Catch a wave at Pagan Idol. 🌊 Frankie & The Pool Boys bring their surf combo sound to 375 Bush St this Thursday, April 16th — live from 8:30 to 10:30PM. From Livorno to Tokyo to your favorite tiki bar, these guys have played it all and they always bring the good times with them. No cover. Come ride it out.
Close your eyes and you can almost smell it — board wax and brine, the hum of a Fender cranked through a reverb tank, something strange and electric underneath. That's Surf Monster: a San Francisco three-piece with a debut album produced by Bay Area jazz-funk legend Jerry Stucker, packed with original compositions that smuggle in saxophone, Theremin, and siren vocals between the waves. Steve Walton, Desmonde Mulcahy, and Michael Molenda bring the full cowabunga experience to 375 Bush Street on April 9th. Surf classics, originals, and covers. No cover charge. Full submersion.
Miami Magic is coming to Pagan Idol!
DJ Samoa Boy takes over the decks April 2 — spinning 70s & 80s 45rpm vinyl where yacht rock meets disco gold. Think sun-soaked grooves, tiki drinks built for the occasion, and a room that doesn't know what time zone it's in. @atownagency
Oh, and we're serving Miami Vice cocktails all night. Don Johnson would approve.
Already out for Downtown First Thursdays? Perfect. We're your last stop of the night — and the best one.
📍 375 Bush St, Downtown SF 🗓 April 2 · 8:30 PM–12:30 AM 🎟 FREE | 21+
'60s Surf Classics, Original Surf Tunes, Surfed-Up '70s & '80s Hits - A Full Cowabunga Experience
Surf band, party band. There's five of them, they all play in other bands that you might have heard of (Pollo Del Mar, The Deadbeats, The TomorrowMen,Meshugga Beach Party) if you are familiar with the tiny cult that is instro-mental surf music. They sure know about you– you dance to the surf beat, you dig tunes without all those dumb lyrics and you're always prepared to have a good time.
So, who are “Frankie & the Pool Boys” really? Just a bunch of teenage idiots without a care in the world. They have fake I.D.s, day jobs cleaning your pool, and a night shift parking cars, fake I.D.s. They’ve got a ‘72 Mustang (w/ 8-Track!) that will be rolling any day now, a date with your daughter next Friday and big, big plans for the future.

Hailing form North Beach in San Francisco, the Nova Jazz Quartet plays original and classic Bossa Nova and Latin Jazz.

Wed Jan 16: Deep Basement Shakers (New Orleans/Jazz) 8-11pm
Emerging into the light of day from their respective East Bay basements, the Deep Basement Shakers have stumbled upon an ancient alchemical formula involving a beat-up piano, discarded soup cans from impulsively consumed emergency earthquake kits, and the sweetest sounding wooden napkin holder you'll ever hear. Specializing in primal, joint-rockin' barrelhouse blues n' boogie, the Shakers bring to life old-school, good-time, steady-rollin' grooves from the deep musical traditions of places like St. Louis, Texas, Chicago and New Orleans. But this ain't no history museum where you can't touch the glass; The party's on now - let's get down!

The B-Stars are a San Francisco-based combo that gets the dance floors jumpin’ with an irresistible toe-tappin’ western boogie beat, straddling the line between rockabilly, jazz and country western music, the feel-good music of an era that filled America’s dance halls. With nods to the country & western stars of the late 1940s and 1950s, this sharp-suited band will be singin’ and swingin’ ‘til the break of dawn.
Wed Jan 9: Nick Rossi Trio with Vibraphone (West Coast/Cool Jazz)
