Issue 257: sinful flavor

It's traditional this time of year to reflect on sin and redemption — cleaning up old messes, renewal, leavened bread products, etc. Take, for example, Southern Gothic minister Woven Hand, a Christian who grapples with his own beliefs — and who plays tomorrow in the Mission. But here in San Francisco, the consensus is to heed the little devil sitting on your shoulder and indulge yourself, like the naughty nuns in Damned If You Don't and Black Narcissus. Whatever your pleasure, be it a trash-TV marathon, taking a peek at the hanky-panky that goes on behind closed doors in Japan, or old standby rock 'n roll with the world's most celebrated guitar-wielding sinners, Led Zeppelin, there's ample opportunity to delight in your bad self. If you're conflicted, join the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence's annual Easter-in-drag picnic while doing a little good with your other hand. Revel and repent — in whichever order you choose — and spread it...

- Lisa Hix, Managing Editor

PERFORMANCE
Trannyshack: As Seen on TV

when: Tue 4.3 (10pm)
where: The Stud (399 9th St, 415.252.7883) map
price: $7
links: Event Info

Sure, it's a weekly event, but the institution that is Trannyshack continues to blow minds, genders, and whoever else looks appetizing in the mirror tacked above the Stud's urinal. This week the lusciously lascivious ladies take on America's favorite pastime: trash TV. This being Trannyshack, expect more heel-related falls than America's Next Top Model, more panting suitors than I Love New York, and cut-downs that would make Simon Cowell blush. Given her filthy mouth, hostess Pollo del Mar would get booted off Mo'Nique's Charm School for sure, but her shape-hugging frocks would definitely earn Tim Gunn's seal of approval. (MS)

LECTURE
Midori: Pink Japan

when: Wed 4.4 (7:30pm)
where: Center for Sex and Culture (398 11th St, 415.255.1155) map
price: $20
links: Event Info | Midori

From vending machines that dispense school girls' panties to the tentacle-rape fantasies found in certain anime, sexuality in contemporary Japanese culture is often painted as a garden of perverted delights in which the most extreme expressions of desire spring up amidst a society built largely on the self-suppression of the individual. Midori, an educator and columnist specializing in kink, takes a less Mondo Cane (1962) approach for this discussion of sex in Japan, elucidating us on what the rest of the population — and not just the perverts (God bless 'em) — are up to between the sheets. (MS)

  Which 1969 album features a version of "More," the theme song from Mondo Cane? The first three randomly drawn correct responses each win a pair of tickets to this show. Entries close 6pm PST on Tue 4.3.



LECTURE
Tony Oursler

when: Wed 4.4 (7:30pm)
where: San Francisco Art Institute (800 Chestnut St, Lecture Hall, 415.771.7020) map
price:
links: Event Info | Tony Oursler

Tony Oursler's unsettling anthropomorphic mixed-media sculptures — videos of eyes, mouths, and faces projected onto vaguely anatomic forms — look like children's toys designed by David Cronenberg and mouth off like irate drunks. The one-time Sonic Youth collaborator has recently carried over his aesthetic to painting, where melting eyes stare imploringly out from monochrome puddles of goo. Like the mirrors that reveal a ghost's reflection alongside our own at the end of Disneyland's Haunted Mansion ride, Oursler's characters immediately involves us — whether by staring us down or hailing us with their noisy chorale — in the unstable narratives and disintegrating psyches they stage. (MS)



MUSIC: Familyre Rock
Woven Hand

when: Wed 4.4 (9pm)
where: 12 Galaxies (2565 Mission St, 415.970.9777) map
price: $12 / $10 advance
links: Event Info | Woven Hand

Woven Hand is David Eugene Edwards, and his music is possibly even creepier, more conflicted, and more forlorn than that of his equally impressive doom-country outfit 16 Horsepower. Edwards taps into a Southern Gothic mainline, delivering his ruminations on sin and salvation with the weathered authority and blinkeredness of a Flannery O'Connor protagonist against instrumentation soured and slowed to a dirge-like crawl. More John Donne than Pedro the Lion, Edwards creates music that testifies to his struggles with faith; a weary journey on which even nonbelievers will be willing to accompany him, if only for a song's duration. (MS)

Note: The Dodos and Matt Bauer open.



