The Music Tapes at Cloud9

The Music Tapes are hosting a Carnival!

We here at the Ragers blog love to unwind with our friends over at Cloud9 in Berkeley. They have created a space equal parts sanctuary and venue. Tonight, we are very excited to join them for an evening of ephemeral delights. The Music Tapes, featuring Julian Koster (Neutral Milk Hotel) and Robbie Cucchiaro, are adding to the bohemian carnival feel of the space by erecting a little bigtop and performing their seductive tunes alongside sideshow acts and visual delights.     musictapes

Mortar and Pestle Album Release Party

Don’t miss the Oakland neo-soul sensations Mortar & Pestle as they take over the New Parish this Friday night.

The brand new EP from Oakland-based trio Mortar and Pestle shimmers on the edges between postrock & neosoul. Lush synth beds provide Janaysa Lambert’s vocals with plenty of room to expand.

Their album release show at the New Parish this coming Friday night May 10th promises to be a memorable one.

Miguel Oracle Concert (and a fresh remix from Cashmere Cat)

Fresh off killing it at the Oracle Arena here in the Town, Miguel raised the bar for SNL musical artists with his surprising psych-punk arrangements.

Here is a superb new remix from Cashmere Cat.
