Tonight's show! Ireland's 32

Megan — Sat, 24 May 2008 19:54:17 GMT

Tonight, May 24th, Saturday, etc.

We're going to be using the new sound system that Ireland's 32 has set up, which is supposed to be super sweet, and I'm very excited about it. Especially the part where we don't have to lug all our heavy sound gear.

It's a three day weekend, so y'all have an extra day to work off those car bombs, which means no excuses for not coming out and partying tonight!

See you there!

So, tonight after work we're packing up the truck and heading out to ol' Auburn for the one and only Karfluki Fest!

It's the third year of this awesome music fesitval, hosted by family friends of Plasterkatz, Tempest! If you haven't gotten the opportunity to see them live, I hightly recommend it! (I mean, come on, Damien Gonzales on bass? How can you NOT want to witness that?)

Plasterkatz will be there all weekend long, in a volunteer capacity on Saturday, and opening up Sunday's side of the celebration at noon with some good old-fashioned Plasterkatz rock and roll!

If you're still looking for something to do this weekend, make that trip to Gold Country and help us celebrate on what's sure to be a beautiful spring weekend!

We'd love to see you guys there. I can't wait!

thatcallahanguy — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 21:40:54 GMT

Hey kids,

Prepare for a springtime shower of Plasterkatz shows! We will be playing at all corners of the bay every weekend in May. (hey, that rhymes!)

First, we are extremely excited to be participating in the 3rd annual Karfluki Music Festival in beautiful Auburn, California. It is the 20th anniversary celebration for the seminal Celtic Rock group Tempest and they have asked us to kick off the second day of the festival on Sunday May 4th. For more line up and ticket information check out the website:

http://www.karflukifest.com

If you are having any sticker shock about the ticket price, we have a great option for you! The festival is in need of volunteers and our very own Bryn Tucker is in charge of facilitating that. (Who could ask for a better boss?) All they ask is 4 hours of work and then you can enjoy the whole day! Plus food and volunteer beer! We'll be there the whole time volunteering ourselves, so come on out and spend the weekend with your favorite band. Just PM me with your interest and we'll hit you back with the skinny.

thatcallahanguy — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 21:10:35 GMT

YARRR!!!

Be ye ready for a night of piratical adventure with ye olde Plasterkatz, mateys?

On Friday night, March 21st, sail to the Verdi Club at 2424 Mariposa Street in San Francisco for an evening of music, raffles, and piratical fun, as Pirates 4 Children presents the 1st Annual Pirates Ball and Silent Auction!

http://pirates4children.org/

Just imagine, for a mere $30, not only do you get an evening of music from Plasterkatz, as well as local nautical musician Skip Henderson and the Starboard Watch, but you get to meet some of the actors from Pirates of the Caribbean (no, Johnny won't be there...) join in a silent auction, and, best of all, benefit the Children's Hospital and Research Center of Oakland!

Really, people... think of the children.

So pull yer pirate duds from the treasure chest, grab yer parrot, shiver yer timbers, and set a course for the Verdi Club at 8pm March 21st for what's sure to be the first of many great pirate balls!

L. Mason — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 19:14:49 GMT

WHAT:
Humanitarians, pirate enthusiasts, music buffs and movie fans are invited to San Francisco’s historic Verdi Club for an evening of live music, dancing, and star gazing at the first annual Pirate Ball and Silent Auction. Raise a pint and sing along to nautical musician Skip Henderson and The Starboard Watch. **Then groove to local indie rock group The Plasterkatz.** Delight in the clever antics of the infamous Jack Spareribs, the evening’s Master of Ceremonies, and bid on over $5,000 worth of limited edition collectibles and memorabilia.

Evan and Matt gathered a group of piratical celebrities and entertainers to donate their time to entertain, give out toys, and play games with the children and their families in the hospital. The event was so successful, the group decided to launch a similar hospital visit and fund raiser in Northern California under the leadership of Craig Appel, local Bay Area pirate entertainer.

Sunday night in Oakland! The Festival of Fans!

thatcallahanguy — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 19:07:38 GMT

Don't forget, tomorrow night you should come down to the Stork Club at 2330 Telegraph Avenue in Oakland to join Plasterkatz and a whole club full of friends to celebrate the Festival of Fans!

