Big band Brooklynites Rubblebucket sold out the Bowery Ballroom this past Saturday night, and though they haven’t quite broken into the mainstream scene, their constant touring schedule and years of festival appearances make them a pretty well known name in every scene they fit with. From jam to funk to indie to trance, these young musicians bring a whole new musical perspective to melding influences. READ MORE

Post image for REVIEW (via @coventrymusic): Karl Denson’s Sticky Fingers @ The Indy, SF 10/21/11
Karl Denson's Tiny Universe arrived in San Francisco for a two night run at the Independent (one of three venues, the Boom Boom Room and the Fillmore are the other two) less than a 15-minute walk from my apartment in Lower Pacific Heights, so my girlfriend and I were eager to see a show so close by without having to worry about buzzed driving and finding a parking space. One of the primary reasons we moved to San Francisco was to soak up the juicy music scene -- especially shows within walking distance from our couch. Last weekend we caught Denver's own Juno What at the Boom Boom Room, and this weekend we were pumped to catch a special performance from Karl Denson.

We had a few friends on hand covering the festival and we’ve got a few shots from Matt Manzano’s amazing set to share to start off some of the roundup.

Our friend Derek McCabe was at all three nights of at just a week and a half ago now, and his photo galleries from the show came out incredible. Musically the band was pulling out some of the stops that the venue’s storied heritage absolutely demanded, with Chris Robinson joining the band for a few tunes on the first night of the run.

Sure, we know it’s Monday and we’ve already officially started a new week here at LMB HQ, but we also needed a proper wrap-up on the festivities and celebrations surrounding last week here on the site. It was Wes that threw the idea out and I had tons of friends get interested in it, so much so that we had tons of contributions that you may have missed. For all of our posts, make sure you hit this page here and go back in time with it.

And as an editorial outtro and official closer on the week, my good friend Jackson Haddad (of One Way Station) wrote up this amazing piece of how their music affected him growing up… READ MORE
