It’s a scene that continues to attract plenty of new fans and bands, even four decades after its emergence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland’s darkwave scene is much more than a niche pocket of fandom. The upcoming \u003ca href=\"http://www.neardarkmusic.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Near Dark Festival\u003c/a> connects local bands like \u003ca href=\"https://adrenochromeoakland.bandcamp.com/releases\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Adrenochrome\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://mysticpriestess.bandcamp.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mystic Priestess\u003c/a> to an international tribe stretching from the U.K. to Chile. Co-organizers Gina Marie Scardino and Brianne Hanshaw (both of Adrenochrome) booked a diverse array of darkwave veterans and emerging bands for three nights of shows taking place Sept. 13–15 at The Golden Bull, The Uptown and Eli’s Mile High Club.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our main goal is bringing bands and people to Oakland who have never played or been here,” says Scardino, who also plays in post-punk trio Ötzi and owns Near Dark Records and King Kog bike shop. Last year, she helped book the West Coast Women’s Darkwave Festival as well as the first edition of Near Dark. She says she’s proud to provide this rare opportunity to see international legends in Oakland’s own backyard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13840575\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13840575\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/Adrenochrome-Near-Dark-curators-Gina-Marie-Brianne-Hanshaw-plus-Andres-Ruiz-and-Alex-Rivas_credit_-MatthewKadi-800x533.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/Adrenochrome-Near-Dark-curators-Gina-Marie-Brianne-Hanshaw-plus-Andres-Ruiz-and-Alex-Rivas_credit_-MatthewKadi-800x533.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/Adrenochrome-Near-Dark-curators-Gina-Marie-Brianne-Hanshaw-plus-Andres-Ruiz-and-Alex-Rivas_credit_-MatthewKadi-160x107.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/Adrenochrome-Near-Dark-curators-Gina-Marie-Brianne-Hanshaw-plus-Andres-Ruiz-and-Alex-Rivas_credit_-MatthewKadi-768x512.jpeg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/Adrenochrome-Near-Dark-curators-Gina-Marie-Brianne-Hanshaw-plus-Andres-Ruiz-and-Alex-Rivas_credit_-MatthewKadi.jpeg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/Adrenochrome-Near-Dark-curators-Gina-Marie-Brianne-Hanshaw-plus-Andres-Ruiz-and-Alex-Rivas_credit_-MatthewKadi-240x160.jpeg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/Adrenochrome-Near-Dark-curators-Gina-Marie-Brianne-Hanshaw-plus-Andres-Ruiz-and-Alex-Rivas_credit_-MatthewKadi-375x250.jpeg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/Adrenochrome-Near-Dark-curators-Gina-Marie-Brianne-Hanshaw-plus-Andres-Ruiz-and-Alex-Rivas_credit_-MatthewKadi-520x347.jpeg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Adrenochrome, including Near Dark fest curators Gina Marie Scardino (on vocals) and Brianne Hanshaw (on drums) open the Near Dark festival on Sept. 13 at The Golden Bull. \u003ccite>(Matthe Kadi)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>There’s a conscious effort on Scardino and Hanshaw’s part to ensure that their festival is as inclusive as possible.

She figured the tight-knit community of darkwave and post-punk fans in Oakland would support a similar fest. Named after the nascent music label she founded in 2017, each evening of Near Dark is a miniature experiment in genre-blending, with several long-established headliners—including Los Angeles’ Kommunity FK celebrating their 40-year anniversary—supported by a constellation of more recent formations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every lineup from start to finish is going to be mind-blowing,” promises Scardino.

