About Great American Music Hall (GAMH)

San Francisco's oldest and grandest nightclub, the Great American Music Hall carries guests back to an earlier, more elegant era, with its ornate balconies, soaring marble columns and elaborate ceiling frescoes. Long-time customers and newcomers alike feel at home in the 5,000-square-foot concert hall that symbolized renewal and optimism when it opened in 1907. Today, a professional sound and lighting system, two full bars, a modern kitchen and a spacious oak dance floor help to blend contemporary quality with turn-of-the-century graciousness.

The Audacity of Hype
By Matt Crawford (10/22/2009)

" Alternative Tentacles, the Bay Area record label that helped launch influential punk band the Dead Kennedys, celebrates its 30th anniversary starting November 5th with Incest-a-Thon, a three-night stand at the Great American Music Hall. The shows will feature label owner and former Dead Kennedys frontman Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine, along with several of the label’s acts from over the years. After primarily focusing on his spoken word career for many years, Biafra released The Audacity of Hype with his new band in October. He spoke with SF Station during a phone interview. "

More Than a Handful
By Matt Crawford (09/04/2009)

" The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, the latest band to rise in short order from obscurity in Brooklyn to darlings of the internet, have the sincere, fuzzy indie-pop thing down. The band returns to San Francisco less than two months after its last gig here for a show September 18th at Great American Music Hall. Kip Berman (vocals/guitar) spoke with SF Station during a phone interview from New York about the band’s quick jump in popularity after the February release of its self-titled LP, his love of Girls (the San Francisco band) and Jay Reatard’s recent Twitter tirade.

On August 5th they will be stopping on their Bright Side Tour at the Great American Music Hall promoting the upcoming release of their second album Bright Side of Life. SF Station spoke with Eric as he kicked back in Santa Barbara before starting their national tour. "
