THE RUMBLE: SAN FRANCICO TONIGHT @ HARLOT

THE RUMBLE: SAN FRANCISCO TURNS 2 YEARS OLD TONIGHT?

Two years???? WTF?

How did it happen? The little party meant to bring together the Bay area indie rock community lasted two years? It started as an indie dance party, then added one band each party, then up to two acts performing, and the future looks like three bands + DJ's.

Harlot has been great to THE RUMBLE: SAN FRANCISCO for two years and Jacek, you are the man for taking care of every band, DJ and Rumble attendee. Watch our for those bar stools late night Drunkula....

For the 2 year party we had to come up with the cream of the crop, and FITZ & THE TANTRUMS provide that very thing. Think HALL & OATES meets ROBERT PALMER meets THIN WHITE DUKE era-Bowie. Add a big splash of Motown and you're getting close to describing FITZ and his wrecking crew as they do the entire West Coast run of RUMBLE dates in October, from Seattle to now Las Vegas.

Listen to the entire Fitz & The Tantrums EP, "Songs For A Break-Up Vol. 1" at http://www.fitzandthetantrums.com

The Rumble: SF wouldn't be the Rumble: SF if it didn't spotlight a band from the Bay area that is also destined for greatness. This month our collective team of partners have cooked up the mighty MAN/MIRACLE from Oakland. You must hear their anthemic "Pushing and Shoving".

Need more? How about special guest DJ's like AARON AXELSEN from POPSCENE/LIVE 105 and DJ TOM THUMP, the guy that digs so deep in the crates his fingernails are black.
Couple those two with resident badasss, DJ BAGEL TED, and you've got yourself a celebration.

The party is FREE if you RSVP here
http://sonicliving.com/therumble23
It's $5 if that's not your thing and you like spending money.

Harlot is located at 46 Minna Street

ANNOUNCING THE RUMBLES FOR OCTOBER - FITZ & THE TANTRUMS - THE RUMBLE: VEGAS OPENS

The West Coast Rumble parties for October are set, and FITZ & THE TANTRUMS will be making the now 6 city run from Seattle to Las Vegas. That's right, Vegas opens on October 11th with our new partners NEON REVERB at THE ARUBA. Each cities line-up is hand picked and unique. October also represents our 2 year anniversary at HARLOT in San Francisco, so Fitz will be playing with upstarts MAN/MIRACLE and guest DJ's Aaron Axelsen and DJ Tom Thump.

These incredible posters were done by Ivan Minsloff.

TONIGHT @ HARLOT - THE RUMBLE: SAN FRANCISCO

The seven-piece dynamo that is UNITED STATE OF ELECTRONICA are driving through Weed, CA in a fury to reach San Francisco this evening after killing it in Portland last evening at The Rumble: Portland. Tonight they cram into Harlot for THE RUMBLE: SAN FRANCISCO and we're still not sure how they'll all fit, but they'll probably take over the dance floor as well in more ways than one. Joining them is the incredible sounds of PANCE PARTY, which you might as well call a dance party, because you add DJ AMPLIVE (Zion I) and DJ AARON AXELSEN (Popscene/Live 105) and you won't be able to sit down.

The party is FREE is you RSVP here >

If not, or if you wait until 5pm, it'll be $5. Money well spent for this line up.

TONIGHT IN SAN FRANCISCO - THE RUMBLE: SF - COMPANY OF THIEVES - A B & THE SEA

Rumblin' into night three of THE RUMBLE west coast run, we stop in San Francisco tonight at Harlot with COMPANY OF THIEVES and A B & THE SEA. San Francisco's A B & The Sea just played up in Portland at our Rumble warehouse party and they hijacked Evan and are spending quality time together in a van, watching Oregon and Northern California pass by the windows. Of course the mandatory stop in Weed, California for photos and spiritual uplifting is in order.
Company of Thieves just headlined Spaceland in LA this past weekend and are spending time in the bay and doing a mini-set at 11pm. Our guest DJ this month is Aaron Axelsen from Popscene and Live 105 FM. Everytime he's played with resident DJ, Bagel Ted (Bagel Radio),it's been memorable as they seem to bring out the very best in one another.
