The Bay Bridged just published a sneak peek at the forthcoming new album by Still Flyin’. Here’s what they have to say:

Earnest indie rockers Still Flyin’ have released two new singles — “Travelin Man” and “Cleat Talking” — from their upcoming release On A Bedroom Wall, due out May 22.

“Cleat Talking” is a minimalist song revolving around a simple bass line and a sweet little chorus about Steven Hawking and changing the world.

With a twist on the opening line of an Allman Brothers classic (“Lord I was born a travelin’ man”), “Travelin Man” gently rocks as Still Flyin’ croon about love with a New Order touch.

New Order touch! Yes! Listen here.

An early heads-up: next Monday, the Roxie is screening the Monks movie! And it’s part of the still-kicking Save KUSF movement!

Now let’s listen to the Monks!

Take a break from grovelling about your busted brackets by belting out some tunes tonight at everyone’s favorite karaoke dance party, which is now every 2nd and 4th Monday at the Makeout Room!  Also, I’m trying to exercise some demons by singing that Gotye song that everyone’s been talking about lately since it has spent all last week HAUNTING THE FUCK out of me.  If you could be so kind as to leave that one for me, I’ll buy ya a drink!

RSVP and invite your friends here!

The Beijing Guitar Duo is playing for FREE tomorrow night, March 23rd at the Community Music Center on 544 Capp.

Watch as they shred circles around your 3 power chords with impeccable classical technique. See what tens of thousands of hours of practice and probable parental abuse can do. I wouldn’t wanna be caught in a hellish guitar duel for my soul with them, that’s for sure. Check ‘em out:

They start at 6pm.

Warm Leatherette is back at it again this evening at Sub-Mission with very special guest dj Sereina Winters of Brave Exhibitions Berlin. Regulars Justin, Riegler, Nihar, and Jason get the dans partie started. Let loose on the  floor as cold wave, minimal synth & generally dark tunes are spun. Doors at 10 pm.
