Beware of New Monthly in SF

There’s nothing better than a sweaty dance party…but sometimes it’s gotta be about the nerds. Fritemare is a new party dedicated to the weird, abstract, or maybe just plain intelligent tunes that you’re too afraid to play out at your club gig. This is Epcot’s brainchild, and of course he had to keep it consistent with the 80’s throwback horror imagery. This is another new monthly music installment at the recently renovated Showdown bar on 6th and Market, but this time creative programming handled by our very own resident zombie. If you’ve caught Epcot’s DJ sets as of late, and found yourself scratching your head on how good of a DJ this guy is (isn’t he supposed to be a rapper?) don’t feel bad…he’s been doing it for years and has all the local producers newest heat that hasn’t hit the street yet.

For the first episode we have a guest appearance by Mike Boo, definitely one of SF’s unsung heroes and a wizard of many devices, who loves to keep his turntable compositions on the left side of things. If you aren’t familiar, Boo has released music on Alpha Pup and toured the world with Gunkhole, (D-Styles and Ricci Rucker), amongst helping to design futuristic electronic devices and a load of other incredible accolades. And of course we couldn’t do this without DJ Dials, who despite having a fond love of keeping ladies content on the dancefloor, has a sweet spot for the abstract electronic tracks, beat tape outtakes and all the nerdy jams that we all hold close to our hearts.

Epcot, Mike Boo and Dials…kicking off what will hopefully be a fruitful and long-standing monthly party to satisfy the cravings of all the die hard heads in the city. This will be at Showdown, this week and every first Thursday.
