2010 Rock Make Street Festival Preview Mix (Podcast #227)
This Sunday, August 22nd, we’re pleased to present the third installment in our annual free, all ages Rock Make Street Festival, taking place on Treat Avenue and 18th Street from 11am-6pm. As we’ve been saying over the past few weeks, this year’s Rock Make is bigger and better than ever, with 100 arts and crafts vendors selling their wares, three stages of music and entertainment, a ton of great local indie bands, and, for the adults, a beer garden serving up some tasty brews.
To get you prepared for Rock Make (and Thursday night’s Rock Make pre-party at the Academy of Sciences), we’re pleased to offer this collection of songs featuring eleven of the bands performing on Sunday. More information about the many aspects of Sunday’s Rock Make fest can be found at RockMake.com.

Tonight: benefit for late Makh Daniels @ Thee Parkside
August 16, 2010
Last week, the local music community lost Makh Daniels (28), to a car accident on his return home from tour. Daniels was a longtime Bay Area resident involved in many music projects (the latest being metal band Early Graves), and also worked at The Rickshaw Stop up until his passing. A benefit show will take place tonight at Thee Parkside — on the bill, all local bands Daniels would call his family will play songs and share stories about his life, such as Magic Bullets, Comadre, Walken and Grayceon.
Daniels was in the latest issue of Decibel Magazine, in a feature about San Francisco bars and venues. This blog took the liberty of scanning the article in a post remembering Daniels. A PayPal account has been set up to take donations for his services, linked to the address ripMakhDaniels@gmail.com.

Shredification: Floating Goat Double Up
August 15, 2010
Local outfit Floating Goat is bobbing up and down in the metal ocean, somewhere in the vicinity of its tenth anniversary. Usually a fixture of San Francisco’s sweat-stained stages, their raucous jams and distinctive, steer-horned drumset have been absent lately, but with good reason – time not spent onstage has been spent in dark lairs around the Bay, crafting Spawn of Poseidon/Suburban Anxiety, an ambitious new double LP.
The ten-year milestone can be a dubious distinction, especially when a long shelf-life leads to frustration or musical calcification. For Floating Goat, the opposite is true: the songs on the new album represent strides forward in technique, songwriting, and furor, all of which abet the album’s epic scope.
As its title suggests, Spawn of Poseidon falls more fully in the headbanger wheelhouse, hinging on references to metaphysical spooks and an arsenal of snarling, pissed-off riffs. Opener “Get Out of the Way” features vocals that veer surprisingly close to strident hardcore for a band with such well-established stoner rock pedigrees. This iconoclastic ability to blend subgenres in the name of speed surfaces throughout the record.
Next up is the title track, whose thundering tribal toms evoke the ocean god’s tidal fury with traditionalist aplomb, before revving up into a screaming solo. Ominous, vaguely Middle Eastern melodies kick off “Smoke Rising” before giving way into a classic fuzzy shuffle groove. Guitarist Chris Corona’s playing, honed no doubt by a busy schedule (he is also a member of Orb of Confusion and Hazzard’s Cure, among other local projects) sounds better than ever. While he can be justifiably proud of his leadwork, the way he settles into the churning triplets on “Smoke Rising” is particularly satisfying.
