Clear Some Space Out So We Can Space Out

I went and saw Portugal. The Man for a third time a couple weeks ago at the Rickshaw Stop here in San Francisco.  Sweet venue, great band, no complaints.

Aside from a couple DJs, the openers were a band called White Arrows, a group of long-haired twenty-somethings donned in Hawaiian shirts.  Currently, they only have one EP out, which is appropriately titled 'White Arrows - EP'.  However, I have a feeling we'll be hearing more from them in the months to come.



Additionally, today marked the unveiling of the lineup for San Francisco's Treasure Island Music Festival.  Overall, the lineup looks pretty promising.  One inclusion I'm excited for is Shabazz Palaces, an electro-hip-hop group from Seattle.

And another one:



The group's full-length debut, "Black Up" is available now, and the beats are ridiculous.
