San Francisco's favorite dreamy, poppy band Loquat will be hitting Cafe Du Nord every Thursday this May with a great line-up of opening acts. This Thursday's openers are Head Like a Kite (Seattle) and Greycoats (Minneapolis), with DJ Elise from Soma FM on the decks.

Future Thursdays in May include Juliette Commagère (LA), Foxtail Somersault (SF), Malbec (LA), Aim Low Kid (SF), Jen & Abby (LA), and The Union Trade (SF). BAGel Radio’s DJ Ted is also set to DJ, and Mark Eitzel and Raul Sanchez will make special guest appearances.

Check out SFist's interview with Loquat bassist Anthony Gordon, as well as his photos from Loquat's tour last fall.
