Delta Delta Delta tho
So many new shows being announced I felt compelled to share.
Where I’ll Be
Sat 7/31 — Jacques Greene at a Secret Warehouse Location
My second-to-last pre-pandemic show was seeing Jacques Greene play an incredible set at Starline Social Club. Excited to see him again.
Fri 8/13 — SNBRN at 1015 Folsom
Got pretty into him during the pandemic, with some help from Jess and some fun Twitch DJ sets too. Missed him at the mint pre-pandemic, so rectifying that now.
Sat 8/21 — Sébastien Léger and Verlk at Audio
Verlk has been playing solid sets for awhile, and Sebastien Leger played an excellent Cercle set, so I figured this was worth it.
Conflicts and considerations
Fri 7/23 — warner case at The Broadway Club (Walnut Creek)
He's an up and coming producer and I got hooked on his track doyouwannabemine? when it came out, but even that can't get me all the way out to Walnut Creek for this set.
Fri 7/30 — Maya Jane Coles at 1015 Folsom
I skipped seeing her the last time I had tickets to see her and heard she played an excellent show. But I am not up for b2b nights this soon.
Fri 8/6 — Jeremy Olander at Public Works
Saw him at an open to close set at Great Northern in 2019. It was a good time, but a little too chill for me to want to go again.
Sat 8/7 — KiNK and Femmelectric at Public Works
This show will have a great vibe, but I won't be around.
Sat 8/7 — Anthony Attalla at Audio
Saw him at the Toolroom SF Mint party, and he was excellent and fun.
Sun 8/8 — The Knocks at the Phoenix Hotel
Pool party with the Knocks is almost more fun than a boat party with the Knocks. They put on an excellent show, but I don't need to see them again.
Sat 8/14 — Totally Extinct Enormous Dinosaurs, Roosevelt, and M.Bootyspoon at the Great Northern
For an event called a Club Called Rhonda, put on by "LA's pansexual party palace", this lineup and that tagline makes this show very tempting.
Tue 8/17 — Small Black at The Independent
A fun postrock band that I saw many years ago at a street festival in Chicago.
Fri 8/20 — J. Worra at Audio
She has some really fun tracks, I got into her during the pandemic as well.
Sun 8/22 — Will Clarke at the Phoenix Hotel
Pool party with Will Clarke very nearly hops over my post-pandemic impulse bar, but not quite.

I've been waiting for him to make it out here. Getting a ticket to this!
Fri 10/22 — Shallou and Robotaki at the Fox Theater
Fri 10/22 — Franc Moody at 1015 Folsom
Maybe not just announced but really, don't miss this.
Sat 10/23 — Dom Dolla at The Midway
Fri 10/29 — Sonny Fodera at The Midway
After that
Fri 11/5 — Booka Shade at Great Northern
Also getting tickets to this because yes.
Fri 11/26 — Bonobo (dj set) at The Midway
Mon 12/20 — Jeff Rosenstock at GAMH
Tue 3/8 — Chet Faker at The Warfield
Put on a great show as Nick Murphy at The Fillmore. He's gone back to Chet Faker for all of his music now.
Thu 3/31 — Clairo at the Fox Theater
Other notes
Wed 7/28 – Thu 7/29 — Gray Area is hosting another iteration of its Modular Synthesizer Workshop, which I recommend. A friend of mine took it and was kind enough to share some of what he learned with me.
Recent releases
The new SAULT album is great.
Lane 8 did a track with AFI's Davey Havok because sure why not. It's good.
Parra for Cuva's new album is out, and it's a great groove for work or for relaxing.
Much like the new Muni trains before they can be put in service, I feel like most of the new tracks being released lately require a bit of a burn in period before they really stick with me. Appreciating the tracks that capture my attention for multiple days more as a result.

Still haven't had much time for reading, or podcast listening lately. Big oof.