MUSIC: French Pop
Les Sans Culottes w/ CarneyBall Johnson

when: Wed 4.4 (9:30pm)
where: Hemlock Tavern (1131 Polk St, 415.923.0923) map
price: $7
links: Event Info | Les Sans Culottes | CarneyBall Johnson

Much like our own Persephone's Bees, Brooklyn's Les San Culottes (that's French for "going commando") glean their inspiration from saucy '60s French pop stars like Serge Gainsbourg, Jacques Dutronc, and Jacques Brel. Three cabaret vocalists — Clermont Ferrand, Kit Kat le Noir, and Celine Dijon — preen and croon in French to a raucous garage band, creating a zany party energy surpassing anything experienced in the Love Shack. Openers CarneyBall Johnson — featuring multi-instrumentalist and beloved Bay Area eccentric Ralph Carney (who also plays horns for Tom Waits) — warm up the crowds with their delightfully silly soup of psych pop, blues, hillbilly folk, avant-garde jazz, and world music. (LH)



ALSO ON WED

MUSIC: Post-Waitsian
Man Man
Wed 4.4 (8pm) The Independent (628 Divisadero St, 415.771.1421) map $13

Event Info
 
Man Man roll into town like a traveling band of pirates chanting shanties, or a troupe of vagabonds singing songs of the rails, or a roving bunch of gypsies providing musical accompaniment for a dusty circus — or maybe all three. (LT)

Note: A Pack of Wolves and Port O' Brien open.

  What unusual objects have Man Man been known to vomit up on stage? The first randomly drawn correct response receives a pair of tickets to this show. Entries close 6pm PST on Tue 4.3.

ART
Kevin E. Taylor: The Rorschach Test

when: Thur 4.5 (7-11pm)
where: The Shooting Gallery (839 Larkin St, 415.931.8035) map
price:
links: Event Info | Kevin E. Taylor

One person's trash is another's art project. Kevin Taylor bought a pack of 50 Japanese and Chinese flash cards for five bucks at a sidewalk sale and turned them into original pieces of art. Taylor underwent a self-administered psychological evaluation of sorts, spilling coffee over the cards and interpreting the variously shaped stains that remained over English, hiragana, and hanzi through line drawings. The result is tonight's one-night exhibition — a series of images that are made graceful, shocking, or comical by their corresponding words. (BMS)



FILM
The Song Remains the Same (1976)

when: Thur 4.5 (7:30pm)
where: YBCA Screening Room (701 Mission St at 3rd) map
price: $8
links: Event Info

Aussie cock-rockers Wolfmother have taken to covering Zeppelin's "Communication Breakdown" as part of their live sets, but the effect is more bar-band rave-up than the kind of epic, quasi-mystical swagger Page, Plant, and Co. could summon on an arena stage. This documentary of a Madison Square Garden concert delivers said swagger in spades, and makes Zepp's greatness seem less like the product of rockism or the patina of history. Bizarre and goofy personal fantasy narratives are intercut with footage of the band doing what it does best: rocking the fuck out. Your only option is surrender. (MS)

  What's the most irritating hit song of the moment and why? Our two favorite responses in 50 words or less each win a pair of tickets to this event. Entries close 6pm PST on Tue 4.3.



MUSIC: Electric Americana
Richard Swift & Sons of National Freedom w/ David Vandervelde & the Moonstation House Band

when: Thur 4.5 (8pm)
where: Rickshaw Stop (155 Fell St, 415.861.2011) map
price: $10
links: Event Info | Richard Swift | David Vandervelde

With their Midwestern roots and penchant for swooning harmonies, Richard Swift and David Vandervelde seem like throwbacks to the barefoot-goes-electric late '60s/early '70s. But they're more than mere retro acts — the Secretly Canadian tour mates arrive in SF fresh from wiping the disaffected scowls off the faces of even the most jaded critics at SXSW with their virtuosic musicianship. The dovetail fit of their respective styles — Swift's eccentric, Tin Pan Alley-inspired brand of folk, and Vandervelde's Marc Bolan-inspired vocals and arena-sized rock 'n roll raunch — make this bill greater than the sum of its parts. These guys are sure to give your Zippo a workout. (JMS)

Note: Peter Walker also opens.



