"The Ant Show’s 4th Annual Boxer Rebellion" Red Devil Lounge	Fri., May 9, 8:00pm	Nob Hill/Russian Hill	Music, Fashion
We had the privilege of sitting next to now-famous blogger Brock Keeling of SFist for a number of years when he was our clubs editor. So we can tell you authoritatively that he is stylish, sometimes cruelly so. Always subtle, sharp, and body-conscious, his clothing was better than ours, every day, as was... More>>

The B-52s, Eagle Seagull The Independent	Fri., May 9, 9:00pm	Haight/Fillmore
Funplex , the B-52s ’ first album in 16 years, pumps up the volume, cranks the guitars, and rocks harder than anything the group has done since its 1979 debut. There’s nothing here as sweet or as catchy as “Roam” or “Love Shack,” both of which made these unlikely new-wave... More>>

Glitch Mob, Flying Lotus, Lazer Sword, Shane King, Vagabond, Freddy Future, Joey Mousepad Mighty	Fri., May 9, 9:00pm	South of Market
The Glitch Mob — Los Angeles producers who individually go by Boreta, edIT, Kraddy, and Ooah — look unassuming enough standing behind their laptops. But their electro/hip-hop slicing and dicing is pure armed audio warfare, mixing original beats and productions with familiar rap vocals. The crew... More>>

Northern State, The Trucks, The Hot Toddies Café Du Nord	Fri., May 9, 8:30pm	Castro/Noe Valley
The latest release by Long Island ladies Northern State features a smart mélange of old-school hip-hop (think Public Enemy, whose Chuck D bestows props upon the trio), 1960s girl group harmonies, ’80s synth-pop, and rock ’n’ roll crunch. Listening to their third album Can I Keep... More>>

Atmosphere The Regency Center	Thu., May 8, 8:00pm (more dates/times)	Nob Hill/Russian Hill
On one hand, it shouldn’t be surprising that rapper Slug is insecure, considering he has a song called “They’re All Gonna Laugh at You,” and another that tells the fantastical story of a woman who would rather have sex with her own tattoos than with him. Still, as one half of... More>>

"Kick Out the Jams" The Luggage Store	Daily from Fri., May 9 until Sat., June 14	South of Market	Galleries, Free Events
We thought the prize for weirdest-named local artist went to Poopy Lickles, but here we've just learned about Butt Johnson. Ding ding ding! Trophy's all yours, Butt! Many other artists exhibit alongside Butt at "Kick Out the Jams," an exhibit curated by Hot & Cold zine editors Griffin McPartland and... More>>

"American Symbols: From Lady Liberty to the Stars and Stripes" Museum of Craft & Folk Art	Daily from Thu., May 8 until Sun., August 3	South of Market	Museums
Today, when the appearance of a flag pin can absorb an entire news cycle, it's good to remember people like William Ray, a Navy sailor who literally dipped himself in patriotic tattoos. Of course, that was in 1930, when unrepentant displays of American symbols didn't make one a de facto member of Hannity's... More>>

Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Screening Room	Daily from Thu., May 8 until Sat., May 10, 7:30pm	South of Market	Film - Art House, Film & Video
Wanna know about the best film you've probably never seen? Here's a tip: Put down that intellectually toxic Netflix DVD (particularly if it's the latest Judd Apatow)and get thee to your local art-house theatre. Soviet-Armenian filmmaker Sergei Parajanov's 1964 gem, Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors , is... More>>

Ashford & Simpson The Rrazz Room	Daily from Tue., May 6 until Sat., May 10, 8:00pm (more dates/times)	Union Square/Financial District	Music
As American songwriting teams go, Ashford & Simpson are classics, giants, heroes. Whether or not you can name the myriad hits produced, recorded, and written by this husband-and-wife pair, their silky voices undoubtedly live in your head — and you have danced to them, no matter who you are. "Ain't No... More>>
