There’s a genuine intimacy at Bottom of the Hill. The kitchen, outdoor smoking patio and back room fireplace make for a cozy enough experience, but when the band you’re waiting to see is walking through the audience and watching the opening acts perform, the walls between artists and fans are broken and a degree of [...]

Whoever thinks that the era of great British rock bands is over has probably never witnessed a show by the British band The Darkness. After a five-year break, the just reunited band performed at the Fillmore in San Francisco on Tuesday the 21st, and I am not exaggerating when I say that they completely rocked [...]

As promised in last week’s installment of “Weekend at the SFS,” I will be reviewing Edo de Waart’s performance at Davies Hall on Friday the 17th, where I had the luxury to be in attendance.

Originally inspired by new wave and ’70s punk, this Leeds band is back from a three-year hiatus with a darker, more guitar-heavy sound on its latest North American-only release, Start The Revolution Without Me. ESSENTIAL LISTENING: “Every Day I Love You Less and Less” was the Kaiser Chiefs‘ first track on its 2005 debut album, [...]

Since 2008, the Harlem-born and raised dance geek Azealia Banks has been making smooth, layered beats paired with unforgiving, filthy, yet thoughtful utterances. Formerly classmates with Nicki Minaj at the LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts –aka the “Fame” High School– Banks traded in her leggings (or maybe just paired them [...]

![Los Campesinos! Rock the Great American Music Hall [Review]](http://blog.eventseekr.com/wp-content/themes/flashnews/functions/thumb.php?src=wp-content/uploads/2012/02/309-5-e1329352031912.jpg&w=75&h=75&zc=1&q=90)
The most fascinating characteristic about Los Campesinos! has got to be the fact that everything about the band feels very personable. From the outside looking in, it feels like with seven members, the band stops being just a band, and more like a family. I mean, sure, all members refer their surname as being Campesinos!, [...]

Today is Valentine’s Day, and your thoughts may well be turning to love, whether you’re in the warm flush of new love, the comfort of a long-term relationship, or free, single and out on the prowl.
