Mezzanine Events for January 2007

Mezzanine is one of my favorite places in the city and I've seen some of my favorite artists perform there. The sound system is kicking, there's 3 bars downstairs and 1 upstairs (sometimes 2), a dedicated outdoor area for smokers, ample parking nearby, as well as public transportation and consistenly talented bookings.

This month I'm recommending the following shows:

Monday, January 8th: Lady Sovereign with Honeycut and Young Love. This is actually a sort of payback show as from what I hear she put on an embarrasing performance and is going so far to to give a free show to previous ticket holders after being blasted on Myspace. With that much pressure this show be the show to put doubters to rest.

Thursday, January 11th: SF Sketchfest Opening Night with Stella. Stella was created by Michael Ian Black, Michael Showalter, and David Wain also now as MTV's THE STATE. Both of these shows in addition to anything and everything else those 3 have performed in have been wacky, witty, and ridiculously funny. I didn't know Mezzanine could handle this type of event and I'm wondering if there will be seating? Either wa - opening night of SF Sketchfest with Stella! Tickets will sell out.

Friday, January 19th: Angie Stone in her only Bay Area live performance. This is a terrific opportunity to hear this singer, songwriter, producer and actress on an amazing system.
