Armed with a cadre of infectiously good times, the Afrolicious bunch are a jolly force to be reckoned with. The outfit is a multi-talented, party-starting machine with multiple permutations and a mission to make you sweat to funky, outernational rhythms. Could it be anything else? I mean, the masterminds behind the DJ Crew / Live Band / Club Night are named Pleasuremaker and Senor Oz. If those names don’t conjure up wildly magical nights filled with dancing, mystical beings and fantastic journeys to far-off places, then you probably need to read some books. Or at the very least, take a listen to what they do. Always a joyous occasion, always an adventure, always a hot, sweaty mess of a dance party, the Afrolicious gang never disappoints. So let the Pleasuremaker and Senor Oz take you by the hand as you skip merrily down the Yellow Brick Road to Femi Kuti’s … Read more ›

Sometimes, you just sit back, watch and marvel at the wonder some people are able to bring to the world….
Aside from having one of the coolest websites ever and ridiculously successful globe-trotting party, Audiofly also run a label called Supernature…here’s what they have to say about themselves….
“Music is what feelings sound like.”Is it true that the truth is out there?We want to believe! (And to be quite honest, we find your lack of faith disturbing)Running, jumping, climbing trees, fighting kung-fu- in our minds… Lying around in the shade and swotting flies. All from the comfort of the studio chair.Full moon affected , perpendicular people, who will never lie down to EU law and give up a Siesta or 3. Flying the flag for a more caribean way of life in Europe.”
has there ever been a more perfect description of…..well…anything?!?!

The Bug, aka King Midas Sound aka Techno Animal/Ice/God (with Justin Broadrick of Godflesh/Jesu), aka Razor X Productions (with The Rootsman & various M.C’s), aka Pressure, aka Ladybug…..you starting to get the idea. The man know as Kevin Martin is a prolific man to say the least. All his projects draw heavily from Dub and Bass music cultures, especially “The Bug.” With a dystopian aesthetic and a penchant for deep, dark mind-states, The Bug provides the soundtrack to a post-apocalyptic urban culture-clash. It’s fitting that The Bug returns to San Francisco for Future|Perfect, the Bay’s own dystopic, armageddon-ready club night at Public Works
The Bug plays at Public Works Thursday 3/21 for Future|Perfect

Unspeakable Projects & Roll Up Gallery present:
See You at The Show / The Show / Afterparty
A group show about music fandom and performance
Opening at Roll Up Gallery (Public Works) and Unspeakable Projects March/April 2013
See You at The Show explores the visual language of fandom and band worship, the experience of performance from a fan’s perspective and what happens when the show is over.
From Ray Borchers’ sharpie-on-t-shirt portraits of cult band crushes to Rose Eken’s linocut prints of rock and roll detritus, See You at The Show documents the spontaneous and obsessive moments where fine art and fan art meet.
The exhibition will unfold as a three-part group show and will alternate openings at both venues in March and April.
Works by:
Matt Momchilov
Rose Eken
Chris Thorson
Jason Fritz
Ray Borchers
Kara Joslyn
