Or just hang around for more tuneage. You have options, people. Good ones. And we guarantee with one listen, you will be a monthly patron at this human-curated, sound and vision event that goes down in the heart of the Inner Richmond. See ya on Friday!<\/p>\n CELEBRATION AT MABUHAY GARDENS, SAT\/28<\/p>\n Punk was once a significant part of San Francisco\u2019s culture. I was amazed to learn that local band The Tubes lived, rehearsed, and performed in a warehouse during the 1970s on the same block in the Mission where decades later, I spent a couple of years living in a warehouse myself. Trippy, right?<\/p>\n This Saturday, San Francisco\u2019s counterculture history returns to its roots to mark the 50th anniversary of the city\u2019s punk rock at an iconic venue where it all began. That\u2019s right: the legendary Mabuhay Gardens, affectionately known as the \u201cFab Mab\u201d at 435 Broadway, will host \u201cFlipper and Friends: A Celebration of 50 Years of Punk in San Francisco.\u201d This venue famously hosted Blondie in March of 1977 during their first West Coast tour, along with other punk and punk-adjacent icons like the Ramones, Talking Heads, and Patti Smith.<\/p>\n The event is divided into afternoon and evening programs that will feature a video presentation, an oral history panel, and several live performances. It\u2019s a fantastic opportunity to learn about yet another subculture that helped put San Francisco on the music map. <\/p>\n Grab tickets and more info here<\/a>. <\/p>\n DJ HARRISON, \u201cTURN AWAY FT.
