Shows to Love: As You Like It Presents | Ghostly Meets Spectral
SAN FRANCISCO TONIGHT: There are shows that are not to be missed, and then there are shows that you can be certain are never EVER going to happen again. Tonight, our friends with As You Like It are bringing out one of THOSE kinds of lineups, with a full room of Ghostly International and Spectral Sound artists for your dome. Featuring Ryan Crosson (Spectral/ Visionquest), (the almost NEVER seen) Osborne (Ghostly/ Spectral), and Solvent (Ghostly), all of which adds up to—well, it’s just all a bit too exciting to put into words, really.
And yes, though this is very last minute, discounted presale tickets are STILL available here (until 6pm PST), and more will be available at the door.
Still need convincing? Plug in to the sets below, and prepare for awesome. See you at Public Works!
Ryan Crosson is one of the four gents who make up powerhouse collaboration Visionquest, and as far as fast-rising artists are concerned, this one comes with a bullet.
Osborne is Todd Osborn is Soundmurderer is Superstructure is one half of TNT … and the list goes on, really. For more on him and his varied career, check out this interview he did with the Red Bull Music Academy here. Also, check out his mix for the XLR8R Podcast here.
Solvent has been making beautiful, “genre-defying” electronic music for a decade and a half, and his most recent album, Subject to Shift was released in 2010 on Ghostly International. You can also find his releases on Morr Music as well as his own label, Suction Records.
Happening in San Francisco at Public Works tonight. I don’t think we need to tell you this one’s unmissable, but just in case you needed the reminder, tickets are still on sale.
ANIMAL COLLECTIVE BIG SUR SHOW MOVED TO SANTA CRUZ

Apparently the rainy season in Northern California has been harsh enough to justify some of the complaints from ever-sunny Californians this year, or so the news from Animal Collective’s camp would have you hear. According to their Facebook page, they’ve had to cancel their April 14 appearance in Big Sur, due to the closure of Highway 1 through the area.
The good news is, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, and the band have rescheduled their performance at the Catalyst Nightclub in Santa Cruz. What does this mean for you? Well, at noon tomorrow, April 7, another 650 tickets will be going on sale. Meanwhile, all Big Sur tickets will be honored at the door (and you’ll even be given a refund for the cost difference). You can find more information about this at FolkYeah.
2562 Tonight in Santa Cruz, CA

My friends and extended musical family never seem to fail in impressing me. Tonight, because one of the brightest crayons in the box took a chance on a rare opportunity, I get to see one of my greatest musical heroes and influences of the past few years, 2562, in one of the most intimate settings ever. To say I’m grateful would be a gross understatement; things like this don’t happen without raw talent at your side.
If you’re in Santa Cruz (or interested in driving down/up) and want further info about this event, go here. Meanwhile, see you on the dancefloor tonight!
