Curiously, Cline's inspiration as an all-music explorer seems to derive from the legendary big-vision saxophonists John Coltrane and Ornette Coleman.
In the past decade, he's teamed up with altroots darlings Wilco and the now-defunct Geraldine Fibbers, noisy rockers Thurston Moore and Mike Watt, and top Bay Area composer/improvisers like Rova Saxophone Quartet. Since the late '70s, he's experimented on the jazz fringe as a mainstay of SoCal's avant-garde community. guitarist Nels Cline moves in many musical worlds. Expect one trippy evening indeed call 861-2011 or visit for more info. Also on the night's bill is Santa Cruz folkies Whysp and L.A.'s instrumental experimentalists El Ten Eleven. Though LSDATSFG's debut album has not yet been released, when it, um, drops, it'll be on a record label called Mind Expansion. During the past year they've been cutting their teeth with performances at places like Thee Parkside and Rickshaw Stop, and the latter spot is where they'll return on Thursday, Jan. quintet known as LSD and the Search for God, a bunch of self-described psychedelic shoegazers who've swiped half of the title of William Braden's book The Private Sea for their name.

The rest of the country thinks that San Francisco is a place where it's hard to find God. Find out if he's bringing some European flair to the party when Rouse's solo acoustic tour swings through the Swedish American Hall on Thursday, Jan. He's already come a long way from the Freedy Johnston-isms of his 1998 debut, Dressed up Like Nebraska, having spent his past several releases transitioning from plaintive altcountry singer to suave, blue-eyed Philly soul boy.

Sure beats a Tennessee winter, no? Anyhow, those good vibes - plus the glow of a reported new romance - are said to have seeped into his forthcoming album, Subtitulo (that's Spanish for “subtitle”), Rouse's seventh disc. Apparently Rouse is in a better place now, and not just emotionally - last year the 33-year-old, Nebraska-born singer/songwriter hightailed it from Nashville (his home for a decade) to his new residence in beautiful Valencia, Spain, where he undoubtedly slides his toes into the sands of pristine beaches under the warm Mediterranean sun, strumming bright melodies on his guitar while tanned, dark-haired beauties in billowy, transparent white garments glide by.
When last we heard from Josh Rouse, he was delivering to us his break-up album, 2005's Nashville, which was lyrically steeped in the misery stemming from his recent divorce.
