Motor-vated: Kinetic Steamworks at Coachella 2007.
Because once is never enough. More ear-teasers to tantalize...
Edwardian Ball
Break out the corsets and strap yourself in, girls. The ninth annual event - now three days strong - bids you to party like it's 1899, follow the green fairy, and partake in music, art, burlesque, circus acts, and all things Edwardian and Edward Gorey-esque. (OK, Gorey was born a bit too late, but you get the general drift of the proceedings.) With Rasputina, Abney Park, Kinetic Steamworks, Rosin Coven, Vau de Vire Society, Jill Tracy, Cirque Berzerk, Agent Ribbons, and more. Fri/23-Sun/25, call for times, $25-$35. Regency Center, 1290 Sutter, SF. (415) 435-7527.
Thunderheist
The Toronto electro-funk party-starters gave a lil' impromptu show in London in December (above). Tonight they do it the legal way, courtesy of Blasthaus. Next up: a new album on Big Dada, coming March 31. Fri/23, 9 p.m., $10. 103 Harriet, SF.
Unagi
The slippery DJ brings the knowledge - "real hip-hop on real records all night long" - to his regular event, 442 Fridays, with DJ Animal. Fri/23, 9 p.m.-2 a.m., $5 after 10 p.m. Madrone Lounge, 500 Divisadero, SF. (415) 241-0202.
Linda Hagood and Dragging an Ox Through Water
The once-SF-based, magical-realist, child-power-ballad experimentalist Linda Hagood has a new LP, Red Love Pink Love (Awesome Vistas), in hand. Meanwhile labelmate Brian Mumford Argumentix trots down from Portland, Ore., and pulls out his Dragging an Ox Through Water project. With Cupids, Pigs in the Ground, and Mira Cook. Sat/24, 9 p.m., $5. Argus Lounge, 3187 Mission, SF. (415) 824-1447.
Lady Genius
Volunteer Pioneer may have moved along, but fivepiece indie-rock combo carries on. With the Corner Laughers. Sat/24, 7:30 p.m., $7. Make-Out Room, 3225 22nd St., SF. (415) 647-2888.
