The Mission Creek Music Festival starts tomorrow. I think it’s a great opportunity to get out there and see some good local bands and some national ones as well. They now have the full schedule online. Note: you should double check the schedules for the line ups and order. Some of my info may be out-of-date.

5/10 Rykarda Parasol, Harbours, Micheal Zapruder, Hiss Golden Messenger, Caves @ Rickshaw Stop. I like Michael Zapruder’s Rain of Frogs latest, New Ways of Letting Go, and the only other time I’ve seen him, I remember a good set

5/13 Kelley Stoltz, Sonny Smith, Virgil Shaw @ the Makeout Room. Kelley Stoltz makes an infectious brand of Revolverish-era Beatles influenced pop.

5/16 King City, The Dodos, Alela Diane, Two Sheds, The Hallflowers @ Elbo Room. Holy crap the Dodos are good!

5/18 anticon records showcase @ Bottom of the Hill w/ Jel and telephonejimjesus, Half Handed Cloud, Yoni Wolf(of Why?), doseone [spoken set](of Subtle, Themselves, 13&God), Bat Rays(Passage and Bomarr) anticon’s cool and everyone’s favorite ADHD bedroom indie folk pop band, Half Handed Cloud is playing

5/19 Brass Band Parade @ Dolores Park it just sounds cool

5/19 Lavender Diamond, Watson Twins, Winter Flowers @ the Independent I’m intrigued by Lavender Diamond’s album (link to the full album streaming)

5/20 Or, The Whale, The Finches, Last of the Blacksmiths @ Cafe du Nord I love the Finches and there are two other local bands I’ve heard good things about

5/20 Plug Research Showcase @ Mezzanine w/ Mia Doi Todd, Daedelus, Roommate, Flying Lotus, Ola Podrina I like Mia Doi Todd and I like what I’ve heard of Ola Podrida, though the latest listings don’t have them on it and I don’t see it on their myspace. Maybe they won’t be there after all?
