The beginning of a whole new era! DJ Purple ended his years-long tenure at Jack’s a couple weeks back. (Great pics here.) And now he’s debuting a new weekly, every Thursday at Slate, which is a bigger space with a bigger soundsystem and a bigger dance floor. I think this is gonna be big.

If you haven’t been to a DJ Purple event in a while, read all about the DANCE KARAOKE concept in our exclusive interview from a few months back.

RSVP and invite your friends! (And go to Purple’s website to peruse the songbook.)

Sébastien Giniaux, one of the greatest guitarists in the world, will be playing at the Rite Spot Cafe. If you missed him last year when he came around, man did you ever miss out. Someone got so psyched during his set that he literally flipped–as in did a front flip in a crowded-ass Revolution Cafe. Actually, it was pretty terrifying and I hope that doesn’t happen again, but I’m sure you can think of plenty of other safe ways to show your approval.

He’s visiting from Paris where Django Reinhardt’s Gypsy Jazz music is a way of life, and Sébastien is considered one of the best purveyors of his musical legacy. He will blow your mind with his endless creativity and dazzling technique.

“Well why isn’t he playing Yoshi’s or something?” you ask. Well, he’s TOO GOOD FOR YOSHI’S. Sure, you can go there if you wanna sit with some grey-haired folks out for their monthly let’s-see-some-jazz-honey night on the town. Order some expensive drinks, stroke your chin and grunt with approval in hushed tones if that’s your thing. Or go to the Mission where the best jazz is happening.

Anyway, go to the Rite Spot Cafe tonight from 9pm-11pm. No cover, but bring some tips for the guy. He’s French. Wine and cheese is expensive.

American Tripps was born here in the Mission, but it’s been away for a while. Here’s the deal:

Before winter gets fully upon us, we figured we’d better throw one last Saturday-afternoon back-patio party! And lucky us, we got the world-famous Wam Bam Ashleyanne (http://wambamashleyanne.com/) back to spin us some soul records!

We’ll have El Rio all to ourselves, with Berlin-style ping pong in the main room, out on the back patio AND in the concert hall! Rocky slingin’ frybread too, so bring your appetites!
