Hey Static & Blurers,
Another week, another run of shows across the Bay. Orchestral legends. Sweat-soaked chaos. If you weren’t there, we’ve got you covered.
Stewart Copeland’s Police Deranged for Orchestra @ SFJAZZ
“Let’s play some hits!” And they sure did!
From “Message in a Bottle” to “Every Breath You Take,” Stewart Copeland turned SFJAZZ into something bigger than a concert. Part symphony. Part rock. All joy.

Ulrika Spacek @ Rickshaw Stop
“A kind of unpretentious Radiohead… off-kilter enough to keep you guessing.”
Shadowy lighting, hypnotic arrangements, and a set that never sat still.

Flamin’ Groovies @ The Chapel
“A repertoire that spans decades and still gets people dancing.”
Nearly 60 years in, this San Francisco band still knows how to throw a proper rock ’n’ roll show.

Die Spitz @ The Independent
“Feral, unfiltered energy… a room ready to burst.”
Fresh off Coachella, Die Spitz brought chaos, precision, and a whole lot of sweat to a sold-out crowd.
