  • Bay Curious, AroMa, and Frightwig at The Chapel

    As guitars wailed and the band belted out vocals in the dimly lit venue, I wondered if I might see a ghost. Would the spirits from the great beyond be disrupted by the earsplitting noise? Spoiler alert: I did not see a ghost. The “Haunted Riot” show at The Chapel last night was a quirky…

  • Impromptu punk show at 16th and Mission Bart plaza

    Today (Aug 31st) I arrived at the 16th St. Bart at around 7pm and walked right into a punk show. There were at least three bands rotating with 2 song sets. Unfortunately I have no idea who these bands are or what the event was called, if anything. I managed to get a few crappy…
