Episode 6: Birdmonster - “The Only One”

This episode is our second of two video podcasts featuring Birdmonster performing new tracks off of their latest full length, From the Mountain to the Sea, performed at Heron’s Head Park in San Francisco. In this video the guys perform “The Only One” — one of the ballads off of their new album which highlights some of the diverse instrumentation used throughout their album. Accompanying this video are several photos by Howie Cockrill documenting the shoot.

The video was shot and edited by the talented gentlemen of Bank of Karma; the audio was recorded and mixed by The Bay Bridged. [More...]

Video Podcast Episode 5: Birdmonster - “Born To Be Your Man”

We are pleased to announce our latest episode in The Bay Bridged Video Podcast series. This episode features Birdmonster, from an exclusive performance we filmed a few months ago at Heron’s Head Park in Hunter’s Point. “Born To Be Your Man” is the first single off of From The Mountain To The Sea, and this stripped-down take is a great introduction to the band’s evolving sound and a terrific performance in its own right.

Video Podcast Episode 4: The Dodos - “Men”

Here’s the latest episode in our video podcast series. This is the second of two videos spotlighting The Dodos, from their sold-out homecoming show at The Independent in June. While the recent Visiter has been drawing well-deserved acclaim, the band’s performance of “Men,” from their first full length Beware of the Maniacs, demonstrates that their talents have been percolating in the underground for quite a while. This track is also the first track off of The Bay Bridged’s first compilation which can be picked up on iTunes.

Video Podcast Episode 3: The Dodos - “Paint the Rust”

We’re back with the next episode in our ongoing video podcast series. This is the first of two programs spotlighting The Dodos, from their sold-out homecoming show at The Independent in June. The Dodos played with a ferocious intensity that night–going for about an hour and a half with few breaks between songs–and they showcased the performance skills that deservedly made them one of the year’s most buzzed-about bands. In the end, it was enough to leave even an audience member feeling thoroughly satiated, if a little winded.

The video was shot and edited by the talented gentlemen of Bank of Karma; the audio was recorded and mixed by The Bay Bridged.

Introducing The Bay Bridged Video Podcast: Low Red Land — Live on a Roof, 5/18/08

Over the past two and a half years, we’ve prided ourselves on bringing you the best music in the Bay Area via our weekly audio podcast and our daily blog. Today, we begin a new chapter for The Bay Bridged, expanding into the world of video with the launch of a new video podcast series showcasing exclusive performances in unique Bay Area locations by some of the best bands around.

Last month, a select crowd of friends and music fans were invited to an exclusive performance by Low Red Land and The Botticellis on the roof of The Bay Bridged Headquarters in the Outer Mission. We will be featuring two selections from Low Red Land’s performance that day in two separate podcasts. Today’s episode features a medley of “Gunfighter’s Lament”/”The Duke” and the next episode, to be published next week, will feature their song “Goodnight Moon”. These videos were shot and edited by the talented gentlemen of Bank of Karma; the audio was recorded and mixed by The Bay Bridged.

We’ll be releasing new episodes of this series every few weeks or so, and will be shooting new performances all summer long. Enjoy!

You can watch the video after the jump and all of them will be archived at our NEW video page found here.
