Three ladies from NYC called "Au Revoir Simone" (their name is a quote from "Peewee's Big Adventure")... sort of a Strawberry Switchblade for the 00's... think Bananarama meets Kraftwerk (their songs remind me a lot of Blondie as well)...

        Au Revoir Simone has played in San Francisco a couple times already this year. But this Friday August 24 will be the first time they have HEADLINED the bill. Bottom Of The Hill, top of the bill.

        I'm going! Who else wants to? David & Jessie? Anyone?...

          Darn...wish we could! Sadly, we must plan things far in advance to line up proper babysitting.

          Tell us how the show goes, Ferrara!

            I wish we could, too. Hmmmph.

            On a related-but-not-all-that-related note, do you know about the Bananarama reunion?

              Well, it's only two of them, not Siobhan... and having watched a video by the reunited duo, I am sorry to say they shoulda stayed broken up (my god was it awful)...

                Yeah, that's most often the case, isn't it?

                  hey aren't the Slits coming to SF again a second time? (or did that already happen?)...

                  the Go-Go's are coming to the Mezzanine in SF in October I think... I saw them a couple times in the 90s and they were still good then...

                    The Go-Gos played in Santa Rosa a while back and we even missed that, but I did hear some gossip about Belinda showing up plastered up a local hair salon and barking orders at everybody.

                    Not sure about the Slits. I'll see if I can find out.

                        I'm reminded of something Belinda said in a promo video for one of her early 90s albums (I saw it when I was working at Tower Records back then). She was being interviewed and she was talking about her pets: dogs and horses mostly... and just before they cut from the interview to the music she said "I wanna get a pig". I always thought that would be a good line to sample in one of my audio works...
