IN SEARCH OF GOOD FOOD film + benefit for EarthShare CA tonite! BEEHAVERS CD RELEASE + magic leaves friday! CONSPIRACY OF VENUS + michael musika saturday! JOSEPH CHILDRESS, rock falls, + assateague sunday! (weekend @ amnesia)


hello everyone,
there are 4 more shows that i'm involved with in october - tonight through sunday - & then a little break until november. here goes... 
................

tonight! i'm very excited to finally get to see antonio roman-alcala's film, in search of good FOOD, documenting and interviewing a variety of players in CA's sustainable food system. (features some music from slow motion cowboys!) ALSO, it's a benefit for the non-profit i've worked at for 7 years, earthshare california. we raise $ for over 80 environmental non-profits, covering a spectrum of issues & topics - clean air & water, healthy sustainable food, land conservation, care of the great sea, mountain lions, desert tortoises, and beyond. it's at el rio in the outer mission, and is gonna be a really fun night. pocket full of rye is playing music after the film, then there will be a few more local films. networking happy hour 6-8 to start the night. would mean a lot to see you there!


Tuesday Oct. 18th --> In Search of Good Food Film & Benefit show for EarthShare CA (where I work!) at El Rio, with live music by Pocket Full of Rye. Songbird Fest Presents!
networking happy hour 6-8pm, film & music 8pm, $7-15 sliding scale 

then, this weekend, i'll be living at amnesia apparently. friday is the long-awaited beehavers' cd release. and to add to the glory, they are releasing not one but two cd's. what?!!! gypsy voodoo folk-rock-n-roll at it's finest. arborea from maine are opening. i've heard some of their songs and am in awe and intrigued. beautiful. magic leaves are closing off the night with some psych-folk-rock joy for our souls. can't wait. unmissable. this show is worth changing all your plans to attend.


Friday Oct. 21st --> the Beehavers CD Release with Magic Leaves & Arborea (from Maine) at Amnesia, SeaweedSway Presents, 9pm, $7

................

sunday!!! super sweet show w/ new music (for me) ~ the show was built around rock falls, who are on tour. singer/songwriter annie reese has such an incredible voice ~ can't get enough of the songs i've heard already. "hushed & haunting" joseph childress will end the night with his moving & powerful renditions of stories  ~waves of sound to move us along. opening the night is this band i've literally been listening to on repeat since two weeks ago, when i first heard of 'em. my new favorite band. assateague. they're local, don't play out much & are gracing us with their songs on this night. really important to arrive early & see 'em! doors at 8:30, show at 9. this is also a long-awaited collaboration w/ seaweedsway & arvel hernandez's collective project, endless nest.

7 years of seaweedsway sf weekly interview + party @ amnesia tonight w/ the blank tapes, collin ludlow-mattson, & the beehavers ~ whiskerman & david wax museum sunday @ amnesia ~ sean hayes, fpodbpod, & chasing the moon next thurs. july!!

hey everyone,

recently my friend bryant (aka beeface killah of the beehavers) was chatting with me & asked how long seaweedsway had been going. i realized it's been 7 years since i've been promoting here in the bay area. crazy! then we realized the show we were working on together would be on 7-7. perfect! we decided to celebrate 7 years of seaweedsway on 7-7, which is today. yay!

then, miraculously, emily savage at sf weekly's all shook down music blog asked to interview me about what it's been like, and here is the resulting article: http://blogs.sfweekly.com/shookdown/2011/07/promoting_bands_in_sf_a_how-to.php

i'm very grateful that emily took the time to ask these questions. it made me think more about what this project is, and is perhaps becoming, as a community effort, and i hope you'll take the time to read it. thanks for being a part of it.

seaweedsway started with the weekly email list & blog, basically. thank you to all who have kept up with it over the years, even if you don't live here. my intention with this is to share the music i love & if you live here, maybe we get to meet up at these shows, have fun experiences, hang out, & hear good music. or practice yoga, dance, or even farm & garden together. if you are out of town or don't go to shows, i hope you listen to the bands sometimes & hear new sounds that might stay with you.

and tonight! we are celebrating seaweedsway's 7th anniversary at amnesia, with a kick-ass show. collin ludlow-mattson & the folks are releasing their cd, which features collin, matt adams (who also produced the album), lucas boilon, indianna hale, & sleepy todd. "the folks" tonight will include sean olmstead & will halsey as well. matt adams of the blank tapes is releasing a picnic plate vinyl of the song Double Rainbow, & will be joined by bandmembers will, sean, & maybe steve winchell (if he's back from the rainbow gathering on time). the beehavers are whole-heartedly opening the night, with their voodoo folk-rock highly dance-able tunes. show starts at 9 and is $7-10. 




