Hear this: Best Coast at The Fillmore

Given where you currently reside, you are somewhat contractually obliged to support and enjoy bands that are inspired by — and frequently sing about — California. It's a rule specific to us — like standing in line for hyped-up food, or having burritos as our go-to drunk food. Based on that logic, enjoying Best Coast should be a no-brainer, especially since the group's latest album, the somewhat unsurprisingly titled California Nights, is all about the special mix of beauty and grit that our home state offers. Musically, it's a bit of a departure from what Best Coast has given us before, but Bethany Cosentino's charisma remains intact and the dreaminess that has permeated all three of the duo's albums is present and accounted for.

  • 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.'"
