The Baths
http://www.myspace.com/baths
“This Bay Area quartet plays ’60s rock ‘n’ roll with lush vocal harmonies, folk-rock guitar-play and a twinge of Big Star proto-punk.
The Baths are a reverb-loving crew, ending and beginning “Be Afraid of Me” with guitar static. On top of its jangly paisley-rock, the Baths sing cryptic, literal lyrics about “death and dying,” as guitarist-vocalist Jeremy Cox explains via e-mail, which follow narratives of the strange and demonic. They also cover idols like the Gories and the Stooges, infusing their music with a raw 21st century power.” -Michelle Broder Van Dyke, SF Gate

Ty Segull
http://www.myspace.com/tysegall
Burying ’60s sing-alongs and dance crazes beneath waves of reverb and giddy thud, Ty Segall carved out his own shelf in the neo-psych garage alongside SF compatriots and collaborators Sic Alps and Thee Oh Sees. As an exploration of the space between Cro-Magnon fuzz and atmospheric acoustic psych, Ty Segall continues to crank out the best new garage rock from San Francisco. -

Fresh and Onlys
http://www.myspace.com/thefreshonlys
The Fresh & Onlys shambles barefoot through Summer of Love-style guitar and tambourine jams, strewing lyrical oddities and flower garlands along the path that leads, if not to where Syd Barrett lives, at least to Dan Treacy’s neighborhood [Dusted Review]
The Fresh & Onlys formed just last year in San Francisco, but they already boast more music to their name than most bands manage in twice that time. Over the course of a flurry of 7″s, a limited-edition cassette, and two full-length albums– last spring’s self-titled and now Grey-Eyed Girls– you can hear the sound of a young band busily honing in on what they’re good at. In case you weren’t tipped off by their almost distractingly evocative band name (should we be thinking of the Only Ones, or the Young Fresh Fellows?), the Fresh & Onlys traffic in jangly garage-pop, balancing psych-rock swagger with generous dollops of sweetly cockeyed melody. [Pitchfork]

Thee Oh Sees
Live music w/ Thee Oh Sees
When: Wed Mar 10
Time: 8pm
Cost: $7
Details Thee Oh Sees
http://www.myspace.com/ohsees
San Francisco’s John Dwyer used to push primitive blues-rock to ultraraucous extremes in Coachwhips. His current band, Thee Oh Sees (formerly OCS), also draws on vintage styles—woozy ’50s-style pop, Troggs-like stomp—but it funnels them into something hushed and pervasively eerie. Sucks Blood brims with oddities like “What the Driven Drink,” in which Dwyer and Brigid Dawson croon like teen lovers at the soda fountain, even as weird wisps of sculpted static drift by. “The Gouger” juxtaposes cryptically ominous lyrics with pillowy, old-timey reverb and a twinkling guitar lead. Many a savage punk has gone tame with age, but that evolution rarely has this kind of intoxicating power. — Hank Shteamer

LaTiDo
Live music w/ Edgardo & LaTiDo
When: Sun Mar 7
Time: 3pm door; 4pm music
Cost: $5—special March price!!!
Details
Salsa on a Sunday returns with Bay Area favorite Edgardo Cambon (of Candela!) with his quintet LaTiDo!!!! Join us for dancing on the patio (weather permitting), margaritas, and good people! Doors open @ 3pm, music starts at 4pm, fun is 24/7!!!
LiTiDo
http://www.myspace.com/latidoson
“LaTiDo” is the Spanish word for heartbeat. “LaTiDo” is a quartet that specializes in danceable traditional Cuban music styles like “Son,” “Cha-cha-cha,” “Guajira,” “Mambo,” and “Bolero” among others. In spite of their brief existence (since 2003) this explosive quartet has garnered a great reputation throughout the Bay Area among dancers and listeners alike, having performed to sold out audiences at re-known venues like Yoshi’s, Yerba Buena Gardens, San Francisco Jazz Festival, Stanford Jazz Concert Series, San José Jazz Festival and Sonoma Jazz Festival to mention a few. “LaTiDo’s” music takes us back in time, invites us to dance, and it is equally enjoyed by the more laid back listener. Close intricate vocal harmonies, the rhythm pulse of the Bongó drum and Bass, the unique sound of the traditional Tres Guitar (a three double set string instrument developed in Cuba) the Flute and the lively compositions are surely to please every audience. “LaTiDo” plays Latin Music from the heart.

Fiction Like Candy
Her flair for the dramatic swirls through the music ambitiously, yet the drama now seems more honest, the sentiment sweeter and more vulnerable. The most recent incarnation of Fiction Like Candy is a little less fiction, a little more candy. And it will still leave you craving more…

Ambient singer songwritery folk. “She’s Got Pipes.”-SF Bay Guardian
Chantelle has played with Chris Pureka, and Andrea Gibson, . She has also gotten the chance to work with Chuck Prophet on her album “No One’s Believer.” She has been featured in CRAFT Magazine, Fluffy Co, Commonwealth Commercial, and on NBC’s “Trauma.”
When Chantelle was 12 she bought her first folk cd. It was Joan Baez Greatest Hits and she got it for “Diamonds and Rust.” She has had music in her ever since then. “I can remember my mom walking home and the package was addressed to her. I opened it knowing I would get in trouble, but when she saw me singing she just kind of let it be.”
Chantelle began to sing and started writing music. At the age of 20 she picked up the guitar. “The guitar was really the missing piece for me.” She has been playing in San Francisco, the Northwest, Los Angeles and around the country since then.

The Illness brings a new sound to the progressive rock world. The classic foundations are there; complexity, energy, and power. Fueled by the amalgamation of distinct talents the band shatters the conventional rock template. Comprised of veterans of San Francisco’s diverse music scene, the Illness creates a new sensibility in a genre that has a history of abuse. Viscous rhythms flow freely into focused streams of guitars to burn a hole in tradition and give any punk, metalhead or prog-rocker a moment of pause. Don’t worry about catching The Illness; chances are you already have it.
