[IMG: Finger On The Pulse] It's no secret that I love live music. That's why I used to produce a television show on the bay area's music scene. In trying to promote the indie music scene, I'm publishing a short list of shows that I'm excited about seeing with links to the artists so you can check them out for yourself. I hope to see you at some of them! (Also, here are some links to cool music resources on the web if you are interested.)

Also, there are a ton of great web resources for show listings. Here are a few: Playing In Fog Calendar, Bagel Radio's Recommendations, ZumOnline, Mesh Music Calendar, Transbay Creative Music Calendar, SonicLiving, tourb.us, The List, The List Highlights.

Please let me know (email to sarahatfingeronthepulsedotorg) if you observe any errors in these listings or if you have a link for an artist/venue that I do not have a link for. Note that sometimes things change after I list a show, so always double check with the venue or artist's website that the info is correct:

NOTE: As of August 2007, I've moved to London. I'm no longer keeping track of SF Bay Area shows here. I am, however, tracking London shows at this link.