It’s a scene that continues to attract plenty of new fans and bands, even four decades after its emergence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland’s darkwave scene is much more than a niche pocket of fandom. The upcoming \u003ca href=\"http://www.neardarkmusic.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Near Dark Festival\u003c/a> connects local bands like \u003ca href=\"https://adrenochromeoakland.bandcamp.com/releases\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Adrenochrome\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://mysticpriestess.bandcamp.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mystic Priestess\u003c/a> to an international tribe stretching from the U.K. to Chile. Co-organizers Gina Marie Scardino and Brianne Hanshaw (both of Adrenochrome) booked a diverse array of darkwave veterans and emerging bands for three nights of shows taking place Sept. 13–15 at The Golden Bull, The Uptown and Eli’s Mile High Club.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our main goal is bringing bands and people to Oakland who have never played or been here,” says Scardino, who also plays in post-punk trio Ötzi and owns Near Dark Records and King Kog bike shop. Last year, she helped book the West Coast Women’s Darkwave Festival as well as the first edition of Near Dark. She says she’s proud to provide this rare opportunity to see international legends in Oakland’s own backyard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13840575\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13840575\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/Adrenochrome-Near-Dark-curators-Gina-Marie-Brianne-Hanshaw-plus-Andres-Ruiz-and-Alex-Rivas_credit_-MatthewKadi-800x533.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/Adrenochrome-Near-Dark-curators-Gina-Marie-Brianne-Hanshaw-plus-Andres-Ruiz-and-Alex-Rivas_credit_-MatthewKadi-800x533.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/Adrenochrome-Near-Dark-curators-Gina-Marie-Brianne-Hanshaw-plus-Andres-Ruiz-and-Alex-Rivas_credit_-MatthewKadi-160x107.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/Adrenochrome-Near-Dark-curators-Gina-Marie-Brianne-Hanshaw-plus-Andres-Ruiz-and-Alex-Rivas_credit_-MatthewKadi-768x512.jpeg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/Adrenochrome-Near-Dark-curators-Gina-Marie-Brianne-Hanshaw-plus-Andres-Ruiz-and-Alex-Rivas_credit_-MatthewKadi.jpeg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/Adrenochrome-Near-Dark-curators-Gina-Marie-Brianne-Hanshaw-plus-Andres-Ruiz-and-Alex-Rivas_credit_-MatthewKadi-240x160.jpeg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/Adrenochrome-Near-Dark-curators-Gina-Marie-Brianne-Hanshaw-plus-Andres-Ruiz-and-Alex-Rivas_credit_-MatthewKadi-375x250.jpeg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/09/Adrenochrome-Near-Dark-curators-Gina-Marie-Brianne-Hanshaw-plus-Andres-Ruiz-and-Alex-Rivas_credit_-MatthewKadi-520x347.jpeg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Adrenochrome, including Near Dark fest curators Gina Marie Scardino (on vocals) and Brianne Hanshaw (on drums) open the Near Dark festival on Sept. 13 at The Golden Bull. \u003ccite>(Matthe Kadi)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>There’s a conscious effort on Scardino and Hanshaw’s part to ensure that their festival is as inclusive as possible.

That she couldn’t find an all-ages venue for this year’s festival.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>On Oct. 6, the Hemlock Tavern, the longtime Tenderloin rock bar, will celebrate its 17th anniversary. But the occasion is bittersweet: the celebration is also a goodbye party, as the venue is slated for demolition and will close its doors—at least in this iteration—after its last show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”ruGaPjSyklxBU3WXMFCwlcKate0cwAs2″]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Hemlock has, per the estimate of its longtime booker, Tony Bedard, hosted around 15,000 bands since opening in 2001. Animal Collective, Joanna Newsom, Beach House, Reggie Watts, Ty Segall and Parquet Courts are just a few of the high-caliber indie rock and pop acts that cut their teeth on the Hemlock’s intimate stage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Hemlock staff has always had an ear for the weird and obscure. Other memorable performances included the exploratory acoustic guitar work of the late Jack Rose; the heavy and beautiful droning feedback of Liz Harris’s Grouper; and, in an especially memorable combination, Captain Beefheart sideman Moris Teper alongside U.K. alternative icon PJ Harvey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dolmen Property Group purchased the Hemlock in 2015. Last week, it was announced that managing partner Don Alan has \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13839003/hemlock-tavern-to-close-in-early-october\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">sold the business\u003c/a> after the building’s other tenants accepted buyouts. A 54-unit commercial-residential development is slated for the Polk Street property. Dolmen currently plans to open a new Hemlock Tavern in the building, but this version won’t be affiliated with its current management.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13816998\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13816998\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/12/Hemlock_Banners194-1024x926-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"The longtime bar and live rock venue is being sold to a developer with plans to reopen a new, unrelated 'Hemlock Tavern.'\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/12/Hemlock_Banners194-1024x926-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/12/Hemlock_Banners194-1024x926-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/12/Hemlock_Banners194-1024x926-768x432.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/12/Hemlock_Banners194-1024x926-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/12/Hemlock_Banners194-1024x926-960x540.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/12/Hemlock_Banners194-1024x926.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/12/Hemlock_Banners194-1024x926-240x135.