We are unbelievably psyched to team up with San Franciso’s Noise Pop Festival to present one of my favorite groups of all time, the legendary Far, this Thursday, February 25, at San Francisco’s own Bottom of the Hill. If your only exposure to Far is their ridiculous cover of Ginuine’s Pony, go get 1998′s Water & Solutions immediately, then buy tickets here. This is not part of a tour — they only have one date scheduled — and if you caught them the last time they rolled through San Francisco, you know this show is not to be missed. If we’re lucky, we might even get to here some new material.
Opening for Far will be some of the Bay’s finest in progressive rock; Stomacher, Trophy Fire, and Picture Atlantic. Stay tuned this week for more on these fantastic bands…
Far’s new album At Night We Live will be out May 18, on Vagrant.
