A handful of Bay Area based bands are making their way to Berkeley to play the local rock venue, 924 Gillman TONIGHT. A massive line up of bands from San Francisco and East Bay are getting together to put on a solid all ages party.

Soulful orchestral math pop band, Our Brother The Native, world dance psych band, Talk of Shamans, darkwave dream pop outfit, Balms along with Los Angeles based drum machine shoegaze group, Emotional, the teen bedroom psychedelic band, Clumsy Concentration and Seattle based band, Expired Logic will cram themselves together on this massive bill for a long night of underground rock in Berkeley.

If you want to do something different this weekend, make your way out to the East Bay at 924 Gillman and experience a long, full night of local music!

There is an exciting local show coming up TONIGHT. San Francisco based music venue, Bottom of the Hill will be hosting a night of local alternative rock with Punisher, The Twitches, Clumsy Concentration and False Priest.

Full on local shows are so rare to find (Punisher has recently moved to Oregon, but their hometown is San Francisco), so it's nice to see the music community coming together as a full line up.

Clumsy Concentration is a hardworking teenage band making their way up the local music ranks. They'll probably find moderate success before they can drive a car or drink. Shout out to the cool parents who support them! Punisher is a garage pop band who, as mentioned, are traveling down south from Eugene, Oregon to return to their Bay Area roots to play this gig. The Twitches is a slightly eerie pop alternative band. Their music is fast paced and will have you shuffling around the dance floor! False Priest is an established Bay Area band whose music goes from being heavy and grungy to minimal and anti folk. Their eclectic style is fun and interesting, and their lyrics are super dark and ironic. We like it!

You won't want to miss this show!

Congratulations to Oakland bedroom psych band, Clumsy Concentration, for winning The Deli Magazine San Francisco's Artist of the Month Poll! Clumsy Concentration won over readers with their hazy-sounding style of acoustic psych. Be sure to check out their music!!! We're happy about their success and wish them the best of luck in their future endeavors!

Did you ever find yourself pondering why there weren't enough psych bands in San Francisco? Of course you didn't, because the Bay Area is home to many psych bands, such as The Electric Magpie, who will be playing a show tonight. Playing at SUB/Mission, they will be bringing along fellow Bay Area bands, Talk of Shamans, JAM and Clumsy Concentration.

Playing first is Clumsy Concentration, a self-proclaimed "bedroom psych" project from Oakland. As what seems to be an acoustic act, they play hazy-sounding psych rock. JAM picks up the pace a bit. This San francisco-based psych band, composes instrumentals reminiscent of James Brown, and vocals that are pure, unadulterated psych rock. Performing after is Talk of Shamans, a San Francisco band hellbent on combining popgaze, psych and indie. Be sure to check out their track "Starecase", an up-tempo diddy with intricate guitar riffs that border on math rock.

And closing the night is Bay Area based band, The Electric Magpie. This band offers a blend of '60s psych rock and mod. Be sure to keep an eye out for their debut LP, Begins which will be released on Lollipop Records on April 15th. In the meantime, you can listen to a single they debuted last month called "Mourning Gloria." -Erin Dage
