BFF hits the city, Thee Oh Sees host Blonde Redhead for two nights
July 13, 2009
The 9th Annual Bike Film Festival is sweeping the country this summer with only the best taste in entertainment: bringing some of the sexiest music as well as cycling-related art and films, of course, spread across the city this week.
“BIKES ROCK!” is Tuesday and Wednesday night with Blonde Redhead — yes, you heard right — with Thee Oh Sees at the Independent, tickets still on sale ($25). Blonde Redhead, who sing in the same fine languages as some of the finest bicycle welders, are more than appropriate to headline with a local hosts as impressive as Thee Oh Sees.

Thee Oh Sees – “Ruby Go Home”
Bay Areans should know that Thee Oh Sees have a handful of shows in the city up through the second week of August, then will embark on a US/Canada tour with The Fresh & Onlys, coming home in late October.
Also showing on Thursday from 6-10pm and through the weekend are two exhibits at Ever Gold Gallery and Market St. Gallery, featuring the work of a range of NYC artists, including the infamous Mike Giant.
A special note for East Bayers: it’s common knowledge that Bay Area bike polo in the industrial Oakland landscape is a serious enterprise, making perfect sense that the BFF is holding their first tournament at the reputable spot on Sunday to close up the fest. See their website for a complete schedule of the San Francisco and Oakland events.