Here's what the creators of this milestone event have to say about it:

Have you ever asked yourself why there aren't enough events around that encourage people to sing through fans?

Well, now's your chance... extra points for wearing costumes and recreating the poster scene!

http://www.storkcluboakland.com/Flyers/2008/SE_festival%20of%20FANS_2008.html

The Festival of Fans was originally conceived as an epic music festival that would take place at the Altamont Pass among the windmills and gigantic fans. The bill was going to be filled by bands created from the lists of throwaway band names that bands generate when they are trying to name their band. "Rollercoaster Kitty," "Hippy Ice Cream Truck," and "The Polyester Foresters" are examples of potential openers. Eventually, the idea morphed into a Sunday BBQ at the Stork Club with real bands. We will celebrate things fantastic, like a bunch of fanatics. There will be fan dancing, autograph signing, and performers will be encouraged to sing through the spinning blades of a fan. It is going to be awesome!

Starring:
4pm - The Happy Clams
5pm - October Allied
6pm - The Lemmies
7pm - The Bleu Canadians
8pm - Plasterkatz
9pm - The Clarences
10pm - Rollercoaster Summer
11pm - Brad Electro
12am - Mike Glendinning

DJ Mole will be spinning throughout the evening

So come on down and join us! $7 at the door! It's a holiday weekend! So Sunday is another Saturday!

See you there!

The Best Music You’ve Never Heard

KGO (50,000 watts) is having another chance for unsigned groups to get on the air. They only want 1 CD per group so it should be sent in by the group. See: http://www.kgoam810.com/Article.asp?id=521668&spid=17749 They also want to know “which track on the CD you feel is the best representation of the band.”

It also happens to be the weekend before Halloween, so throw on a costume and, who knows, there might just be a costume contest with prizes and everything!

Start off your Labor Day weekend with us!

This Friday, at Irelands 32 at 3920 Geary Avenue in San Francisco, come celebrate the three-day weekend with Plasterkatz! We'll be starting the night off with an acoustic set, and then we'll be introducing our pals from the East Bay for their first public performance, the power trio of Suboptimal! (www.suboptimalsf.com) After that, the 'katz will come back for another two sets of electrified rock and roll!

And, yes, I know, the Bay Bridge will be shut down at 8pm that night. Well, don't fret, because good ol' BART will be running ALL NIGHT LONG!!!

Go here for the details:

I also just confirmed that the SF Muni 38 Line (the one that runs up Geary Avenue) will be running its regular 24-hour schedule, so there's absolutely NO reason why ANYONE should miss this show! (Well, unless you're one of those crazies who went to the playa this year...)

Ack! gettin' to SF for PK @ I-32

SpencerH — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 01:16:19 GMT

Hey folks!

In all honesty, from a far east bay kind of person (when I'm writing my graffiti I write "925" and "94513" and "B-Town"), and since the bridge is closing Friday night, apparently before all the music and such starts up, I want to figure out if there's a BART station anywhere near Geary, or if anyone there might have a vehicle available to pick up one good looking guy, and maybe (maybe) his wife or friends from BART, and even hitch us a ride back to BART after the show (Hell, it's payday, so we could even get a taxi).

When I heard on the news that it might take 1.5 hours to get to the Golden Gate Bridge, or the San Mateo Bridge, I pooped my pants. Started having 2nd thoughts about getting all the way out to SF with no way back.

So....a shout out to all my SF people - is BART even close to Geary?

Bay Bridge Closed Aug 31st

Jessa — Sat, 25 Aug 2007 19:56:56 GMT

Those idjits think they're funny.

Now it's true that this does not affect *me* at all since I live in SF. But it may affect you. SO here's the deal: I've got crash space at my house if anyone's gonna be stuck after the show, and we probably even have a few seats in the car for those non-drivers.

Drop me a line or gimme a call if you're interested.

Burning KATZ!!!

thatcallahanguy — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 22:41:52 GMT

Okay.

I know a bunch of you are going to be at Burning Man this year, but for those of you who aren't, and are looking for something REALLY HOT to do, why don't you come to Irelands 32 on Friday, August 31, for some good-time comfort music, as well as the debut of some friends of ours!

