Kristin Hersh at Bottom of the Hill

The strength and resonance of Kristin Hersh's vocals are matched only by her extraordinary lyrical-writing abilities. The magical combination of those two things is why Hersh has maintained such a long career, from her early days in the (eternally popular) Throwing Muses, through nine solo albums, as well as her 50 Foot Wave side-project. But perhaps most remarkably, Hersh has used her unique voice and point of view to author a memoir (Rat Girl), a children's book (Toby Snax), and has even created an interactive app for kids. Yes, this Rhode Island native is a busy lady, so be sure to catch her while you can — especially in a venue as intimate at Bottom of the Hill. It's sure to be a special evening.

  • 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.'"
