO + JOHN CRAIGIE at Hopmonk? Return Of The Cypher at BBR? Wil Blades at Madrone?

Check out the list below for the best picks from the BISS Calendar and make your own plan for this next week in music in the Bay!

BISS List 02.09.18: SCOTT PEMBERTON + TONY GLASER / BRASS MAFIA / ERIC KRASNO / RETURN OF THE CYPHER / HAPPY MARDI GRAS & HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Happy Mardi Gras AND Happy Valentine's Day my dear BISS Listers!! I'm declaring this an extended weekend due to Mardi Gras on Tuesday and Valentine's on Wednesday. It's been two years since Miss BISS was ready and able to take the lead in the annual Mardi Gras parade from Patricia's Green (that's the park on Octavia at Hayes) to Brick and Mortar. We literally stop traffic on our way (see picture below of the crowd following me across Market?) It's a true second line complete with bead and brass!

When we get to Brick, there will be great NOLA style food brought to you by the chefs at the Crafty Fox cause you'll be hungry after dancing through the streets. And of course, the bar will be open cause you will definitely be thirsty. ��
#offthewagon
Then we'll continue the celebrate Mardi Gras style with a full night of music at Brick and Mortar. Buy your tickets now! 
You could also enter to WIN TICKETS for this party by sharing that link and emailing biss@bisslist.com to let us know where and when you did!
#Laissezlesbonstempsrouler
This weekend looks like a great kickoff to Mardi Gras with Brass Mafia's Mardi Gras Celebrationtonight & tomorrow at Feinsteins at the Nikko.
Though I will be starting in my hood with Tony Glaser band opening for Scott Pemberton at Boom Boom Room. The timing over there should work out perfectly to slip out for Brass Mafia after Tony's set and still make it back for the second set of Scott Pemberton.
Tomorrow night, it's #sunnypammytime night. Yaaaaay! We are gonna end up at Great American Music Hall for March Fourth Marching Band. Congrats to our winner Dave A on winning a pair of tickets!
As always, I have made a list of my picks for the weekend. But I went all the way through next Friday in case I am late again next week. I even tried to sort them in order by preference as hard as that is! That's not to say that the full  BISS Calender isn't already an excellent selection of shows around the bay recommended by the ever faithful BISS List crew. So be sure to check it out: http://bit.ly/bisslistcalendar.

One last thing, can you remember this? 22828. OK, now the next time you talk to someone about what's happening in the funk and jam scene around here, you tell them to pull out their phone and send a text to that number with the word: BISSLIST in the text. They will get a reply asking for their email address and then be added to the list. Now they won't have to ask you, cause they will KNOW!

BISS List 01.31.18 PHIL, KARL, ROBERT & FRIENDS / KENDRA MORRIS / PRESERVATION HALL / KDTU / FISHBONE & CROOKED STUFF / VICTOR LITTLE / PETER MURPHY / ERIC MCFADDEN

Happy February! You know what that means? We're done celebrating and recovering from the holidays and the new year. Not to mention we are all (hopefully) recovered from the coughs, colds and flus! So NOW it's really time to kick off 2018. **
I don't really like to "declare" resolutions. They are like rules... and what are rules? ...Just waiting to be broken.
So, here comes February. Sober February? Healthy February? If I were going to try to eat healthier or work out more, it's easier to start in February, right?   No. Not just because it's shorter. It truly makes more sense. By the time you get to February, you have done all the toasting to the new year that you are gonna do.  Why set yourself up to fail?
If I were gonna "declare" a resolution, I think it would be "more hang time in 2018". And I might also resolve to get out for more shows in 2018. I am not the 3-5 show per night and 4-5 night a week Miss BISS I used to be... but with a little help from all of you on the BISS crew, we rep at all the best shows across the bay!
So get ready, set, & go!
If you are receiving this late on Tuesday night, then I was probably home finishing this newsletter and not at Phil Lesh & Friends featuring Karl Denson, Chris Gelbuda, Scott Metzger, John Molo, Robert Randolph & Barry Sless at Terrapin Crossroads.  So we don't get to hang tonight...
As luck would have it, they are doing it again Wednesday at Terrapin so I get a second chance tomorrow for Phil Lesh & Friends featuring Karl Denson, Chris Gelbuda, Scott Metzger, John Molo, Robert Randolph & Barry Sless.  It's sold out though so not sure I will be able to hang out with you there. #nohangtime
I would really like to see Kendra Morris tomorrow night at Brick and Mortar so we might be happy to stay in the city. There are tickets to be won for this show. Simply spread the word by sharing the link below.  Then email biss@bisslist.com to let us know where you shared.  Then we can totally hang out there. #hangtime
Thursday, if I had a ticket, I would be in attendance for the ENTIRE night of the SFJAZZ GALA 2018 HONORING PRESERVATION HALL at SF Jazz - Performances by Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Ellis Marsalis, Terence Blanchard, Chucho Valdés, SFJAZZ Collective, Pedrito Martinez, Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah, Daymé Arocena , Saul Williams, Airto Moreira, Ernán López-Nussa and more - AFTERPARTY featuring: GALACTIC, The Original Pinettes Brass Band at SF Jazz - Miner Auditorium
Tickets for the entire night range from $450 -$1200- $125, 000 /
AFTERPARTY ONLY TIX: $145 for Members / $170 for Public ($85 / $110 tax deductible) 
#steep
Friday, we have three reasons (at least) to cross the Golden Gate Bridge to Marin. If timing were on our side, we would start in Mill Valley at Sweetwater with The Crooked Stuff. Then we could run over to Terrapin for Karl Denson's tiny Universe. Then back to Sweetwater for Fishbone!
We have giveaways for that Fishbone and Crooked Stuff shows so if you enter to win, we could all hang out at Sweetwater! You know the drill. Spread the word and WIN TICKETS! #hangtime
Saturday, we know we are gonna end the night with VICTOR LITTLE'S BIG HIT performs EARTH WIND & FIRE vs PRINCE at Boom Boom Room and you KNOW we can hang there LATE!  We are kinda hoping that Peter Murphy's Visa issue might get sorted out, so he can start his 17 show residency at the Chapel and maybe catch him performing "Deep" in its entirety that night. #Latenight #hangtime
Sunday, long time friend and BISS favorite, Eric McFadden is playing an acoustic show with his friends at Ivy Room. #morehangtime
Is that enough to get you started? No? Then check out the.....
