Adam Green

Where: Rickshaw Stop

Date: 2008-05-20 20:00:00

Type:

Employing a quirky feel set around acoustic-based indie arrangements, Adam Green has quickly become an underground sensation with his ironic and left-of-center approach to his songcraft. One half of the gritty indie-rock pair the Moldy Peaches, Green along with vocalist Kimya Dawson made their mark on the New York club scene in the late '90s with their rigid and trippy style, highlighted on their 2001 eponymous release. Deciding to go it alone in 2002, the singer/songwriter debuted his solo effort, 'Garfield,' utilizing a lo-fi anti-folk method on the cuts 'Computer Show' and 'Her Father and Her,' while setting an infectious pop tone for the number 'Dance With Me.' Wry, irreverent and playful, Adam Green is the eccentric maestro of the neo-folk movement.

A raucous, saucy indie circus orgy of the lustiest caliber! Titillating circus acts, tantilizing live bands & djs! Ain't no better way to welcome back SF's original indie circus extravaganza than with an homage to a true SF original... Extra Action Marching Band in it's full glory. "Powerful and empowering, the Extra Action Marching Band seduces the pre-civilized will. They are immediate and visceral -- more of a sweaty invitation than a show. They are a parody of idioms with shattering volume -- guerrilla theater with the rug rolled up. As the sound boils into a spinning crossfire, sweat and flying hair tangle in a delicious knot. Audience and band submit together, to each other, to the whim and fancy, to satisfaction. Irresistible." ...and to add to the debauched goodness, BC welcomes our good pals and beautiful buffoons Fou Fou Ha!, the shoot'em-up circus stylings of Cowboy Girls and the SF debut of pole-dancing phenom from Portland, Blaze. For your booty-shakin' pleasures, resident DJs Coop & Audilew share the tables with frequent resident Smoove and BC virgin Tamo. And of course your hosts Gooferman and the whole Vau de Vire family on hand to titillate your fancy and lead you down a path of irreversible bliss... Spectators beware, this here's an interactive affair! Plus our all-new FotoExpo, featuring the inimitable (and purchasable) work of the Bohemian Carnival photographer pool.
