All phases of the Who's first glorious decade from 1964-1974 are covered, from their time as a hitless London club band to their reign as big-time arena rockers. There's also their rise to stardom as equipment smashing pop-art icons; their expansion into psychedelia and rock operas with the phenomenal popularity of Tommy; and their entry into sophisticated stadium setups and synthesizers in the Quadrophenia era. This event is presented in conjunction with Unterberger's new book Won't Get Fooled Again: The Who from Lifehouse to Quadrophenia, and signed copies of the book will be available for purchase.<br /><br />Weds May 11th 8-10pm (doors @ 7)<br />Ninth St. Independent Film Center<br />SF CA 94104<br />Admission is FREEjonbhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02964669307980569969noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-636590357687002036.post-29901099503897641122011-02-23T19:45:00.000-08:002011-02-24T10:16:37.747-08:00SAVE KUSF screening A HISTORY LESSON Part 1<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPlxwxUWayUeBalkVOqGWJE5bxftZvvwrIRVWPm9vfvOzHYnnDqMG92kf3yRz-U0yIv4TdIabmndZEwc1IocgsDnhyphenhyphensMB0bDFzbcQw3JooDDH3ND1I5Ts5dqrfAUq7E2cGdz9_Z0xRiCHH/s1600/38264_142193589141694_142126369148416_320600_2616661_n.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPlxwxUWayUeBalkVOqGWJE5bxftZvvwrIRVWPm9vfvOzHYnnDqMG92kf3yRz-U0yIv4TdIabmndZEwc1IocgsDnhyphenhyphensMB0bDFzbcQw3JooDDH3ND1I5Ts5dqrfAUq7E2cGdz9_Z0xRiCHH/s400/38264_142193589141694_142126369148416_320600_2616661_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577099345194694386" border="0"></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqZiJLXJOzUGTpDLyUyV6jOZHqWfgD-nvR5uo_bG_IRGZ_e7AxWXQ_5QVItaHjKVAmC93v2XrZj_t4Sc0VkJzixNuWRrX3DugRJS8UGxRG7_MRlgRBR3vVg5Ep63_TJUaZdD1Zc8XZniBL/s1600/kusf-500x375.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqZiJLXJOzUGTpDLyUyV6jOZHqWfgD-nvR5uo_bG_IRGZ_e7AxWXQ_5QVItaHjKVAmC93v2XrZj_t4Sc0VkJzixNuWRrX3DugRJS8UGxRG7_MRlgRBR3vVg5Ep63_TJUaZdD1Zc8XZniBL/s400/kusf-500x375.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577098078484480162" border="0"></a><br /><br />http://www.ahistorylesson.com/A_History_Lesson/A_History_Lesson.html<br /><br />Come show your support for our beloved college radio station.

In “A History Lesson Part 1, Travis presents live footage filmed in the spring of 1984 featuring the Meat Puppets, Minutemen, Twisted Roots and Redd Kross interspersed with interviews of members from each group which examines and puts a perspective on the early years of “psychedelic” punk rock in Los Angeles and Phoenix, AZ. Each song by each group is presented from start to finish.<br /><br />Ninth st.

Nov. 17th<br /><br />Wheedle’s Groove is a feature documentary about Seattle’s long-lost soul and funk music scene of the 1960s and 70s. With commentary by Seattle notable music figures like Quincy Jones, Sir Mix-A-Lot, Mark Arm (Mudhoney), Ben Gibbard (Death Cab For Cutie), Ben Shepherd (Soundgarden), Kim Warnick (The Fastbacks) and Kenny G, and using interview footage, archival materials, original music, and live performances, the film paints a picture of a thriving and vibrant music scene centered around the city’s small African-American population.<br /><br />Due to a century of housing discrimination in Seattle, 1972 saw 80% of the city’s black population living in a four square mile neighborhood called the Central District, or the C.D. Despite the neighborhood being a product of racism, black-owned businesses, black culture, and black music thrived in the C.D. Groups like Black on White Affair, The Soul Swingers, and Cold, Bold & Together played on the local black radio station KYAC and packed clubs every night of the week. Many of the groups started to receive widespread attention with invitations to perform on national television and to collaborate with mainstream acts. Many were given breaks by Seattle native Quincy Jones, who had become almost a messiah-like figure to local musicians. But just as many of the groups were on the verge of breaking out, the fickle public turned its ear from funk to disco, and Seattle’s soul and funk scene slipped into obscurity.<br /><br />By 2001, Seattle was known for grunge music, Microsoft, and coffee. There seemed to be nothing left of a Seattle soul music scene until local record collector DJ Mr. Supreme found a dusty Black on White Affair 45 called ‘Bold Soul Sister’ in a 99 cent bin at a Seattle Center record show. By 2003 he had a rough impression of a once-thriving scene and a hefty collection of Seattle soul and funk 45s, some of which were beginning to fetch upwards of $2000. Supreme approached local record label Light In The Attic with the idea of releasing a Seattle soul and funk compilation. Light In The Attic spent twelve months tracking down the artists and fleshing out the story of Seattle’s funky past, and the result was a CD compilation entitled Wheedle’s Groove. At the Wheedle’s Groove CD release party in August of 2004, a line of nostalgic 60-year-olds and funk-hungry 20-year-olds wrapped around the building as the musicians inside, now janitors and graphic designers and truck drivers, prepared to perform together for the first time in 30 years.