B and Not B

Rock & Roll BBQ on the El Rio Patio

B and Not B — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 06:27:40 +0000

This Saturday, July 31, 2010, B and Not B will be kicking off a rock & roll BBQ at El Rio. We play first, while the sun is still shining — 3PM!

Hungry for rock and roll?
Along with free burgers and veggie burgers (plus some sides), there will be FIVE awesome bands on hand to satisfy your appetite. Enjoy being rocked al fresco.

New songs from the next record
After this show, we’ll be taking a couple of months off to finish our new record. Our latest songs rock a little harder, last a little longer, and have a slightly more complex flavor, but the sugar remains.

Farewell, Jamie
Jamie Osborne is hard to pin down. He left us for a year to live and work in India, and now he’s off to Boston for grad school. We’ll miss him and his processed keyboard hijinks. Catch him this one last time before he’s gone.

Have you downloaded our first record yet?

Record Release Party:Thursday, March 11 @ Café du Nord

B and Not B — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 08:02:10 +0000

Who needs a reason to celebrate?
Well, we’ve got one if you need one. Our first record is finally available, and we’ve worked hard on it. Come celebrate with us! There will be great people to hang with and some special treats. And you can leave with our CD in your hands. (We’ve got some pretty nice t-shirts, too.)

New tunes to debut
Even as we celebrate this record release, we’re already working on recording some more songs. Look for us to debut 3 or 4 of them at the show. Dusty sings some lead. And Jamie Osborne is back on keys!

Get tickets now! The last show we played at Café du Nord sold out.

The Thingers kick it off at 9pm sharp. B and Not B takes the stage at 10pm. Mist and Mast will go on around 11pm. See you there!

And get the album now!

Rocking the Mission from the Back of a Rental Van

B and Not B — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 10:29:09 +0000

It was a warm, sunny autumn day in San Francisco, and we decided to spend it driving around town in the back of a van full of hot amps. The things we do for rock! Brad Robertson put together this awesome video from footage shot of us playing all around the Mission.

Read responses in Mission Mission, SFist, Stranger Dance, The Bay Bridged, and Deli Magazine.

Live at the Econolodge in Ashland, OR

B and Not B — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 16:25:43 +0000

Dusty sang some middle-of-the-night cover songs at the Econolodge in Ashland, OR. The music swung from Madonna to Zeppelin to VU. The players were sleepy. The neighbors were (hopefully) blissfully ignorant of the concert they were missing.

Live at the Chevron-Sunoco in Redding, CA

B and Not B — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 16:07:41 +0000

We’ve escaped the Bay Area, and we’re swimming our way up I-5 toward Eugene. We stopped for some gas in Redding, CA, and played a couple of songs for Nathik at the Chevron-Sunoco. Nice meeting you, Nathik!

2009 Northwest Mini-Tour

B and Not B — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 23:14:38 +0000

We’re heading up north to Cascadia on our first mini-tour. If you live in OR or WA, you should come see us perform. We put on quite a show. If you live a little too far away to come to these shows (i.e. CA, NY, etc.), we need you all to tell your friends in the Pacific Northwest to come see us play! You’ll get to seem like the cool kid who knows about the band before anyone else.

Here are the details for the tour:

Oct 14: Luckey’s in Eugene, OR

Oct 15: The East End in Portland, OR

Oct 17: Common Ground in Burlington, WA (All Ages)

Oct 18: The Comet Tavern in Seattle, WA (EARLY SHOW – 5pm!)

We’ll have stories to tell when all is done, to be sure. You (or your friends) can RSVP on Facebook.
