Description
With BFD having just brought back Jane's Addiction for a dapper, artfully elegant headlining set in June, it's time to take a minute and remember the club that got them to the South Bay first, back when they were gritty, grubby upstarts singing about peeing in the shower. From 1985 to 1990, Santa Clara's One Step Beyond was a gateway drug to alt-culture for a generation of goths, punks, metalheads and other assorted misfits. After the success of the One Step Beyond reunion last year, organizers are doing it again on at Club Illusions in Palo Alto (which has its own unique history as the Keystone, the Vortex and the Edge). Headlining this year will be SF electropoppers the Frail, with performances from several DJs, including Live 105's Aaron Axelsen. - Steve Palopoli sanjose.com
