This weekend would have been David Bowie’s 70th birthday, but instead it’s the one-year anniversary of Bowie’s passing to the great beyond. Since San Francisco so adores the Man Who Fell to Earth and Sold the World, a long list of Bowie-themed events, performances, sing-alongs, and movie screenings are scheduled to commemorate his/her/their combined birthday and deathday. For all you China Girls, Young Americans and Absolute Beginners who are inclined to glitter up and paint Aladdin Sane lightning bolts on your face, we’ve compiled this list of Bowie bashes that will wham, bam and thank you ma’am at bars, dance floors and theaters across the Bay Area.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 6
Bowie Tribute Sing-Along with Kitten on the Keys
Screwball chanteuse Kitten On The Keys kicks off the commemorations with a free happy hour cabaret sing-along at the new Bar Fluxus in the Hotel Des Arts. “Bowie's songs translate into excellent cabaret fare for voice and piano,” Ms. On The Keys told SFist. “I wanted to give people a place to mourn yet celebrate Bowie by singing along with me. Sing-alongs can be cathartic. Plus I love songs about outer space.”
