Wallpaper, Hot Tub, 40love @ Rickshaw
As you have likely heard, this week marks the release of the long awaited debut LP from the Bay Area's own Wallpaper. (Check out our coverage at Sfist!)
Our friends at Eenie Meenie were kind enough to hook us up with a pair of tickets to giveaway to their show Saturday with Hot Tub and 40Love. This is their official record release party, so should be great times.
To enter, just email wallpaper@epicsauce.com by Thursday at 4pm.
And when you email, let us know if it is cool to add you to the epicsauce weekly wooot email list. We think you will dig the ad-free / no allegiance flavor.

Men (ex-Le Tigre), Tussle, Young Lovers @ Bottom of the Hill
Featuring two-thirds of the dormant Le Tigre, Men makes dance-heavy electropop in a similar vein to Le Tigre inspired acts CSS and New Young Pony Club.
While there has yet to be a proper release, the demos that are floating around are jaw-droppingly catchy – we have had Credit Card Babie$ and Make it Reverse on repeat for a few weeks now. Will be curious to see how the politically leaning band responds to requests from Scion. Yet to see reports on how the act translates live, but have high hopes.
And while we cannot hype epicsauce favorites Tussle more than we already have (previous coverage here and here), we are stoked to catch them on this dance-friendly bill. Again, this band is not to be missed.
The Young Lovers open.

Tussle, Bronze, Flexions @ The Oven
The Oven is hosting a rock solid night with Tussle, Bronze and Flexions.
Epicsauce readers are no doubt familiar with our affinity towards San Francisco’s Tussle. As we previously noted, the trio blends everything we love about Krautrock and early 80s post-punk with the sound of more contemporary DFA-affiliated bands. And while they are able to kill it on the large stage (Hot Chip and Ratatat have both tapped the band for US tours), the warehouse setting is where they truly shine. This one is not to be missed.
We are also amped to catch experimental Krautrockers Bronze -- embarrassed to say the excellent San Francsico mainstay just recently entered our radar. While a bit more gurpy and potentially less accessible than the dance-heavy Tussle, we have a feeling the bulk of you will dig it.
And seriously, be sure to get there early for Seattle’s Flexions. Featuring Devin Welch from the down right amazing Past Lives, the duo plays stripped down dub influenced post-punk that is sure to help you get your sway on.