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/12/Hemlock_Banners194-1024x926-375x211.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/12/Hemlock_Banners194-1024x926-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The longtime bar and live rock venue is being sold to a developer with plans to reopen a new, unrelated ‘Hemlock Tavern.’ \u003ccite>(Courtesy Hemlock Tavern)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For a generation of musicians and fans that came to appreciate the current Hemlock’s adventurousness—its willingness to book small acts rather than aiming for big stars—the news stings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We gave shows to bands that we liked that were underappreciated,” Bedard says. “Almost all the local bands for the last 17 years at one point or another have played [here]. Some we ended up giving a lot of shows to, and some play a couple of shows and boom, they blow up and they’re on to bigger and better things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was to help these bands out because I felt like they needed to be heard,” says Debra Zeller, a longtime show photographer who also books bands at the Hemlock.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>An underground mainstay\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The Hemlock’s opening followed the closing of another longtime Tenderloin rock club, Kimo’s, and quickly attracted a loyal following of underground and alternative music fans. A key figure who helped get the Hemlock off the ground was musician and engineer Kyle Statham. Now living in Memphis, Statham previously owned and operated Blind Pig Studios in the Tenderloin when he learned about Alan’s plans to open a new bar and joined him as co-owner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Don was looking at these different places in the Mission,” says Statham. “I say, ‘No, no, no, no, there’s enough bars in the Mission! The Tenderloin’s a little dicey, but, man, there’s a ton of people.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Statham and Alan settled on the former location of a famed Tenderloin gay bar, The Giraffe, which had existed in one form or another since the 1950s. Stories circulate about how Statham was still coating the Hemlock’s bar with shellac just hours before the tavern formally opened. Statham’s audio engineering expertise also helped the noisy bar avoid complaints—something Kimo’s had struggled with for years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Don and Kyle and those guys sunk a bunch of money into extra soundproofing and sound reinforcement for the room,” says Bedard. “When he put that room together, he did it with the ear and the eye of an engineer. I think the fact the room sounded as good as it did, that was a bit of a calling card—one reason that we were able to attract bands to play there early on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bedard’s hiring proved to be another crucial step. Initial show bookings were somewhat haphazard. (Bedard and Zeller recall at least one situation when three different bills of bands showed up, all thinking they were playing the same night.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Tony had been very involved in all sorts of different scenes,” remembers George Chen, whose bands Kit, 7 Year Rabbit Cycle and Common Eider King Eider performed at the Hemlock. “He was an in for the kind of scene that was Mission- and Oakland-based people. He has really broad and specific tastes. He was willing to go along with a lot of things; he was willing to take a lot more chances than a lot of other bookers in that era.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13839558\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13839558\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/08/hem4-800x535.jpg\" alt=\"Vetiver performs at the Hemlock Tavern in 2002. \" width=\"800\" height=\"535\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/08/hem4-800x535.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/08/hem4-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/08/hem4-768x513.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/08/hem4-1020x682.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/08/hem4-1200x802.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/08/hem4-1180x789.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/08/hem4-960x642.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/08/hem4-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/08/hem4-375x251.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/08/hem4-520x348.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/08/hem4.jpg 1532w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vetiver performs at the Hemlock Tavern in 2002. \u003ccite>(Debra Zeller)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Even as Bedard kept his eye out for touring talent coming through town, he kept the emphasis on new, local acts, including bands like Vetiver, Kelley Stoltz, Xiu Xiu and Hunx and His Punx, not to mention other Northern California groups like Comets on Fire. The focus on unknown bands was part of the inevitable limitations of a small performance space, but also stemmed from his commitment to making sure new performers had a place to start.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At the time, you would aspire to certain rooms,” Chen says. “For some people, the Hemlock became that room, but because it could be cozy, it was an attainable goal to have.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think of all of the bands that would not have gotten a toehold otherwise,” says Bedard. “There was really a high bar. If you wanted to get into Bottom of the Hill or anything like that, it was really tough. There was this whole underground scene bubbling up, right?