"If you don't have a fake ID or enough money to bribe your way in, then make it come to you — the indie rock scene, that is. SF's notorious dearth of all ages venues (Bottom of the Hill and Rickshaw being two occasional exceptions) has fed the Club Sandwich collective's fan base and roster of intermittent gigs held on both sides of the Bay. Recent shows have included psychedelic electro-pranksters Seahorse Liberation Army and lo-fi indie folksters Mt. Eerie, while future events feature local noise heroes Clipd Beaks and frenetic thrashers Jonny X and the Groadies." - Flavorpill
About me: Club Sandwich Bay Area is an all-ages show collective
putting on events for under-the-radar
musicians, mixing touring & local music.
We have to be extremely selective about booking shows since WE ARE NOT A VENUE, and we are all volunteers. Shows are almost always curated around a touring act, and only happen when we have enough time & energy to make them awesome. Take a look at some of our past shows to see what kind of bands we work with. Thanks!

Thank you for being my ms friend. If you
like Female Fronted Metal Hopefully you
will be a fan too . So go ahead and give one full listen of this
song and tell me what you think.
One-sided 12" EP. High Castle is your older brother's favorite band, assuming he grew up on a steady diet of '90s underground rock. They produce a viscous byproduct of the jams you grew up on dragged through a record collection's worth of sludge and muck. Once you decide to bring it, that's kinda the only way to go. The "You're on Your Own Way" EP is the debut record for the trio of Erin Allen (Child Pornography, Work), Shaggy Denton (Hips, Saboteurs), and Wilson Drozdowski (Duchesses, Woman's Worth), a culmination of songs road tested on summer 2008 US tour and written post-New Year's hallucinations. Songs about garbage strikes, astral projection, lonely security guards, hedonism, dropping out, meditation, injustice, misplaced hearts...and more. In a short life span the band has played shows with such highlights of the American/Candian underground as Abe Vigoda, Shearing Pinx, Strip Mall Seizures, and USAISAMONSTER if that gives you an idea of their neighborhood. Seven short bursts of salvation, pressing of 500, mastered by Weasel Walter. Two color silkscreened covers by Paul Morgan (Club Sandwich, Business Lady). "I feel like I'm back in ear-bleeding country with the trio's Unwound-ishly, damaged style of noisy rock, nursing an insatiable appetite for more tinfoil-scorched guitar scuzz, blown-out low end, and full-tilt drum thwackage. As each song unloads, three howling voices punctuate the maelstrom...Whatever avenue this threesome decides to explore in the future — be it noisesome or poppy — I know I'll be all ears." - Chris Sabbath, SF Bay Guardian
