A swirl of finger picking guitars, harmonic vocals, and electro-acoustic drums and bass – FRONDS feels like a melancholic, faraway dream.

If you sign-up to perform, get in for free. NO ONE WILL BE TURNED AWAY – CONTACT ME. Proceeds go to the future of YG2D. There will be a set list of performers [guaranteed lovelies] to take up part of the night… & for this particular night, they arrrrrre: Vessna Scheff Spike Milliken Marissa Rosado Robin Gershbein Patrick Monk RN & featuring the special guest of the night: T Sisters - http://tsisters.com/ The T Sisters are an authentic family band based out of the San Francisco Bay Area. The group’s subtle throwback aesthetic calls to mind classic trios past, from the Andrews Sisters and 1960′s girl-groups to the sirens from the film O Brother, Where Art Thou? Anchored by diverse influences spanning folk, country, gospel, klezmer and early-‘90s R&B, each sister brings a unique vocal and lyrical style to a repertoire that is at once modern and timeless. SIGNUPS will also be that night for anyone else. The list fills up quickly, so if you want to perform, you’d better get there early… If you’re going to perform, keep it under 5 MINUTES. That’s right: 5 MINUTES. WE WILL TIME YOU. And we will hug you when we have to stop you [just to make it easier on you (or harder - depending on your propensity for intimacy)]. Priority will be given to first-timers. Poetry, prose, music, dancing, comedy, drama, happy, sad, & on & on & on… Remember: EVERYTHING GOES… so do whatever you want. You don’t have to perform anything. You are just as welcome to sit back, relax, clap at what you love and hiss at what you hate. Please don’t perform anything with a setup that takes much more time than the time it takes for you to walk onstage. Honestly, plugging things in endlessly is boring. If you need to borrow an instrument, figure it out before you’re called to the stage. IMPORTANT ::: DON’T TAKE YOURSELF SO SERIOUSLY. Come and have fun. The end. Remember. Someday, we won’t exist and neither will the English language. If you choose to take yourself seriously, then take yourself so seriously that it’s stupid. Ridiculousness is encouraged. You’re Going to Die… no. really. you are. In the darkest days of classic soul in SF there was a monthly soul and mod party at the original 330 Ritch Street. Established in the nineties, IN'n'OUT was a tribute to our mod roots…sixties soul, seventies soul, northern soul, r'nb, funk and a few mod beat favorites…artists such as: Darrell Banks, The O'Jay's, Bobby Hutton, The Detroit Executives, Major Lance, Otis Smith, Felice Taylor, Willie Tee, Moses Smith, Martha & The Vandellas, Rodger Collins,The Equals, The Action and The Style Council to name a few. If you're familiar with the mod/jazz/soul diaspora you know the deal…we like to go deep…no comps, no edits, no bs…all original 45s the way they were meant to be heard. At IN'n'OUT, the mix was on point, the style unquestioned, the dancing infectious and the all-nighters were legendary…In the summer of 2014, we're bringing it back! IN'n'OUT - soul and mod classics from the '60s & '70s! Third Thursdays at The Make-Out Room 9:30pm, 21+, no cover -our love is free.

But if there was only one, it would be the infamous Magnetix. It's their unique blend of trashy 50's surf and garage that you can't beat: hypnotic drums, poisonous guitars, dangerous vocals.
