BISS LIST 04.29: LCD / FUNKY KNUCKLES / ROTC // NXT WK: CALIFORNIA KIND / SMOKED OUT SOUL / HOT BUTTERED RUM / KATDELIC / JGB / HAPPY BIRTHDAY WARFIELD & WAVY GRAVY

Hey Hey BISS Listers... If you have been following me or the BISS page on Facebook over the last couple of weeks, you know I have been scrambling to get the NOLA Special Edition of BISS updated and out. Thank you to all who participated in and are still participating in making that happen! We will continue to add shows and giveaways to the calendar for NOLA every day thru the fest. http://bit.ly/NOLABISS2018 I know it has been a while since Sunny Sparkles has taken the BISS List mic, but the time for her return has come! As I gear up for NOLA Jazz Fest and run promo and street team from here until I head there on May 1, Sunny has decided to take the reins for this week's Bay Area extended edition of BISS LIST. Added awesomeness bonus for her help is that it frees me up for a little #SunnyPammy time tonight to catch up with each other before I head out on Tuesday... So, without further ado, allow me to re-introduce the rainbow-sparkle-spiral Haight Queen, the unsinkable Sunny Powers. Take it away Sunny... Hello Bay Area music fans and adored BISS Listers! It's nice to be back with you. Now with Ms. BISS going to Nola for Jazz Fest, we might as well list a two-weeker so that we can keep on moving while the busy bee is buzzing about the Big Easy, lapping up the honey-nectar of hundreds of smoking hot live shows. So for all of you in the Bay Area, there is much ado about live music. Tonight, there is night two of three of LCD Sound System at the fabulous Greek. But, if you are among the truly lucky, (I could be if you help a rainbolicous sister out!) you are catching the second show of Dave Chappelle & John Mayer's collaborative "Controlled Danger" tour at the Fillmore. Described as a "musical and comedy hybrid", a note on their website stresses to "please leave your phones at home and come experience an once-in-a-lifetime event, hosted by two of the greatest creative minds working today", so step back in time and actually watch the show! That said, I wonder what kind of table cloth John will be wearing. Oh...ponder moments. I would be remiss in my SF duties if I didn't mention that this Sunday afternoon, you should head on over to my magical Rainbow corner on Haight and Masonic, ~ LOVE ON HAIGHT, 1400 Haight Street~ for a PARTY from 2pm-6pm, celebrating the first release of the JAMMIN WARRIOR COLLECTIVE official Grateful Dead collection. We will be having a sale, some Jerry-oke, a DJ, and a whole lot of sparkles! Always worth attending is the Sunday tradition of Return Of The Cypher (ROTC) at the Boom Boom Room. This is a FREE HIP HOP PARTY with Live Rap Emcees w/ DJ's, Musicians, BreakDance & Lyrical Battles at Boom Boom Room. FREE This Sunday night closes out the three day run of LCD Sound System at the Greek-yes they did add a Sunday show, so here's hoping that some of you got a ticket for what should be a good time at a groovy venue. Another Sunny Sunday recommendation would be to get down with the FUNKY KNUCKLES at Brick & Mortar...just please think about germs peeps with all those funky knuckles!!! Funky Hand Sanitizer might be in order...keep it clean! This upcoming Tuesday check out CALIFORNIA KIND, a who's who of monster jam greats with John Yolo, Barry Sless, Rob Barraco & Pete Sears, teaming up with singer-songwriter Katie Skene. These members of David Nelson Band, The Dead, Phil Lesh, Jefferson Starship, Moonalice & more will rock the Hopmonk Tavern in Sebastopol. **WIN TICKETS** They are also playing Terrapin Crossroads on Wednesday as they wrap up their Spring Tour of the Pacific Northwest. On Thursday, 5/3 check out the new Thursday residency of SMOKED OUT SOUL at Monarch. Founded in 2013 by Zebuel Early, SMOKE OUT SOUL started out as a mixtape concept fusing southern hip hop beats with classic funk & soul. Eventually he took that sound to clubs, doing b-monthly dates, which has recently morphed into an every-Thursday event here in SF. **WIN TICKETS** When things wind down at the Monarch, you should head over to the Boom Boom Room for the James Brown Birthday Bash with the Funky Godfather... just don't ask him for any favors!!! **WIN TICKETS** Another fun option if you're feeling it in San Jose, would be seeing THE CRYSTAL METHOD at The Ritz. Next Friday, 5/4 might be worth the drive to the SAP Center in San Jose to go clap it out with DARYL HALL & JOHN OATS or head over to Ashkenaz in Berkley for Stu Allen & Mars Hotel. **WIN TICKETS** Another idea for next Friday might be a trek to Mill Valley's Sweetwater Music Hall for two shows (6:00 & 9PM) of Foreverland, An Electrifying 14-Piece Michael Jackson Tribute. Billed as "May The Fourth Be With You", this larger-than-life tribute covers songs from the Jackson Five to the King of Pop's later hits. **WIN TICKETS** If you are staying local get drenched & ready to fondue at the Fillmore with some HOT BUTTERED RUM & KYLE HOLLINGSWORTH BAND. **WIN TICKETS** Then slip and purrrrr your way over to the Boom Boom Room for BISS & Sunny favorite, KATDELIC where the party will go laaaaaaate night! **WIN TICKETS** On Saturday, May 5th go celebrate the 96th Anniversary of the Warfield Theater at the Warfield with MELVIN SEAL & JGB!!!!! The Warfield is one of the most historic venues in the city, we should celebrate that every day!!! One may also choose to growl and flip with CON BRIO with Royal Jelly Jive at the Fillmore. One must be careful of the growl, these aren't cubs...these are lions! **WIN TICKETS** in honor of Cinco De Mayo, celebrate with LAGOS ROOTS, a 17-piece Afrobeat ensemble playing Boom Boom Room. The show starts at 9:30pm. **WIN TICKETS** I will end with what is never the end...Sunday, May 6th celebrate the 82nd birthday of the most amazing clown ever~ WAVY GRAVY with a birthday celebration at Sweetwater featuring STEVE KIMOCK & FRIENDS. Bring your clown noses & kazoos!!! And as always...thank you for being the magical BISS Listers that make this list so awesome...and thank you Pam, for being a best friend a girl could ever have...and for coming back...you better come back!