To start the night off, at 9 p.m., witness the premiere of Suboptimal! They're friends with whom most of you are already familiar (the Seeman brothers, Russ on rhythm guitar, Ben on bass, and Ray Balaian on lead guitar) who impressed me with their solid beats and impressive interpretations of some modern classics, as well as Russ's unique songwriting skills, which I suspect will astound the hell out of you.

Once they've warmed you up, it's time for Plasterkatz to come in and continue the grooves, with the stuff you love to dance to, some new work-ups on some original songs, and some covers that might surprise you.

WHEN: Friday - August 31 - 9 p.m.
WHERE: Irelands 32 - 3920 Geary Ave. (at 3rd Avenue ) - San Francisco
WHO: Plasterkatz with Suboptimal (www.suboptimalsf.com)

See you there!

PK in wales and locarno

Jeff - The Navigator — Tue, 12 Jun 2007 07:45:29 GMT

Thought you'd like to know...

I was hanging out with a new group of people and we got to speaking of music. Played them a couple of songs from Past Due and they loved it. Turns out one of them operates a pirate radio station in Wales and borrowed my copy to take back with him to put it on the air. Unfortunately, he's incredibly low tech and doesn't have an internet feed yet. Another girl was completely in love with "The Cukoo" and Megan's oohs and ahhs are now her cell phone ring tone, which is going back to southern switzerland with her. And my friend Mary is dead set on coming out and seeing a show in the near future, whether I'm back by then or not.

PK is slowly taking over the world. Like a musical version of Godzilla... only, perhaps without the bad breath.

Ziggy Stardust on uke?

thatcallahanguy — Mon, 04 Jun 2007 22:52:55 GMT

Yup. Bowie on ukulele.

Some of you may have heard about this. Others might have no idea what I'm talking about. Regardless, this is an event that you shouldn't miss. Each member of Plasterkatz is involved in this production with their ukulele-driven side projects.

From the lips of our glorious uke leader, Kelly McCubbin, the Ukulele Apocalypse:

*****************************************************************************************

For the last time, the Ukulele Apocalypse presents...

"The Rise and Fall of Uke-y Stardust and the Spiders From Mars"

About a year ago I had a stupid idea, "We should," I thought, "get as many ukulele players as we could to play one seminal classic rock album from beginning to end." There was no question which record it should be.

This stupid idea exploded. Bands were formed, friends were made, projects grew out of projects and eventually, the whole thing had gained a life of its own. In this last year we've performed this show 4 times, "Purple Rain - When Ukes Cry", "Everything's a Dollar in this Box - Tom Waits on Cheap Instruments", "Plinkity Pleasures 1 and 2" and about a zillion other gigs all around the Bay Area.

And now it's time to move on, but not without propping the Starman up one last time to say goodbye.

So here it is...
The show that started it all, from the creators of "Purple Rain - When Ukes Cry". It's an entire evening of David Bowie, culminating in his glam rock masterpiece, from beginning to end, on ukulele.

You heard us.

June 16th, 2007, 9:00 P.M.

At the fabulous...
Rickshaw Stop (http://www.rickshawstop.com/)
155 Fell St.
San Francisco, CA

Tickets available at https://www.virtuous.com/purchase/info/e/3944716986

Some you'll recognize, and others are being debuted tonight!

Hey Kids!

Put on your green bowler hats and tune in your UHF stations, because at the end of the March rainbow, there’s a whole pot o’ Plasterkatz!

Firstly: Next Tuesday March 13th we will be taping an episode of the Vinnie Langdon show for Vacaville public access! This is the big time, baby! We will be hanging out at the Creekside Bar & Grill at 555 Main Street in Vacaville from 6-10pm. We can have a live studio audience (that’s you) so come on down and have a drink. We are taping early so try to show up as close to 6pm as you can.

Secondly: We will be doing a very special Plasterkatz performance on St. Patrick’s Day at Irelands 32! In addition to your favorite P-Katz songs, we’ve also worked up a bunch of Irish music (bastardized by the Plasterkatz groove machine, of course) exclusively for this show, to celebrate the life of that snake-banishing drunkard! We will begin around 9pm and play till the gutters run green with food-colored Budweiser! Arrive early because the bar will be packed.

