Pop punk teen sensation Paramore announces a fall tour with Metric and Hellogoodbye at the newly christened SAP Center in San Jose. The tour will be in support of their self-titled album released in April.

Paramore has released singles and albums with impressive reception—their previous album, 2009’s Brand New Eyes, premiered at Number 2 on the Billboard charts. This time, their self-titled album—the band’s fourth—debuted at Number 1 on Billboard 200. Though this new effort includes a few stylistic twists, their angsty spirit still remains strong. The tour will be a crazy power-pop filled drive, as they are joined by new-wave band Metric and indie-pop band Hellogoodbye.

“The Self-Titled Tour” kicks off on October 15th in Seattle, then stops in San Jose on October 18th.

Tickets go on sale on Friday, July 26th at 10am.

The quirky, lovable duo, David Byrne & St. Vincent, announced two stops in the Bay Area on their Love This Giant tour, including a show at the Mountain Winery on July 20.

Last September, St. Vincent, also known as Annie Clark, and the Talking Heads front man released their debut album together, Love This Giant, earning universal acclaim from critics and fans alike.

The tour stops in more than 25 cities throughout North American over two months, including a visit to Bonarroo. The tour ends just one night after the Mountain Winery performance at Oakland’s Fox Theater on July 21st.

Pre-sale tickets for the Fox Theater show go on sale on Feb. 28. The Mountain Winery opens ticket sales online on April 22l

In just a couple weeks, Corpus Callosum embarks on their first national tour, which was only recently made possible by the generous donations and support of their friends and family here in the Bay Area.

The tour will stop everywhere from clubs and theaters to basement parties and backyards. They return to San Jose for a homecoming show at Anno Domino on August 14:

After a decade together, local indie-folk-band-meets-theater-art-troupe, Corpus Callosum, decided they wanted to take their show on the road. Between all the instruments, props and band members, touring would be no small affair. So they made a kickstarter with a minimum of $5,500 to help buy a bus. In the end they raised $7,443 and were able to buy a vehicle with as much character to it as they have.

“The bus is an old North Carolina school district vehicle that a couple of park rangers converted into an RV and drove out to California with their kids,” says singer Dax Tran-Caffee. “We bought it off of them down in Pinnacles National Monument. Two days later we brought it to SubZERO as a bit of a test run.”

It was perfect timing too since Corpus Callosum are known for always bringing unexpected performances to SubZERO. This time around they put on an intimate show inside the bus. A handful of people, as many as 12 at a time, crammed inside the bus and watch a few songs, then a new batch would rotate out. Corpus Callosum don’t have plans to play inside the bus on tour, but there are other ways to use their vehicle for live shows in the future. “It wouldn’t be out of the question to have a functional stage on the roof by this time next year,” Tran-Caffee says.

The tour dates are still being finalized, but they are for sure starting in Austin on July 12th and concluding at the Hotel Utah in San Francisco on August 16th. Thoughts of their first tour are exciting and scary.

“Heading out on tour is really nerve racking. We’re doing everything we can to prepare, but we’re also stepping out into the unknown. We won’t know if anyone will actually show up to the shows until we hit each stage, so we don’t really know if we’ll be making as much money in each town to keep going as planned. We don’t yet know where we’re sleeping each night, or if we can actually handle being in each other’s company for those 14-hour drives, although having such a spacious bus is quite a blessing in that regard,” says Tran-Caffee.