BISS LIST SPECIAL EDITION: BEST OF NOLA NIGHTS: JAZZ FEST 2018

NOLA JAZZ FEST, 2018

Happy NOLA Jazz Fest 2018 my dear BISS Listers!!   When I say that, I know that there is a large number of you reading this who are tingling at the mention of those words. It doesn't matter if you are performing, attending or coordinating, this is one of those annual pilgrimages that so many of us plan to make every year with no hesitation or knowledge of "who" might be there...  I wonder to myself ever year as I put this together if any other city/scene, aside from New Orleans herself, has such a contingency of music freaks as we, from the SF Bay Area do for these two weeks every year? We will continue to update this page as more shows come in! Make sure you read ALL the way down for all the shows you can WIN TICKETS to!! http://bit.ly/NOLAJazzFestBISSCalendar

Look for *WIN TICKETS* under each banner. Then read on for rules on how to enter... *WIN TICKETS* *WIN TICKETS* *WIN TICKETS* *WIN TICKETS* *WIN TICKETS* *WIN TICKETS* *WIN TICKETS* *WIN TICKETS* *WIN TICKETS* *WIN TICKETS* *WIN TICKETS* *WIN TICKETS* *WIN TICKETS* *WIN TICKETS* *WIN TICKETS* *WIN TICKETS* *WIN TICKETS*

**WIN TICKETS **
*By spreading the word*

FIRST, look through the NOLA BISS Calendar for shows that are marked

 with *WIN TICKETS* OR just SCROLL DOWN TO THE LIST OF SHOWS BELOW. 

SECOND, spread the word about the show you want to win by sharing the information with your friends. Share the event info with your friends. This could be sharing the event or poster image online thru Facebook or Twitter or some other Social Media platform. For those of you NOT on Facebook.... (yes, I know there are a few of you out there), you could send a group email or text. Or maybe you'll hang some signs on the bathroom wall at your office. (I say this because it HAS been done before). Maybe you just have a big loud mouth and you yell about it on the corner outside another show. No matter which way you choose, this is the first part of the contest so find a way to show us what you've done to spread the word when you email biss@bisslist.com to enter.

You all would be surprised at how many shows go without winners just because people think that they would never win. I mean what band/venue doesn't want to make the extra money on ticket SALES over GIVEAWAYS but then again, why not try and see what happens!?