Here’s the condensed version for the Reader’s Digest crowd:

Vinnie Langdon Show!
Tuesday March 13th
6-10pm
@ the Creekside Bar & Grill
555 Main St.
Vacaville CA, 95688

Utah Ren Faire 2 weeks before Burning Man

Bevan — Fri, 02 Mar 2007 20:46:36 GMT

sorry about the multiple postings. I feel very strongly about this and have 10 days to produce results...

Aug. 13th to the 18th
So send this link to any one that might be interested in participating.

http://web.mac.com/ibevan/iWeb/Site/Home.html

Hear is a quote from the sight.

"Merging the class and elegance of a Renaissance Faire with
the freshness of a Fairy Festival and the chaos of a Burning Man event, into one..."

“I realize the word ‘change’ is terrifying to the old school faire folk, but this production company is going to let the market decide what direction the faire goes in.
If the consumer wants a mob of cheerleaders that appear to be off the set of a “Road Warrior” movie, running through the faire dancing up a storm, creating the illusion that a mob of patrons have taken over the faire. Followed by a similarly attired marching band playing a very hip march with a back beat that you can’t help but want to swing to... then that’s what we’ll give them..!”

A short bio?

thatcallahanguy — Fri, 03 Nov 2006 00:28:25 GMT

Here's a question I'd like to pose to our friends and fans:

Now that our new album is out, we're getting ready to start spreading the love of PK to the rest of the world, which involves, of course, radio stations, and usually a short biography of the band is required with the submission.

Well, it sure would be nice to have someone write a few words that aren't from the perspective of a bandmember; someone who can write an objective summary that doesn't sound like one of us pretending we're standing on the outside looking in.

If we could find someone who would be willing to write up a simple bio that we could use, and that could possibly become part of our press packet, that would rock.

Any writers out there feel like taking on the task? If so, contact me here or through private message.

Thanks!

Hey kids,

It's that time of year again, so chug a shot of nog, hoist up your snowflake embroidered elf shorts and dust off that old yarn sweater with the reindeer on it that your grandmother gave you in 1986.

You may be asking yourself, "why should I be so gayly adorned when it's still three weeks from Christmas/Chanukah/Kwanza? Well I'll tell ya.

Because this Friday December 8th is the official "Plasterkatz Egg Nog Jamboree"! (working title)

That's right, 2006 saw some great milestones for the band and it's members, not the least of which was our triumphant debut CD "Past Due" (the perfect holiday gift). This epic performance will be our last show of the year so, please come on down and celebrate with us.

We will be playing at our home-base: Irelands 32. We have resurrected a few old Plasterkatz favorites from the vaults and we are excited to debut not one but TWO brand NEW songs! (the paint is still wet, if you know what I mean).

As if you needed another reason to go to this show, we are honored to have the super duo Stella open up the night for us again, this time with a full set of uke, saw and cheese grater greatness!

Woohoo!

Be there!

Plasterkatz next project?

Sanchez_Boon — Thu, 28 Sep 2006 16:12:24 GMT

A rock opera based on this?
(I think that the whole band has done the research already)

The "Stoned Ape" theory of human evolution

Perhaps the most intriguing of Terence McKenna's theories and observations is his explanation for the origin of the human mind and culture. McKenna theorizes that as the North African jungles receded toward the end of the most recent ice age, giving way to grasslands, a branch of our tree-dwelling primate ancestors left the branches and took up a life out in the open—following around herds of ungulates, nibbling what they could along the way.

Among the new items in their diet were psilocybin-containing mushrooms growing in the dung of these ungulate herds. The psilocybin -- which in small doses provides an increased visual acuity, in slightly larger doses a physical sexual arousal and in still larger doses full-on ecstatic hallucinations and glossolalia -- gave evolutionary advantages including the rearing of off-spring to reproductive age amongst those tribes who partook of it. The changes caused by the introduction of this drug to the primate diet were many—McKenna theorizes, for instance, that synesthesia (the blurring of boundaries between the senses) caused by psilocybin led to the development of spoken language: the ability to form pictures in another person's mind through the use of vocal sounds.

About 12,000 years ago, further climate changes removed the mushroom from the human diet, resulting in a new set of profound changes in our species as we reverted to pre-mushroomed and brutal primate social structures that had been modified and/or repressed by frequent consumption of psilocybin.

