SF Show of the Week // GO4FREE to Penguin Prison at Mezzanine 2/10 (WED)

Penguin Prison with Manics //
Mezzanine – San Francisco
February 10th, 2016 //

Growing up in New York City’s Upper East Side, Chris Glover (aka Penguin Prison) embarked on his musical journey early in life. From joining his school’s gospel choir at the age of 10 to fronting a punk band in high school and forming a boy band in college, Glover has never been shy of the spotlight. In 2009, he made a name for himself under the moniker Penguin Prison with his Animal Animal/A Funny Thing EP.

Released in 2015, Penguin Prison’s latest album Lost in New York refers to “a journey that someone is going on who’s trying to find his way, trying to just grow up, become an adult,” and borrows the title from the 1992 comedy film “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York”. The last time Penguin Prison came to SF, the one-man pop machine was accompanied by a full band and took a sold-out Independent by storm, proving why he deserves to be in the spotlight.

This Wednesday, Penguin Prison returns to SF to headline Mezzanine after Bay Area nu-disco act Manic opens the show. Tickets are available for $20, or you could win a pair of tickets by submitting your full name and email below.

Contest ends this Wednesday at 3 p.m.

Backing up Francis at Mezzanine will be Brooklyn underground hip-hop duo Metermaids, also on Strange Famous Records, and Oakland alternative hip-hop MC/producer and Anticon record label co-founder Jeffrey James Logan, better known by his stage name Jel.

Rainbow Girls: January 31st (SAT) @ The Fillmore // BUY TICKETS
Bay Area ladies, this one is just for you. This Saturday night, The Fillmore welcomes Rainbow Girls, The Hot Toddies, The She’s and Kendra McKinley for its first-ever all-female show. Hailing from Santa Barbara and Sebastopol, the five gals who make up Rainbow Girls offer a gypsy-inspired mix of stomp folk, rock ‘n’ roll and Americana all rolled up into one sound. Just a few weeks ago, the band released its new song “Step Down From the Mountain,” and fans should get to hear plenty from its debut album The Sound of Light. The Bay Area will also be well-represented at the show, as Oakland indie/surf-pop outfit The Hot Toddies, which is celebrating their 10-year anniversary as a band, SF dream/surf-pop act The She’s and SF singer-songwriter Kendra McKinley will open things up.

Contest ends Friday, January 30th at Noon.
