Cinco de Mayo Dance Jam at the Knockout with Myles, Primo and more

Myles you know from our favorite song ever and lots of viral videos and other weird projects, and Primo you know because we talk about his dance parties and other antics all the time, so if you want to dance the night away after one too many (and by that I mean two) LAC margaritas, the Knockout is the place to be tomorrow night.

RSVP and invite your friends!

Dolores Park in cartoon form

Looks pretty damn good! The artist’s name is Nidhi Chanani, and she just published this piece today. It doesn’t appear to be available in her online shop, but perhaps it will be soon, and in the meantime there are a number of other SF scenes on offer.

Mayor Ed Lee says SFPD tactics will change in light of Monday’s riot

CBS reports:

“The small business owners on Valencia have every right to be angry,” said San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee.

Now, Lee said talks are underway about possible new police tactics in the future.

“We won’t unveil those until the next time, but I think we’ll be adequately more ready,” he said. [link]

Sounds good I guess.

Local rock gods Battlehooch and B. Hamilton bring ungodly rock to Brick and Mortar Music Hall tonight

I mean all you need to know about Battlehooch is that their name is Battlehooch, am I right? And as far as B. Hamilton, their frontman is Ryan Christopher Parks AKA Ron Kristophone AKA one of the most foul-mouthed (and foul-souled) Mission Mission commenters ever.

RSVP and invite your friends!

A slice of Mission punk rock history

I’m afraid that in the wake of Monday night’s riot shitstorm, a lot of you might’ve missed out on this great piece our Nick Pal wrote about the new Hickey reissue:

Hickey was a band from the Mission in the 90’s that was the primary inspiration for the whole Mission punk scene of the late 90’s and early 00’s. I pretty much missed them entirely – I was still getting into music and probably at a Suicide Machines show at Slim’s around the time they were playing their last show. I did get ahold of their album at some point as well as a burned copy of Various States of Disrepair that I ripped from the KALX library on my first generation iBook. At some point I saw Matty Luv and possibly another member of Hickey play at Mission Records in an acoustic band called Me, You, and the Boys. All I distinctly remember was the closing refrain of the best song they played, “I’m higher than youuuuu are, I’m higher than youuuuu are.” Sadly, Matty Luv died a year or two later.

Read on for details on the reissue, including lots of pics. And read the comments too for the story of how Hickey famously pwned the Voodoo Glow Skulls.

La Rondalla returning ‘by June at the latest’

So says Eater SF, who also recently published this tiny picture of the restaurant’s progress. Read on.

RIP MCA

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."
