Bay Area’s Brain Dead Symphony returns with triumphant new single

Published Sat, 16 Nov 2024 04:17:16 GMT

Brain Dead Symphony is back with another winner.It’s called “Just Let Me Be,” a glorious synthpop/electronica single that somehow manages to feel both retro and futuristic at the same time. It’s the type of alt-dance tune that should appeal equally to old-school post-punk/new wave fans as well as young ones, who have never even listened to New Order. (But, please, if you have never heard a New Order tune then correct that situation immediately.)Brain Dead Symphony is the nom de plume of Diego Cisternas, who originally hails from Barcelona, Spain but has lived in the Bay Area since the age of 12.Related ArticlesMusic | Review: ‘Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour’ among greatest concert films of all time Music | Review: Where was the ‘real Peter Gabriel’ during San Francisco concert?

Over the years Escoffery has delivered thrilling performances on Bay Area stages with the Mingus Big Band, which he co-directs, the quintet of trumpet great Tom Harrell, and the Black Art Jazz Collective, last seen in these parts at Yoshi’s in 2019.Most recently Israeli bassist Tal Cohen featured Escoffery at Black Cat last February, but when the saxophonist returns to the Tenderloin jazz club for a three-night run Oct. 19-21 the residency marks his Bay Area debut as a bandleader.“I’ve got a pretty full schedule with teaching and what not, but it’s funny that I haven’t traveled much out West,” said Escoffery in a recent phone conv...

Published Sat, 16 Nov 2024 04:17:16 GMT

A flight from the Canary Islands to London was canceled and its passengers made to disembark after someone onboard the aircraft defecated on the bathroom floor.The easyJet flight on Sunday evening — what was to be a four-hour trip from the island of Tenerife to London’s Gatwick airport — had already been delayed by several hours when the incident occurred.Aaran Gedhu, a passenger on board, told CNN Travel the scheduled plane had been switched out for a smaller one, causing some customers to be turned away at boarding. Those who made it on board, two hours after the scheduled departure, then had to wait on the ground for more than an hour while bags were offloaded due to the aircraft being overweight.As the delay extended, the atmosphere on the packed flight was characterized by “suspense and anger,” Gedhu said.“EasyJet planes, as they are, just aren’t very comfortable – it’s just a basic seat with okayish legroom room. So everyone was just a bit tense,” he said.“Th...
