Builder of Oakland's Fox Theater Once Imprisoned For 'White Slavery'
-- Lavay Smith and Her Red Hot Skillet Lickers: Not only does this "Basie-esque" outfit perform lush jazz and blues tunes, but the chanteuse is pretty funny in between songs. Check them out tonight at 7 p.m. at the Top of the Mark, InterContinental Mark Hopkins Hotel, One Nob Hill, (999 California); $10.
-- Joan Rivers Theatre Project: Though you're sure to hear even more about her pendulous, sagging breasts, her new project is also poignantly autobiographical. Aw. Show starts at 8 p.m. at the Magic Theatre, Fort Mason, Bldg. D (at Marina & Buchanan); $25-$40.
-- Gogol Bordello: New York City's LES "Gypsy punk band" (i.e., art rock) performs tonight at 8 p.m. at the Fillmore, 1805 Geary (at Fillmore); $22.50.
-- "The Get Down": This club night in the Lower Haight (ack!) offers indie-rock and punk tunes that you can dance to all night long. How delightful! Music starts at 10 p.m. at Underground SF; 424 Haight; $5

also tonight, you can come check out the launch party for WireTap Music (www.wiretapmusic.com), a new blog/webzine entirely dedicated to the local Bay Area music scene.
the show will feature two awesome local bands, Little Teeth and Pidgeon, as well as guest DJs. cost is a mere $6, and the show is benefitting the local chapter of NARAL Pro-Choice America. @ El Rio (3158 Mission St x Cesar Chavez), 9:00 pm.
that is, if you don't already have tix for the Joan Rivers Theatre Project...
Um, are you kidding with the Gogol Bordello "art rock" swipe? They really are Gypsy Punk. Or Alternative Romany. Just take a listen and learn. Art rock is written for listening and specifically NOT for dancing (stuff like King Crimson, Yes, Genesis). Gogol Bordello is ALL ABOUT THE DANCING, insane Ukranian pogoing, more specifically!! I mean, people were wringing the sweat out of their shirts on the sidewalk outside the Fillmore after the show.
