Slim's

There’s no way we can’t acknowledge this larger-than-life space. Here’s to Slim’s: thirty, flirty and thriving to the very end. 

The lights of the Great American Music Hall changed to a soft, but electric, blue as sensational indie duo, Surf Curse, stepped onto the stage.

Reinhart may be an all-Midwestern girl, but she said her love for San Francisco made her feel like she could be herself onstage.

Start your week off by checking out the new singles from Taylor Swift, Kim Petras and FKA Twigs.

Throughout the performance, Ezra Collective stood true to its name by upholding a synchronized and blended sound founded on a basis of togetherness.

So here I am, a few days before my 21st birthday, demanding myself to incorporate art into my day and honestly, it’s exhausting. But yesterday, when I arrived at Slim’s and Ezra Collective started dancing on the stage for us, I rediscovered what Balmeo had been saying this whole time.

For the quaking electricity that overtook the room at his presence, Beatty took on a more demure bearing. It proved to be a nice contrast to the screaming youngsters practically vibrating with excitement.

The young singer very appropriately did a cover of Etta James’ “I’d Rather Go Blind,” getting in touch with the old-soul blues genre he is inspired by. Gripping his belt buckle and belting the gripping lyrics, van den Broek brought a modern howl to the 1968 jazz classic.

Not wanting the night to end, Dead Sara lead singer said, “Convince me to stay here” to the Slim’s crowd. As the next song started, she said, “I wanna lick all of your faces.”

If that list is indicative of anything, it’s that we are incredibly lucky to live in the Bay Area where great music venues abound.
