Jello Biafra to do DJ Pop-Up at Oldie's Night

— By Kevin Montgomery (@kevinmonty) |

If you're like me, you scroll right past the low-rent and low-effort promotions hawked on Mission Mission, but this week's blast for Primo's Oldie's Night is worthy of everyone's attention: former Dead Kennedy's frontman and Green Party presidential candidate Jello Biafra will follow in John Avalos footsteps and guest DJ this week's edition of Oldie's Night.  And since Jello grew up when Oldie's Night material dominated the radio charts, we trust it'll be a helluva show.

Anyway, its admission is priced at Not Nearly Enough and goes down at 9pm this Friday at Knockout.

RSVP and invite your oh whatever…

Behind The Jams: The DJ Primo Story

— By Kevin Montgomery (@kevinmonty) |

If you are not immediately familiar with DJ Primo (and we're sure you are), he's the man behind seemingly half of San Francisco's best DJ nights.  And this mini-doc pretty much tells you why that's so: total obsession with music, with no boring-ass adult day job to distract him, and a whole lot of goofy solo apartment dancing.  It's definitely worth a watch, if you're into this sort of thing, or looking for a brief escape from the post-holiday work grind. Plus, it feels like watching an indie episode of Hoarders.

Anyway, if you aren't familiar with Primo and are looking to party on Friday, you can get yourself acquainted at Oldies Night at The Knockout.