FILM: Double Feature
Damned If You Don't (1987) & Black Narcissus (1947)

when: Thur 4.5 (8:30pm) & Sun 4.8 (2pm)
where: Phyllis Wattis Theater, SFMOMA (151 3rd St, 415.357.4130) map
price: $7
links: Event Info

Shot 40 years apart, tonight's films are part of SFMOMA's Fidelity and Betrayal series, which explores the notion of the remake. This afternoon's theme is temptation, that age-old interplay of innocence and awakening, repression and eroticism. Black Narcissus follows a group of British nuns establishing an order in the Himalayas amid a suspicious and inhospitable local community. When the head sister becomes attracted to the sexy, haughty local government agent, it endangers all of their piety and stability. Damned If You Don't picks up the female lust thread, peering into an isolated convent where a sultry young lesbian seduces a shy nun. (BMS)

  What's the last catch-22 you've been in? Our favorite response in 50 words or less wins a pair of tickets to this event. Entries close 6pm PST on Tue 4.3



ALSO ON THUR

READING
Yael Goldstein: Overture & Jane Hirshfield: After
Thur 4.5 (7pm) Bookshop West Portal (80 West Portal Ave, 415.564.8080) map

Event Info
 
First-time writer Yael Goldstein tugs at emotional strings with his reading from Overture, a violin virtuoso's story of breaking the cycle of mother-daughter strife within the competitive (and passive-aggressive) world of classical music. (IB)



MUSIC: Folk
Richard Buckner
Thur 4.5 (9pm) Café Du Nord (2170 Market St, 415.861.5016) map $15 / $13 advance

Event Info
 
Richard Buckner moseys into town armed with six melancholy strings and a brushed-steel baritone to match. Gather your dear ones for a haunting evening with this country-folk troubadour. (TW)

Note: Six Parts Seven open.

  Who's the most underrated folk singer and why? Our favorite response in 50 words or less wins a pair of tickets to this event. Entries close 6pm PST on Tue 4.3.

ART
Naked Mountain Magic

when: Fri 4.6 (8pm)
where: Space Gallery (1141 Polk St, 415.377.3325) map
price:
links: Event Info | William Noguera | Brenda Nakahara

San Quentin death-row inmate William Noguera found his salvation through realistic pen-and-ink pointillism, creating images that, from a distance, could pass as photographic collage. His work is a highlight in Naked Mountain Magic at Space Gallery, a group show that has Noguera's stark, black-and-white work sharing wallspace with explosions of color, surrealist sculpture, and child-like doodles from Mission and Oakland artists like Color Wars, Will Barclift, Brendan Nakahara, and Jessie Jackson. Running with the Bay Area eclecticism theme, DJ Sodapop of the esteemed Anticon Collective and Aspect McCarthy of the Shotgun Wedding Quintet provide the grooves, and Wildlife, Apache, and Mr. Divisadero rock out with punk of the disco and garage varieties. (LH)



MUSIC: Indie Rock
Cass McCombs

when: Fri 4.6 (9:30pm)
where: Hemlock Tavern (1131 Polk St, 415.923.0923) map
price: $10
links: Event Info

Yeah yeah, Cass McCombs sometimes sounds like the Velvet Underground and a slew of other staples of the indie canon — the Cure, the Smiths, etc. But how 'bout those rockabilly bits, huh? Sure, a lot of people who think "genre-hopping" is a positive descriptor throw it around when describing McCombs. But he's got his own thing going — a kind of textured but spare shoegaze crooner shtick that feels at once heartfelt and staged (in a good way). When he does channel the ghosts of indie past, he still adds his own stamp, be it a clever lyric, a whimsical little keyboard line, or a fuzzed-out guitar haze. (GM)

Note: Arbouretum and David Karsten Daniels open.



ALSO ON FRI

MUSIC: Indie Pop
Mew
Fri 4.6 (9pm) The Fillmore (1805 Geary Blvd, 415.346.6000) map $23

Event Info
 
Denmark's dreamy indie trio (newly downsized from a quartet) produces expansive songs that reference Hum's lush melodies while retaining a sweetly pop-electronic edge. (CH)

Note: Oh No! Oh My! open.

  Which neighborhood outside of Copenhagen does Mew come from? The first randomly drawn correct response receives a pair of tickets to this show. Entries close 6pm PST on Tue 4.3.

