Join us this Tuesday at FDR for a live music trivia event! In this new twist on pub trivia, your host (local musician Dante Ricci) will guide you through three rounds of music-based questions that will put your knowledge of bands/artists, TV theme songs, movie soundtracks, and pop culture to the test. Dante will provide the music - your job is to answer questions, win prizes, and drink fantastic beer! Stick around after the quiz when Dante will keep the fun going by playing your requests.
Dante was the lead guitarist for the NJ-based band Noah's Arcade and has performed with regional groups The Rearrangement, Some Assembly Required, the Jon Lall Band, Geneva & the Conventions, and the one-night-only blues spectacular known as Fake ID. He was a musician in residence at Winberie’s in the heart of Princeton, NJ, and has been performing solo or with bands at bars, coffeeshops, restaurants, breweries, and weddings for the past 15 years. He loves nothing more than to entertain song requests, and he may even let you sing one if you know the words and you're bigger than him (which you probably are).
The Yuletide Repair Kit was launched in 2003 by guitarists Brian and Andrew Saxon, drummer John Ellis, bassist Chris Sheldon and singers Jester Banks and Nat Bigger. The purpose of the Yuletide Repair Kit is to electromagnetically bring forth the joys of the holiday season to the weary, forlorn, and downright dubious populace. Inspired by vintage tremolo, fuzz guitar, and a low-fi aesthetic, the Yuletide Repair Kit recorded all of their songs in a garage in San Francisco. The Yuletide Repair Kit uses old Musicman Amps and Fender guitars exclusively.
Yuletide Repair Kit's album, Holiday Lo-Fi is available for download on itunes and Spotify.

Consisting of an author, a videographer, and an audio engineer, the three members of Bay Area ensemble AKES take their music into their own hands; Joe DeMars (bass), Jack Hogan (guitar), Nick Cafiero (electric ukulele/vocals) —handle nearly every aspect of their creative lives in house. They are dedicated students of their craft from the gear they play to the music that influences them.
That mindset is a fitting accompaniment to their heady sound. Taking inspiration from the post-punk scenes in the U.K. and U.S. where dozens of bands allowed themselves the freedom to mash up instrumentation and musical textures, AKES winds in the sounds of synthesizers, sequencers, and drum machines into already finely honed material cut from pop/rock cloth. These sounds are the beginnings of a new creative regime for a band that has already been wowing audiences in and around their Bay Area scene.
New single Friend A is a perfect stepping stone connecting the group’s past and future. With a title that references those literally nameless figures that fill out the cast list of major motion pictures, this scintillating slow burn calls out the hangers on of the social media age, who attempt to draft off the energy of someone else’s tragic loss and claim it as their own. It’s a potent message given extra power through AKES’ blend of Afrobeat, burbling electronica, and heartfelt pop.
The Western Nephews are five residents of San Francisco who stumbled into existence in 2017 in various subterranean, poorly ventilated rehearsal rooms around the city. They brought with them a love of Exile-era Stones coupled with the DIY ethos and sound of early American punk rock. They played their first show at San Francisco’s Hotel Utah in November of 2017, then promptly lost a guitar player to the threat of divorce.
The following month, Kevin Phillips (Guitar) joined Brian Escobar (Guitar) as the architects of the band’s guitar-driven sound, filled out by Evan Meagher (Vocals, Harmonica), Alan Hord (Bass) and John McCain (Drums) and they never looked back. Their smoldering and swampy sound ferments equal parts studied chops and sudden childlike chaos infused with wry, cynical lyrics that reflect the mercurial urban landscape that birthed them. They come at you hard and fast and loud, out of tortured speakers that have something to say and don’t particularly care what you think.
The band self-recorded basic tracks for their debut digital EP - American Standard - on Cinco de Mayo 2018 at their aboveground SF rehearsal studio. Throughout May, additional recording and mixing was done at Escobar’s Sunset Tamales studio.
American Standard was released to the internet on Father’s Day, June 17 at roughy 10 PM PST.

The Jazz Beaus have been playing together for about two years, but the members have all been playing the music we love for much longer than that. All together, we have about 150 years of experience in this band. It’s been said that jazz is meant to be a joyful experience. Exactly how we feel. Yes, we’re serious about the music, and about respect for its traditions, our distinguished forebears and all that. But damn it, this stuff is supposed to be fun, and with the Jazz Beaus, that’s our goal. Fun for us, and fun for the audience.

Join us for a festive evening of Hanukkah, Klezmer, and Christmas music performed by accordion virtuoso Aaron Seeman and friends.
Aaron Seeman's onslaught of solo accordion and vocals has astounded audiences of all shapes and sizes. Maximum Rock 'n Roll, the premier punk magazine, pronounced him "over the top!" for his note-for-note renditions of the entire first Dead Kennedys album, Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables. His repertoire also includes, but is not limited to, 70's rock, Broadway, klezmer, classical, country, Sousa marches, punk rock, and even a polka or two.
Rather than play hokey accordion versions of these songs, Duckman/Seeman seeks to demonstrate that accordion and vocals alone can evoke the spirit of the song, whether the hard driving rock of AC/DC, the wide vocal range and sonic landscape of Boston, or the supersonic speeds and driving force of Dead Kennedys, or favorite holiday classics.
The Inconvenient Jazz Quintet plays standards spanning the Great American Songbook, bop, and jazz fusion. The band consists of Griffin Barbula (sax), Sam Fahlberg (trumpet), Chris Jordan (drums), Matt Ridgway (bass) and Gram Aguas (guitar) . They’re on a mission to keep it hep.
Shivoo means "a boistrous party or celebration" ... and is also an original Funk-Groove- Jazz-Jam band based in Redwood City, California featuring Nate Steffen (keyboards, vocals), Zeke Edwards (guitar), Nick Winkworth (bass) and Jamin Bracken (Drums).
Shivoo brings together four veteran musicians, all with experience playing in bands across the country and around the Bay Area. Each brings a different musical background to the project, blending their diverse influences seamlessly to create a new and unique sound.
The band's original songs leave the musicians space to improvise and take the music in new and unexpected directions, bringing in elements of funk, jazz, jam, hip hop, blues, and world to make inventive and exciting music that's as engaging to listen to as it is fun to dance to.
