Badass!

Every Thursday, the cool kids from BFF.fm radio station in the mission step out from behind the studio and come out to take over the DJ booth at Pops. By stopping in for a drink, you’re helping to support community radio.

BFF.fm- Best Frequencies Forever is a San Francisco-based community radio station run by a volunteer staff of music nerds who love independent music and are hell-bent on delivering radio programming that doesn’t suck. Their mission is to support emerging and underground artists and bring the Bay Area music scene to the world through the magic of Internet radio.

BFF.fm is bursting at the seams, and needs your help to take their independent radio station to the next level with a second studio: more shows, more events, more fun — even BETTER Frequencies Forever.

Check out their kickstarter campaign to get involved.

Longtime Mission Mission contributor (and originator of our occasional Drink of the Week series) Nick Pal has started anew as a DJ instead of a blogger. He hosts four different shows on BFF on Sunday afternoons, and he does this happy hour gig every first Wednesday at Pop’s.

Last first Wednesday, Nick Pal played a lot of great short rock ‘n’ roll songs, from the ’70s, ’80s, ’90s, ’00s and maybe the ’10s too, including this jam:

See y’all tonight!

After taking the world by storm back in 2011, local band Dominant Legs played one last show and then I guess disappeared? Well here’s an update:

Now let’s listen to the song that defined the Summer of 2011 in San Francisco, their unforgettable single ”Hoop of Love” (the video is really good too):

(Thanks, Lizzy!)

UPDATE: Here’s a new demo, released just a couple months ago…

I woke up just now with this banger stuck in my head. Enjoy:

The Dukes of Hamburg play every now and then at the Knockout, usually at a “Teenage Dance Craze” party, and it is always a memorable show.

This week we ask you to take one for the team and drink for a cause! All week long as part of Negroni Week you can drink to benefit Galeria de la Raza art gallery and community space in the mission. Pop’s Bar introduces the NEGRONITO shot: Navy strength gin lends backbone to this bittersweet shooter. Enter Campari, Dolin Rouge, and Regan’s Orange Bitters, mixed and chilled to full strength. Unshaken, unstirred, unapolagetic. Hey, it’s for a good cause! So down the shot and ease the soul with a chili salt seasoned orange slice, knowing it supports Galeria de la Raza. $6 Negronito Shot available June 1st-June 7th.

Calling all aspiring DJs! Have you heard about Whatever Wednesdays at Pops? It’s your party…LITERALLY. Have an idea for a great party or event at Pops Bar? Want to show off your skills to your friends? Send us your ideas and your best mix, and we’ll work to get you your very own DJ night in San Francisco. That’s nothing to sneeze at!

We tried to get tickets, but it sold out in 5 seconds. Green Day’s first show at Gilman, their original home, in over 2 decades. (Bands on major labels are not allowed to play at Gilman, but a one-time exception was made because this was a benefit show.) This is just a 20-second highlight, but there’s a lot more if you google it:

We’re excited to welcome back Fringe DJs Blondie K & subOctave this Saturday! Fringe recently won BEST DANCE PARTY in SFWeekly. Having a residency at Madrone Art Bar for the past 6 years, they have also been dropping in Pops Bar to bring their indie music video dance party to the mission with FringePop.
