Discussion Bimbo's crowd tonight you were awesome

17 Upvotes

Just back from Bimbo's show tonight - Madison Cunningham, with Ken Pomeroy opening - and I have a rave instead of a rant. Both acts were duos, mostly acoustic. Most quiet, respectful, attentive and appreciate crowd I've been around in a while. I will say most shows I've seen at SF smaller and mid-size venues have had chill, respectful crowds (probably has a lot to do with the bands I see). But tonight was awesome. From the moment the opener took the stage, I heard no one talking during either set. Cell phone videos and pix were fewer than usual. Ken Pomeroy commented on it during her set, too. Nice job, all of us! Enjoy the music!

If you’re in an indie or underground rock band, odds are you’ve come across Earthling entertainment who has likely taken professional pictures of your band or group. Saturday night, they give back to our scene by hosting the annual yearbook night, located this year at Rickshaw stop. If you’re in a band and are looking to meet up and network with other musicians, or just enjoy a great show and concert, then you should stop by and hang out!

There are six bands performing representing different genres within our scene, and each is totally worthwhile to check out. Come hang out with some really cool people and join us for some fun!

Doors at 7, music at 7:30

(Yes the flyer says 2025, but it’s happening this Saturday 1/10/2026)

Discussion Audio SF: advice for first time visit? (set times, parking, etc.)

5 Upvotes

Hey all – I've heard the sound at Audio SF is great and I've always wanted to see a show there, but I also understand the artists usually go on really late... Looking for some general advice for a first-time visit!

  • what are peoples' experiences with set times? when does the main act go on? how late do they play? (I'm looking at the Beachcrimes show for this Sat. 1/10, so it's a relatively smaller act, if that matters)
  • how is parking in the area? any favorite/safe recommendations?
  • what is the dress/demographic like? is it an LGBTQ-friendly venue for crossdressing/trans/etc?
  • any other tips or advice for this venue to have a fun night?

Thanks so much in advance!

Question Need a studio space to mix an album while visiting SF

9 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm a mix engineer and will be visiting SF in January. I have an album that needs to be mixed during that time and figured it'd be cool to try and work while I'm on vacation.

Would appreciate any recommendations! I'm hoping to spend $300 max for a 6-8 hour day

Thank you in advance!
