Ralph Carney Gets UpRock: Super Cool Video

Posted By on Fri, Apr 8, 2011 at 3:00 PM

San Francisco loves Ralph Carney, as you probably know. He's a Tom Waits sideman, uncle to a Black Key, and a frequent collaborator with le jazz hot cult leaders Gaucho and therefore totally a municipal treasure. He makes his own instruments, and he is always hungry and thirsty for more music and doodads.

We found this video on his Facebook feed, via Nicole Hinck -- and what what? Is "uprock" the new "mashup?" Kinda looks like it, with Z Trip and Whipper Whip's "All About the Music" layered over some fancy footwork of the kind they don't make anymore. So get to work. But first, fall hard in love:

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
