Lots to hear this weekend – including a petite DJ set by yours truly today at 3 p.m. on KUSF. Justice, El-P, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Money Mark, Besnard Lakes, Swan Island – but right I’m thinking Birds of Avalon sound pretty swell.
Onetime Cherry Valence-rs Cheetie Kumar and Paul Siler got married and busted up the Cherry and put together this hard-rockin’ ensemble with the Weather’s Craig Tilley. Psych, prog, Sabbath? See what I mean. Their first album, Bazaar Bazaar (Volcom), was co-produced by Mitch Easter and the combo is touring with Fucking Champs when they’re not here, playing with Total BS and Mantles at Hemlock Tavern, SF. It’s Saturday, March 24, 9:30 p.m., and 7 bucks, buckeroo.
