Social Studies takes up residency at Brick & Mortar Music Hall during November, and The Bay Bridged is proud to present the first of the band’s four shows on November 4, when the band is joined by local faves Upstairs Downstairs and Tartufi.

Social Studies, now nearly a year removed from their outstanding sophomore effort Developer, has set up four remarkable shows for their month-long stay near the corner of Mission and 13th, with the likes of Cannon and Clouds, Foli, Ash Reiter, and The She’s filling out the last three bills. The residency should prove to be four nights of moving music from some of our favorite local acts, and the band is keeping everything about the shows close to home, as even the show poster (above) was designed by guitarist Tom Smith.

Readying their third album for release at an undetermined future date, Social Studies recently premiered the single “Territories” via a Converse Rubber Tracks “Track of the Week” feature. The song was recorded earlier this year at Patrick Brown’s Different Fur Studios in San Francisco, and you can watch a short video of the recording session below and get a free download of the track on Converse’s Facebook page. Full details on Social Studies’ November residency at Brick and Mortar follow the video, and we’ll see you next Monday night at The Bay Bridged-presented gig.
