Sick unintentional YOLO number plate

(Pretty sure it’s unintentional.) (They call them “number plates” in Australia.) (For lots more Aussie, see my handy guide.)

The final Black Jeans show, tonight at Haçeteria!

Haçeteria is always a killer party, but tonight is extra special because it is our last chance to see the great Black Jeans live on stage!

Russell Butler has been recording and performing under the moniker Black Jeans for the past 4 years. His sound pulls from various elements of minimal synth, electro, and techno while retaining a cathartic emotional core. Russell will be hanging up the Black Jeans handle with one final techno-infused live hardware set at the Haceteria, which will give a sense of some of the post-Black Jeans directions he is planning on heading in.

RSVP and invite your friends!

Drink of the Week: Monkey Monster, neat

You take a little bit of Monkey Shoulder and blend it with a little bit of Peat Monster and voila: Monkey Monster! It’s pretty good.

Biographical Info:

"I joked that living in the Mission would be the end of me. And there were nights where it felt like the case.

One night I went out with my friend Allan to the bar that no one goes to on 16th Street, where I lost half my drink and money on the dance floor. Later we skated down 16th to Evelyn Lee, where I fell off my board and landed on my head as the 22 bus sped past behind me. A sobering moment. At the bar, I sulked and nursed my wounds until Allan put on Amy Winehouse’s 'Valerie.' We danced, he dipped me, and I felt better."
