details: Event Info

Black Fiction's music, like the Mission District 'hood that the band calls home, welcomes diversity. Casting its nets far and wide, the group hauls in a variety of musical components — a reggae bridge, a smattering of mariachi horns, a Pavement-esque guitar solo — and wraps it all in a package of easy-going pop. Like Beck, Black Fiction don't come off as indie-popster-gone-slumming; their songwriting and aura of good cheer are just too catchy. Persuasive percussionists Tussle open this party celebrating Black Fiction's new album, Ghost Ride.
