In case you didn’t notice, the big beats being dropped last night at the ping pong block party came courtesy of the Haçeteria crew. They’ve held it down at several ping pong events now, and their sets have been uniformly bangin’.

They have their own night once a month at Deco Lounge on Larkin (just down the block from Saigon Sandwich), and it is also bangin’. Tonight they celebrate their one-year anniversary with a special guest live set from C.L.A.W.S. AKA Can’t Live Anywhere Without Sandwiches (best acronym ever, right?) AKA Brian Hock AKA the drummer from Bronze AKA former member of the Vanishing. Here’s a free sample:

Cave-in (night dubbin) (discaire 002) by c.l.a.w.s.

And here’s a standout track from last night’s Haçeteria set at Coffee Bar:

First they lip synced and did some synchronized dance moves. Then they sashayed down the sidewalk, vamping and lip syncing some more:

I got kind of a South African Rod Stewart or Dutch Wham! vibe from the whole thing. In other words, it was the highlight of my day.

Ann Magnuson! Performing as David Bowie! This Thursday evening at SFMOMA! SFMOMA explains:

Magnuson is a performance artist, musician, and actress who defined 1980s downtown New York, marked college radio with her band Bongwater, and has graced everything from TV to Hollywood blockbuster thrillers. In her new tribute cabaret, she nods to Bowie with a song cycle of his early 1970s work. With musical direction by Kristian Hoffman, the performance gains power as Magnuson embodies Jobriath, the only openly gay star of the glam rock revolution. The performance also will incorporate dreams, Jung, human sacrifice, Aztec shamanism, and all things dark, bloody, and beautiful. Also, Blue Bottle Coffee and SFMOMA continue their BANQUET series on the Rooftop Garden.

Read on for costume contest details and more, and then RSVP and invite your friends!

RSVP and invite your friends! ”It’s nineteen-ninety-fo’!”

Our budday Malcolm, a connoisseur of all things Balkan, fills us in:

The great Mano Cherga Band plays tonight with Chervona, Makru Musica and DJ Zlejko from Kafana Balkan (late night set 1AM-close). For those of you who’ve yet to see Mano Cherga, this Serbo-Gypsy five-piece has the power to transform any venue into the homemade-vodkanol-fueled rural Balkan Wedding of the Year, 1990. You become the too-young sweaty groom; she becomes the too-young sweaty bride. Chances are she is a lovely link in the fairy circle of scarf dancing girls that seems to spring up wherever these fellows play. You have your whole lives ahead of you! Tonight the floorboards will leap, the chandeliers will swing, and temblors will pass unnoticed!

In! RSVP and invite your friends!

When I first saw this picture I thought Primo was straight PHASE SHIFTING in ‘n’ out of various extra-nasty dimensions or something, but it turns out maybe he’s just a ghost. Ghost Primo! Tonight at the Knockout! Here’s the official poster:

Oh, that’s right! Our pal Wam Bam Ashleyanne special guests tonight! She WILL bring the nasty.
