Mikal Cronin premieres video for “Change,” adds tour dates
May 17, 2013
Recent transplant Mikal Cronin, whose MCII was released a few weeks ago, premiered a video for “Change” with SPIN last week.
Another one for the ‘house party gets out of control’ canon, the video revolves around Cronin himself churning out “Change” in the midst of a rowdy gathering, and a faceless being in a hoodie that wanders the crowd.
Cronin’s MCII, which is currently conquering cold-hearted critics everywhere, is out on Merge Records right now. He’s also extended this summer’s European tour dates and recently announced a stop at FYF Fest in August. More info can be found on the Merge Records website.

Ticket Giveaway Thursday: Sea Wolf, Savoir Adore @ Great American, 5/21/13
May 16, 2013
For Bay Area folks, the name ‘Sea Wolf’ might call to mind a Jack London classic, a rugged high-seas adventure that takes place off the shores of San Francisco at the turn of the century. That’s why it’s strangely appropriate that Sea Wolf, the LA indie band that got their start around the turn of this century, is appearing at Great American Music Hall, a crimson-walled remnant of the Barbary Coast days during which London thrived. If you’d like a shot at a pair of tickets, follow the directions below.
To enter this contest submit an email to contest[at]thebaybridged.com with your full name in the body and the concert you’re entering the contest for in the subject line.

San Jose’s Cartoon Bar Fight will depart for a teeny tiny tour next week. Spanning just over a week, the eerie pop band will hit usual haunts like San Francisco, but also make more out-of-the-way stops in places like Hayward and Santa Cruz.
The band will use the tour as a place to premiere tracks from their upcoming concept album, due later this year. They’ll also be teaming up with a star-studded roster of Bay Area up-and-comers (or already-there-ers), including Manzanita Falls, The Y Axes, Piranha Party! and more.

Ticket Giveaway: Devendra Banhart, 5/21/13 @ The Regency Ballroom
May 9, 2013
Freak-folk’s not dead, and neither is Devendra Banhart. Though he’s been laying low for the last couple of years, he never really left. Nonetheless, a lot has changed since the last time we really heard from Banhart: he’s just released a new record, Mala, on Nonesuch, and more noticeably, he’s traded his trademark tresses for a (slightly) more conventional cut.
Currently touring behind Mala, he’ll be at the Regency on the 21st (and for all you South Bay-ers, he’ll be at the Rio in Santa Cruz on the 18th). We’ve got a pair of tickets to give away to the Regency show – just shout if you want ‘em.
To enter this contest submit an email to contest[at]thebaybridged.com with your full name in the body and the concert you’re entering the contest for in the subject line. You may only submit your name once to only one contest. Winners will be chosen at random and will be awarded one pair of tickets unless otherwise noted.