DISCUSSION: Architecture
BLDGBLOG and Chronicle Books

when: Sat 4.7 (2:30-5pm)
where: California College of the Arts (1111 8th St, 415.551.9210) map
price:
links: Event Info

BLDGBLOG's founding editor Geoff Manaugh has pulled together a group of speakers as comprehensive and engaging as his design blog. This interdisciplinary conversation on architecture and landscape unites people from various, sometimes surprising, backgrounds. Walter Murch, film editor and sound mixer for pictures like Apocalypse Now (1979) and the Godfather trilogy, presents original research on how Rome's Pantheon influenced Copernicus, while author Erik Davis explores mysticism and spirituality in our architectural landscapes. Architect Lisa Iwomoto's show-and-tell displays her firm's newest technologies along with digital models for housing projects, and Rebar Group founders John Bela and Matthew Passmore discuss collaborative and public design such as their COMMONspace project. (BMS)



MUSIC: Power Pop
Hellogoodbye

when: Sat 4.7 (7:30pm)
where: The Warfield (982 Market St, 415.421.TIXS) map
price: $20
links: Event Info | Hellogoodbye

For lovers of pop as light and fluffy as clouds, you won't reach more heavenly heights than Huntington Beach's Hellogoodbye — that is to say, the aerobics-style keyboards, disco punk riffs, and the effete teen-idol singing are so perfectly executed, they seem to float through your head like the cheeriest of John Hughes movies. For all you Reagan-haters, Hellogoodbye is just as gifted at crafting superb and chipper '60s pop in the vein of "It's Getting Better All the Time." You won't know what hit you because tonight's show will be as soft as a cloud. (LH)



DJ
Bodycode w/ Sleazemore

when: Sat 4.7 (9pm)
where: Rx Gallery (132 Eddy St, 415.474.7973) map
price: $8-10
links: Event Info | Bodycode | Sleazemore

Basking in rapturous praise from electronic music circles, Ghostly International's dance-minded sister label, Spectral Sound, has sent a few of its star DJs across North America recently, dubbing the tours "residencies." In the wake of Matthew Dear's recent San Francisco trip, Lisbon-based Alan Abrahams comes to tear up the floor under his current moniker, Bodycode. More dance-oriented than Abraham's turn as Portable, Bodycode nevertheless embraces the dark side of the beat, creating music that's as murky as it is ecstatically danceable. Local artist Sleazemore opens the evening. (JK)



ALSO ON SAT

ART: Opening
Caleb Neelon and Ben Woodward: Childs Prey
Sat 4.7 (1pm) White Walls Gallery (835 Larkin St, 415.931.1500) map

Event Info
 
In Childs Prey, Caleb Neelon and Ben Woodard's paintings presents surreal alternative universes and slightly off-kilter storybook landscapes populated with strange animals. (LH)

Note: This exhibit runs through Sat 4.28 (Tue-Sat: 12-7pm).



MUSIC: Indie Rock
The Frames
Sat 4.7 (9pm) The Fillmore (1805 Geary Blvd, 415.346.6000) map $20

Event Info
 
As loved by some in Ireland than U2, the Frames inject their folk pop with so much urgency and earnest yearning, that it crackles with life. Glen Hansard's fragile singing and finger-picking is illuminated with shimmering strings and thundering drums to create a big country sound à la Calexico. (LH)

Note: The Submarines open.

  The submarine models built for Das Boot (1981) were also used for which other film? The first randomly drawn correct response receives a pair of tickets to this show. Entries close 6pm PST on Tue 4.3.



MUSIC: Soulshakin' Rock
Black Fiction w/ Antelope
Sat 4.7 (10pm) Hemlock Tavern (1131 Polk St, 415.923.0923) map $7

Event Info
 
Mission weirdos Black Fiction aren't afraid to toss fragments of dub and noise into a tumultuous and thrilling post-rock gumbo. Antelope's stripped-down but tightly wound punk sets the mood. (TW)

Note: The Fucking Ocean also open.

