Recommended, 3/7-3/13: Save KUSF Benefit, Emily Jane White, Balmorhea, and more
March 7, 2011
Every Monday, we’ll be offering you early picks for some of the week’s best concerts. Do you think we omitted something worthwhile? Let us know in the comments! Be sure to visit our Local Concert Calendar for an expanded set of daily listings.
Emily Jane White and Hélène Renaut perform at Cafe Du Nord
It’s frustrating to know that Emily Jane White‘s latest album, Ode to Sentience, was released last year in Europe, but isn’t yet available stateside, but it’s also an indicator of the deserved success the SF musician has found abroad. There’s an all-too-rare opportunity to see her perform at Cafe Du Nord on Wednesday the 9th (9:30pm, $10). As we noted last week, the show’s also the album release party for The Deer Convention, the latest from SF’s Hélène Renaut.
Save KUSF benefit this Saturday at the Uptown
This Saturday the 12th, your evening out can support the Save KUSF effort, as DJ AmperDan is hosting a benefit at The Uptown (8pm, $10+). The Trophy Fire, Fake Your Own Death, TIGERcat!, The Wrong Words, and Hate Factory will all perform, and KUSF in Exile DJs will be handling the music between sets.
The Wrong Words – “Summer’s Gone”
Balmorhea on Tuesday at the Hotel Utah
Austin instrumental rock band Balmorhea headlines at the Hotel Utah on Tuesday night (9pm, $12) as part of the band’s West Coast tour. Benoit Pioulard and Lazarus also perform.
The Rumble takes over Milk on Wednesday
The Rumble this Wednesday offers a free SF-Belgium-SF rock sandwich, with locals Grand Lake headlining and The Spyrals opening. Grand Lake’s currently prepping the Leaves Ellipse EP for release this month.
Grand Lake – “The Tourist” (Radiohead Cover, Leaves Ellipse Sessions)
Some mistake here: “Balmorhea on Tuesday at the Hemlock Tavern”, should be at Utah Hotel
Quite right. Corrected. Thanks!
