The talent oozing from the South Bay Area music scene right now in undeniably amazing. This Wednesday’s show at the Bottom of the Hill is proof of that. ‘s mix of bombastic goofball gypsy rock alone is enough to convince anyone to attend this show. But if that’s not enough, maybe the spacey or the Charles Mingus inspired jazz outfit will convince you to get off your ass and make your way to the Bottom of the Hill this week. If not, well, your loss. I for one will be seeing the reunited Far again all the way in Sacramento this Thursday. I’m sure it will be as intense as the LA show I went to last year.
