Happy New Year! To help you ring in 2016, we’ve got some Bay Area rap, experimental techno, throwback ska, and more. If none of this appeals to you, we also have many more shows on our complete music calendar.
THURSDAY
G-Eazy, A$AP Ferg
“Inexplicably, Bay Area bro G-Eazy continues to book openers far more talented than he. Last time he was in town, it was E-40; this time, it’s A$AP Squad standout A$AP Ferg, whose work, while uneven, is consistently more interesting than that of label mate Rocky. “Shabba” and “Hood Pope” alone proved that Ferg’s got the pop sensibilities to match his trap mentality, to thrilling results.” -Kyle Fleck
Dead Tosa
“New Hampshire’s Dead Tosa creates chilly, desolate ambient music and Labradford-esque post rock that could soundtrack lonely walks on winter nights in the extreme Northeastern US. We’ve no shortage of drone-esseurs in this country, but Dead Tosa is a new name (to me, at least) who deserves serious headphone time.” -Dave Segal
