Hear Them Roar

This is how we like our feminism: Thee Merry Widows is a five-lady psycho-horrorbilly band. Strength and self-determination are written all over The Devil's Outlaws, the Widows' latest CD, which sings the praises of witches and Aileen Wuornos. But these women don't fit the stereotype of hippie man-haters, not by a long shot, even if they're kinda into some of the same stuff. In fact, their leather bustiers, fishnet stockings, and lacquered hairdos would horrify your standard baby boomer. Still, for those who love both pinup girls and girl power, this Cramps-inspired gang is totally yummy, with its stand-up bass, rock guitars, and power-femme lead singer.

The Hooks and the Disciples open.

  • 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.'"
