Thanks and see you there!

What is there left to say? Our meanings & our existence is based around the idea that we are all to grow into a career, have children, and live a life that preaches: "we're all safe, we are all safe on this side."

Becoming the machine is easy. Get up, work, come home, experience a sometimes fake happiness that is provided only by the material items or people who insulate you from what you really are needing to become.

Pouring from the inside out, everyone begins to run away from their safe existence at some point. While dressed in work regalia you tape your thoughts into a new photo in a travel catalog, or aspiration.

C'mon. How can you know if you are walking when YOU ARE THE MACHINE?

Take this song. It is off of our upcoming release. Please, review it and send us your feedback. This cd is everything that has ever happened to a person who you have seen fall down the drain. into a spiral of working, living, and materialism.

At the Rockit Room Sunday May 18th - 8PM

Poppy, hooky , intense and often upbeat. Music that immediately takes hold of the ear and soul. Steeped in the fun and flamboyance of the 80s, the revolution of 90s rock and dance, and passionately enamored and enthralled by the electronic sounds, heavy beats, and cross genre melding that is happening now, Happily Ever After is blindly following their hearts...

Sometimes twangy, sometimes retro, but always melodic and guitar-driven, The Bridge Crawl brings its refreshing brand of new-classic original rock to Kimo's (1351 Polk St., SF) on Friday, May 9.

Since forming less than a year ago, the Oakland-based group has recorded a 4-song EP, Roaming, and has played a heavy schedule of shows, taking them far and wide throughout Northern California, down to Los Angeles, San Diego, and back again.

With more than 20 original tunes to select from, The Bridge Crawl has begun preproduction on a full-length album, and is focusing on shows in the immediate Bay Area in the spring and summer.

Fresh from their gig last month at the Hotel Utah, you can catch The Bridge Crawl Friday, May 9 at Kimo's where they'll share a bill with Planes Over Bridges (no relation) and My Own City. Doors at 9pm; $6.

Local Bands, DJ's, Drinks, BBQ & fun times by the Zoo in support of local artists and musicians.

On Saturday, May 10th at Zoofront Property (2546 45th Avenue between Ulloa and Vicente, San Francisco) there will be a rock 'n roll fundraiser with drinks, BBQ, DJ's, dancing, art, music and more. All proceeds will benefit the concert benefactors' effort to establish a musical, artistic, and cultural collective in San Francisco.

Performing at the event will be artists Queen Mae & the Bells from Ohio, Fox Culture of San Jose, and The Hare of San Francisco, as well as the DJ styling of Ring Trick and International MC DD Smooth.

With the $5 entrance fee to the event, each guest will receive a complimentary compilation CD of songs from the bands performing at the event. Drinks ($3/beer, $10 unlimited) and BBQ ($3 meat/veggie dogs) are available for purchase, as will be art and music.

Proceeds from the event will be used to finance a future public space for the musical and artistic community that is Zoofront. The space will feature music, visual art, film projects and more as the community grows and evolves.

Band: Jonathan Meek & the Mutes

Irony & Pity is completely DIY: recorded and mixed in the local church where Jonathan's dad preaches. It's credited to Jonathan Meek & the Mutes, but nearly every note recorded was performed by Jonathan himself. His brother, Nathaniel Meek, lent his talents as a drummer for two of the five tracks, and Mike Mittelstedt, Jonathan's fellow band member in the San Francisco group the Fair Saints, engineered and co-produced. "Having [Mike] there engineering and giving me feedback gave me such enormous freedom and confidence, so that a lot of the record could just fall into place. Most of what you hear was written right there during the session." The energy and the feel of the music make it hard for the listener to believe that only three people were involved in producing it; and clearly the inspirations for the record are literally countless.

Band: The Family Curse

Marc & Megan Tweed, joined by time traveling guitar strangler, Jeff Doom, investigate the possibilities presented by brain-damaging beats, shrieking guitars and the screams and moans of a grateful, cult-bound abductee. Formed in San Francisco in 2004, they've disgraced stages with the likes of The Prids, Sixteens, Ghostigital, Chow Nasty, Wormwood, Giant Squid, Hostile Combover, Indian Jewelry, The Long and Short of It and many others. With a recently completed full-length, "Spice Rack", under their belts (April 2008, Fainting Room), they're now working on new material and booking shows for summer 2008.