<br /><br />The players paint a vivid scene of an incredible cultural explosion inside a community transformed by the black power movement. But as one musician after another had to turn away from music as a career, only a young Kenny G, after leaving the primarily black funk band that gave him his start, was able to rise to the level of success that everyone in the scene had dreamt of. Most had to radically alter their vision of how they would live their lives.<br /><br />Looking back, each player sees the one painful place where a decision or an event started them down a path away from music. A disagreement with a more well-known singing band that they were backing, a fight over a woman, a decision to pass up an opportunity to leave the band and tour with Curtis Mayfield all remain frozen in memory to be analyzed and rewound and analyzed again. That moment for one band was a misunderstanding-turned falling-out with Quincy Jones, who had been helping them out in Los Angeles. When asked to recall his part in the story, Quincy Jones remembered nothing.<br /><br />With the rediscovery of the music came write-ups in national magazines, world-wide distribution, and finally a sense of redemption.<br /><br /><br />WEDNESDAY November 17th Doors 7:30 Showtime @ 8pm<br />Ninth St. Independent Film Center<br />145 9th St. SF, CA 94103<br />$5<br /><br />http://www.wheedlesgroovemovie.com/<br />http://www.facebook.com/home.php?filter=lf#!/group.php?gid=185442822566<br />http://www.ninthstreet.org/jonbhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02964669307980569969noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-636590357687002036.post-76612052582700237432010-07-08T13:43:00.000-07:002010-07-08T14:01:31.548-07:00 Kidz Show: Movies * Music * Matinee Kimba'a Cave<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1d8pIELnoFUKGElALWCFzJiH4j9XzKREKhNbrO3Kbbq4h6lsG_aJklpiaJ9oY_1nDeAUoMjYq1eFSPeJukgHCgyEydAO1cBbgew12h681lTW0EW4L-yFyH5egOgyDOvIfunCmxUTxBzJl/s1600/kimba_july.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 328px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1d8pIELnoFUKGElALWCFzJiH4j9XzKREKhNbrO3Kbbq4h6lsG_aJklpiaJ9oY_1nDeAUoMjYq1eFSPeJukgHCgyEydAO1cBbgew12h681lTW0EW4L-yFyH5egOgyDOvIfunCmxUTxBzJl/s400/kimba_july.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491640701605006130" /></a><br /><br />Sunday July 25th<br />doors at 12:30<br />showtime 1:00-3:00pm <br />free parking on 9th st.<br />$3 kids<br />$5 adults<br /><br />curated by James Kimba Anderson<br /><br />Featuring Music by THE MONKEYBUTTS.

Magic Bus Movie Night is pleased to present an evening curated by underground filmmaker, Danny Plotnick. The evening will center around Plotnick’s 1996 Frankenstein of a rock film, I’m Not Fascinating—The Movie. Fascinating chronicles the pointless shenanigans of San Francisco rock 'n' roll ne'er-do-wells The Icky Boyfriends and their futile quest for rock stardom. Undaunted by the universal hatred of both their music and their look, the band perseveres, netting themselves a hefty major label contract. But stardom proves elusive as they descend into a world of murder, intrigue, nepotism, consumer research groups, excessive use of caffeine-laden soda pop and death. <br /><br />Upon its release, the SF Bay Guardian had this to say: "Move over Magical Mystery Tour, take a seat Tommy: San Francisco's Icky Boyfriends and Danny Plotnick have topped the semifictional rock-drama genre with their epic I'm Not Fascinating The Movie! A weirdly beautiful spectacle of self-defeat. An instant classic."<br />Fascinating, shot in glorious Kodachrome Super 8, was one of the last epic super 8 sound films to be made. Shortly after its release, Kodak discontinued sound super 8 film. Though no connection between these two events was ever established, one can’t help to wonder. Since being roundly ignored in their 90s heyday, The Ickys have posthumously gone on to be considered a seminal act in the no-fi, panic movement, and a career-spanning double cd retrospective, A Love Obscene was released earlier this decade.<br /><br />Also on the docket will be:<br />• Plotnick’s ode to 80s counterculture, Out Of Print<br />• A blistering super 8 sound film of the mighty Dream Syndicate performing That’s What You Always Say<br />• Burl Ives taking a gospel turn<br />• Les Paul and Mary Ford performing several songs, as well as providing BBQ tips.