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

"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.

ToniTE! LITTLE WINGS, SALT MINDS (w Mariee Sioux), MARK DAVID ASHWORTH & MURALISMO, & WILL SPROTT OF THE MUMLERS @ GREAT AMERICAN MUSIC HALL

HELLO!

last minute reminder for tonight's show at the great american music hall!

if you're keeping track, it's the first official seaweedsway show there, & my first official collaboration w/ loving cup (justin davis). LITTLE WINGS, SALT MINDS, MARK DAVID ASHWORTH & MURALISMO, & WILL SPROTT OF THE MUMLERS + BOB THAYER OF RAD CLOUD DJ'ING -what???!!!

it should be a pretty mellow night overall; but you never know with these folks, little wings could break out a freestyle rap that will blow your mind & get you dancing like you never knew how. actually that is highly likely. important: doors are at 8, and will sprott of the mumlers starts at 8:30. he's so good that it's worth making an effort to be there for his set, seriously. & anyone who arrives before mark david ashworth & muralismo's set gets a free download of their latest album. see? we even have incentive items for early arrival! (they go second, so may as well catch will's set too, & enjoy the whole night). salt minds will be featuring sean kae of dearest, mariee sioux, & jeff manson tonight. they're one of my new favorites too. dance between sets to tunes spun by dj of the night bob thayer of rad cloud. the essential details are here: http://bit.ly/aug26rsvp & tix are here: http://www.gamhtickets.com/events/160694/Little%20Wings & hope you are there! oh, & this show is a good way to celebrate the end of mercury retrograde + the approach of the new moon! community event!

a list of lots o' september shows i'm helping with are below...

for those interested in yoga, i teach a weekly saturday gentle yoga class, 10:45am-12pm. it's only $10 to make it accessible to the community, & all levels are welcome...  this sunday will be the last restorative yoga class on that day/time, 6:30-8pm at the loft, also $10 & all levels. :) as it's switching to monday nights starting the 2nd week in september, 7:30-9pm. http://theloftsf.com

here are stories & pathways to songs for the bands playing tonight:

LITTLE WINGS
Little Wings was formed in San Luis Obisbo, CA, and the music of Little Wings carries the landscape of its place of origin like clouds carry water vapor, to release it in a myriad of forms over a changing landscape. Little wings is a project that revolves around frontman and songwriter Kyle Field, sometimes with drummer Adam Selzer, keyboardist Rob Kieswetter, bassist Mark Leece, and others. His debut album, Discover Worlds of Wonder , was released in 1999 by Walking Records and later in 2000 by K Records. It has been called "a dreamy, balladic tribute to the surreal aspects of the contemporary Californian landscape." Little Wings followed up this first release with The Wonder City and Wonderue to complete their Wonder Trilogy, consisting of three albums released on K and Knw-Yr-Own Records. In 2003, Little Wings released Harvest Joy , followed by Magic Wand in 2004 and Glow in 2005. He released Soft Pow'r in 2007. Kyle Field has played with the likes of Grandaddy, Lee Baggett, and Devendra Banhart, and is also a talented visual artist. A book of his drawings was published by the label Ahornfelder.

SALT MINDS
"Salt Minds Sounds like the last sequoia being turned into a tunnel through which to drive your car. Also it costs ten dollars every time you pass through the tree."
-Roger Waters

hi everyone!
thanks to all who made it to the 7 year anniversary show for seaweedsway last thursday, & thanks to those who came out sunday too. so nice to celebrate with you all!

show highlights this week:

today is the full thunder moon! thus we are premiering a new chasing the moon episode. matt bauer's chasing the moon episode will open the night for sean hayes & fpodbpod at the new parish!! doors @ 8, chasing the moon starts at 9. right off the 19th st. BART stop in oakland. IMPORTANT: 50 tickets have just been released but once they're gone they're gone! so get a ticket now if you plan on coming... http://bit.ly/kMoGNy

poster by jeff milton, surfer babes on acid

this weekend is ammmazing as well - saturday & sunday are seaweedsway shows - are you ready??