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s why with my shows, too, it was to help these bands out because I felt like they needed to be heard,” says Zeller. “Eventually they did gain a following and grew to bigger clubs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The affordability crisis curbs the good times\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Bedard says he approached Zeller to help with booking because she liked bands with a cleaner sound while he preferred noise and chaos. Aside from booking emerging local favorites of the 2000s, including Film School and the Stratford 4, Zeller was also instrumental in putting on a famed secret show by Chan Marshall, who performs as Cat Power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13839559\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13839559\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/08/hem5-800x1191.jpg\" alt=\"Cat Power at the Hemlock Tavern in 2002.\" width=\"800\" height=\"1191\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/08/hem5.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/08/hem5-160x238.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/08/hem5-768x1143.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/08/hem5-240x357.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/08/hem5-375x558.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/08/hem5-520x774.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cat Power at the Hemlock Tavern in 2002. \u003ccite>(Debra Zeller)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“This was an infamous day and night at the Hemlock,” Bedard says, recalling how, per the artist’s request, the bar had to borrow a piano from a local music store. “After that show was over, we had to roll the piano out the side door, roll it down Hemlock Alley towards Polk to the piano store. It started to get away from us! So flashing in front of our eyes, this piano’s going to go rolling into Polk Street traffic and we were trying to wrangle and manhandle this piano into the front door of the club.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bedard and Zeller have plenty of other stories about memorable shows. On a wholly separate evening in 2007, the late underground rocker Jay Reatard took offense to a clock meant to keep bands on time onstage and smashed it over his own head—to Bedard’s admitted relief, as he wasn’t fond of said clock to begin with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following the booking of surrealist anti-comic Neil Hamburger, Bedard also began booking monthly standup comedy shows under the name Club Chuckles in 2003, leading to early appearances by now-famed comedians like Ali Wong and Amy Schumer. “[We pulled] out the all the bar totals for some rock ‘n’ roll shows versus these comedy shows I had booked, and we came to the discovery that Neil Hamburger had set the all-time single bar record,” Bedard recalls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With booking giant Goldenvoice recently taking over Slim’s and Great American Music Hall—as well as the Hemlock’s impending closure—independent booking is becoming increasingly scarce in San Francisco’s live music scene. But Bedard says the bigger concern for his community of musicians and fans is the city’s affordability crisis. “It maybe impacts us somewhat, but this is more about Dotcom 2.0: real estate prices, musicians and audiences and bar patrons being priced out of San Francisco,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Statham, for his part, takes a slightly longer view. “I moved there in the late ’80s, and by the early ’90s, I was moaning about how much it changed.

But the occasion is bittersweet: the celebration is also a goodbye party, as the venue is slated for demolition and will close its doors—at least in this iteration—after its last show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Hemlock has, per the estimate of its longtime booker, Tony Bedard, hosted around 15,000 bands since opening in 2001. Animal Collective, Joanna Newsom, Beach House, Reggie Watts, Ty Segall and Parquet Courts are just a few of the high-caliber indie rock and pop acts that cut their teeth on the Hemlock’s intimate stage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Hemlock staff has always had an ear for the weird and obscure. Other memorable performances included the exploratory acoustic guitar work of the late Jack Rose; the heavy and beautiful droning feedback of Liz Harris’s Grouper; and, in an especially memorable combination, Captain Beefheart sideman Moris Teper alongside U.K. alternative icon PJ Harvey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dolmen Property Group purchased the Hemlock in 2015. Last week, it was announced that managing partner Don Alan has \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13839003/hemlock-tavern-to-close-in-early-october\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">sold the business\u003c/a> after the building’s other tenants accepted buyouts. A 54-unit commercial-residential development is slated for the Polk Street property. Dolmen currently plans to open a new Hemlock Tavern in the building, but this version won’t be affiliated with its current management.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13816998\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13816998\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/12/Hemlock_Banners194-1024x926-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"The longtime bar and live rock venue is being sold to a developer with plans to reopen a new, unrelated 'Hemlock Tavern.'\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/12/Hemlock_Banners194-1024x926-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/12/Hemlock_Banners194-1024x926-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/12/Hemlock_Banners194-1024x926-768x432.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/12/Hemlock_Banners194-1024x926-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/12/Hemlock_Banners194-1024x926-960x540.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/12/Hemlock_Banners194-1024x926.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/12/Hemlock_Banners194-1024x926-240x135.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/12/Hemlock_Banners194-1024x926-375x211.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/12/Hemlock_Banners194-1024x926-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The longtime bar and live rock venue is being sold to a developer with plans to reopen a new, unrelated ‘Hemlock Tavern.’ \u003ccite>(Courtesy Hemlock Tavern)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For a generation of musicians and fans that came to appreciate the current Hemlock’s adventurousness—its willingness to book small acts rather than aiming for big stars—the news stings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Some we ended up giving a lot of shows to, and some play a couple of shows and boom, they blow up and they’re on to bigger and better things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was to help these bands out because I felt like they needed to be heard,” says Debra Zeller, a longtime show photographer who also books bands at the Hemlock.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>An underground mainstay\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The Hemlock’s opening followed the closing of another longtime Tenderloin rock club, Kimo’s, and quickly attracted a loyal following of underground and alternative music fans. A key figure who helped get the Hemlock off the ground was musician and engineer Kyle Statham. Now living in Memphis, Statham previously owned and operated Blind Pig Studios in the Tenderloin when he learned about Alan’s plans to open a new bar and joined him as co-owner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Don was looking at these different places in the Mission,” says Statham. “I say, ‘No, no, no, no, there’s enough bars in the Mission! The Tenderloin’s a little dicey, but, man, there’s a ton of people.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Statham and Alan settled on the former location of a famed Tenderloin gay bar, The Giraffe, which had existed in one form or another since the 1950s. Stories circulate about how Statham was still coating the Hemlock’s bar with shellac just hours before the tavern formally opened. Statham’s audio engineering expertise also helped the noisy bar avoid complaints—something Kimo’s had struggled with for years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Don and Kyle and those guys sunk a bunch of money into extra soundproofing and sound reinforcement for the room,” says Bedard. “When he put that room together, he did it with the ear and the eye of an engineer. I think the fact the room sounded as good as it did, that was a bit of a calling card—one reason that we were able to attract bands to play there early on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bedard’s hiring proved to be another crucial step. Initial show bookings were somewhat haphazard. (Bedard and Zeller recall at least one situation when three different bills of bands showed up, all thinking they were playing the same night.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Tony had been very involved in all sorts of different scenes,” remembers George Chen, whose bands Kit, 7 Year Rabbit Cycle and Common Eider King Eider performed at the Hemlock. “He was an in for the kind of scene that was Mission- and Oakland-based people. He has really broad and specific tastes. He was willing to go along with a lot of things; he was willing to take a lot more chances than a lot of other bookers in that era.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13839558\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13839558\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/08/hem4-800x535.jpg\" alt=\"Vetiver performs at the Hemlock Tavern in 2002. \" width=\"800\" height=\"535\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/08/hem4-800x535.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/08/hem4-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/08/hem4-768x513.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/08/hem4-1020x682.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/08/hem4-1200x802.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/08/hem4-1180x789.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/08/hem4-960x642.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/08/hem4-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/08/hem4-375x251.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/08/hem4-520x348.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/08/hem4.jpg 1532w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vetiver performs at the Hemlock Tavern in 2002. \u003ccite>(Debra Zeller)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Even as Bedard kept his eye out for touring talent coming through town, he kept the emphasis on new, local acts, including bands like Vetiver, Kelley Stoltz, Xiu Xiu and Hunx and His Punx, not to mention other Northern California groups like Comets on Fire. The focus on unknown bands was part of the inevitable limitations of a small performance space, but also stemmed from his commitment to making sure new performers had a place to start.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At the time, you would aspire to certain rooms,” Chen says. “For some people, the Hemlock became that room, but because it could be cozy, it was an attainable goal to have.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think of all of the bands that would not have gotten a toehold otherwise,” says Bedard. “There was really a high bar. If you wanted to get into Bottom of the Hill or anything like that, it was really tough. There was this whole underground scene bubbling up, right?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s why with my shows, too, it was to help these bands out because I felt like they needed to be heard,” says Zeller. “Eventually they did gain a following and grew to bigger clubs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The affordability crisis curbs the good times\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Bedard says he approached Zeller to help with booking because she liked bands with a cleaner sound while he preferred noise and chaos. Aside from booking emerging local favorites of the 2000s, including Film School and the Stratford 4, Zeller was also instrumental in putting on a famed secret show by Chan Marshall, who performs as Cat Power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13839559\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13839559\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/08/hem5-800x1191.jpg\" alt=\"Cat Power at the Hemlock Tavern in 2002.\" width=\"800\" height=\"1191\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/08/hem5.