Even on the eve of SXSW, Austin’s Beauty Bar shows no signs of taking it easy. Neither do we at Antics, and tomorrow night (Mar. 17) we’ll team up with our favorite little venue in Texas to present Art Disaster. The lineup of bands and DJs is extensive, including Pomegranates, DJ Orion, The Happy Hollows and many more. And fear not, the usual Antics bag of tricks will be present too, along with some righteous drink specials.

Touting itself as San Francisco’s preeminent celebration of independent music, film, and art since 1993, Noise Pop has been raging for the last six days across an enormous swath of the city’s amazing venues--from the downtown Apple Store to The Bottom of the Hill and the Great American Music Hall. The lineup featured an electic array of bands, performers and deejays, including Mike Relm, No Age, Ra Ra Riot, Stephen Malkmus, and dozens of others.

Following the 2009 Winter Dew Tour‘s final stop at Northstar-at-Tahoe, ANTICS threw the biggest and baddest after party to ever hit the slopes. A good time was had by all - including host Todd Richards, who served master of ceremonies, and DJs QBert and Shaun Slaughter - and we have the photos to prove it. Take a gander!

I had been listening to a lot of Deerhunter recently before seeing them live last week at the Mezzanine in San Fransisco. Their first major album, Cryptograms, is a lush treasure chest of ambient hypnotic songs that occasionally hint at melodies but more often then not recede back into beautiful noise. Their followup, Microcastle, has more pop feel and clearly defined song structures, even sustained melodies. When we arrived at the venue they were doing sound check and I could tell they were going to test out some new material, which is a strange cross-pollination of their first and second albums.

Less than a week after kicking things off at Noise Pop with Deerhunter, Antics is all set to return to San Francisco’s Mezzanine, teaming up with ASCAP and Filter. Tomorrow night (February 28), Flosstradamus and N.A.S.A. will provide the live entertainment, along with Wallpaper and DJ Morale. San Fran isn’t done popping yet, and rest assured, Antics will be there until the noise has stopped.
P.S. Be on the lookout for deets on Filter‘s SXSW party, where Flosstradamus and N.A.S.A. are also bound to appear.

LA Riots
Text and photos by Robert Castro
Do you remember where you where in 1992? Many of us were clued to our television sets watching the Los Angeles riots unfold right in front of our eyes. On Thursday night the Mile High City of Denver, Colorado witnessed a different form of LA Riots, this time in the form of the DJ super-group hailing from the left coast. The bill originally also featured Kid Cudi, who ultimately cancelled last minute to be on BET’s 106 and Park show to debut his new video Day N’ Nite. :-(

Hear ye, hear ye! Antics is teaming up with ASCAP and Filter for a killer event at Mezzanine in San Francisco tomorrow night, the opening night of Noise Pop, and we’ll even get to feature one of the festival’s main events. Deerhunter and Lilofee are scheduled for live sets, while Aaron Axelson and Omar (Popscene) are to spin the proverbial discs. No better way to kick it off in San Fran.

Wendy Darling
By Antics Staff
No, we’re not talking about the little girl who Peter Pan kidnaps. Turns out, Wendy Darling is also the name of a fresh, Californian indie band, too. The foursome is set to take the stage at one of Antics‘ favorite San Diego hotspots, Beauty Bar this Saturday, February 21. We’ll be there as well, with all of our usual magic tricks and matrices. We hope to see you there, at the most beautiful of all venues. Who knows, maybe you’ll end up getting swept off to Neverneverland anyway.