<br />• Natlija Vekic and Christian Bruno’s music video for local darlings Ramon & Jessica<br />• Plus several awesome country & western and juke joint performances.jonbhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02964669307980569969noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-636590357687002036.post-56908705339498001682009-08-18T18:36:00.001-07:002009-08-18T18:44:41.597-07:00A Skin Too Few: The Days of Nick Drake<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6igIvoaEM9ESWHdLySqSQWDvNsAu0JTcGzxirWHUCJ7chyphenhyphenc_bQxsIvxzEmaqs7iYMG6SAdcmcZ49mGo75ZAB9HGNBHVe-Ptvahb2_-F7_QX_en6tmPY7m0fbZvMPBIaPJtDvuy9VraPjN/s1600-h/nick_drake.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 260px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6igIvoaEM9ESWHdLySqSQWDvNsAu0JTcGzxirWHUCJ7chyphenhyphenc_bQxsIvxzEmaqs7iYMG6SAdcmcZ49mGo75ZAB9HGNBHVe-Ptvahb2_-F7_QX_en6tmPY7m0fbZvMPBIaPJtDvuy9VraPjN/s400/nick_drake.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371482906214353122" /></a><br /><br />Curated by : Henry S. Rosenthal<br />Thursday Aug. 27th<br /><br />A Skin too Few: The Days of Nick Drake<br />Nick Drake was an undisputed musical genius. His three albums Five Leaves Left, Bryter Later and Pink Moon contain a unique beauty which no other musician to this date has succeeded in copying. Although his work was not very successful while he was alive, today, more than thirty years after his passing, he is more "in" than ever. His songs are used in big movie productions; other musicians cover him; and his talent is frequently celebrated in festivals, books, commercials and on the Internet, etc. This beautiful featurette (50min) hauntingly explores his brief time on earth, his family, friends and musical legacy.<br /><br />Plays With: <br />Marilyn Manson Unreleased videos! Anti-Christ Super Star <br />and Cryptorchid both directed by E. Elias Merhige(Begotten) and produced by Henry S. Rosenthal who will speak to their behalf and treat us to never before seen<br />behind the scenes footage from the making of these two fine examples of damaged 16mm filmaking. Cameo by Texas Terri as the angel. <br /><br />Also: <br />Several more music videos that range from Iggy (live 1970) to IZ (hawaiian songster) and a special Michael Jackson: In his own defense pre-viral video.<br /><br />Thursday August 27th<br />9th St. Media Center<br />145 9th St.(btwn Mission and Howard) San Francisco 94103<br />Doors 7 movies at 8PM<br />$5jonbhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02964669307980569969noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-636590357687002036.post-59080121763318217282009-07-25T21:10:00.000-07:002009-07-25T21:14:22.008-07:00My Autumn's Done Come: The Lee Hazlewood Story<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifAIZBMDJ28DW_8P0KYqYW-QYXyvLFaTpVk_fZF2uuUoFxG6SK79ntqov83-MdeT5N8X3a789SkSt-fEvHV5EArWyM0NG5UJs-lNP05mGvCE0OFnNLFOV4NLibtv5OsZKGQGcLuWoF8nrk/s1600-h/lee_hazlewood.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 205px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifAIZBMDJ28DW_8P0KYqYW-QYXyvLFaTpVk_fZF2uuUoFxG6SK79ntqov83-MdeT5N8X3a789SkSt-fEvHV5EArWyM0NG5UJs-lNP05mGvCE0OFnNLFOV4NLibtv5OsZKGQGcLuWoF8nrk/s400/lee_hazlewood.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362616474692458498" /></a><br /><br />THURSDAY JULY 30th @ 9th St. <br /><br /><br />Lee Hazlewood is an American treasure, best know for his collaboration with and writing/producing Nancy Sinatras biggest hit, "These Boots are Made for Walkin'". He started out as a disc jockey in the 50's and quickly became a singer songwriter producer engineer throughout the 60's and 70's. Although far from being a household name, his influence is far reaching and many contemporary musicians cite his work and influence easily and with gusto. Many remakes of his songs by the likes of Vanilla Fudge, Lydia Lunch, Primal Scream, Megadeth, Einsturzende Neubauten etc. have secured his legacy forever in the rock world. His distinctive baritone added an ominous resonance to his music and his output during the late 60's into the early 70's have been praised as an essential influence in a sound described as "Cowboy Psychedelia". July 9th '09 would have been his 80th bday.<br /><br />This 70min. documentary or "bibliodoc" which is more of a well planned and beautifully executed compilation spans much of his career with amazing footage from his television specials, still photos, stock footage and narration from Lee's disembodied voice as well as guest narrater Boyd Rice. This has never been screened in San Francisco and will never be released officially. Enjoy.<br /><br />Plays with: <br /><br />Excerpts from A Cowboy in Sweden Lee's long forgotten early 70's Swedish television special. with a clip of Summer Wine with Nancy and a short film by the Nameless Spaniard!!<br /><br />Doors @ 7 Show @ 8pm <br />$5 admission<br />145 9th St. btwn.