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/08/hem5-160x238.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/08/hem5-768x1143.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/08/hem5-240x357.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/08/hem5-375x558.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/08/hem5-520x774.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cat Power at the Hemlock Tavern in 2002. \u003ccite>(Debra Zeller)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“This was an infamous day and night at the Hemlock,” Bedard says, recalling how, per the artist’s request, the bar had to borrow a piano from a local music store. “After that show was over, we had to roll the piano out the side door, roll it down Hemlock Alley towards Polk to the piano store. It started to get away from us! So flashing in front of our eyes, this piano’s going to go rolling into Polk Street traffic and we were trying to wrangle and manhandle this piano into the front door of the club.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bedard and Zeller have plenty of other stories about memorable shows. On a wholly separate evening in 2007, the late underground rocker Jay Reatard took offense to a clock meant to keep bands on time onstage and smashed it over his own head—to Bedard’s admitted relief, as he wasn’t fond of said clock to begin with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following the booking of surrealist anti-comic Neil Hamburger, Bedard also began booking monthly standup comedy shows under the name Club Chuckles in 2003, leading to early appearances by now-famed comedians like Ali Wong and Amy Schumer. “[We pulled] out the all the bar totals for some rock ‘n’ roll shows versus these comedy shows I had booked, and we came to the discovery that Neil Hamburger had set the all-time single bar record,” Bedard recalls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With booking giant Goldenvoice recently taking over Slim’s and Great American Music Hall—as well as the Hemlock’s impending closure—independent booking is becoming increasingly scarce in San Francisco’s live music scene. But Bedard says the bigger concern for his community of musicians and fans is the city’s affordability crisis. “It maybe impacts us somewhat, but this is more about Dotcom 2.0: real estate prices, musicians and audiences and bar patrons being priced out of San Francisco,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Statham, for his part, takes a slightly longer view. “I moved there in the late ’80s, and by the early ’90s, I was moaning about how much it changed. But I’m sure I rented somebody’s apartment that they couldn’t afford any more and I’m sure they looked at me exactly the same way. I think different generations deserve the opportunity to make the best out of what they can make out of it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Up-and-coming bands will find places to play, it’s just going to move somewhere else. In some way, shape or form, it’s going to exist,” says Bedard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People are asking, ‘Oh, are you going to do a big last show at the Hemlock?’” Bedard adds. “At this point, I don’t think there’d be any way to really sum it up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That lead into an offensive riff about country bands being shot while playing in Las Vegas — a reference to the shooting at the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival in October of last year that killed 58 people, the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I mean that sucked, but at least they were country fans and not punk rock fans,” Burkett said.

That lead into an offensive riff about country bands being shot while playing in Las Vegas — a reference to the shooting at the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival in October of last year that killed 58 people, the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I mean that sucked, but at least they were country fans and not punk rock fans,” Burkett said.

Billie Joe Armstrong often takes time to greet Koepke at Green Day’s shows, as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Getting nods from such punk royalty is no big deal to Koepke, who helped put these bands on the map as the creator of seminal concert calendar \u003ca href=\"http://www.calweb.net/~skoepke/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The List\u003c/a>, the flyer and email newsletter he started in 1990. For more than a generation, The List and its associated low-budget HTML site, \u003ca href=\"http://www.foopee.com/punk/the-list/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Foopee\u003c/a>, have been the de-facto way for locals interested in punk, funk, thrash, ska and rock to plan their show calendars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People come up to me in their 30s and say they were 14 years old and used to plan out their lives by this list,” says Koepke. Today, he’s still going strong with nearly 2,000 subscribers — despite the advent of services like Facebook events and Eventbrite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet although he’s held the keys to hardcore heaven for nearly thirty years, The List’s creator remains a face in the crowd.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Digitizing Zine Culture\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Koepke, a Richmond resident and Bay Area native, got into the punk scene around 1989 — when he was well over 30 — after a friend turned him onto Primus and Suicidal Tendencies. At that point, 924 Gilman had been open for only a few years and Koepke frequented it two or three times a week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I love the energy [of punk], especially the young bands on stage at Gilman,” he says. “I saw a lot of old rock bands where people stand on stage and don’t move around; the music might be really good but that’s it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13830460\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13830460\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/photo_2-800x578.jpg\" alt=\"Steve Koepke at a show at 924 Gilman sometime in the '90s.