Reservations are available HERE. \nFor information on our current COVID policy\, please click here. \nOs Mutantes (“The Mutants”) are an influential Brazilian psychedelic rock band that were linked with the Tropicália movement of the late 1960s. When Os Mutantes was formed\, it combined influences from psychedelic acts from the English-speaking world like The Beatles\, Jimi Hendrix\, and Sly & the Family Stone with bossa nova\, tropicália\, samba and the cultural legacy of the Brazilian art vanguards from the modernist movement. \nOne of the most well-known and influential rock bands in Brazil\, Os Mutantes are cited as a major influence to many contemporary underground or independent bands in the United States and Europe. Beck paid tribute to the group with his single “Tropicália” from the album Mutations. The Bees (UK band) covered “A Minha Menina” on their first album\, Sunshine Hit Me. Red Hot Chili Peppers bass player Flea has stated on his Twitter account that he is a fan. Kevin Barnes of Of Montreal cites Os Mutantes as an important influence. Talking Heads frontman David Byrne has worked to publish and promote the group’s music through his Luaka Bop label. Kurt Cobain publicly requested a reunion tour from the trio in 1993\, writing a letter to Arnaldo Baptista\, but the bands first live performance since 1978 was at London’s Barbican Arts Centre on May 22\, 2006 – (though without Rita Lee\, who was replaced with Zélia Duncan on vocals). This performance was followed by shows in New York City\, Los Angeles (with the Flaming Lips)\, San Francisco\, Seattle\, Denver\, Chicago\, and Miami. However in September 2007\, both Arnaldo Baptista and Zélia Duncan left the band\, each expressing wishes to continue with their respective solo projects. \nSérgio Dias\, however\, vowed to keep the reformed band alive\, not wanting to let “the giant sleep again”\, as he put it. And so\, led by Dias with Esmeria Bulgari on vocals\, Henrique Peters on keyboards\, Vinicius Junqueira on bass and Claudio Tchernev on drums the band toured extensively enjoying some great highlights such as “A Minha Menina” featuring as the audio track for the McDonald’s commercial “Victory” in June 2008\, their first new release in 35 years\, “Haih Or Amortecedor” (ANTI- Records) in September 2009. Extensive tours in support of the album including Glastonbury Festival in June 2010. In 2011\, they collaborated with Of Montreal on the song “Bat Macumba” for the Red Hot Organization’s most recent charitable album “Red Hot+Rio 2.” and in 2013 the release of their album “Fool Metal Jack.” In 2017\, Sergio Dias collaborated with the English singer-songwriter\, Carly Bryant and subsequently she was put into the band’s line up on vocals\, guitars and keyboards. Tres Olhos Music Festival quoted after her debut performance “”Packed with the new vocals\, Carly Bryant took the audience to ecstasy\, showing she’s here to stay.” URL:https://missionlocal.org/event/the-chapel-os-mutantes-roge/ LOCATION:The Chapel\, 777 Valencia St.\, San Francisco\, CA\, 94110\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://newspack-missionlocal.s3.amazonaws.com/mission/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJwcm9kLXNpaC5zZWV0aWNrZXRzdXNhLnVzIiwia2V5IjoiMTJlNGFkMjItNzhhNy00MmYxLWJkY2MtMjYwYzVkZTBhOGIzIiwiZWRpdHMiOnt9fQ-e1685009622647.jpg GEO:37.760565;-122.421188 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=The Chapel 777 Valencia St. San Francisco CA 94110 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=777 Valencia St.:geo:-122.421188,37.760565 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230527T210000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230527T235900 DTSTAMP:20260424T025826 CREATED:20230519T195251Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230519T195251Z UID:10017801-1685221200-1685231940@missionlocal.org SUMMARY:Public Works: Omnom & Baby Weight presented by PW & Tall Door DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, May 27th\, 9pm – 3am \nMain Room / 21+ / Limited Capacity \nLINEUP: \n➩ Omnom \n➩ Baby Weight \n+ \n➩ Kenny Cordeiro \n➩ Goldbear \n➩ Vonndee \n➩ Genetixx \n━━━━━━━━━▲━━━━━━━━━ \nOMNOM BIO: \nOMNOM is a DJ/Producer from Los Angeles\, CA. His delightfully unconventional brand of House\, which has been described by some as “a whirlpool of weird\,” features his unmistakably peculiar vocals floating over the infectious basslines that have earned him the support of some of House music’s heaviest-hitters including Walker & Royce\, FISHER\, Kyle Watson\, Claude Vonstroke\, and Justin Martin. Since bursting onto the scene in 2018\, OMNOM has gone on to release several original tracks and remixes with labels such as Dirtybird\, Confession\, Box of Cats\, and Insomniac. \nBABY WEIGHT BIO: \nBaby Weight\, aka Cara Eser\, is a DJ\, producer\, and label boss from Washington\, D.C. who has gained notoriety for her “chunky” style of dance music. Her genre bending sound\, dynamic DJ sets\, and advocacy for more inclusivity within dance music has earned her the respect and support of peers like Walker & Royce\, The Blessed Madonna\, Claude VonStroke\, Claptone\, Shiba San\, Justin Martin\, DJ Sliink\, LP Giobbi\, VNSSA\, Kevin Knapp\, Noizu\, and Idris Elba among others. \nIn 2017\, Eser started the label Chub Rub which she uses to showcase emerging sounds from under the radar artists across the house music spectrum. This has led to a cult following curated around quirkiness\, community\, and diversity. In 2019\, her debut album ‘Phases’ peaked in multiple Top 10 charts on Beatport which spawned an equally popular remix album the following year. \nIn 2020\, she publicly came out as transgender citing a need to address her transition as an artist as well as in her personal life. Later that year\, her track “Rave Police” reached #1 paving the way to a wider audience. In 2021\, Eser was featured in Mixmag’s ‘Impact’ series leading to debuts on BBC Radio 6\, Diplo’s Revolution on SiriusXM\, and appearances at multiple festivals including Dirtybird Campout\, EDC Vegas\, Hard Summer\, and Firefly Music Festival. \nIn 2022\, Baby Weight released “House Princess” featuring Karnage Kills on Femme House’s first ever compilation to both commercial and critical acclaim — including a feature in Calvin Klein’s Pride campaign for that year. With an undeniable energy and music steeped in emotional integrity\, Baby Weight is quickly becoming an industry darling in electronic music. \n━━━━━━━━━▲━━━━━━━━━ \nWhen you purchase tickets to this event you’ll automatically be signed up for LOCAL 161\, Public Works’ SMS community where you’ll get special invites + guestlist + other perks as a thank you for your support.

Now Mission Local is bringing its award winning team of journalists to Manny’s every month to delve into the big issues facing our neighbors and the city as a whole. \nThis month\, Managing Editor Joe Eskenazi is sitting down with Julia Arroyo\, the co-executive director of the Young Women’s Freedom Center\, and Lateefah Simon\, a longtime achiever in undoing the worst excesses of the criminal justice system — and\, presently\, a candidate for Congress. The subject of their discussion will be the life and death of Banko Brown and the city he called home. \nWhile the early April stabbing of tech executive Bob Lee grabbed international headlines and spurred ruminations on the condition of San Francisco\, the facts of the case as they now appear indicate it had little to do with the state of this city. Brown’s death\, however — a homeless Black trans man shot by a Black Walgreens security guard who had himself struggled with housing security — did indeed epitomize the dystopian state of San Francisco. In brief: Two marginalized Black men were pitted against one another\, with one killing the other\, in a conflict sparked by $14.64 worth of goods from a cynical\, billion-dollar corporation. \nArroyo knew Brown well and worked alongside him at the Young Women’s Freedom Center. Simon founded the forbearer of the Young Women’s Freedom Center when she was just 19\, and has spent decades fighting for better outcomes for society’s least fortunate. \nPlease join us for this important and necessary conversation. \nThis conversation will be open for all community members and we never turn away folks due to lack of funds. If you need a complimentary ticket or have any access needs/questions\, please email angelina@welcometomannys.com with the title of the event. \nABOUT OUR PANELISTS \nJulia Arroyo: \nJulia has over two decades of experience in community health\, rape crisis\, and work with sexually exploited youth.

Julia can also be credited with running the YWFC headquarters in San Francisco – enabling expansion to Santa Clara County\, Oakland\, and Los Angeles. \nShe is a second-generation immigrant of Mexican/ Filipino descent and identifies as Xicana. And this work and YWFC are personal to her\, having had involvement in foster care\, the underground street economy\, and incarceration.

