FRIDAY JAN 27th
The Phenomenauts
The Famous
Teenage Harlets
at Cafe Du Nord
2170 Market St, San Francisco
Doors at 8, Show at 9 -- $10, 21+
THE PHENOMENAUTS
Founded officially in 2000, the act has its roots in Space Patrol, a polka-themed '80s cover band that played all its songs on homemade instruments. These days Commander Angel Nova, Corporal Joebot, Major Jimmy Boom, and Captain Chreehos use more traditional intruments, but their mix of pop, psychobilly, and rock'n'roll is anything but normal. Decked out in bizarre astronautical outfits, the band members enliven their shows with such "Phenoma-gadgets" as the Theramatic-Helmerator (protective headwear outfitted with a theremin) and The Streamerator (a leafblower modified to launch streams of toilet paper into the crowd).
THE FAMOUS
Like an Old West duel between ‘50s country and ‘90s indie rock, The Famous arrange a standoff between the Pixies in a cowboy hat and Hank Williams on speed, six-shooters loaded with punk and rockabilly, and whaddya know - that bastard alt-country genre gets shot square in the forehead, with a stray bullet no less.
-West Coast Performer
TEENAGE HARLETS
harlet style rock and roll has no politics, no tiresome monologs, no talking, no tuning, and no fancy knobs, dials or effects. they play non-stop four on the floor rock that you could drink, dance, f*ck or fight to (for the record the harlets prefer the first three). maybe it's the west coast tone mixed with east coast aggression or maybe just a dash of genius floating on a gallon of insanity.. or maybe it's just the government cheese.
