Weekly Ticket Giveaways

Every week we give away free tickets to shows in the Bay Area.  Look for Win Tickets text or button next to our concert listings.  Visit our Win Tickets Page for details on how to enter to win and to see the complete list of events with ticket giveaways.  You would be surprised at how many shows go without winners just because people think that they would never win. Why not try and see what happens!?


BEST of BISS and Featured Shows

You’ll want to pay special attention to our Best of BISS and Featured Shows which are carefully selected by our staff with impeccable music taste. These staff curated shows you will not want to miss.


Concert and Event Listings for Music You Care About

The BISS LIST selects only the best live music and events in the San Francisco Bay Area, personally recommended by our independent crew of die hard local must fans. We are the BEST resource in the Bay Area for the best in FUNK and JAM (and a little of everything else)!


Community Driven Event Submissions

BISS list is not an objective news source, but we do discriminate equally. If you would like us to post an event, please submit your event on our Event Submission Page at least two weeks prior to the event. If we approve of your event, we will do our best to list them correctly, but please be patient as we are a small operation and highly imperfect.

Indie darling and songwriting wunderkind, Kate Vargas teams up with guitar virtuoso, Eric McFadden, to present their highly anticipated new supergroup, Sgt. Splendor. This show is the album release party for Death of the Hoochie Koo and the launch of Buena Vista West Records. In Death of The Hoochie Koo, Sgt. Splendor invites listeners on a journey of social commentary and playful imagination in alt-funk, dirty blues. Many of the tracks on the album find the group organically entering a new era where they embrace politically leaning topics with courage and compassion. This sophomore release pushes outside of comfort zones striking the perfect balance between imaginative merrymaking and change-evoking calls to action.
