The Bye Bye Blackbirds are a harmony drenched band of songwriting fanatics who marry their love of classic 60's pop with the moody jangle of 80's New Zealand, 70's countrypolitan, and the intelligent, inspired gems of any era. Their new album Houses & Homes is available now!

LAKE crafts up-beat, dance-able, psychedelic, uniquely sincere and unaffected pop songs. Their third album Oh, the Places We’ll Go was recorded at home, largely on cassette 8-track, and has a slightly lo-fi, homemade feel that also shows evidence of their influence from prolific artists Karl Blau and R. Stevie Moore. Also catch their show at The Lab later that night!

After years as a pillar of the Bay Area scene, Bart Davenport's soulful singing and ear for amazing melodies are reaching their biggest audience yet with his fourth solo album, Palaces. His singing is rich, deep and nuanced, while his lyrics sparkle with plainspoken poetry that offers telling insights into the minds and hearts of his subjects.

Mark Farina is the master of the blend! His new album Mushroom Jazz 6 features new and unreleased material from the finest in Mushroom Jazz music (funky instrumental Hip Hop, downtempo, soul, and blunted beats mixed together to perfection by Farina himself) plus a bumpin’ brand new Farina original track entitled “Life."

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!

This band's sound exudes a finesse that belies their youth  -- yes, the Spinto Band has finally made it...through highschool, that is. With rich, textured guitars, and multiple-part vocal harmonies, The Spinto Band’s repertoire is a maelstrom of indie perfection. It’s unique, energetic, radiant, and aptly engaging. Free gift with purchase: buy a copy of their new album Moonwink and get a 7" single FREE! Also, catch them in SF at The Bottom of the Hill on 11/01 & 11/02.

Continuing their slow-motion invasion of Bay Area hearts and minds, local beach lovers Windsurf (aka solo acts Hatchback and Sorcerer) bring their cherished brand of cosmic disco, balearic-island beats and 80's synthrock bliss to Amoeba SF for a special, rarely-performed tag-team DJ set!
