| "Anaphylactic" Dreamers & Make Believers | Fri., December 5, 8:00pm | Mission/Bernal Heights | |
A gaggle of wig mannequins isn’t the most common audience for live music (though at some snore-inducing gigs it sometimes feels like it). This Friday, however, the monthly “Anaphylactic” indie showcase moves from its usual home at Million Fishes Arts Collective to the Mission... More >>

| "Sound vs. Image" Artists' Television Access | Thu., December 11, 8:00pm | Mission/Bernal Heights | |
Concerts are active entertainment, while films are a passive medium. Why else did the movie industry deem it necessary to dream up Sensurround, Smell-O-Vision, 3-D glasses, and IMAX? Working with far slimmer budgets but equally inspired to make moviegoing more enlivening, a new breed of... More >>

| Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist, and Patients Herbst Theatre | Mon., December 8, 8:00pm | Hayes Valley/Tenderloin | |
The animated series was only the tip of the iceberg for Dr. Katz. After Comedy Central fired its therapist, a string of live shows followed, bringing up guests from the audience to get diagnosed by the doctor. One thing you should know: Dr. Katz is a comedian first and a doctor second, so be... More >>

| "First Annual International Body Music Festival" Project Artaud Theater | Fri., December 5, 8:00pm | Mission/Bernal Heights | |
Upon finding delight in the corporeal world, most infants express it by slapping, clapping, stomping, thumping, and vocalizing. This same combination has been cultivated and refined in every culture around the world. Yet, there has never been an international gathering of body musicians. This... More >>

| Little Joy, The Dead Trees, Red Cortez Slim's | Tue., December 9, 8:00pm | South of Market | |
The Strokes are officially on “hiatus” until early 2009, but really, does anyone care? They aren’t the same hungry young Manhattanites who released Is This It in 2001. That raw, disaffected downtown sound has grown stale over the years from a combination of lackluster live shows,... More >>

| Meshell Ndegeocello, The Coup The Fillmore | Sun., December 7, 8:00pm | Japantown/Pacific Heights | |
Meshell Ndegeocello has packed plenty of stylistic hairpin turns into a two-decade career, from her hip-hop debut to her more recent forays into quiet-storm-jazz-meets- avant-funk instrumentals. Though fusion heavyweights like Pat Metheny appear on her latest effort, The World Has Made Me the... More >>

| Not So Silent Night ’08 Oracle Arena | Thu., December 11, 6:30pm | East Oakland | |
Live 105’s annual holiday bash, Not So Silent Night, is always crammed with radio staples, but this year it provides a real treat with one of 2009’s biggest sneak peeks. Franz Ferdinand managed to hole up away from the spotlight in 2008, but on January 27, the Scottish lads once again... More >>

| Thrasher Magazine’s Skater of the Year Party Great American Music Hall | Fri., December 12, 7:00pm | Nob Hill/Russian Hill | |
Silas Baxter-Neal’s ollies, grinds, and kickflips are the stuff of legend — or, at least, the stuff of repeated slack-jawed YouTube views. So it comes as little surprise that the 25-year-old resident of Eugene, Oregon, has been named Thrasher Magazine’s 2008 Skater of the Year.... More >>

| Wilderness, San Serac, Wildbirds & Peacedrums Bottom of the Hill | Thu., December 11, 9:00pm | Potrero Hill | |
You don’t so much listen to a Wilderness album as become completely absorbed by it. The band’s densely textured and deceptively simple format of guitar, bass, and drums takes on a throbbing, hypnotic quality that’s hard to classify with terms like “postpunk,” though it... More >>

Armed with stringed instruments and intense training from the likes of Juilliard and the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, Classical Revolution is on a mission to change the way classical music is perceived and performed in this city.

Thu., December 11, 8:00pm more dates/times |
Mission/Bernal Heights | |
Do you sing in the chorus? You probably just sing in the shower. But did you ever notice how happy choral singers look in their photos, all snug in immaculate tuxedos or shining robes? It must be something about the way it feels to sing in a group that makes everybody so smiley. Judging by the... More >>
