How dare they finalize this list prior to Friday's Gold Chains show at The Rickshaw!!!
It looks like they used 2006 New Year's Eve show in their 2007 list...
7. Blonde Redhead/Shiny Toy Guns, December 31
So maybe, if Gold Chain knocks your panties off, it might make next year's lists! ;)
yeah, we love Gold Chains. played a wicked party for us on NYE a few years ago @ Luna Lounge and we'll definitely be out at Rickshaw this Friday!
and to clarify, the "top 20 popscene shows of 2007" was a list of the best 'popscene shows' from Thursday nights this year @ 330 ritch street, or events we threw at other fine SF venues, and not a comprehensive list of ALL shows that happened in SF this year.
finally, the reason our Blonde Redhead/Shiny Toy Guns show made the 2007 list was because both acts went on after midnight, so technically, they played this year.
There you have it! Thanks for the clarification...
