Beautiful poster by Emily Ritz of Honeycomb!

SeaweedSway on Valentine's Day!
What better way to spend Valentine's Day than with Honeycomb, Chloe Makes Music, & Magic Leaves singing to you??? Even better, and most importantly, this is Chloe's long-awaited album release show!!! Her new cd, The Puppeteer, was produced by Chris Chu of the Morning Benders, plus she has a new lineup and new songs, and she's taking requests for old cheesy love songs! Josh Bruner of Magic Leaves is going to play a rare mellower acousticy solo set for the occasion; and this is Honeycomb's anticipated follow-up to their recent show at the Rickshaw Stop with Sonya Cotton.

Oh yeah, and rumor has it there will be a kissing booth at the merch table! Valentine's card-makingstation as well! If you don't arrive with a date, we'll make sure you leave with one!

HONEYCOMB
Local indie-folk ensemble full of soul singing and nimble-fingered folks, with beats that you can groove to and feel down to your bones. "I was blown away at the gorgeousness of the five part harmonies of lead singer Emily Ritz, and backup vocalist Kacey Johansing. . . Those vocals combined with Nate Blaz on cello, Joe Lewis on upright bass and Andrew Maguire on vibraphone create a wall of sound that sucks you in." --Examiner.com
The band now includes local multi-instrumentalist Eric Kuhn (Silian Rail, Sean Hayes, Michael Musika).

CHLOE MAKES MUSIC
This is the long-awaited album release show for San Francisco folk musician Chloe Roth, aka Chloe Makes Music (CMM). Produced by Christopher Chu of the Morning Benders and recorded at San Francisco’s Different Fur Studios, CMM’s debut LPThe Puppeteer features a bevy of local musicians, including cellist Jen Grady (Adam Stephens, Emily Jane White), Sara Gambina-Belknap (The Bitter Honeys, Gamelan Sekar Jaya) on banjo, jazz great Noel Jewkes on clarinet, and Chu himself lending both instrumentation and vocals.

"…An impressive debut…Roth packs her sensitive songs with a torrent of words, line after line of images and emotions and interior rhymes in a kind of 19th century Victorian-style that sounds like a reincarnated Elizabeth Barrett Browning…All in all, a lovely package."
–The Marin Independent Journal

"Quirky and lithe-voiced…The Puppeteer showcases her talent for wordplay and storytelling."
–The Bay Bridged           

“…Lovely, haunting harmonies…a catchy melody of puppets still singing in my head.”
– The Deli SF

"…Folk-pop duos (Jenny and Johnny, She & Him, et al.) are a popular trend these days, so standing out is no easy feat. Chu and Roth’s “The Duel” holds its own against other charismatic efforts by their boy-girl contemporaries."
–TwentyFourBit

In October 2009, Deli SF readers voted Chloe Makes Music (CMM) their artist of the month. Around the same time, Chloe enlisted longtime friend, and frontman of the Morning Benders, Christopher Chu to produce her debut full-length record. The album sees a departure for CMM—from a pared down minimalism of guitar and cello to a larger, fuller sound. Chu brought his unique brand of arrangement to the panoply of instruments featured on The Puppeteer, which includes guitar, piano, violin, cello, harmonium, saw, accordion, banjo, clarinet, and glockenspiel.

Listening to CMM live, it’s hard not to be captivated; she typically plays to a silent and rapt audience. Her haunting songs weave stories of memory, loss, nature, and art, with what the Bay Bridged called “agile and buoyant melodies.” In her soft, vulnerable voice Chloe takes on dark narratives (three of the songs on the album are tributes to three young people who passed away in the last few years) and renders them heartbreaking and beautiful. Imbued with imagery from her upbringing on the California coasts and in the tropics and farmland of Kauai, CMM’s lyrics are a combination of the mythic and the quotidian (the track “Apollo & Daphne” is based on the myth as told in Ovid’s Metamorphoses, while the track “Wormwood” begins with a bird hitting a window). Striking a delicate balance between autobiographical and tall tales, CMM’s meditated manipulation of words and her flair for alliteration, syntax, and rhyme, make each song nothing less than a sung poem.

