9/16/2005: Fried Day.

Yee haw! Friday's here!

Want to catch some tunes? Of course you do silly.
Here's a quick little list of the Showiest picks from
tonight on into next week. I'm headin' out to the good
ol' east coast for a few days so if you go to some
grooves be sure to get down extra low for me.

CHEERS! -Josh Clark.

|||||| FRIDAY 9/16 ||||||

Karl Denson's Tiny Universe @ Great American Music
Hall $25
Thursday & Friday shows (I'll be there Thursday!)
Unstoppable, relentless, funky, nasty, groovy sax
machine Karl D is back and on the attack! He's the
best damn funky jazz saxamaphonist I've ever heard and
you should not miss the opportunity to catch him at
one of SF's best historic venues. Come ready for the
funk and ready to dance your feet off. Percussionists
the African Showboyz direct from the country of their
namesake open it up.

Spam All Stars @ Café du Nord $15
A new-school live/electro band out of Miami, these
guys blend improv electronica and turntablism with a
live horn section to make a Latin/funk/hip-hop/dub
sound that’s totally unique.

Vinyl @ Boom Boom Room $12
Always a good time, these veteran Latin groovers are
funkin’ up the Boom Boom Room tonight. Bump Foundation
opens it up.

|||||| SATURDAY 9/17 ||||||

Banyan @ 12 Galaxies $15
This is a unique, polished punk/jazz super group
collaboration featuring members of no less than Jane’s
Addiction, Wilco, Ratdog, and the Minutemen. Word is
they may be even better than their respective main
projects, I’ll leave that up to you.

Catch ‘em!

|||||| THURSDAY 9/22 ||||||

Warsaw @ Grant & Green $5?
Skank it up kids! Warsaw is a kick-ass
trombone-fronted ska band that’ll bring out the
high-steppin’ rude boy in you. What more do ya need
for a Thursday night?
