An all-female Bay Area based line up will be supporting Santa Barbara's Rainbow Girls at the Fillmore in San Francisco on January 31st. For the first time, the Fillmore will host a line up of all women led bands. The Oakland based surf pop band The Hot Toddies along with San Francisco's leading riot grrrl rock ensenble, The She's and the Bay Area based singer/songwriter, Kendra McKinley will be taking over the venue while playing their ecclectic styles of music.

It's great to see that there's always something groundbreaking going on in the local music scene. You can't say you'll ever be bored on a random night in the Bay Area. Make sure you go out and support these hardworking bands!

Brick and Mortar Music Hall will be hosting a show in celebration of Tricycle Records most recent compilation, Friends of Tricycle Records vol. III TONIGHT. The Hot Toddies are an all female band that combines the styles of sunshine pop vocals and indie rock distorted riffs into one great package of addictive sounds. The Tambo Rays bring a fresh twist to the cliché indie genre, bringing a mixture of female and male vocals, a tasteful amount of vocal delay, and a truly danceable sound. Kill Moi brings some fun instruments to the night, including an amazingly incorporated horn section, as well as a taste of indie alternative rock to the night. Odd Owl brings a bigger dance feel tonight, taking on a lighter indie sound but with a contagious rhythm. Lastly, booty house duo BLAUS will be filling in the night with a DJ set of their newest tunes from their album “Black + White”. 

This show is jammed full of good music from a number of different genres – which we really like. Don’t miss out! -Victor Casillas Valle
