Amnesia will be hosting a strong local line up this weekend. San Francisco based Black Cobra Vipers will be headining the show, along with up and coming mover and shaker, Annie Lipetz' post shoegaze band, Annie Girl and the Flight and garage psych band, FpodBpod. We're excited to share the details of this event with you, because this is going to be an impressive show.

We totally recommend you make it out and support these hardworking local musical outfits, this Saturday, July 5th at Amnesia in San Francicso!

San Francisco based alternative pop rock band, Black Cobra Vipers, are performing live at Slim's in San Francisco with smoldering rising rock star, Reignwolf tonight. These band's explosive, dynamic and dramatic musical sound and presence are going to make for an amazing show. Do your best to make it out tonight. 

With Mac Demarco slithering onto the scene as some kind of hipster anti-sweetheart, I think it's safe to say slime is in. Slime is SF three-piece Black Cobra Vipers' main jam.

Of course, there's the name. I've taken a vow to start a band called Black Cobra Viper Anacondas someday.

They've got their self-proclaimed sound, "secret art sex," which, for lack of any better pigeonhole, works as well as any other; maybe something to do with yacht rock, or jazz, or lo-fi with a keyboard or something, I don't know. Sure, why not. Secret art sex it is.

Then, there's the lead singer's propensity for treating each note like a rubber band to be stretched and snapped and messed with—more pitch bends than pitches, and just about as emotive as it gets. It's really something to be reckoned with.

They put on a feverish show, and they're currently in the process of recording something, so keep your ears and schedules open. Also, they gave me some of my favorite interview responses to date.

I’ve got some free tickets coming your way for a show at Elbo Room on Nov. 28 featuring French Cassettes, Black Cobra Vipers, and the SF debut of Brolly.

The lineup has something for everyone—Brolly cools you down with introspective melody-centric pop (think Coldplay and Death Cab); French Cassettes warms you up with impossibly infectious, sunny grooves; and Black Cobra Vipers shakes you around with swooning vocals, and art funk flavors.

The two pairs of tickets are courtesy of Bourgeois Productions and event sponsors Faultline Studios. If you want them, send me an email at thedelisf@gmail.com, and I’ll draw the winners at random. Hint: dates are expensive, and this is some prime, date-worthy real estate.
