SF Indiefest
presents SF WINTER MUSIC FESTIVAL Closing Party |
The SF Winter Music Fest Closing Party, plus the
SF Independent Film Fest OPENING Party! Performing live: |
Kid Beyond loops and
multitracks his voice onstage to create his own live backing
tracks -- layering impassioned lyrics over beatboxing and
vocal instrumentation. It's a riveting, soulful brew of pop
electronica. A "fiercely charismatic... truly mesmerizing"
performer, a powerful rock-soul singing voice, and
jaw-dropping skills that earned him the title "San Francisco's
Best Beatboxer," Kid Beyond has rocked sprawling festivals,
huge warehouse parties, and packed venues from the Fillmore to
Carnegie Hall. Smash-Up Derby, the Bootie house band! Imagine a band that mixes [insert well-known indie band here] with [insert famous pop artist here] sprinkled with a dash of [for intrigue, insert descriptive noun here]. (Join the Bootie group on Facebook!) Gooferman, the Bohemian Carnival house band! Hybridized, breakbeat-infected, hippity-hopped, groove-embossed, rockin' funkstuff, delivered via superstyled klowns. Think Oingo Boingo, Janes Addiction, Mr. Bungle, Bassment Jaxx, Soul Coughing, Prince, and Looney Tunes happily stuffed into a mini Big Top. (Join the Bohemian Carnival group on Facebook!) |

Swing Goth presents WONDERLAND: A TIM BURTON BALL |
Performing live: With DJs: Dance Lessons: Polka 7:30-8:30, and Jitterbug 8:30-9:30 ($5 for both) Lounge: |
Abney Park comes from an era that never was, but one that we
wish had been. An era where airships waged war in the skies,
and corsets and cummerbunds were proper adventuring
attire. They've picked up their bad musical habits,
scoundrelous musicians, and anachronistically hybridized
instruments from dozens of locations and eras that they have
visited in their travels and thrown them into one riotous
dervish of a performance. Expect clockwork guitars, belly
dancers, flintlock bassists, middleastern percussion, violent
violin, and Tesla powered keyboards blazing in a post-
apocalyptic, swashbuckling, Steampunk musical mayhem. Swing Goth is what happens when rock-a-billy meets goth, and is peppered with a little blues, waltzing and a healthy portion of dirty dancing... all to modern music. Join the Swing Goth group on Facebook! |

"Best Body Slams:
The folks at Fog City Wrestling want you to watch a luchador
slam a Tom Cruise impersonator into the floor. They want you
to see a Samoan take-down team (combined weight: 1,100 pounds)
take on the "Reno Punks" in a swirling, convoluted drama of
independent pro-wrasslin'. Sweaty, in-your-face, "maybe knock
you over if you're in the front row" wrestling has come back
to San Francisco after what promoters Caesar Black and Steve
Armani claim has been a 30-year absence. Fog City's shows are
packed with so many acts, highlights, and subplots that things
get raucously confusing. With a full-size ring and
professional sound and lights, it brings a high level of
showmanship with a big ol' plate of athleticism on the
side. Wrestlers like Rikishi, the Mexican Werewolf, and Mister
Primetime pull big-show moves -- flying back flips, body slams,
and pile drivers -- just like them whut you see on the tee-vee."
