For now, let's focus on Popscene's continued success in picking the perfect bands for their Thursday night soirées at 330 Ritch Street. Though they didn't make the Popscene's Top 20 Hottest Acts, this week it's L.A.'s indie-rock band, Division Day. (Maybe they'll have a chance for next year's list!) Division Day has had a full schedule this year: releasing several awesome remixes including Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence", touring across the country making stops in San Francisco earlier in September and released a new CD entitled, Beartrap Island. They're on a roll and it's time to celebrate their successes; they'll be partying over at Popscene on Thursday.
Saturday includes one of our favorite San Francisco's artists, Persephone's Bees. With the 2006 release of Notes from the Underworld, Persephone's Bees are still gaining a lot of attraction from their quirky Russian-influenced pop music. They just recorded the "Little Boxes" theme song from the hit Showtime TV show, "Weeds" which aired in October. The best part about this is they are opening for The Psychedelic Furs, the punk-rockers from the late seventies into the early nineties. They're back and they are still rocking thirty years later. Damn.
