BUTCH WALKER & THE LETS GO OUT TONITES
Charlotte Sometimes, Hymns
Friday, September 7
$15 - Doors 8, Show 9

On his new record the singer/songwriter/ guitarist/producer put together a band, The Lets Go Out Tonites, and took a cue from Ziggy Stardust-eraBowie to record an album steeped in glitter. “My last record was the guy in the corner of the bar, crying in his beer because his girlfriend dumped him the night before,” says Walker. “This record is the guy who walks in the bar, lights the girl's cigarette, then gets drunk and dances on top of the bar 'til 6 am.”

JONATHAN COULTON /
PAUL AND STORM
Friday, September 14
$18 adv/$20 door - Doors 8, Show 9 - Seated Show!

Jonathan Coulton sings well crafted geek folk-pop. Hilarious but heartbreaking songs about mad scientists, robot armies and self-loathing giant squids. A Lennon/McCartney-style comedy songwriting team, Paul Sabourin and Greg "Storm" DiCostanzo have been writing and performing original music together for more than a decade.

ERIC JOHNSON
with Tommy Taylor and Roscoe Beck
Tucker Roundtree
Sunday, September 16
$20 - Doors 7:30, Show 8

Very few musical artists achieve a true signature style — one which makes comparisons to other musicians impossible. But Texas guitarist Eric Johnson arguably comes as close to this echelon as any musician from the past quarter-century.

THIS WEEK AT SLIM'S:

Tonight!
95.7 The Wolf Presents
BILLY BOB THORNTON
Boxmasters
Wednesday, September 5
$25 - Doors 7:30, Show 8

For Billy Bob Thornton, writing, recording and playing live music is something he has done his entire life. With two RIAA Gold record certifications, having performed on the Grammmy winning album "The Wind" by Warren Zevon, headlining at SXSW 2003, a featured presenter on the 2005 Grammy Awards, performing vocals on the Tim McGraw tribute "Where The Bluegrass Grows" and the newly released "Anchored In Love: A Tribute To June Carter Cash," (featuring Sheryl Crow, Willie Nelson, Elvis Costello and others), Billy Bob Thornton traces his music career back to learning drums at the tender age of nine years old.

Spoken Word
SAGE FRANCIS
Bernard Dolan
Thursday, September 6
$15 - Doors 8, Show 9

You might know him simply as a battle emcee or a spoken word poet. Heart-draining confessionalist or Old School revivalist. Political dissident, DIY business expert, friend, or one-time ice cream server. Hell, you might even know him as hip hop's doom. Or the art form's redemption, for that matter. Sage Francis is many things to many people - and probably even more to himself - but if there's anything he isn't, it's quiet.

ZOO STATION: THE COMPLETE U2 EXPERIENCE
Little Bitches: Tribute To Weezer,
RockSteady: Tribute To No Doubt
Friday, September 7
$15 - Doors 8, Show 9

From the mountains of Red Rocks to the fields of Slane Castle, U2 has been building musical monuments for decades. At the heart of the U2 phenomena is the power and energy of their live performances. This same passion can now be found in the live shows of the Bay Area's own Zoo Station, the complete U2 Experience!

CARTEL
The Honorary Title, Weatherbox
Saturday and Sunday, September 8 & 9
$18 - Doors 6, Show 7

Their highly anticipated sophomore album, self-titled "Cartel," is an exhilarating blend of sumptuous pop hooks and raw rock thrills with a depth and emotional range that broadens with each listen and was just released August 21.
More Info & Tickets


THE SLACKERS
The Phenomenauts, Deals Gone Bad, DJ Diesel
Friday, September 14
$13 adv/$15 door - Doors 8, Show 9

While they have been influenced, and even personally taught by Jamaican originators, like the Skatalites and the Upsetters (original backing band for the Wailers), the band sees its music through an American lens. This band is equally appreciative of old blues, 60's soul, rock, and R & B as it is of reggae, rocksteady, dub and ska. It is as if the Rolling Stones or the Yardbirds had grown up on Bob Marley as well as Muddy Waters.