McKenna's theory has intuitive strength, but it is necessarily based on a great deal of supposition interpolating between the few fragmentary facts we know about hominid and early human history. In addition, because McKenna (who described himself as "an explorer, not a scientist") was also a proponent of much wilder suppositions, such as his "Timewave Zero" theory, his more reasonable theories are usually disregarded by the very scientists whose informed criticism is crucial for their development.

SpencerH — Sun, 24 Sep 2006 16:28:14 GMT

Great show last night, folks, and now I have a CD!

BTW Space Oddity was BEAUTIFUL and I am pissed I didn't have a lighter. Holy buckets, that was an awesome show last night.

And all those fans at Irelands 32 are amazing and wonderful - yum!

It's about freaking time!

thatcallahanguy — Fri, 01 Sep 2006 23:31:02 GMT

Friends of Plasterkatz, lend us your ears! (And this time, we don't have to be in the room for you to hear us...)

Yup, that's right, believe it or not, Plasterkatz FINALLY has an album! And on Saturday, September 23rd, you need to come down to our old familiar haunt Irelands 32 at Geary and 3rd Avenue in San Francisco so we can all celebrate the release of the new CD. What's it called, you ask?

PLASTERKATZ: PAST DUE

(After all, it really is, isn't it?)

The night's festivities will start around 9pm, with the reggae/hip-hop melodies of the Bay Area's own Planting Seeds.

Then, to the surprise of probably nobody, Plasterkatz will take the stage and serve up two sets of the stuff that makes you shake your collective booties, as well as some new stuff, including some recently developed covers, and the usual good time that is generally had by all!

And yes, you can buy our new album there as well. As if you hadn't deduced that.

So, come on down to our CD release party! Did I mention there will be cake? Well, there will! WOOHOO!

Saturday, September 23rd @ 9pm
Plasterkatz with Planting Seeds
Irelands 32 - 3920 Geary - San Francisco

See you there!

1 song project

tsgeisel — Fri, 01 Sep 2006 23:43:26 GMT

I (and a few other insane folks) have been talking about getting a different arrangment of that classic waltz tune from Dickens/Gaskells/other places - The Congress of Vienna. We have versions by Brassworks, and by Bangers and Mash, and while good, the desire is to expand.

If sheet music could be supplied (and it can) would the band (or parts of it) be up for an arrangement on more modern instruments, in a more modern style, perhaps?

As a cd-single it would be a great way to promote the group to people who might never have heard of y'all, too... (in case that's an inducement). But, really, the chance to do something benignly evil should be enough.

(And if you're just a fan, but in a different band, feel free to contact me as well. The more the merrier.)

Overheard at the show, volume 1, issue 1

Thu, 03 Aug 2006 18:39:03 GMT

Megan: "Boy, yeah, whole different crowd...a place where I ask 'Do I look like a BOY?!' and I get the answer, 'Yeah! But it's ok, it's kinda' *hot*!'"

Bryn: "So, what song is it we're playing exactly? The first one on the list?"
Chris: "Well, yeah, the one we moved to third but played second."

Megan: "Why is it we have to change instruments **every song**?! Jesus CHRIST!"

Bryn: "I'm out of tune."
Megan: "Then don't play!"

Trey: "Chris, you have a ground loop."
Chris: "Yeah, I know that, thanks."

May 14th - Hotel Utah!

thatcallahanguy — Mon, 01 May 2006 18:38:55 GMT

Check it out!

On May 14th, at 8pm, come to Hotel Utah at 500 4th Street in San Francisco!

Why, you ask? Well, Plasterkatz will be performing! Isn’t that enough? Well, even if it is, there’s STILL more! We’ll be sharing the evening with some old friends, and some new ones!

I’m sure you all know about Vinny Johnson Band, our friends from the South Bay. We’ve shared a stage with them, you’ve rocked out to their groovy sound, so now you can do it all over again at one of the Bay Area’s premiere venues for live music!

Also joining us from the Sacramento area are the geek rockers, The Kimberly Trip!

And don’t worry, we’ll be sure to remind you as the time approaches. You don’t think we’d forget about you, do you?

Sunday, May 14th @ 8pm
Hotel Utah – 500 4th St. – San Francisco
Plasterkatz – www.plasterkatz.com
The Kimberly Trip - www.thekimberlytrip.com
Vinny Johnson Band - www.vinnyjohnson.com

There’s a $5 cover charge, but you know it’s well worth it!

See you there!
