Alice Donut is back this weekend, this time at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco. This will only be their 5th and 6th shows over the past 15 years.
Last night, they played a cross section of hits, tonight they promise to play their seminal album Untidy Suicides of Your Degenerate Children in its entirety. Then the 2-day residency is over.
This was a promo shot from their rehearsal on Thursday.
Editor's Note: Why such a short blurb for such a great band? Because between the last set of shows in New York, and this set of shows in San Francisco, I went totally deaf. If you can hear, even a little bit, I implore you to make that trip to San Francisco tonight.
I desperately wanted to review last nights performance for Beacon of Speech, but I only heard the songs in my memories by watching the closed captions. Hardly a fair way to judge any show.
I loved that the band was back together.
They looked like they loved performing with each other.

Ade Rowe wrote a nice article about Alice Donut for the International Times:
I liked it, but Superfan James Lynch III said that the article had numerous grammatical and factual errors.

DuBrul's article brought a tear to my eye.
