Release party this Saturday for local band that wrote viral hit about Isaac Fitzgerald

It’s The Yellow Dress! Here’s the deal:

We’ve been working on our new album, “Faint Music//Ordinary Light” for the better part of a year now, and at last at last it is done! Recorded and mixed to tape at Tiny Telephone Studios and featuring the band in full 8 member formation, we couldn’t be prouder of the results. Come celebrate with us at the Rickshaw Stop, a venue most near and dear to us, Saturday January 4th and delay the crushing cold and darkness of winter one week further.

Rickshaw Stop’s 10th Anniversary Party starring YACHT, Mikal Cronin, the Spits and more!

Can you believe Rickshaw Stop is 10 years old??? Seems like only yesterday it was the upstart new kid on the block, and now it’s an established, respected, totally awesome rock club that regularly hosts your favorite bands and dance parties and talks and R. Kelly sing-alongs.

To celebrate the milestone, they’ve put together this killer lineup of bands for a little anniversary mini-festival. Tickets to Geographer are already sold out, but a weeklong pass will still get you in. Cannot WAIT to see YACHT again. Also, how sick is the rock ‘n’ roll one-two (-three-four-five-six) punch of the Tuesday and Wednesday lineups?? In any case, act fast if you wanna score tix before more sellouts.

Very important question

Tamale Lady, the restaurant, coming soon for real!

It took a lot of political willpower, apparently, but it’s happening! Mission Local reports:

Nate Albee, legislative aide to Supervisor David Campos, confirmed the details to Mission Local Monday.

“It will be her very own place,” Albee says. “We pulled out all the stops, and it took six months, but we found a place.”

Campos told us about the 16th and Mission location in a text message last week, which Albee says was going to be a secret until they signed the lease and had a press conference likely in January. “He was not supposed to tell anyone that,” Albee sighed. “Oh, David.”

And it looks like they’ll have beer! Might never have to go to Zeitgeist again! (Just kidding.) Read on for lots more info.
