Bob Geldof: Why Can't It Change?

Everybody knows Sid isn't interested in "political" music. Nobody can dance to it and it won't get you laid. Or rich.

Sid has mad respect for Bob Geldof. His old band, The Boomtown Rats, made some great records. He'll probably be remembered more for Live Aid and Band Aid and the antics of his daughter "Peaches", and also for naming his daughter "Peaches".

But he's a righteous dude with a nice sense of humor and the right priorities. His new album is called "How To Compose Popular Songs That Will Sell". I can certainly appreciate that - it's what I do!

Photos from Great American Music Hall

Our good friends Rusty & Merin of Soma.FM took some great photos of Sid Luscious and The Pants performing at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco on December 1, 2010 as part of the Silicon Valley Rocks Charity event!

See the whole set here.

You know, for kids!


First: Go buy tickets. If you tell 'em you're our friend, you get $5 off  by clicking here: http://svrocks2010.eventbrite.com/?discount=sidluscious5off


But that shouldn't matter, because it's for a good cause: music education.


Second, Silicon Valley Rocks is a benefit for Music in Schools Today:

They only ask special people to play. Like everything else in the music business, it's all about who you know. Of course, they have a bunch of tech folks playing in these bands. Then they realized that hey, you know, you might want some "experts" on the bill.


So our agent gets the call, and we're showing up as ringers for this one. Looking forward to it.


We'll also be sporting a new drummer for this gig. Dante's taking a little break, and in his place is the extremely capable Captain Leasure. 


We'll be throwing down a short-but-sweet set as a way of saying thanks, and we'll be back with a new album and more shows in 2011.


PS new songs posted soon.