SATURDAY is Quinn DeVeaux & the Blue Beat Review's big cd release show at the independent. the Mumlers are co-headlining!! you can hear some of quinn's songs here: http://soundcloud.com/seaweedsway - his songs have been making my day! the album, Under Covers, & is a completely joyous experience. here's quinn's chasing the moon episode to get a sense of how much fun you'll have hearing him live: http://chasingthemoon.pdcst.com/2009/09/quinn/ the mumlers will be getting the dance party started... this video of their song "coffin factory" gives you a sense of their sound & sense of humor (maybe?): http://youtu.be/1oaWJN2doRk tickets are here: http://bit.ly/quinntix


SUNDAY!! is the monthly seaweedsway showcase at the make-out room! Masuga, Miwa, & Moomaw (no kidding)... This is gonna be a really neat & sweet show, a gathering of three friends, whose names coincidentally sound really good together, playing their collections of stories through song. A mid-summer's dream. Miwa Gemini (acoustic/indie/folk/western swing) is traveling through on tour, from Brooklyn, NY; Moomaw (psychadelic country) moved away from the Bay Area to LA recently, so this is a reunion of sorts; & Ed Masuga (folk/blues/country/alt) is an east bay-er trekking to SF to blow us away with his fingerpicking song-writing genius. Good luck will come to all who attend. 7:30 doors, 8-11 songs. The show will be interspersed with Jeremy & the Absurdists interactive entertainment (last month, they became robots trying to understand the human emotion of love). only $7!


in yoga news- i'm teaching a gentle yoga series on thursdays in august, 6-7:30, at the loft. 321 divisadero st. @ page. all levels are welcome, seriously. you can sign up & find out more here! http://theloftsf.com if you can't make the whole series, drop-ins are welcome, or it's $50 for 4 weeks. i also teach gentle yoga saturdays 10:45am-12pm, $10 community class. & most sundays, restorative, 6:30-8pm. 

if you didn't get to read it last week, i'd love for you to peruse this interview i did with Emily Savage for SF Weekly: http://blogs.sfweekly.com/shookdown/2011/07/promoting_bands_in_sf_a_how-to.php

Sean Hayes
Sean Hayes’ old-time, folk roots still show through at times, but now they’re brushing up against a soul vibe that simmers slowly to a boil on his latest release, Run Wolves Run. Over the last decade, his six full-length albums reveal this evolution of sound. Poetic, sensual and surreal, the lyrics are equal part to the rhythm, beat and melody. For this show, Hayes will be joined by Ezra Lipp on drums and Eric Kuhn on everything else.
This July 14th show is one of only two performances this summer. Hayes is currently at work on a new album.

FpodBpod
The brainchild of San Francisco's Sean Olmstead, fpodbpod is founded upon the principal tenet that pop music should be catchy while intriguing but always fun to listen to. Bringing an eclectic mix of influences--from the Kinks to Kraftwerk to Jonathan Richman to Gershwin--into the songs, fpodbpod re-contextualizes principles of soul, psychedelia and garage rock. Much the way that the Velvet Underground borrowed elements of soul and old school rock and roll, fpodbpod reminds us that POP is the common thread between all these styles of music we know and love.

While the recordings are historically a one-man operation, with Olmstead writing, performing and recording all the parts, fpodbpod's live shows often borrow the talents of local favorites such as Os Beaches' Joe Lewis and Joe Miller, Will Halsey of Ash Reiter's band, the Blank Tapes' Matt Adams and Steve Winchell, Indianna Hale, and many others.

Fpodbpod's catchy, thoughtful rhythms; quirky, memorable--and sometimes unexpected--lyrics, and heartfelt energized delivery will lead you to the dance floor and temporarily ease your troubles, or at least allow you to boogie with them.

Matt Bauer's Chasing the Moon
To open the night, we are premiering Matt Bauer's episode of Chasing the Moon on the night of the full thunder moon. 

After writing an entire album centered on the unsolved 1968 murder of a girl near his childhood home (2008’s The Island Moved in the Storm), Matt Bauer has again turned to the subject of his native Kentucky with The Jessamine County Book of the Living (Crossbill Records), a record that is an intimate, personal, and often fantastical interpretation of the natural world.

Along with Bauer’s unique banjo melodies, played in a style that owes as much to Indonesian gamelan as it does to the music of Appalachia, the album boasts nearly 20 guest musicians from his current home of Brooklyn and his former home, San Francisco. Among them are frequent collaborator Jolie Holland, Angel Deradoorian (Dirty Projectors), Mariee Sioux, Jay and Alex Foote (Sufjan Stevens, Welcome Wagon), and a ten piece orchestra of strings, brass, woodwinds, vibraphone and chimes.

As the past two episodes show, Chasing the Moon is branching out now to include artists outside of the Bay Area, though Matt lived in SF for some time.
