Rodney Crowell, Joe Henry, Jenny Scheinman Bimbo's 365 Club Fri., November 21, 9:00pm North Beach/Chinatown
Jenny Scheinman’s latest release is a self-titled album of captivating blues, roots, and haunting folk songs. This seeming shift in direction may surprise fans of the violinist and vocalist’s other work. She was an early member of Charming Hostess, one of the East Bay freak... More >>
El Guincho, Tussle, DJs Disco Shawn & Oro11 The Independent Fri., November 21, 9:00pm Haight/Fillmore
When it comes to Barcelona-based musician Pablo Diaz Reixa and his one-man band, El Guincho, your limbs may react before your brain does. His newly released breakthrough album, Alegranza, is a sampledelic, Spanish-language valentine to island rhythms, underground hip-hop, Afrobeat, and... More >>
In Flames, Gojira, All That Remains, 36 Crazyfists The Warfield Fri., November 21, 7:00pm Hayes Valley/Tenderloin
France may not be the international hotbed for metal, but the extreme French quartet Gojira has emerged as one of the genre’s leading lights. On the brutal, esoteric The Way of All Flesh, guitarist and vocalist Joe Duplantier and drummer brother Mario shine as metal’s most fearsome... More >>
Of Montreal, Health The Regency Center Fri., November 21, 8:00pm Nob Hill/Russian Hill
Kevin Barnes is a centaur. Or, at least, he plays one for a few minutes onstage each night with his polymorphic pop sextet Of Montreal. Dressing as a partly nude stallion is just one way Barnes and his hallucinatory Athens, Ga.-based troupe visually accompany the tour for their ninth album,... More >>
ohGr, American Memory Project Slim's Fri., November 21, 9:00pm South of Market
Oooooh ... ohGr? Sounds scary! You say this “Nivek Ogre” feller is the same guy who — as singer for electroterror trio Skinny Puppy — used to drench himself in blood, vivisect stuffed dogs, and simulate ripping out his own intestines onstage? And now he’s portraying a... More >>
Windsurf Amoeba Music Fri., November 21, 7:00pm Haight/Fillmore
We’ve had some things to celebrate of late. First, after eight years of our living under a Republican fog, Barack Obama is gonna move into the White House come January. Then a dose of summer heat hit in the middle of November. Literally and metaphorically, sunshine is suddenly poking out... More >>
Blackbird: A Queer Vocal History Mama Calizo's Voice Factory Daily from Fri., November 14 until Sun., November 23, 8:00pm South of Market
Blackbird: A Queer Vocal History promises to be the best homage to singing outsiders since Can’t Stop the Music, shining the spotlight on half a dozen favorite and soon-to-be-favorite queer musical obscurities. Through a hodgepodge of puppetry, live performance, and jazzy media, Seth Eisen... More >>
The Execution of Precious Memories Project Artaud Theater Daily from Wed., November 19 until Sat., November 22, 8:00pm
more dates/times 		Mission/Bernal Heights
Since the earliest incarnation of Einstürzende Neubauten, when Blixa Bargeld and scrap-metal maestro N.U. Unruh appeared partly clothed and playing in a hole under the Berlin autobahn, Bargeld has reached beyond the synthesis of traditional art forms to externalize emotional states of... More >>
New Italian Cinema Embarcadero Center Cinema Daily from Sun., November 16 until Sun., November 23 Embarcadero
It wasn’t all that long ago that The New York Times was running stories lamenting the precipitous decline of Italian cinema. The industry was in a certified crisis, as Hollywood flicks siphoned off moviegoers and the decades-long streak of star directors with international reputations came... More >>
San Francisco Hip-Hop DanceFest Palace of Fine Arts Daily from Fri., November 21 until Sun., November 23, 8:00pm Marina/Cow Hollow
Russian hip-hop dance looks just like American hip-hop dance, if you don't know hip-hop dance. Those who do know that the Russians are a bit cheeky in their style, and might throw in the cross-armed, cross-legged Cossack move known as "the Russian." In Korea, where hip-hop dance is a cultural... More >>
"Assembly Instructions" Jack Hanley Gallery Daily from Wed., November 19 until Sat., November 29 South of Market
Like Amanda Eicher's art constellation of names which enlivens the ceiling at Adobe Bookshop, "Assembly Instructions" is a flow chart of an exhibition, and very pretty. Artist Alexandre Singh's show was a "mid-month pick" by artbusiness.com's Alan Bamberger, but it's only up for another few... More >>
A Christmas Tale Bridge Theatre Daily from Fri., November 21 until Thu., December 25 Richmond (Inner)
A Christmas Tale feels like all 12 days of seasonal merriment, and then some. This comic, ultimately touching family melodrama is a heady plum pudding of a movie—studded with outsized performances and drenched in cinematic brio. The concoction is over-rich, yet irresistible. The narrative... More >>
Bela Fleck & the Flecktones Yoshi's SF Daily from Tue., November 18 until Sat., November 22, 8:00pm
more dates/times 		Japantown/Pacific Heights
Bela Fleck and the Flecktones went and made a truly creative holiday collection, Jingle All the Way -- one hepcats the world over can swing with and to. For the uninitiated, Bela Fleck is of the generation of pickers (along with Mike Marshall, Tony Rice, and local Laurie Lewis) who seeks new... More >>
Happy-Go-Lucky Lumiere Theatre Daily from Thu., November 20 until Thu., November 27 Hayes Valley/Tenderloin
After extended cameos in two previous Mike Leigh films (as a resourceful pop tart in All or Nothing and the date-raped rich girl in Vera Drake), fine-boned Sally Hawkins shoulders the burden of every scene as the most relentlessly upbeat 30-year-old kindergarten teacher ever to bicycle... More >>
Were the World Mine Opera Plaza Cinema Daily from Fri., November 21 until Thu., November 27 Hayes Valley/Tenderloin
Tom Gustafson’s queer-centric take on Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream teeters between banal conceptualizing and inspired execution. When high school homo and jock punching bag Timothy (Tanner Cohen) is cast as Puck in his all-boys school’s production of Midsummer, he... More >>
The 1000 Journals Project San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Daily from Thu., November 20 until Sun., April 5 South of Market
A few years ago, Someguy (he's an artist) sent out 1,000 blank journals into the world with a humble request: Hey, you holding the blank journal, fill it up! People did. Some people did. Some sent their journals back to Someguy; others kept them in circulation, and they traveled the world. A... More >>
McCoy Tyner Trio with Marc Ribot Yoshi's Daily from Tue., November 18 until Sat., November 22, 8:00pm
more dates/times 		Jack London Square
There’s no shortage of rock musicians trundling right past retirement age without hanging it up. They’re often content to satisfy fans with rote deliveries of greatest hits that have more to do with muscle memory than with inspiration. Conversely, jazz players in their golden years... More >>
