"Listen, I've written many words about both Fake Fruit and The Umbrellas over the past four years. They represent what's happening in San Francisco music right now. Nothing curated or manufactured about these bands. They are real artists, holding down numerous jobs, some at Amoeba Records to be exact, still paying their dues around the city, the country, and the world. So a gig on the roof of SFMOMA in the fall presented by Rooftop Radio and (((folkYEAH!)))? That right there is a sweet, done deal."
"There is nothing better than witnessing that live and in person. A couple of weeks back, I saw Mae Powell from the balcony at The Independent with a fellow SF music head. (Full disclosure, Mae put me on the list, and I say thank you, Mae.) But the feeling in that building, her fans, on a Thursday night, getting to experience her album release night? Not a better feeling in the world."
Local San Francisco music energy centers on live shows, album releases, and community-driven performances that bring fans together. Mae Powell's album release at The Independent generated a high-energy, fan-filled Thursday-night atmosphere experienced from the balcony and throughout the venue. Fake Fruit and The Umbrellas represent an authentic scene, balancing multiple jobs — including at Amoeba Records — while touring locally, nationally, and internationally. A rooftop SFMOMA performance presented by Rooftop Radio and (((folkYEAH!))) promises intimate, art-infused moments. Shonen Knife, formed in 1981, has influenced alternative rock for over 35 years, releasing nineteen albums and playing well over 1,000 gigs.
