HEAR & LEARN MORE ABOUT THE BANDS:

*ENAMORED (Harrison & Paulie Ann)*

Harrison and Paulie Anne (Enamored) were two lost vagrant darlings singing songs separated from one another. Somehow, their songs reached across distant lands and were transmitted in familiar abandoned caverns, aphotic tunnels, freight trains, and magical mississippi circus ships to eventually be sewn together with golden thread to create this newfangled ensemble. Only recently have they started sharing their tender hearts with the new world. With haunting soaring vocals derived in the melancholy and tragic these songs will lull you into a dream. Between the moments of their sometimes dolorous opus they bring moments of glee and wild storytelling exposing glimpses of their magical lives.

Enamored is a newer underground collaboration which means they have no Myspace, Facebook, or Twitter!! See them even before they've acquired an internet presence.
*MAGIC LEAVES*
Magic Leaves are an ever changing project fronted by Texas transplant Joshua Bruner who seems to find deep comfort in switching up genres from album to album and show to show. Psychedelia is the thread which loosely holds this always changing vibe together.http://www.magicleavesmusic.com

*THE BEARS (formerly Black Bear)*

"the bears began in 2000 and have been evolving ever since... we are inspired by the woods, the ocean, fire, natural disasters, plants & animals quietly taking over the world..." -thaddeus stoener

*CASUAL FOG*

"Casual Fog is the name chosen to present my songs. Through various configurations, and different group line-ups, different possibilites for arrangement, dynamics and interpretaion of the ideas in this music can happen. Feeling personally influenced by different types of music, and musicians, I always like exploring new possibilites for what music can be, and how any song can have many identities." - Ryan Donnelly

SeaweedSway Presents:
il gato, Sandy's (Alexi Glickman of the Botticellis), & Debbie Neigher at Viracocha
Tuesday August 24th
Full Moon Show!

Doors 7pm
Show 8pm

IL GATO is an indie-baroque-folk band from San Francisco, California. The core ensemble of musicians consists of guitarist/harmonica/vocalist Damian Holiday Scott, pianist/trumpeter/vocalist Matthew Souther, upright bassist/vocalist Andrew Thomas, and drummer/vocalist Johnny Major. With a pop sensibility, their sound incorporates folk with a reggae down beat, harmonious rap, lavish modern-classical instrumentation, and emotionally charged vocals with a floating delivery. Common associations include Modest Mouse, Beirut, Neutral Milk Hotel, and Arcade Fire.

SANDY'S is a new project from Alexi Glickman of the Botticellis.

In 2009, piano-driven singer-songwriter DEBBIE NEIGHER moved across the country to San Francisco with no job or apartment to pursue her music fully. Learning piano at age four, composing music at age thirteen, and recording her first EP in her living room at age fifteen, she has been crafting music on her own terms for as long as she can remember. Debbie's music combines the quirky storytelling of Regina Spektor, the refined and memorable melodies of Joni Mitchell, and the raucous piano riffs a la the Dresden Dolls. This fall John Vanderslice will produce her debut full-length album at San Francisco's Tiny Telephone Studio.

VIRACOCHA is an antique store on Valencia St. that has a performance space as well and is dedicated to community and creativity. A very unique place to see a show!
