Must see music for March 24th - 29th


   Excuses for Skipping has a whole field to skip in but they're just sitting there!

MARCH 24th
Bishop Allen- 8 p.m. at the Rickshaw Stop (155 Fell St.), San Francisco, CA
Light, breezy guitar, cute sounding vocals and whip smart lyrics are what this duo does best. You've seen them in movies and heard them in 'Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist.' Why not see and hear them live?

MARCH 25th
My First Earthquake - 9 p.m. at The Knockout (3223 Mission st.), San Francisco, CA
They sound like something off your original Nintendo, if your Nintendo was a four piece band that featured a female vocalist.

MARCH 26th
Vitamin Party - 10 p.m. at Grant & Green Saloon (1371 Grant Ave.), San Francisco, CA
This group is punk rock on large quantities of caffeine. Expect atonal vocals, oft humorous lyrics, and guitar playing that showcases both clean, energetic melodies and loud, fuzzy noise.

MARCH 27th

Starf**ker - 10 p.m. at Lobot Gallery (1800 W. Campbell st.), Oakland, CA
Starf**ker uses synthesizer chords and electronic drum beats to form catchy bases for their songs. Male and female voices speak or sing over the attention grabbing hooks for an intriguing sound that will have you wanting to dance all night long.

MARCH 28th
Lumerians - 9 p.m. at the Elbo Room (647 Valencia ave.), San Francisco, CA
When the Lumerians play, their music washes over you in waves of wandering synth, intermittent vocals, and cautious guitar riffs. Their work is beautiful and hypnotic.

MARCH 29th
Excuses for Skipping - 8 p.m. at Cafe du Nord (2170 Market st.), San Francisco, CA
Melodic art rock with a spacious, trancey sound and a lead singer with a super powerful voice that might just blast you into another dimension.