Lateefah is also a member of California State University’s Board of Trustees and frequently turned to by state officials for strategic advice on policy matters related to racial justice. Lateefah received the MacArthur Foundation “Genius” Award in 2003—making her the youngest woman ever to receive the award. \nPreviously\, Lateefah served as Program Director at the Rosenberg Foundation—where she launched the Leading Edge Fund to seed\, incubate and accelerate bold ideas from the next generation of progressive movement leaders in California. She also held the position of Executive Director of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights of the San Francisco Bay Area.

This is not a cooking class. This seating is limited to 40 guests. Review our registration and cancellation policies here. Masks are welcome. \nFor May’s Community Dinner\, we are happy to welcome the return of Chef Violeta to 18th St. Kitchen. She is one of our longest serving Peer Health Educators in our Community Programs and is one of our most beloved teachers and chefs. She graduated from culinary school in El Salvador before emigrating to San Francisco\, where she raised her beautiful family and shared her love of delicious food. Join us for a very special evening with Violeta as she cooks a meal to honor her grandmother’s love. \nVioleta shares this story behind the recipe: \n The recipe for beef salpicón and its broth are very important to me\, since as a girl it was my favorite food and my grandmother prepared it for me to celebrate my birthday. At this time\, a food processor was not accessible\, therefore my grandmother prepared everything the day before since it was a lot of work and she did it like this: \n She cooked the beef loin with many spices and herbs to make a soup with it; she removed the meat and cooled it. \n She would cut very finely: the already cold meat\, onion\, mint and radishes (she said that ground beef is not the same)\, then she would add lemon juice\, salt\, pepper and serve it to me with white rice\, avocado\, handmade tortillas and cheese. \n With the broth\, she made a delicious soup just by adding potatoes and noodles.\n Everything was done with great love to celebrate my birthday and I waited very excited for that day because she let me eat everything I wanted. \n This is one of the many recipes that she taught me to cook but this one is full of love and nostalgia because she reminds me of how important and special she made me feel by cooking with love for me. \nNote: this ticket page is for the first seating from 6-7 pm. We do not have reserved seating and dining will take place at communal tables.

Stones Throw is excited to introduce Pearl & The Oysters\, the duo of Juliette Pearl Davis and Joachim Polack. Their new song “Pacific Ave\,” written about their move from Florida to Los Angeles\, features Alex Brettin of Mild High Club on guitar. The “Pacific Ave” video directed by Sean McGuirk\, an ’80s-style live TV performance\, was inspired by Japanese Jazz Fusion artists like Casiopea and Yellow Magic Orchestra’s embrace of both analog and digital in their music and visuals. \nPearl & The Oysters met at high school in Paris and immediately bonded over their mutual love for ’70s jazz and ‘90s space age pop. They have been writing and performing together ever since\, and moved across the Atlantic together in 2015. \nPearl & The Oysters say: “‘In January 2020\, we settled in L.A. full of hope for the future of the band. ‘Pacific Ave’ was a cryptic attempt to allude to our first steps in this new environment being a little alienating\, as we were discovering a megalopolis turned ghost town. Because we were physically confined\, it really felt like the only avenue to escape was a mental one. For us\, it meant a lot of daydreaming and fantasizing about L.A. itself or what it could represent. The song is inspired sonically by AOR and jazz-pop records of the late 1970s.” URL:https://missionlocal.org/event/the-chapel-pearl-and-the-oysters-mae-powell-healing-potpourri/ LOCATION:The Chapel\, 777 Valencia St.\, San Francisco\, CA\, 94110\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://newspack-missionlocal.s3.amazonaws.com/mission/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJwcm9kLXNpaC5zZWV0aWNrZXRzdXNhLnVzIiwia2V5IjoiYjYyN2YwYjgtMjJjZS00NDgxLTgxOWItOWU2ODViYTViNDRlIiwiZWRpdHMiOnt9fQ-e1685010009741.jpg GEO:37.760565;-122.421188 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=The Chapel 777 Valencia St. San Francisco CA 94110 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=777 Valencia St.:geo:-122.421188,37.760565 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230601T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230601T200000 DTSTAMP:20260424T025826 CREATED:20230527T205846Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230527T205846Z UID:10018866-1685644200-1685649600@missionlocal.org SUMMARY:The Castro Theater: Manny's presents: An Evening with Jane Fonda DESCRIPTION:Jane Fonda is on a mission.

