King City
Toshio Hirano
Sunday @ The Rite Spot
8:00 pm $5.00
2099 Folsom St @ 17th
www.ritespotcafe.net
KING CITY is a five piece Ragtime/Tango/Latin/Alcohol, Instumentally
based cause for liver testing. Fronted by local guitar Guru and
Bohisattva Rich Morin, (Osgood Slaughter, Breakout, The Other, The
Big Meat Combo...Etc) The RAM 3, as a band, are the result of an
instrumental recording that Rich wrote, recorded and sent to his
father in the Phillipeans as a form of a audio journal that
chronicled the 10 years previous that he'd spent playing music in
San Francisco. The band is mainly comprised of the musicians that
played on those rarely heard or even known about recordings.
Strangely, it consists of local Punk and Metal musicians. Boz
Rivera (R.K.L., The Mad Caddies) dominates the the polyrythmic rag-
swing/Latin based drumming, Joe Raposo (R.K.L.) plays the B'jesus
outta the stand up Bass, Chris Rest (Lagwagon, R.K.L.) holds the
solid steady harmonic ground of second guitar, and Chewy Marzolo
(Hammers of Misfortune, Pantz Noyzee, Breakout) plays kitchen
utinsels, guitar, and the dregs from the land of unwanted toys. A
seemingly strange conglomeration of personalities that all congeal
to weave in an out of D'jango Rienhart meets Spike Jones
instumentals and land 3 points on a dime.
TOSHIO HIRANO was born in Tokyo in the 1950's. Postwar Japan embraced
everything American, including American popular music. As a teenager
he became interested in bluegrass and country music. One of his
first loves was the great John Duffy and The Country Gentleman. He
later became inspired by the Mississippi legend, Jimmie Rodgers.
Toshio learned to play banjo, guitar and mandolin and started a
family band with his brother and cousin, called The Sunny Bluegrass
Boys. He continued playing music through college and then emigrated
to the USA to pursue his love of this music. He has lived in
Atlanta, Nashville, Minneapolis and Austin, Texas. San Francisco has
been his home since 1986 and he plays regularly in cafes and bars
around town. The deep romantic nature of country music, its' tales
of trains and cowboys and broken hearts continues to sustain
Toshio's imagination and art.

songwriter showcase
8:00 pm
with Liana Allday (Madera Road), Justin Frahm (This Union Standard)
and TBA
LIANA ALLDAY can't finish a song in one sitting. Somewhere in the
gray area between indecisivness and A.D.D. is a trapdoor that she
falls through right after completing a verse. Lucky for you the
songs are all written by the time you come to see her play. Liana
Allday will say Carol King if you say Linda Ronstadt. She will say
Leonard Cohen if you say Rod McKuen. She will say Mark David Chapman
if you say Sirhan Sirhan. Liana Allday was a pole in The
Damnwrights. She is a corner in Madera Road. Come see her as a free
radical.

Justin Frahm (This Union Standard--vocals, guitar, songwriting) writes many songs about telephones and automobiles and cites his main influences as The Cure, Hank Ballard, Leonard Cohen, John Denver, International Submarine Band, and AM 580 CKWW--Southwest Ontario's premiere oldies station. Justin still owns a telephone but sold his car to his brother for $1 before leaving Detroit. He never received the dollar.

$7.00
"If you’ve ever had any doubt that it’s darkest before dawn, you will know for sure this spring with the release of Summer at Shatter Creek’s new album, All The Answers. Craig Gurwich’s one-man band is back with a second album under the Summer at Shatter Creek moniker, bringing you nine new songs of staggering genius; sketches of victory and failure stretched out like shadows over a slowly aging face. All The Answers is a soundtrack to the horrific beauty of disaster. As yet another generation leaves adolescence and innocence behind in a blaze of pain and destruction, the renewal of what we could be is summed up in a search for All The Answers from Summer At Shatter Creek."

"Each member of the Ebb and Flow strikes an intriguing figure on stage: frontman Sam Tsitrin does double-time on guitar and vocals, drummer Sara Cassetti drives the rhythm section, and Roshy Kheshti commands an impressive array of Moog keyboards and synths. Together the three create their own cohesive, yet musically diverse, take on indie rock. The result is enthralling, and you're nearly guaranteed to lose yourself in their jazzy improv jams more than once during the show."

"... then there was that crash dream, the one where the train carrying Mazzy Star jumped the tracks and merged with the covered wagon filled with The Breeders and Patsy Cline and then Bermuda Triangle Service tripped along & took away parts of the wreckage on their pirate ship that sailed the old west sands all the way to Hawaii."