Flyer made with love by Collin Ludlow-Mattson

this month! in addition to tonight's show, seaweedsway is presenting and/or helping with 7 more shows in july. sunday whiskerman & the david wax museum @ amnesia, next thursday on the full thunder moon is sean hayes, fpodbpod, & matt bauer's chasing the moon @ the new parish, saturday the 16th is quinn deveaux's cd release party & the mumlers @ the independent, sunday the 17th is the seaweedsway showcase w/ masuga, miwa, & moomaw, tuesday the 26th bombino & magic leaves @ slim's, friday the 29th bells, steve taylor, alameda, & we are the willows @ amnesia, & saturday the 30th les trois petits oiseaux & the avatar ensemble + the b stars @ amnesia. ah! yes! if you're looking for something to do on days not listed here, please check http://facebook.com/theseaweedsway or even link http://bit.ly/seaweedswaycalendar to your calendar! thanks again for supporting this project by attending (& playing!) shows or wanting to attend them or listening to the bands or just receiving these emails. :)

PRACTICE SPACE AVAILABLE AT SECRET STUDIOS

From il gato: We are looking for a band to fill a rehearsal slot at Secret Studios (2200 Cesar Chavez, SF, CA). You would have to share a drum set (yours or ours) with one of the current bands due to lack of space, though there is ample rehearsal and storage space for your band in the room. The drummer would have to use his/her own snare and cymbals. The price: $224/mo. for the band. Please email to check out the space or determine rehearsal times. Thanks! gato@ilgato.com

PRACTICE SPACE AVAILABLE IN OAKLAND

Waiting Room got a new practice space in Oakland and is looking for another band to share it. It's a few blocks from the Coliseum bart station. It's 12 by 18 ft, fan, dimmer switch. They're going to put a piano in there. So far, there are two bands sharing it. It's $455 all together, and so far they have 6 people splitting the cost... Location: Rehearse America, 8923 San Leandro st (between 85th Ave & 92nd Ave.) Oakland, CA 94621, Neighborhood: East Oakland / http://rehearse.com E-mail Ronnie at Spiltt@sbcglobal.net for more information.

DUSTIN O'HALLORAN
This acclaimed modern classical artist, film composer and Devics co-founder performs with Magik*Magik String Quartet. "All haunting, minor key strings and moody, softly tinkled piano melodies, on first listen composer Dustin O’Halloran’s latest release seems to have little relation to the optimism-hinting light of the title. Bleak and soaked in introspective emotion, Lumiere is a record that seems to brood and wallow, with a cinematic scope that builds upon the introspective minor key melodies of the two solely-piano records that preceded it.... Whilst the strings may be perennially stirring and strained, O’Halloran deliberately minimises the solace and despair of the lower stringed instruments. On Lumiere, he opts for violins where others may have chosen cellos - herein lies the intelligence and many layers of O’Halloran’s work." --Drowned in Sound
http://www.facebook.com/dustinohalloran

MAGIK*MAGIK STRING QUARTET
The Magik*Magik Orchestra is founded by artistic director Minna Choi. Its mission is to simplify the collaborative process between independent rock musicians and classical artists. The Magik*Magik Orchestra is the official studio orchestra of Tiny Telephone founded in 1997 by local Dead Oceans artist, John Vanderslice. The Magik*Magik String Quartet is an off-shoot ensemble of the Orchestra.
CONSPIRACY OF VENUS
Last show of the season, until fall! This season CoV had a whirlwind of shows, one of the highlights being the Pixies UnderCover Tribute, where Conspiracy of Venus covered "Monkey Gone to Heaven" off the album Doolittle. Conspiracy of Venus is a women's community a cappella group based in SF. The women of CoV interpret director Joyce Todd McBride's daring & inventive arrangements of songs ranging from the classic (Joni Mitchell's Big Yellow Taxi) to the cutting edge (Bjork's Possibly Maybe). The group's repertoire also includes works by Bill Withers, Rufus Wainwright, Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, and Roger Miller.