Growing up listening to the greatest lyricists and harmonizers of her parents’ generation, CMM lists Simon & Garfunkel and Crosby, Stills & Nash as key influences, along with folk contemporaries like Joanna Newsom and Sufjan Stevens. Combining poetic, tongue-twisting lyrics with lush, multiple-part harmonies, CMM’s music is both timeless and inventive.

MAGIC LEAVES
Magic Leaves - always exploring new sounds, front man Joshua Bruner is leading an eclectic mix of sound flavors that include Garage Rock, Afro/Brasilian Psych, and that good ole Rock and Roll. Compare to Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band, 13th Floor Elevators, Golden Dawn, the Moving Sidewalks. Band members include Shaun Elley, Henry Misner and Matt Adams of the Blank Tapes.

SEAWEED SWAY

Tonight: Sonya Cotton, Honeycomb, and Ever Isles @ the Rickshaw Stop! SeaweedSway Valentine's Day w/ Honeycomb, Chloe Makes Music, & Magic Leaves!

Hi! This is an update of a bunch of good shows coming up (see list below), and a reminder about
Tonight!!
Tuesday January 25th
SeaweedSway Presents:
SONYA COTTON
HONEYCOMB
EVER ISLES
~at the Rickshaw Stop~

This is a very special show, and it's an honor for SeaweedSway to present it. Sonya Cotton, Honeycomb, and Ever Isles' music in combination will be profound. Sonya's music, through beautifully woven harmonies, brings appreciation for who and what we have in our lives now, and evokes the memories and remembrance of those we have lost. Honeycomb and Ever Isles sounds are soothing, grooving, soulful, and incredible. You're in for a treat with this one.

Some special additions to the show: We will be selling hand-harvested seaweed and if you still need a calendar/planner for 2011, great! You can buy one at the show! The SF Poor Bastard's Almanac and Weekly Organizer will be available for $8 ($7 if you buy something from the bands too). It has all sorts of neat locally relevant info - free museum days, open mics, meteor showers, fair trade coffee shops, last BART times, moon phases, pesticide levels of common produce, which anti-gay companies to boycott, supervisor's contact info, ukulele and guitar fretboard and chords, MUNI OWL map, etc. We are likely going to offer mini acupressure sessions for people between sets as well.


Address: 155 Fell St. @ Van Ness (near Market St.)
Time: 8pm

Really hope to see you tonight!! Please read on to see the full list of recommended shows. ~jessie

She comes from a special place where country, blues and folk are made beautifully translucent and emotive. She has a special gift - her almost supernaturally beautiful, wavering soprano is one that has to be heard, with a clear transparent moonlight quality that silences a room. Her songs will burn a hole straight to your soul. Her music has been featured in Richard Linklater’s film Before Sunrise and was honored on a tribute album featuring Devendra Banhart, Bill Callahan, and Mark Kozelek. In 2010, her album Thin Thin Line was released on Mark Kozelek’s label Caldo Verde Records. Since it’s release, Kath has toured all over the US and Europe including a performance at the End of the Road Festival in England.

“Bloom sounds like a woman who has spent years in the wilderness... An earthy, unpretentious presence, she can snap a heart like a twig” -Pitchfork

“One of the most beautiful singers ever. Heartbreaking.” -Devendra Banhart

Devastating songwriting.” -NPR

PANCAKE BREAKFAST / MIKE MIDLO
Pancake Breakfast is a nine-member roots machine from Portland, Oregon. Most of these songs were made-up on a little farm, far away from the big city. Mike Midlo wrote them. He tested each one by singing it to the dog and chickens before playing it for the band. That seemed to work out pretty well. The members of Pancake Breakfast like to have a good time. You can hear that on their debut full-length record. Sometimes they holler and make loud noises. You can hear that on the record, too! All the tracks were recorded by Mike Coykendall (She and Him, Blitzen Trapper, M. Ward) in a comfy house near a dormant volcano.
