Bay Area Art & Music Picks for June 22-June 29
I've decided to start making regular picks of art and music shows in the Bay Area that I think are worth your time and money. I'll probably do these every two weeks on Wednesdays.
Hightower, S.T.R.E.E.T.S. (Vancouver) all ages at the Auto Gallery: 3223 Telegraph, Oakland.
Hightower are the Bay Area's reigning kings of Bay Area sludge metal. Their appeal goes beyond metalheads to punk rockers and skaters and their live shows are legendary. Catch them with Vancouver's S.T.R.E.E.T.S (which stands for Skating Totally Rules, Everything Else Totally Sucks and may be the best band name ever) whose brand of skate hardcore pleases the masses with songs like "Let's Get Rad." Plus, there's art by: art by: Faye Jaime, Billy Kroft, Tracy Timmins, Morgan Wick and Lisa Sussman.
