| Fri Aug 22 They draw freely from the old school and the old world, but The Waybacks are no throwback. They've been erroneously pigeonholed as a bluegrass band and celebrated as purveyors of "acoustic mayhem." They are as uninhibited and unpredictable as the ecl... More | |
| Sat Aug 23 - Sun Aug 24 There's no danger of mistaking the Waifs' broad Strine for anything other than Aussie, as the Simpson sisters deliver their tales of home and heartland - and of missing them - over the infectious amalgam of country, roots and folk. There's a heft of... More | |

 | Thu Aug 28 "Hailed as 'almost impossibly majestic and beautiful' (NPR), Shearwater's Palo Santo (2007, Matador), a suite of ethereal but oddly disquieting art-rock songs loosely centered around the life and death of singer Christa Paffgen (aka Nico), marked the... More |

| Sun Sep 21 The Wedding Present have had eighteen UK Top 40 hit singles… not bad for a band that has, from its inception, stubbornly refused to play the record industry's game. That was back in 1985 when David Lewis Gedge boarded a National Express coach in Lond... More | |

| About Great American Music Hall (GAMH) San Francisco's oldest and grandest nightclub, the Great American Music Hall carries guests back to an earlier, more elegant era, with its ornate balconies, soaring marble columns and elaborate ceiling frescoes. Long-time customers and newcomers alike feel at home in the 5,000-square-foot concert hall that symbolized renewal and optimism when it opened in 1907. Today, a professional sound and lighting system, two full bars, a modern kitchen and a spacious oak dance floor help to blend contemporary quality with turn-of-the-century graciousness. |

Editorial Review  Supergrass An Interview with Bassist Micky Quinn By Roger Thomasson (02/17/2006)" Every band has its mythology. As a budding folk guitarist, punk icon Joe Strummer adopted the moniker of his unlikely hero -- Woody Guthrie. Richey James, lyricist for the Manic Street Preachers, has been mysteriously missing since 1995. And Gaz Coombes, the front-man for Supergrass, needed his Mom to co-sign his first record deal at the tender age of 16. " |
Editorial Review  Hold Steady at GAMH, 10/18 By Roger Thomasson (10/07/2005)" The retro-centric obsession steering our culture can often make it difficult to avoid the numbing effect of familiarity. Listen to a modern rock station, and you are likely to hear a NEW new-wave band back to back with an OLD new-wave band. Needless to say, those not up on their Rolling Stone and Spin would be hard pressed to tell the difference. This is not a general criticism -- a good song is a good song no matter when it was produced, and there is certainly much to love and mimic from decades past. However, if historical "references" become too encompassing and too plagiaristic, we risk cultural stagnation. " |
Editorial Review  Feist at Great American Music Hall, 9/17 Canadian Chanteuse with an Indie Twist By Ginevra Kirkland (09/09/2005)" Feist's roots can be seen in everything from Ella Fitzgerald to Burt Bacharach, combining immense vocal talent with a knack for understanding the fun in being today's reigning indie princess. Born Leslie Feist and hailing from the Great White North, reared in rock bands and inspired by turntablists, she's a rollicking good-time gal one minute and a pensive chanteuse the next. For fans of Broken Social Scene, Arcade Fire, and the other Canuck powerhouses, this is a show not to be missed. In case you needed to add another Canadian pop darling with impeccable taste to your list of essential artists, give her a listen at GAMH. " |
