Little Teeth are three charming weirdoes from San Francisco who are redefining punk and freak folk for a new generation. Join the trio in celebration of the release of their debut album Child Bearing Man at Amoeba Berkeley!

This electro-pop duo eschews laptops or any pre-recorded samples and actually creates the music from scratch just like old-fashioned rock bands! Armed with a decidedly un-ironic keytar, dirty analog synths, and complex but danceable beats, Woodhands are hell-bent on connecting with their audience and getting the room bouncing.

What do you get when you blend 1-part Electronica, 2-parts Soul, a sprinkle of Funk & Hip-Hop, a little bit of yesterday, a little more of today, a whole bunch of tomorrow, and throw it in a boiling pot of magic musical fusion? A hot, undeniable batch of J*DaVeY, a duo with a sound that screams of past, present, and future influences. Their debut release The Beauty in Distortion / The Land of the Lost is out now!

Most known for her smash hits of the late 70's and early 80's (“Shame,” “I’m In Love,” and “Love Come Down”), Grammy award winning disco diva Evelyn "Champagne" King comes to Amoeba Music to celebrate her first release in 15 years, Open Book!

London-based producer Kevin Martin, a.k.a The Bug, has spent the last decade breaking ground in diverse musical projects under various aliases: EAR (experimental ambient), God (space jazz), Ice (hip-hop), and Techno Animal (electronic). As The Bug, Martin draws on grime, dancehall, and hip-hop for a post-apocalyptic sound that has critics and fans buzzing. Joining The Bug is vocalist Warrior Queen in her San Francisco debut. Also catch their show at Club Six on September 27th!

Chicha Libre plays a mixture of Latin rhythms, surf music, and psychedelic pop inspired by Peruvian music from the Amazon. The Brooklyn-based band mixes up covers of forgotten Chicha classics with French-tinged originals, re-interpretation of 70’s pop classics as well as cumbia versions of pieces by Satie and Ravel. Also, catch them at Cafe Du Nord on September 26th at 11:30pm.

Elvin Bishop has been singing and recording his rollicking brand of electrified down-home blues for almost 40 years. Bishop's history-making tenure as a founding member of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band in the '60s, his chart-topping hits in the'70s, and his emergence on Alligator Records in the late '80s place him at the forefront of electric blues guitarists. Join the legend in celebration of the release of his new album The Blues Rolls On at Amoeba Music!! Also, catch him on Saturday, September 27th at the San Francisco Blues Festival.

Noah and The Whale make earnest, poetic music. Described in The Sunday Times as “a global hit in the making”, their debut album 5 Years Time is a glorious love song that blends the simple narrative and direct lo-fi charm of anti-folk artists such as Jeffrey Lewis or Jonathan Richman with the classic pop of Buddy Holly.

For over 10 years, DJ J–Boogie has honed his craft in the Bay Area music scene, both in clubs & on the radio with the award–winning program "Beatsauce" on KUSF 90.3fm. His band Dubtronic Science brings the next dimension to his turntable sets by incorporating LIVE musicians onstage, including sitar, tablas, flute, sax, drums, percussion, and vocals!

With more than 40 albums, two GRAMMYs, and countless collaborations to his credit, Taj Mahal is one of the recording industry's most celebrated contemporary blues artists. In his never-ending exploration of the complex origins and underpinnings of American music, he has forged a four-decade career by gathering and distilling countless musical traditions from a range of geographical and cultural sources: the Mississippi Delta, the Appalachian backwoods, the African continent, the Hawaiian islands, Europe, the Caribbean and so much more. Maestro, his first domestic release in five years, hits the stores in late September!