Each participant answered the same question: What does it mean to feel seen? Each painting and response is featured in the artist’s third book aptly titled “SEEN Volume 2\,” which is now available for preorder. The Tracy Piper will also be available for in-person signings during the event. \nCome dressed in your artsy best and meet fellow art lovers while taking pleasure in the artist’s works in the gallery’s lower level space [The Down Low]—in addition to the current group exhibition on the main level titled “Postcards from Paradise.” \nThe paintings will be on view through June 24th or until they’re purchased. Gallery hours are Wednesday-Saturday\, 12-6PM or by appointment. \n“What does it mean to feel seen? \nPainting people is an intimate act: finding each freckle\, how the eyelash curls\, the weathered lines\, a sharp or messy eyebrow… not one face is like another. And each answer to the question\, ‘What does it mean to feel seen?’ is as nuanced as those faces\, every one different and unique. Yet we all feel this question in our souls. Each of us circles this question at some point in our lives. This project is a window not just into each participant’s life\, but also into the whole of what it means to be alive today. \nI couldn’t stop at just one book\, at the wisdom of only 50 people. I couldn’t stop because I know what it means to not feel seen. Each person who signs on to this project is taking a huge leap into self-acceptance — by saying I am worthy of being in the light\, my words mean something\, my freckles are important\, my wrinkles are beautiful\, that I made it\, I am here\, now. To get to be a conduit for this kind of true transformation — by painting each person as they are — represents a window into my soul. It transforms me. How rare the opportunity to have these moments of connection\, forged by an honest gaze and a heartfelt word. I intend for this book and hopefully many more after to stand as a testament to this community. To the people who wanted to be seen\, with no strings attached\, and took the leap. Those late nights staring into each of your eyes will always be worth it. I SEE you… and I am so glad you are here.” \n—The Tracy Piper URL:https://missionlocal.org/event/voss-gallery-the-tracy-piper-seen-volume-2-pop-up-show-book-signing/ LOCATION:Voss Gallery\, 3344 24th St\, San Francisco\, CA\, 94110\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://newspack-missionlocal.s3.amazonaws.com/mission/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/https-__cdn.evbuc_.com_images_513215119_317227686703_1_original-e1684522209919.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230602T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230602T200000 DTSTAMP:20260424T025826 CREATED:20230527T203740Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230527T203740Z UID:10018863-1685728800-1685736000@missionlocal.org SUMMARY:Manny’s: June Art Show Opening: Juan Manuel Carmona DESCRIPTION:Join us on the first Friday of the month as we celebrate our new June artist\, Juan Manuel Carmona! We will have live music\, delicious drinks\, and amazing vibes in the front cafe space so don’t miss out! \nAbout Juan Manuel Carmona \nHaving been born in Texas along the Mexican border\, raised in Mexico\, and then spending the majority of my adult life in the USA\, my work is greatly informed by my binational Mexican/American heritage\, my queer identity\, and the intersection of the LGBTQI and Latino communities of San Francisco. I have explored these communities and concepts through varied and diverse artistic approaches\, creating murals\, posters\, sculptures\, and art installations that in some way satisfy my own personal curiosity\, respond to the immediate context\, honor the message\, and impact the spectator. As I continue to explore the power of public art\, I hope to use my work to inspire individuals with the pride and love that I feel for my two countries of heritage\, my LGBTQI community\, and to bring focus to the duality of millions of Mexican-Americans living and traveling between both sides of this border. \nFor more of his work\, visit: https://juanmanuelcarmona.com URL:https://missionlocal.org/event/mannys-june-art-show-opening-juan-manuel-carmona/ LOCATION:Manny’s\, 3092 16th St\, San Francisco\, CA\, 94103\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://newspack-missionlocal.s3.amazonaws.com/mission/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/https-__cdn.evbuc_.com_images_519859979_930611375653_1_original-e1685219805888.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230602T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230602T220000 DTSTAMP:20260424T025826 CREATED:20230509T151031Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230509T151614Z UID:10017746-1685736000-1685743200@missionlocal.org SUMMARY:ODC Theater: Kristin Damrow & Company (KDC): sound DESCRIPTION:sound is an experiential dance performance that delves into the physical effects of sound on our bodies and minds. \nJune 2 – 3\, 2023\nInstallations 7:30 pm\nPerformance 8:00 pm \nConcept + Direction: Kristin Damrow\nCollaborators: Erin Chih-Fang Yen\, Anna Greenberg Gold\, Olivia Caldeira Holston\, Macio Payomo\nComposer: Aaron M Gold \nKristin Damrow & Company (KDC) is a contemporary dance company that was established in 2013.

