If there are any besides me, they're either lurkers or exclusive BOC fans.
Given that the Bay Area has one of the highest concentrations of Hawkfans
in the country (up there with Cleveland, I tend to think), I'm a bit
surprised ...

Definitely looks that way to me.  I've seen a couple of those names around
town, but this isn't really a scene that I'm familiar with, closed-minded
rockist that I am.

If there are any Bay Area folks on the list looking for a good show of
mind-altering music during the month of October, Sonic Boom (of Spacemen 3,
Spectrum, E.A.R.) is playing at the Bottom of the Hill on wednesday the
21st.  Opening will be the Primordial Undermind, with a completely new
lineup (except for frontal lobe Eric Arn) featuring that annoying space
rock violinist who guested with ST37 at Strange Daze this year. ;^)

If anyone on the east coast catches a Sonic Boom show before he gets out
here, I'd love to see a review posted here ...