CITY GEM
Night of the Living Easter: The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence's 28th Anniversary Celebration

when: Sun 4.8 (10am-4pm)
where: Dolores Park (Dolores St btwn 18th & 20th Sts, 510.420.0813) map
price:
links: Event Info

Innocuous bunnies and fluffy baby chicks are far too banal for a San Francisco Easter. The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, long a colorful fixture in the city's events calendar, ring in the spring with their annual sassy, secular celebration that highlights some of SF's finest outdoor traditions: picnicking (and drinking) in Dolores Park, ruckus-making, and al fresco dance parties. But it's not all hedonistic bliss — the event also recognizes the local nonprofits and organizations that the Sisters have funded over the past year and encourages all partygoers to consider donating in the name of both indulgence and the greater good. (CH)



CITY GEM
BYOBW 6: Bring Your Own Big Wheel 2007

when: Sun 4.8 (4pm)
where: Lombard Street (Lombard St & Hyde St) map
price:
links: Event Info

For years, the residents of Lombard Street have suffered through countless indignities — processionals of exhaust-spewing tourist-driven cars slowly crawling past their front windows, puckish crews of MTV reality show casts, and now this: an armada of plastic tricycles and animated riders skidding and careening down the hill, shrubbery and inattentive crowds be damned. Part performance art and part contact sport, the annual event has spent six Easter Sundays cultivating a dedicated pack of spectators, costumed teams of madcap downhill racers, and traditions, including handmade prizes from founder Jon Brumit. (CH)

MUSIC: Spazz Apocalypse
Lightning Bolt w/ XBXRX

when: Mon 4.9 (9pm)
where: Lobot Gallery (1800 Campbell St, Oakland, 510.798.6566) map
price: $7
links: Event Info | Lightning Bolt | XBXRX

Drum and bass spazz-metal duo Lightning Bolt sound like a never-ending prog guitar solo played at quadruple speed with Han Bennink or Rashied Ali pounding the traps underneath. XBXRX, who started terrorizing eardrums while still in high school, are really a demolition crew posing as a spastic punk outfit. Both groups are known for chaotic live shows that result in feedback loops of energy between themselves and the audience so intense that they threaten to short circuit the entire venue. With the two juggernauts on the same bill, the results are nothing short of the Ragnarok itself. (MS)

Note: Deathroes and Bug Sized Mind also open.

price: $16.50-33
links: Event Info

One of Hollywood's greatest character actors, Delroy Lindo has spent a significant chunk of his celebrated career on stage. He turns to directing with this play, the latest from acclaimed young playwright Tanya Barfield. The play centers on Lewis, an African-American professor whose marriage and professional life begin to crumble after he refuses to attend the landmark Million Man March. Trying to grapple with his current state of turmoil, Lewis becomes haunted by visions of his ancestors, forcing him to face the inextricable link between his past, present, and future. (JK)

  YOURSPACE: uber.com  

After an obsessive first few days and a flurry of late-night excursions to find all your Exes, most social sites start to lose their lustre. Combatting this problem, uber is the latest (and some rave, the greatest) community networking site to hit the surf. With a hub tailored to the user, uber aims to be your one-stop social circuit — combining elements of everything from MySpace to dating sites. It also features a slew of new features, like multimedia archiving and categories and easy access to art, music, style. It even features a "Ten by Ten" list within each of the categories offering a crash course in what and who you need to know. Though comparisons to that other mammoth social-networking hub are inevitable, uber is its own scene: a network created for the true creatives in the online social networking set. (JH)



 


  CD REVIEW: Busdriver, RoadKillOvercoat  

Epitaph
Released January 2007
$13.99 (Insound)

There's nothing harder than delivering a bus full of out-of-control adolescents safely to school; it takes a minor mean streak and an unshakable, semipsychotic sense of self. Appropriate, then, that hip-hop pariah Busdriver's RoadKillOvercoat wheels violently onto the road, preemptively slaying cynicism with a "don't-give-a-shit" attitude. Of course, even embracing avant-leaning weirdness, it's still the hyperliterate hip-hopper's most accessible effort ever. Following lyrically adventurous opener "Casting Agents and Call Girls," "Less Yes's, More No's" bends the nasal MC's super-speedy keen around the acid-drenched production of DJ Nobody, who then wonks it up later with carnivalesque electro romps ("Kill Your Employer") and sunny psychedelic cuts ("Sun Shower"). RoadKillOvercoat is an unpredictable ride — full of curves, strange stops, and angsty intrusions — but, ultimately, one that bumps you up to the flagpole intact, in plenty of time to make first period. (AP)


 


  STREAMS: BBC Collective
