Sisters of Mercy Return to LA

Published Thu, 14 Nov 2024 20:37:41 GMT

Sisters of Mercy Return to LA: After ten Sisters-less years, Los Angeles’ goth/darkwave/death disco fans can be forgiven for feeling a little starved. Frontman Andrew Eldritch may have mixed feeling about that, and those labels. As readers will rediscover from our Sisters of Mercy / Cruel World Fest cover story (out tomorrow), the man wants nothing to do with any such scene. He seems to hate the idea of “pasty-faced dweebs” waxing nostalgic to old Sisters tunes, and he certainly hates the term “goth.”And yet, let’s be honest, the crossover of fans attending this gig at the Hollywood Palladium and those going to Cruel World is pretty thick. Despite Eldritch’s protests, there were plenty of pasty faces on show on Monday night. The clothes were 99 percent black, and much of those were leather, latex and/or lace. The frontman can moan all he wants, but his adoring audience is what it is.That said, we wouldn’t want him any other way. The un...

SF Giants’ Taylor Rogers threw away his glove and hasn’t allowed a run since

Published Thu, 14 Nov 2024 20:37:41 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — Taylor Rogers had a parting message Tuesday night after five minutes of answering reporters’ questions following his scoreless inning of work in the Giants’ 4-3 win over the Phillies, in which the bullpen took down 17 of the 27 outs.“It’s nice to talk you,” the left-handed reliever said. “When it’s not bad.”The last time Rogers met with a scrum of media, he had just tossed his glove in the trash. Unlike starting pitchers, who typically answer questions after each game, relievers too often only meet large groups of press when something’s gone wrong. And for the first two weeks of this season, lots had gone wrong for Rogers, a $33 million free-agent pick up, culminating in a disastrous four-run, four-walk outing in a loss to the Dodgers on April 12 that prompted Rogers to find the nearest trash receptacle, a black bin in the corner of the third-base dugout.That was the last anyone saw of that particular black Rawlin...

There’s a ton of cool shows and concerts to see and hear in the Bay Area this weekend and beyond. Here is a partial roundupo.Hiromi settles into Yoshi’sOver the past 20 years, no musician has done more to expand the idiom of jazz/rock fusion than Japanese pianist/keyboardist Hiromi.Ever since Ahmad Jamal co-produced her first album, 2003’s “Another Mind,” she’s recorded a series of fascinating projects displaying her overwhelming technique and fecund imagination. Equally commanding performing solo, trio or quartet with a guitarist, Hiromi has yet to record her own music with a horn player, which makes her divided five-night Yoshi’s run particularly intriguing.The new quartet she brings to Oakland bristles with brilliance, featuring French electric bass star Hadrien Feraud, who’s toured and recorded with fusion pioneers Chick Corea and John McLaughlin; Los Angeles studio mainstay Gene Coye on drums; and rising 28-year-old trumpeter Adam O’Farrill, scion of one of Latin jazz’s l...

New chair appointed to head elections board in Georgia’s Fulton County

Published Thu, 14 Nov 2024 20:37:41 GMT

The elections board in Georgia’s most populous county, a Democratic stronghold targeted by former President Donald Trump after his narrow 2020 loss in the state, will soon have new leadership.The Fulton County Board of Commissioners voted Wednesday to approve the selection of lawyer Patrise Perkins-Hooker to serve as chair of the county Registration and Elections Board. Her nomination — announced at the start of Wednesday’s commission meeting — came as a surprise to many since commission Chairman Robb Pitts had last week nominated former commissioner Lee Morris to fill the seat.The nomination of Morris, a Republican, would have shifted control of the the elections board from Democrats to Republicans in the heavily Democratic county, which includes most of Atlanta and is home to just over 1 million people. The county Democratic and Republican parties get two appointments apiece to round out the five-person board.Democrats and voting rights activists had raised alarms and ...
