| "The 2008 ’Stache Bash" Rickshaw Stop | Wed., December 17, 7:30pm | Hayes Valley/Tenderloin | |
It seems that men of a certain age and fashion sensibility are growing mustaches, whether they should or not. The fuzzy things dust upper lips from the Mission to Williamsburg, daring viewers to decide where to focus their ire: the ostentatious handlebars, or the multicolored Sta-Puft sneakers... More >>

| "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 >>

| CSS Bimbo's 365 Club | Fri., December 12, 9:00pm | North Beach/Chinatown | |
Leave it to a bunch of Brazilians to bring a party vibe to the ongoing ’80s music redux. A multicolored gob toward the legions of dour Cure copyists, CSS has been offering up its contagious electropop to the global dancefloor since forming in São Paulo five years ago. Filled with... More >>

Bay Area natives Mike Relm and Peanut Butter Wolf (the latter lives in L.A., but he grew up here so we can still claim him) have taken their DJing into new dimensions over the last several years by mixing videos with vinyl.

| Mochipet, Return to Mono, The Flying Skulls, Anon Day Red Devil Lounge | Wed., December 10, 8:00pm | Nob Hill/Russian Hill | |
Mochipet is the cartoon sidekick you always wished you’d had as a kid, a hyperactive glee-machine who’s always ready for some kinda krazy adventure involving trampolines, superballs, a carton of stolen Mentos, and as many 3-liter bottles of Jolt cola as your hands can carry. It... More >>

| "Tutu Tuesday" Vessel | Second Tuesday of every month, 9:00pm | North Beach/Chinatown | |
Big secret about tutus: If you're wearing one, you can't rest your hands at your sides – not if you're wearing a real, starched, horizontal ballerina tutu. Wear any kind of tutu you want at Tutu Tuesday, floppy or erect. If you don't own a tutu, or if you forgot yours at home, make or buy... More >>

| Winterkälte, Marching Dynamics, DJ Rtype, DJ Bonk, DJ Intoner DNA Lounge | Sun., December 7, 9:00pm | South of Market | |
Harsh. Painful. Masochistic. No, I’m not talking about suffering through those nightmarish Sex & the City DVDs with your girlfriend — I’m talking about Winterkälte. This German electronic duo titled its 1999 album Drum ’n’ Noise because that’s precisely what... More >>

After more than a dozen years away, Stevie Wonder graced the Bay Area with several local concert appearances in 2007 and 2008.

| "Manquake" The Gangway | Last Saturday of every month, 9:00pm | Nob Hill/Russian Hill | |
With a name that evokes the great gay earthquake of 1906, Manquake ranks as one of San Francisco’s finest rattletraps of homespun homosexual hedonism. Thematic metaphors mix when this natural-disaster-identifying club night unfolds before the portholes of the nautically inclined Gangway.... More >>

| "Planet Big" The Stud |
Second Sunday of every month, 5:00pm more dates/times |
South of Market | |

Popscene’s DJ Nako has a secret — a dark secret. She may belong to the most ubiquitous crew of tastemakers on the Bay’s western shores, but despite all that hipster popularity she still keeps some cobwebbed skeletons in the closet. They are, believe it or not, goth skeletons. And... More >>

| "Slow-Gin" John Colins | Second Thursday of every month, 9:00pm | Union Square/Financial District | |
Sloe gin is a liqueur made from gin, sloe berries, sugar, almond extract, and cloves. Slow-Gin, on the other hand, is one of San Francisco’s most chill DJ nights. Like its namesake, the event has a complex and subtle flavor; it’s composed of extracts from Blue Note classics, ’70s... More >>

| "Sucker-Punch" Underground SF | Every week Monday, 10:00pm | Haight/Fillmore | |
There is a world in which Mondays mean putting your best foot forward — waking up with a brisk jog around Twin Peaks, correctly buttoning your crispy-collared Brooks Brothers shirts down to the last hole. However, precious few of us inhabit this planet of stable weekday starts. For those... More >>
