has the rock bar reshuffled the juke box recently? just curious since it seems like it’s the same selections as when they opened (some years ago), which isn’t a bad thing cause the music is very good, but variety is also nice…

I prefer “Body and Soul” to “Atomic Bomb”.

The Warfield show was a cavalcade of STARS!! It was really really good.

The best concert you’ve seen all 20 days of this year? Stop the presses!

yes, the Atomic Bomb concert at the Warfield in may was amazing, one of the best shows I went to in 2014. great to see a legend like David Byrne again and the rest of the artists on the bill delivered. Onyeabor’s music is relentlessly awesome and his back story is interesting. take a look at the New Yorker article about him from last year.

It’s a David Byrne project.

They played the Warfield last May, so not sure if and when they’ll be back around to San Francisco again…
