Sonic Youth... And Some Other Stuff If You Didn't Already Get Your Ticket
Where does the time go? Seems like only yesterday when I did my last show preview when, in reality, it was over a week and approaching two. Time flies when you’re having, um, fun. Whether or not you’re having fun right now, you will be. When you attend one of the following amazing shows:

Tonight, you have two options:
Go see some great Sabbath inspired stoner metal (in the vein of the Bay’s own High on Fire) at Slim’s, courtesy of Austin’s The Sword. For $11, you’ll also enjoy (hopefully) the Saviours and Akimbo.
Or, let the Flying Luttenbachers’ “punk jazz/free death/no wave” do whatever that sort of music does to you (make you bang your head, dance around like a maniac, stand in the back pushing the earplugs in as far as they’ll go, etc.). What with the fact that Mick Barr of Orthrelm, Octis, et al. is playing guitar now, this should be a stellar pick. It’ll be sort of like angry free jazz with a shotgun. (p.s. if anyone wants to go let me know, as I’m thinking about it, even though I probably shouldn’t but probably will if anyone else expresses interest). Your $7 also enables you to check out Zs and The Sword & Sandal (which is either (1) an Italian movie, (2) an Italian movie that John Dwyer (Coachwhips, OCS, et al.) stars in, or (3) a band that Dwyer likely plays in).

Hmmm… Still Flying proves that a bunch of indie-rockers can make reggae at 12 Galaxies.
At Café du Nord, you can see Citay get all 70’s rock on you, featuring Tim Green of The Fucking Champs and Ezra Feinberg of Piano Magic and (apparently) a shit ton of other folks on stage too. They are opening for The Dilettantes, which features Joel from Brian Jonestown Massacre, for what it’s worth.
My pick for Thursday is over at Annie’s Social Club for hardcore-punk aggression with LA's 400 Blows, experimental-jazz-meets-heavy-something aggression with Oxbow and the jazz-meets-metal aggression of The Mass. Aggression… Yeah, this show’ll be good.

Everyone should be at Sonic Youth at the Fillmore. What’s that? You didn’t get a ticket either? Yeah, it’s sold out. What were we all thinking? Well, we can either head over to the Fillmore and scope out the ticket situation, or we can head over to the 12 Galaxies and see NOLA’s Quintron and Miss Pussycat drop electro-swamp-boogie and dance like we’re retarded. Because that’s the only way to dance to Quintron.

Caught Sonic Youth last night and pissed that you missed Quintron? No worries. Just head over to 21 Grand in Oakland, where they’re playing again. Score you. For those of us who had to settle for Quintron instead of Sonic Youth, I suggest:
POREST (who also plays with Mono Pause and Neung Phak) will be doing some weird sound tomfoolery at the Hemlock. His website says: “For hundreds of years, Oakland, California's POREST (aka Mark Gergis) has exploited reckless composition, performance and worldwide documentation via multi-instrumentation, field recordings, perverse cut-uppers, dirty bomb audio downers and whatever else gets in the way.” That’s probably as good of an idea of what to expect as I can give you.

Mother-fucking Cannibal Ox at the Independent. Vast Aire and Vordul Mega. Was “The Cold Vein” the best hip hop album of 2001? I can’t decide that for you, but it’s up there. At least if you like your hip hop raw and gritty and produced by El-P instead of made for the radio and produced by the good Dr. Has it really been that long since they dropped it? Um, I suppose so. Did Cannibal Ox cancel the show I bought advance tickets for in London? Yes. Did I ever get my money back? Fuck Ticketweb’s UK division (they never refunded a Darkest Hour show that got cancelled as well). Oh, how much did the Cannibal Ox show in London cost? Let’s see 5 or 6 quid, so like $9 or $10. How much is the show here? It’s $18. Shit, dude. I know. But it could be fucking dope.
