Wolfmother, Heartless Bastards, Thenewno2 Fox Theater - Oakland	Mon., November 23, 7:30pm	Downtown Oakland	All Ages Rock
When Aussie retro-rock act Wolfmother lost its rhythm section last summer, fans wondered whether frontman Andrew Stockdale could convincingly carry on the name. The singer proves his Ozzy-meets-Jack-White wail and knack for hooky guitar riffs remain intact on the songs from Wolfmother's... More >>

Del the Funky Homosapien, Bukue One, Serendipity Project, Hopie Spitshard Great American Music Hall	Wed., November 25, 9:00pm	Nob Hill/ Russian Hill	All Ages Hip Hop
Del the Funky Homosapien has contributed his share to the canon of hip-hop classics. His first two albums, the funk-infused I Wish My Brother George Was Here and the harder-edged, battle-rapping No Need for Alarm, left unique marks during the golden era of early-'90s hip-hop. But the Bay Area... More >>

Deastro, Max Tundra, White Cloud Bottom of the Hill	Wed., November 25, 10:00pm	Potrero Hill	All Ages Dance Electronica Indie Rock
British pop composer Ben Jacobs becomes Max Tundra from the moment his "knees and arms start quivering in time to the curious rhythms," he explained in a recent interview. Tundra explores the flickers between fiction and realism, crooning vaguely pessimistic, perversely absurd lyrics atop... More >>

Hatebreed, Trivium, Cannibal Corpse, Chimaira, Unearth, Whitechapel, Born of Osiris, Hate Eternal, Dirge Within The Warfield	Fri., November 27, 3:00pm	Hayes Valley/ Tenderloin	All Ages Hardcore Metal Rock
Tough economic times affected all branches of the entertainment industry in 2009, and the live music scene is no exception. In a recent MSN Music online poll of metal fans, 33 percent of respondents said they were going to fewer shows, and nearly 16 percent said that if they did go out, they... More >>

The Books Noe Valley Ministry	Fri., November 27, 8:15pm	Castro/ Noe Valley	Acoustic All Ages Electronica
After a considerable hibernation, the Books are publicly resuming activity with a brief tour to preview new songs. The New York duo of Nick Zammuto and Paul de Jong remains enamored of layering found sounds against plinking, soft-sung folk. In fact, it's telling that de Jong spent part of the... More >>

The Business, Control U.K., Harrington Saints Thee Parkside	Sat., November 28, 9:00pm	Potrero Hill	All Ages Punk Rock
The young upstarts and aging skinheads who packed two recent Cock Sparrer concerts at the Great American Music Hall — each sold out weeks in advance — would seem to indicate a continued thirst for no-bullshit, blue-collar punk in the 21st Century, even if the critics, hipsters, and... More >>

Kelly Clarkson, Eric Hutchinson, Parachute San Jose State Event Center Arena	Sun., November 29, 7:30pm	San Jose	All Ages Pop
Kelly Clarkson invites so many cooks into her kitchen that it's no surprise when her albums tend to be uneven affairs. But when American Idol's first winner is handed a gem, she knows exactly what to do with it, as heard on her hits "My Life Would Suck Without You" and "Since U Been Gone." After... More >>

Vic Chesnutt Band, Warpaint, Liz Durrett Great American Music Hall	Mon., November 30, 8:00pm	Nob Hill/ Russian Hill	Acoustic All Ages Indie Singer-Songwriter
Vic Chesnutt's sense of self is as unsteady as a drunk on Sunday morning. In his songs, the Southern singer-songwriter veers rambunctiously from searing declarations ("I am not a victim … I'm an atheist!") to dismal self-reflection ("I'm a cheap, spent shell/And a biohazard"). Joined by Guy... More >>
