Location Info

Karl Denson

Spirited openers Chali 2na and House of Vibe will help the crowd step into Denson's giant sonic world on Saturday, Feb. 12, at the Fillmore. 9 p.m. $25; www.thefillmore.com.

Watching Karl Denson's Tiny Universe perform feels like an optical and auditory illusion: You can't help but ponder how the sax of bandleader and former Lenny Kravitz affiliate Denson melds so thoroughly with Chris Littlefield's trumpet that both seem like one seamless instrument. That surprising synthesis is testament to the clean and tight sound put out by this six-piece San Diego funk group. Denson also has a warm, booming voice that soars on songs like "Brother's Keeper," from the band's recent album of the same name.

  • 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.'"
