Blonde Redhead, Thee Oh Sees, (day 1 ) @ The Independent
With two dates at The Independent, there is no reason to miss the amazing Blonde Redhead w/ the previously highlighted Thee Oh Sees. If you are not familiar with Blonde Redhead, we envy you -- you got an unusually solid discography to brush up on before next week's shows.
Tickets are a little steep at $25 + TM fees, but remember that you can always save some dough by buying them directly from The Independent box office. Be sure to get tickets soon, as both dates are sure to sell out. Officially sold out :(

Casy and Brian, no babies, Boys IV Men, The Press Fire, Awesomes @ Thee Parkside
Thee Parkside has a sweet mostly local show with Casy and Brian, no babies, Boys IV Men, The Press Fire and Awesomes.
Along with Oakland's stellar Religious Girls, the locally buzzed Casy and Brian are helping to define an updated basement-friendly Bay Area scene. It’s a sound that at times feels like SFs version of the excellent shit coming out of LA’s institution The Smell.
Drum heavy and with clear punk/dancehall roots, the duo bumps out sporadic jams that will make you want to move. It’s raw, minimalist and certainly not for everyone, but be sure to give them a listen. As mentioned, the bill is rounded out with a few other local and non-local acts with a similar take on this vibe (also real excited for Boys IV Men). Should be a great show.
