9/15: Yamamoto Seiichi, Suishou no Fune, Wooden Shjips




For those in the San Francisco area, attention please! I'm extremely excited to be presenting a very special show this coming Saturday night, at Bottom of the Hill. Legendary guitarist Yamamoto Seiichi is coming from Kyoto to play one and only one solo performance in the U.S., and we're the lucky winners. The leader of Rovo, Omoide Hatoba, Rashinban, and many other bands, not to mention of course ex-guitarist for the Boredoms, Yamamoto is indeed a living legend in the Kansai area of Japan as godfather to the indie scene. He'll be playing a special solo guitar "noise machine" performance, he says. Tokyo's Suishou no Fune come back for their second appearance here, this time with local drummer Mike Shoun joining the core duo of guitarists Pirako and Kageo. Their deep, dark psych-drone is an intense thing live. And SF's own Wooden Shjips bring their own brand of psych-rock as well, making this a well-rounded, excited evening. Don't miss it!

It all goes down Saturday, Sept 15, 2007 at Bottom of the Hill. Doors around 8:30. Check out the Bottom of the Hill website for more info.
