Gomorrans Record release dance party extravaganza!

THE GOMORRAN SOCIAL AID AND PLEASURE CLUB is having an album release party Friday, August 14th at the Bottom of the Hill (1233 17th St. San Francisco).

Come hear the Right Reverend Ryan Beebe blister the walls of penitence on the banjo and megaphone, "Luke 4:38" Kirley heal the sober on tuba, Scott "Sinner-no-more" Knipplemeir play down the rosary on trombone, Thomas "Aquinetist" Lenhartz get all up in your "summa" on clarinet, and Reid Gotdamn Davis whoop Gabriel's ass on the trumpet. "San Franciscan- Waitsian-New Orleans-Swing-Swagger-and Sweat" at its finest! 

Sharing the stage also be KHI DARAG!, the mini orchestra that plays what has best been described as a macabre psychedelic rock soundtrack to a late 60's Farsi-dubbed Cambodian espionage suspense erotic thriller comedy that was never made. Getting things going will the virtuosic stylings of the cult central valley troubadour BRIAN KENNEY FRESNO, who with his 10-string Warr guitar in hand, is a one man show bringing people raisins & demented tales. Also the Last Night's Fling All-star Burlesque and DJ K-Tel.

Be the first audiophile / hipster weirdo / luddite / vinyl aficionado on your block to get the Gomorrans new LP! Booze it up and dig the sounds.

Mishap Pick of the Week! Fat Tuesday Celebration at the Make-Out Room With The Gomorran Social Aid and Pleasure Club

Tuesday February 24th, The Make Out Room, 22nd & Mission, 8:30 PM $10

Zoyres, The Gomorran Social Aid and Pleasure Club, Damon & The Heathens

Mardi Gras celebrations all over the world traditionally culminate on Fat Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday (the name Mardi Gras actually means Fat Tuesday as it turns out). From what I understand the idea is to get all your sinning out before Lent when you have to give everything up.

Who better to celebrate this day of decadence with than The Gomorran Social Aid and Pleasure Club? After all, they take the second part of their name from the societies of people who build Mardi Gras floats for New Orleans-groups who call themselves “Social Aid and Pleasure Clubs”, and they know a thing or two about getting the sinning started!

Of course anyone who’s seen the Gomorrans before knows that they’re more then just a great Mardi Gras band. Blending elements of Vaudeville, Motown, freak-out psychedelia and a New Orleans funeral you’ll be kicking yourself all through Lent if you miss their return to San Francisco's Make-Out Room. A generous helping of righteous hokum guaranteed!

Also playing that night, Zoyres Eastern European Wild Ferment will help you get all your sins out the traditional Eastern European way with their unique take on that region's music. And for the heathens in the bunch who just want to drink away there nihilism, there’s the horn-filled soul jazz apocalypse of Damon and Heathens.

A night to remember… or forget if you do it right.

Good Riddance George W. Bush! Party Friday, Jan. 23rd with the Missing Teens!

Hey, anyone remember that George W. Bush guy? You know, the dude who stole a national election, bombed the Chinese embassy, used the largest attack on US soil in over 200 years to silence his political opponents at home and launch a spree of deregulation and an avalanche of no-bid contracts to assorted cronies? Who started a foreign war on false pretenses? Who presided over the destruction of a major US city and port? Who attempted to privatize the life-long promised federal pension every retired American is supposed to receive?

Yeah, that guy. We'll be celebrating his departure from the White House and wishing Mr. Barack Obama well as he faces two wars, a crushing depression, a massive deficit, political opposition in the Senate, our friend global warming, and of course, an old favorite, the Israel/Palestinian conflict, on Friday, January 23rd, for FREE, at the Village Lantern, with live music and much partying.

Come join us with BLIMINAL and ESTELLA at 9:30pm on Friday Jan. 23rd at the VL (167 Bleecker St @ Sullivan). 21+. Bring your shoes! (Hope you guys got that one...)

Also: Valentine's Day got you down? You are not alone. Join the Missing Teens at the Annex on Feb. 16th to commiserate. With, of course, live muzak.
