Who’s in Town!? Not to miss shows in… SF!
I hope the previous 11 months have given you enough time to warm up… cause it’s time to dance the month away at some of these hot live events in December!
12/2 – Sticky K, Pance Party @ Vessel
Pance Party makes any dance floor you’ve been on seem like a high school gym. These elctro dance champs make face-melting remixes of the likes of the Presets, in addition to producing their own speaker-ripping beats that will shake your body into uncontrollable dance mode. One word summary: BANGERS. This DJ trio is going places, so make Vessel your Wednesday destination.
Also, I’ve not yet witnessed his widely heralded beats, but I would stick around for the (21-year old!) dub prodigy headliner, Sticky K. If Crookers is dropping his remixes… yeah, you should be excited.
12/4 – The Toxic Avenger, Designer Drugs @ The Westin St. Francis
As the event title says… oh snap! Get out your fancy dance shoes: The Westin will be subjecting its Grand Ballroom to an electronic dance event… Can’t wait to see the look on this 4-star hotel’s guests when some 1500 glowing ravers come dancing through the doors. Anyway, having seen Designer Drugs earlier this year, I would recommend REMEMBERING TO BREATHE because these DJs are some super high-energy fun. The same goes for the Toxic Avenger. This show looks to be a proper treat.
12/10 – The Gossip, Passion Pit (DJ Sets) @ 330 Ritch
Holy cow! I caught Shuttle (Nate Donmoyer, Drummer of Passion Pit) at Club 222 after Treasure Island Music Fest, and man, what a party. He delivers HARD and heavy bass over dreamy synths from the likes of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Phoenix, the result of which is beautiful and electrifying. Coupled with Popscene’s intimate and bass-heavy venue (330 Ritch), this event is guaranteed to be a steamy sweaty dance mess. Should not be missed, but leave your winter jacket in the car.
12/10 – The Gossip, Passion Pit, Hey Champ (Live) @ Mezzanine
That’s right, apparently these guys are also playing their normal live sets at Mezzanine on the same night, leaving you with a pretty difficult choice, but the ticket prices may help you decide. If you do end up going to Mezzanine, be sure to get there for Hey Champ, they’re like a splice of Cut Copy and Hot Chip.
12/11 – Not So Silent Night featuring Muse, Vampire Weekend, Metric @ Oracle Arena
Too bad this sold out in like 5 minutes. Luckily we still have links to plenty of tickets at Bandsintown!
12/11 – Fedde Le Grand @ The Regency Center
Throw back! Get ready to put your hands up for Detroit I mean SF! Ok, Fedde Le Grand may be old school, but check out his new album Output (hence the tour) because it’s also kind of good.
12/18 – Dj Dan, Steve Aoki @ The Regency Center
Hand-banging, feet-stomping, arms-in-the-air to catch that long-haired Asian dude diving off stage – expect to find yourself doing all of these as celebrity DJ Steve Aoki drops his party rocking beats. Don’t mind his screaming, it’s all part of the fun.
12/31 – Cedric Gervais @ Vessel
So there are a lot of New Years Eve parties out there, but this one caught my eye. Word on the street is Cedric Gervais was the youngest resident DJ ever at Paris’s legendary Club Queen at the age of only 13. Since then, he’s moved to Miami where he has made a name for himself for his captivating hard, tribal house music that sounds akin to a blend of Deadmau5 and Benny Bennassi. Look into the event here!
