Review: Anika and Seablite @ Rickshaw Stop, May 17

Seablite, Annika @ Rickshaw Stop, May 17 by Gage Kenady Seablite, San Francisco's own fuzz-pop jangle-gaze quartet, opened the show amidst dayglo projections that seemed to pulsate in sync with the propulsive beats and reverb-drenched vocals. Murky, mysterious and urgent, the mod a-go-go psych psounds of Seablite check all the right boxes for today's indie sophisticate, resulting in a swirly pleasuredrone. The music reminded me kind of like how, when we were […]

Queering Radio on ‘The Step Back’

by Luke Poynter Luke Poynter I grew up, like most Americans, listening to the radio. As a preacher’s kid, secular (non-religious) music wasn’t allowed in our house for most of my childhood, so K-LOVE was played almost exclusively. I loved music, but I got tired of listening to the same things over and over again. In middle school, I dreamed of being a radio DJ until my teachers shot it […]

MPTIS, April 30 @ The New Farm

by Luke Poynter This past weekend, I attended “The Bay is Doomed” hosted by The New Farm in Hunter’s Point. The New Farm is a nonprofit venue run by Green City Project, and they offer their stage for open community use. I was invited to the show to watch MPTIS (pronounced “empty eyes”) perform a 15-minute set along with 16 other local bands. The show was all ages and, quite frankly, the […]

Spotlight: Meet DJ Flying Japan, 15 years old

When did you start DJing? I started DJing around 2016, I would have been 10 at that point. I’d done a few shows here and there when I was 6 or 7, but I got my own show when I was 10. I’ve still retained my DJ name that I chose as a child, and the show’s called Oh Grow Up. Airs Saturdays 10-11 a.m. (shameless plug!) if anyone’s interested, mostly […]

Who is Flappy, the Mysterious DJ (Fridays, 4–6 p.m.)?

Who is the Mysterious DJ Whose Show Airs Fridays 4–6 p.m.? by Gage Kenady A considerable amount of intrigue has been generated by one of KXSF’s newer DJs, the one known simply as Flappy, host of Flappy’s Den (Fridays, 4–6 p.m.). Who is this mystery man with no social media presence (or even a cell phone) who has captured the hearts and imaginations of KXSF listeners at such a rapid rate? As […]

Recipe: Crispy Umami Tofu from Janelle, Host of Supper Sessions

by Janelle Lynch I’m not a vegan, but since my diagnosis with an autoimmune disease in 2019, I primarily cook and follow a vegan protocol at home. Some of my favorite meals to make are an iteration of this crispy tofu dish. You can always put a twist on the components of the sauce used too- make it with fresh squeezed orange and sesame, or do a salt & pepper […]

Based in San Francisco, KXSF strives to represent the big tent that is the Bay Area. With this goal in mind, we are doing town hall events throughout the year. We had our first of 2022 on April 25 at Fig & Thistle Wine Bar in […]

Mudhoney @ Great American Music Hall 5/22/2022

by Scott Tolar I had the pleasure of attending the second night of Mudhoney and The Meat Puppets at the Music Hall on Sunday May 22nd. I was lucky enough to be hanging out with musically connected folks, and got to sit in the lovely, spacious reserved section at the front of the balcony. Ohh La La. First for me… The bands were alternating headliners throughout the tour, and it […]
