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.

Tussle, Hot Tub, (+more) @ Haight Street Fair
No excuses… go see the epicsauce favorite Tussle at the Haight Street Fair (FREE). Myspace says they go on the “Masonic Stage” at 3:30.
SF’s Tussle is everything that is fucking awesome about early 80s post-punk, yet with a foot firmly set in the more contemporary DFA-esque scene. Dancey ass shit, but think more solid rhythmic grooves than face-melting bangers.
And while an outdoor stage at 3:30 is probably not the optimal venue to see them (i.e. not a dark low ceilinged room where the trio rocks out on the same level as the crowd), it should still be a solid affair.
Still trying to lock down more info on the lineup.. looks like Hot Tub will be there as well. Check back for more info as the week progresses.
Warning: If it is anything like two years ago, this seems to be the only truly enforced alcohol ban in the city. Hide your shit.
