Washed Out’s recordings provide the perfect soundtrack to lose one’s self in deep thought. Its bedroom synthpop and chillwave sound is the type of music you might relax to while sitting at home, indecisively pondering your Friday evening plans. Conversely, when experiencing Washed Out live and in person, it is akin to the body-high you [...]

The Mezzanine show on April 6 was the third time I saw the hip-hop duo dead prez. The first time was at a “solar-powered hip-hop concert” at the Yerba Buena Gardens, where a young man gave me a Communist party pamphlet during the show. That was no coincidence, since the name dead prez is synonymous [...]

It’s been a busy week here in San Francisco. On Wednesday at the Yerba Buena Gardens, Apple unveiled its newest iPad to the world, and all week long the Game Developers Conference (GDC) has taken hold of not just the Moscone Center–its afterparties have taken over this city’s nightlife as well. Thursday night, Minecraft brought [...]

There’s no question that combining music and comedy is a difficult road, usually resulting in a not-funny-please-turn-around-dead-end. In the past, when I’ve heard comedy songs, I’ve thought, “How limiting.” I’ve been of the belief that a song will always be better as a song and a joke will always be better as a joke–to mix [...]

Like Coachella for music fans, or Sundance for filmgoers, Bay Area comedy enthusiasts have the SF Sketchfest to look forward to every year. In addition to the eclectic lineup of stand-up acts, tribute shows, live podcast tapings and inspired one-off collaborations, the festival is usually good for a reunion or two, which came this year [...]

On Sunday, Drink:Eat:Play’s Bay Area Cupcake Challenge filled the Mezzanine with a bevy of cupcake-crazed girls. (There were some guys there, but not many.) The hot accessory of the day? Tupperware. Anyone without a take-home box quickly felt like a fool, as there’s no way you’d be able to consume 26 heavily frosted cupcakes in [...]

Dubstep’s embryonic stages started in basement clubs in the United Kingdom about halfway through the 2000s. With characteristics consisting of varying amounts of bass, and varying amount of drum-beats (not anywhere near as intense as most dubstep is now), the music popularized therein had a very alien and robot sound. Dubstep has since morphed into [...]

DJ Mag ranked Boys Noize right at number 100 on their “Top 100 DJs of 2011.” As a big fan of Boys Noize, I find this unfathomable. I’ve maintained for some time now that dance music has taken over pop music in America these last few years. But sometimes, I forget that most listeners wouldn’t [...]

Yelle. Photo by Joey Pangilinan. Some nights when going to a show, you just have this feeling in your stomach that lets you know that the entire night will be this epic, sprawling adventure. Approaching the entrance of the Mezzanine last Saturday night, you could feel the energy just by looking at the [...]
