Popular Noise Foundation benefit for SF musicians
2 January 2001

San Francisco’s Popular Noise Foundation, founded in 2000 in response to the city’s disintegrating infrastructure for developing musicians, has announced the second of a series of monthly benefit concerts to take place Friday, 19 January at Bottom Of The Hill. Titled Cover For Cover, the series features local Bay Area artists performing covers of other local artists. The lineup for the January edition includes Drizzoletto, Ryan Kihn (of The Greg Kihn band), Kindness, Victor Krummenacher (ex Camper Van Beethoven), Paula Murray Trio, New Dealers, Pansy Division, Storm, StuntMonkey, Tang, Vegas De Milo, and Noe Venable.
The Popular Noise Foundation last year joined the previously established Save Local Music collective and the Organized Tenants of Downtown Rehearsal (the latter consisting of the 500 bands evicted in October 2000 from the city’s most important rehearsal space, many now left with nowhere to practice) to try to compensate for some of San Francisco’s gentrification, a seemingly unstoppable trend that is endangering the local music scene. PNF’s founders include Noise Pop Festival founder Kevin Arnold, garageband.com founder and former Talking Head Jerry Harrison, and Pavement’s Scott Kannberg. | Popular Noise Foundation | | Save Art/Organized Tenants of DR | | Save Local Music | | Bottom Of The Hill | | top of page |