\" width=\"800\" height=\"578\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/photo_2.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/photo_2-160x116.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/photo_2-768x555.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/photo_2-240x173.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/photo_2-375x271.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/photo_2-520x376.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Steve Koepke at a show at 924 Gilman sometime in the ’90s. \u003ccite>(Rick and Susan Seger)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Koepke was friends with Robert Eggplant, a musician and writer who published the punk fanzine Absolutely Zippo! Koepke wanted to get more involved in punk and, though he found zine culture appealing, he set his sights toward technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I noticed there wasn’t a good show listing around, so I tried to get as much info as I could,” he says. “I used to leave little notes at Gilman and shows, and said, ‘If you want to get a listing of shows, send me an email.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, Koepke was working in computer systems administration and used his Unix skills to develop an script that would populate a mass show listing email. In June 1990, at the dawn of the internet, The List was born and emailed out to the punk world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These days, The List boasts 1,900 subscribers and features shows as far as Sparks, Nevada to the east, Redding to the north, and Modesto to the south. Koepke personally curates and posts well over 50 show listings per week, from backroom gigs at 1-2-3-4 Go! Records to bigger concerts at the Chapel and DNA Lounge. \u003ca href=\"http://www.foopee.com/punk/the-list/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Foopee\u003c/a> and five additional websites that use information from The List attract around 8,000 monthly visitors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Koepke used to focus exclusively on punk shows, The List has “pretty much anything,” including the occasional hip-hop or electronic show, or a music-adjacent art event. Particularly in its early days, The List became an accessible catch-all for punk, hardcore and ska bands who performed at DIY spaces and warehouses in addition to better-known venues like Gilman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11336203\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11336203\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/02/GDGilmanMAIN-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Green Day at 924 Gilman in the early 1990s.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/02/GDGilmanMAIN.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/02/GDGilmanMAIN-400x225.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/02/GDGilmanMAIN-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Green Day at 924 Gilman in the early 1990s. \u003ccite>(Murray Bowles)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“It was important to get the word out back in the day when Green Day would play backyards and kitchens, or bands like Rancid and AFI would play small venues,” Koepke says. “I hope people went to see those shows because I got the information out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The List spread through word of mouth, handled down from counterculture generation to counterculture generation. Koepke did no advertising beyond printing The List and distributing it to local venues, record stores and book shops. Since then, he’s received a continuous stream of interest from bookers, promoters, venue owners, publicists and bands who want their performances featured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twenty-eight years later, Koepke receives about 100 emails a day and spends between 6 and 12 hours a week curating the Bay’s many concerts for his subscribers. The List remains crucial for lesser-known local and touring bands that might otherwise get lost in the glut of events on Facebook or Do The Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>DIY at the Dawn of the World Wide Web\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The List arrived in the years leading up to the birth of the World Wide Web, and Graham Spencer’s Foopee took things to the next level in 1994.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spencer moved to the Bay Area to study computer science at Stanford about 30 years ago and fell into the Bay’s punk and hardcore community. “At the time, the Bay Area was an epicenter for that—there was Gilman Street, all the East Bay bands,” he says. Spencer met Koepke at a Gilman show, knew about The List, and wanted to improve upon it with a webpage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With Koepke’s blessing, Spencer created Foopee.com, a stripped-down site that features a week-by-week, day-by-day listing of concerts. On Foopee, shows are further searchable by venue and band, and each listing notes whether the show is all ages, whether one should expect a mosh pit or whether it’s likely to sell out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13830462\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 600px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13830462\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/Foopee-Comic.gif\" alt=\"“Foopee” cartoon by Eric Plumber’s Butt.

He points to the large amount of venues that have opened in the East Bay in the past few years, and sees some benefit to the tech sector.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Right now there’s so many different venues that have shows,” Koepke says. “I think a lot of it has to do with the tech bubble because there’s a lot more young people with money looking for things to do.

Billie Joe Armstrong often takes time to greet Koepke at Green Day’s shows, as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Getting nods from such punk royalty is no big deal to Koepke, who helped put these bands on the map as the creator of seminal concert calendar \u003ca href=\"http://www.calweb.net/~skoepke/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The List\u003c/a>, the flyer and email newsletter he started in 1990.

