Teach the kids to Rock!

San Francisco musicians, Lynne Angel and Brian Gorman ,(of Tartufi) and Paco Romane (of The Romane Event) will teach your kids how to ROCK! Tartufi and Paco have joined musical and funny forces to create one amazing rock school, Saturday Morning Rock Out!

Saturday Morning Rock Out! is a kid feuled, non-stop volcano of creativity. The 5-6 Week course teaches the kids how to write a song, write lyrics, perform as a group, share ideas and ROCK OUT! And it all ends in a rockin' CD RELASE PARTY! Each rocker gets a CD with their song performed LIVE at their CD Release Party and performed by the teachers. And each CD comes with their own original art work!

Plus a "guest rocker" comes to 1 of the classes to perform for the kids. In this classic "unplugged" moment the kids get to hear great original rock songs and get to participate in a Q and A session. Questions have ranged from "Have you ever written a song about flying Wolves" to "Why is your guitar not plugged in?".

We also show the kids videos of cool rock performances, read them musical stories, play musical games and Saturday Morning Rock Out! includes a free subscription of "Rocking Kids" ,the hippest kid newsletter. This is a weekly run down on what is going on in the class, photos and stories featuring your young rocker.

Simply put, Saturday Morning Rock Out! will teach your child how to rock. email kidsrock@owies.org for more info!

The Bay Bridged Presents Tartufi @ Slim's this Thursday 9/18 !!!

Don't be dumb, go to this show. Not only is the best rock band in SF playing, they are sharing the stage this Thursday with Low Red Land and Built for the Sea at Slim's (333 11th Street). As if (seriously, "AS IF!") this killer bill isn't enough, it's also a triple cd release party. I repeat. Don't be dumb. Go to this show.

Thread Productions (Tartufi, Low Red Land and Silian Rail) will be releasing their latest local music compilation: Dragon Slayers Vol. III. The cd features tracks from all three bands on the Slim's bill as well as 7 other great bands, and every member of the audience will receive a free copy. Low Red Land will be releasing their incredible new album, Dog's Hymn, and Built For the Sea will be releasing a tour ep for their upcoming European tour.

If you come to just one Tartufi show this year, please make it this one and come early. The show starts at 8:00.

p.s. Due to some exciting developments to be announced soon, Tartufi will not be releasing their new album, Nests of Waves and Wire, at this show as previously announced. All pre-sale orders will be honored and those fans will still be the first to receive the album.

Here's a little clip of Tartufi playing live. Enjoy.
