The weekend of August 28-30 is shaping up to be a veritable music bonanza.  Organizers of San Francisco’s Outside Lands Festival have announced a series of night shows for those who just can’t get enough live music that weekend (or who don’t take well to crowds.) The night show series will take place at three fine San Francisco venues: The Independent, Mezzanine, and Rickshaw Stop and will feature a tasty line up of artists such as Calexico, Conor Oberst, The Dodos, The Dirtbombs, Ty Segall, Gang Gang Dance and more.

For the full line up and schedule, click here. Tickets go on sale at 10AM today! Calexico at The Independent? I’m on it.

Free EP Download: The Grizzly Owls

The Grizzly Owls, “Save My Soul, Conquistador”

The Bakersfield-based husband and wife duo calling themselves The Grizzly Owls are offering their latest EP “I Am A Shootist” for free download from their website. Their sound is distinctly Western noir – desolate, lonely yet beautiful at the same time (think Calexico, but with a female lead). And after reading their bio it completely made sense. The pair were inspired by their grandparent’s journey from Oklahoma to Bakersfield, California during the great Dust Bowl migration, 1960s spaghetti westerns, and David Lynch soundtracks.

Enjoy.