Obie Award winner Timothy Near directs this production\, reuniting with Broadway actor Victor Talmadge (David Mamet’s November\, The King & I\, The Lion King) and award-winning actor and producer Wendy vanden Heuvel (Signature Theatre\, Guthrie Theatre\, Magic Theater). The powerhouse trio\, who collaborated on a hit run of Fugard’s A Lesson from Aloes at Z Below in 2018\, will be joined by exciting regional actress Kodi Jackman for this production. \nSet in a small South African town\, The Road to Mecca introduces eccentric aging widow Miss Helen (based on artist Helen Martins)\, who fills her house and garden with sculptures and statues that face Mecca\, transforming her world into a magical paradise and testament to artistic freedom in the midst of repression and political turbulence. A struggle ensues as a young schoolteacher and social worker advocates for the struggling artist\, while her conservative pastor insists that Miss Helen is declining and should be moved. Known for his politically charged work opposing Apartheid\, internationally-acclaimed South African playwright\, director\, actor\, and novelist Athol Fugard was deemed “a rare playwright\, who could be a primary candidate for either the Nobel Prize in Literature or the Nobel Peace Prize” by The New Yorker. The Road to Mecca was initially presented Off-Broadway where it won a New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award and was adapted into a film starring Fugard alongside Yvonne Bryceland\, and Kathy Bates. Its Broadway premiere in 2011 was lauded as a “powerful” (The New York Times) work that “glows with a rare luminosity and intensity…eloquent and transforming” (The Christian Science Monitor). \nGet Tickets – https://ci.ovationtix.com/34231/production/1159145 \nShow Schedule\nPreviews: Sun 6/4 6pm\, Tues 6/6 7:30pm\, Wed 6/7 7:30pm\nOpening Night: Thurs 6/8 7:30pm\nRun of Show: 6/9 – 6/30\n Wed\, 7:30pm\n Thurs\, 7:30pm\n Fri\, 7:30pm\n Sat\, 7:30pm\n Sun\, 2pm \nThis show runs approximately two hours and 30 minutes and will have one intermission.\nCast \nVictor Talmadge\nWendy vanden Heuvel\nKodi Jackman\nCreative/Production Team \nDirector: Timothy Near\nScenic Designer: Erik Flatmo\nCostume Designer: Meg Neville\nLighting Designer: Kurt Landisman\nSound Designer: Jake Rodriguez\nDramaturg: Kellen Hoxworth\nProduction Stage Manager: Christina Hogan\nAssistant Stage Manager: Enkidu Khan\nProduction Manager: David Robertson\nExecutive Producer: Kendra Bator and Tom Casserly\nProducing Associates: Tess Capern\nArtwork: Caspar Newbolt\nPublicity and Marketing: Lauren Goldfarb\, Carla Befera & Co.

A century before Stonewall\, the rainbow flag\, or Harvey Milk\, queer-friendly entertainment venues were all over the Barbary Coast and provided some of the earliest prototypes of LGBTQ spaces and often showcasing revolutionary gender non-conformity. \nSee how people of color and women—often underrepresented in queer narratives—created a foundation for 1970s activists in the Castro and gave the “unspeakable vice” of the Victorians a voice. \nManny’s never turns away someone due to lack of funds. If you need a complimentary ticket\, please email the title of the event and the word “grapefruit” to angelina@welcometomannys.com. \nWant to support community members? By purchasing a “Pay It Forward” ticket you will allow us to provide free tickets to those who may not be able to afford entry otherwise and ensure we can create a diverse socio-economic audience that represents San Francisco. \nABOUT OUR GUEST \nShawn Sprockett is the creator and host of Unspeakable Vice\, a walking tour he developed after studying his neighborhood’s queer history. This historical tour of San Francisco’s lost queer nightlife scene examines the origins of queer identity and wonders how it might evolve next. \nShawn is also an adjunct professor at the California College of Arts in the graduate Interaction Design program\, where he teaches visual design in the Fall and his own class\, Futureproof\, on creative thinking and speculative design\, in the Spring. His work has spanned a wide breadth of industries over the last sixteen years\, from Condé Nast to Google\, Apple\, and Airbnb. He has trained under legendary designers\, like Milton Glaser and Stefan Sagmeister. He’s also been a part of big business transformations like IBM’s implementation of design-thinking at scale and Facebook’s forays into the metaverse. \nOne interesting fact about Shawn: He has nearly a dozen design-centric tattoos that symbolize each city he’s lived in.
