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. :)

IL GATO, INDIE-FOLK-ROCK BAND, NEEDS MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST
Hello, local SF band, il gato (http://www.ilgato.com), are in need of a multi-instrumentalist who can play trumpet/flugelhorn and an additional instrument, ideally one of the following:  Piano, Guitar, Accordion, Banjo, etc.

We are a serious band with a good track record, grand aspirations, and are looking for a talented musician who shares our aspirations and the associated commitments and wants to be a part of an on-going creative project. We all sing, we help write songs and we want this to be an awesome experience. We intend to record our next album in the Fall and tour in 2012. You would be signing up for both of these work-intensive activities. Please contact us at gato@ilgato.com if you are interested in collaborating!

PRACTICE SPACE AVAILABLE AT SECRET STUDIOS
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
