Just Announced: The Sounds @ The Fillmore

When I saw the Sounds perform at the Fillmore last December, it was the last of show of their North American tour. While you could see they were very excited to return to Europe, they made sure to finish strong and gave San Francisco an amazing show. At one point, lead singer, Maja Ivarsson, sexed up her performance by bringing up a girl from the audience, grabbing her by the hair, licking her face and neck on the stage... and the rest is a blur. The set list consisted primarily of high energy dance-rock tunes and was nicely broken up by the solo piano version of "Night After Night" which I can still hear in my head to this day as clear as the day she haunted me with it.

Eagerly anticipating their return, I was quite disappointed when they posted their 2007 tour dates which did not include a single American city. That all changed yesterday. The Sounds will make a quick stop in California (on their way over to Australia) to play a show in LA on September 17th and a show in San Francisco at The Fillmore on September 18th. Tickets for The Fillmore show are $22.50 and go on sale Sunday 8/19 @ 10am through Live Nation.

Gogol Bordello @ Fillmore (Aug 29)

If the Gogol Bordello show at the Fillmore on Aug 29 is not yet sold out, it soon will be. They recently played at Irving Plaza in NY. Check out the Brooklyn Vegan's review of the Gogol Bordello show at the famed NY venue.



I might have to bring a change of clothes, as it looks like it is going to be quite a work-out.gogolbordellogogol bordello

Decisions, decisions...

Aside from the fact that 'Smashing Pumpkins' start their two-and-a-half week stint @ the Fillmore today, there is a gaggle of great shows to see this week. The trouble is that 3 of the bands I'm interested in seeing are all performing on the same day at different venues.

Shout Out Louds play Popscene (Rickshaw Stop)
Oh No! Oh My play the Independent
Circus Diablo opens for Mondo Generator (featuring Nick Oliveri from QOTSA) at Cafe du Nord.

I'm pretty sure it's going to come down to the mood in on Wednesday. I vote Shout Out Louds.
