Impromptu Band Performance on the streets a couple of blocks from my apt..

11:00p.m Monday night.. I am working at home and I hear some great music coming from outside.. seems like it's nearby a few blocks away. Walked out to go check it out and it was am impromptu performance by the marines band. They had come to town for the Blue Angels Air Show and were staying at hotel nearby and I guess as it's their last night in SF, they were partying it up a notch. This is one of the advantages of living in downtown close to all the happening places.

Stern Grove Concert - BajoFondo - Argentinian and Uruguayian music.

Went to Stern Grove Concert yesterday (http://www.sterngrove.org/08032008.html) with Levi and Greg to watch BajoFondo. The group plays a mixture of Argentinian and Uruguayian music. It was my second stern grove this year and it was as awesome as the first one (Rashid Taha). They really rocked the crowd. We could not find any good spots in the grass or on the hills, but we somehow managed to get in to the bullpen just in the front of the stage and experience it up close.. Was great !

The group's intro from SN website : Internationally acclaimed Bajofondo, a collective of Argentine and Uruguayan artists, defy easy definition, blending the drama and passion of tango music with diverse electronic genres ranging from house, trance and trip hop to dub, drum and bass, and more.
