Live This Month: January 2012 — an audio guide through SF concerts this month (Podcast #268)

Photos by: Charlie Homo White Cloud, Atole and Starfucker deserved a better slot than a Tuesday evening, and dished out a unique blend of feedback-heavy electro pop that felt better suited for a Friday.  Local group White Cloud opened the night with a mellow - at least in comparison to Starfucker - set featuring rhythmic change-ups and occasional dissonance, while Atole delivered lots of dance-worthy synth rock punctuated with abstract vocals. Live touches like beat-boxing, scratching and ubiquitous Alan Watts samples did good things for Starfucker's performance, which also saw the the Portland quartet branching out into more intentional feedback than [...]
