TEAM REPULSION: the weekend in shows

hopefully this [ TEAM REPULSION ] will become a weekly feature of this blog, spawned every wednesday, highlighting spartan picks of gospels round de' bay. IT is called TEAM REPULSION cos most folks in SF seem bummed on going to shows. well, here anything goes so long's it's in line with belly laughs, heartworms, and erections. so basically the real produce, keep it W I E R D.
links to bands posted at the bottom.

WEDNESDAY 5/14/08

the DODOS, free @ Amoeba, 6pm.

FRIDAY 5/16/08:

Benoit Delbecq, François Houle, Frédéric St-Hillaire @ Swissnex, 730 Montgomery St, San Francisco.

i have no idea what all the francaize is about but it was on the Zum calendar and they know what's good and swole and @ a venue i've never heard of here in our rapidly vanishing beyond-bar scene. looks like free form arrangements w/ video

LATER THAT NIGHT...



these dudes will likely be spinning space jamz ala kraut, mutant disco, psych etc...



SATURDAY 5/17/08



i just heard the Bike Kitchen was raided by the ATF on friday? and cops were doling out citations to kids drinking outside so i'm not 100% sure this is still on but i hope so cos CLIPD BEAKS used to live in the bay and tore it up at Hemlock last halloween and CRIME NOVELS is Ellery from now broken up old SF sweets THE MALL. it's centrally located so just show up anyway and see...


XBXRX, Triclops!, Surrender, Swann Danger @ 924 Gilman, Berkeley



the mighy XBXRX return in their umpteen incarnation @ Gilman, along w/ fellow bay vets SWANN DANGER who i've had the pleasure of sharing stages with. i've lived here 5years and never been to Gilman. maybe that'll change sat...

ALSO

Curse of the Birthmark, High Castle, Schwule @ Undisclosed Location, SF





CURSE OF THE BIRTHMARK include member[s] of SF's own now sadly defunct FUCKWOLF and are equally fucked up in a different vibe. HIGH CASTLE channel the spirit plane of Liliput with classic gnar-fi, also from SF. this show is in a basement in visitacion valley, one of the sickest spots for shows in the city but much under the snout of johnny law to keep alive...get at me for the address.