Today, he’s still going strong with nearly 2,000 subscribers — despite the advent of services like Facebook events and Eventbrite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet although he’s held the keys to hardcore heaven for nearly thirty years, The List’s creator remains a face in the crowd.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Digitizing Zine Culture\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Koepke, a Richmond resident and Bay Area native, got into the punk scene around 1989 — when he was well over 30 — after a friend turned him onto Primus and Suicidal Tendencies. At that point, 924 Gilman had been open for only a few years and Koepke frequented it two or three times a week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Koepke wanted to get more involved in punk and, though he found zine culture appealing, he set his sights toward technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I noticed there wasn’t a good show listing around, so I tried to get as much info as I could,” he says. “I used to leave little notes at Gilman and shows, and said, ‘If you want to get a listing of shows, send me an email.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, Koepke was working in computer systems administration and used his Unix skills to develop an script that would populate a mass show listing email. In June 1990, at the dawn of the internet, The List was born and emailed out to the punk world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These days, The List boasts 1,900 subscribers and features shows as far as Sparks, Nevada to the east, Redding to the north, and Modesto to the south. Koepke personally curates and posts well over 50 show listings per week, from backroom gigs at 1-2-3-4 Go! Records to bigger concerts at the Chapel and DNA Lounge. \u003ca href=\"http://www.foopee.com/punk/the-list/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Foopee\u003c/a> and five additional websites that use information from The List attract around 8,000 monthly visitors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Koepke used to focus exclusively on punk shows, The List has “pretty much anything,” including the occasional hip-hop or electronic show, or a music-adjacent art event. Particularly in its early days, The List became an accessible catch-all for punk, hardcore and ska bands who performed at DIY spaces and warehouses in addition to better-known venues like Gilman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11336203\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11336203\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/02/GDGilmanMAIN-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Green Day at 924 Gilman in the early 1990s.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/02/GDGilmanMAIN.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/02/GDGilmanMAIN-400x225.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/02/GDGilmanMAIN-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Green Day at 924 Gilman in the early 1990s. \u003ccite>(Murray Bowles)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“It was important to get the word out back in the day when Green Day would play backyards and kitchens, or bands like Rancid and AFI would play small venues,” Koepke says. “I hope people went to see those shows because I got the information out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The List spread through word of mouth, handled down from counterculture generation to counterculture generation. Koepke did no advertising beyond printing The List and distributing it to local venues, record stores and book shops. Since then, he’s received a continuous stream of interest from bookers, promoters, venue owners, publicists and bands who want their performances featured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twenty-eight years later, Koepke receives about 100 emails a day and spends between 6 and 12 hours a week curating the Bay’s many concerts for his subscribers. The List remains crucial for lesser-known local and touring bands that might otherwise get lost in the glut of events on Facebook or Do The Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>DIY at the Dawn of the World Wide Web\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The List arrived in the years leading up to the birth of the World Wide Web, and Graham Spencer’s Foopee took things to the next level in 1994.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spencer moved to the Bay Area to study computer science at Stanford about 30 years ago and fell into the Bay’s punk and hardcore community. “At the time, the Bay Area was an epicenter for that—there was Gilman Street, all the East Bay bands,” he says. Spencer met Koepke at a Gilman show, knew about The List, and wanted to improve upon it with a webpage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With Koepke’s blessing, Spencer created Foopee.com, a stripped-down site that features a week-by-week, day-by-day listing of concerts. On Foopee, shows are further searchable by venue and band, and each listing notes whether the show is all ages, whether one should expect a mosh pit or whether it’s likely to sell out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13830462\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 600px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13830462\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/04/Foopee-Comic.gif\" alt=\"“Foopee” cartoon by Eric Plumber’s Butt.

Yet Koepke remains hopeful for the underdogs. He points to the large amount of venues that have opened in the East Bay in the past few years, and sees some benefit to the tech sector.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Right now there’s so many different venues that have shows,” Koepke says. “I think a lot of it has to do with the tech bubble because there’s a lot more young people with money looking for things to do.

Venues like Gilman are still crucial to the scene, but the groups who initially populated The List have blown up, faded away or left for other cities. Like many other regional cultural staples, punk has been pushed further into the fringes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t know how punk’s gonna survive sometimes, because it gets so expensive that young bands might not be able to live here or practice,” Koepke says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bay may no longer be the alternative epicenter it once was.
