The rave-up rhythm section of Tim Rye and Mike McCaffery rounds out the band. “Like a cross between Jefferson Airplane and X…” Bill Donohue, PSM “Swirling, melodic, noisy, epic…” Mark Woodlief, Warp!

They have a strong and loyal local following and have been voted by the SF Bay Guardian as one of San Francisco's best live shows. A notoriously eclectic indie band, The Dont's spend an inordinate amount of a time improvising in their San Francisco studio, and have retained nearly seventy hours of internal recordings since their inception in 2003. Finn Riggings was conceived in Moscow, ID and born in Hailey, ID. It is an unorthodox trio, operated by two guys and one girl.

On Friday June 6th, Turnaround-Sound & Prismatic Tracks, along with Very Special Guest Hosts SASHA (FLIRTY-FLIRTY) & NICOLE DOHERTY (THE SHOW!) are proud to bring you the 3rd installment of “FINALLY!” @ PINK. From deep to vocal, funky to tech, jackin' to groovin', if it's high-quality house music then we'll be bringing it to you the 1st Friday of every month! For the month of June, we’ve got a bunch of special goodies to share with you. First off, lets tell you about the great talent you’re going to hear who also will be performing their PINK DEBUTS. Most people associate the skill of ALAIN OCTAVIO with that definitive SPUNDAE/Ruby-Skye big room sound, but for “FINALLY!”, you will get to experience a 100% HOUSE set from the man who’s been itchin to show San Francisco what he can really do to an intimate house crowd. For the old-school heads, we called in a favor from dj Gerry Roberts. Gerry was representing the East Bay back in the day, & now you’ll find him bouncing up & down the west coast playing venues like CINESPACE & Kitchen-24 in Los Angeles. For this fantastic night, be prepared for what promises to be a set that sets the night in motion! And if you ask around or viewed pictures from the last two months @ “FINALLY!”, then you probably heard that residents SEN-SEI & ANDREW PHELAN completely KILLED IT! If their infectious energy, tight mixing, & diverse track selection doesn’t get you sweating like a 2 hour spin class, nothing will! Expect San Francisco’s Dynamic Duo of Live House to go one step further this month. Now for the last bit of news to share with you; We’re going to be celebrating TWO BIRTHDAYS tonight! First off, it’s SEN-SEI’S BIRTHDAY (the 16 year veteran scene-ster turns 35!), & the lovely Diana Bertolotti will also be celebrating with us! So if there was ever a time to come out, “FINALLY!” @ PINK is the event you just can’t miss. Between the phenomenal music, the beautiful crowd, and a sexy venue with one of the best sound systems in the city, you "FINALLY" know where you'll be on June 6th! ***For complimentary admission to “FINALLY!” before 11PM, click on the following link for guestlist signup:*** http://www.prismatictracks.com/pinkguestlist.php FINALLY. The weekend is here! FINALLY. Some Beautiful, Soulful House Music FINALLY. The First Friday of the month. FINALLY! @ PINK
