String Cheese Incident Plans San Fran New Years 'Sea Of Dreams'

Monday, September 25, 2006

After a hugely successful inaugural event last year, Madison House, Anon Salon, and Peak Experience Productions will collaborate again for the Seventh Annual Sea of Dreams New Year's Eve event in San Francisco on December 30th and 31st.

Like last year, cultural forces will unite for two freaky nights at the San Francisco's Concourse Exhibition Center for the biggest New Year's-weekend gathering on the west coast. Expect three stages hosting an incredible roster of live bands - plus cabaret and circus acts, DJs and dance collectives, performance troupes, and more. All set within multiple thematic environments, this event promises something for people of every tribe.

Musical acts performing on the three stages include the groundbreaking independent rock band The String Cheese Incident (playing two full sets each night), British nu-school breaks producer Tipper, revolutionary underground artist Bassnectar, modern day traveling minstrel DJ Mark Farina, the down-tempo trip-hop dance music of Lotus, live electronic hipsters Pnuma Trio and plenty of others still to be announced.

Performance troupe and dance collective participants include The Indigo Belly Dance, The Mystic Family Circus, Black and Blue Burlesque Anon Salon's Circularious, and others. In addition to the stage performances, expect art encampments, novelty zones, installations, midnight spectacles, supergames, and everything. For complete line-up and details as they become available visit seaofdreamsnye.com.

Propelling the proceedings will be innovative entertainment booking and management company Madison House, and Portland, Oregon-based Peak Experience Productions. Both will join forces with long-time San Francisco art/event promoters Anon Salon (the co-creators of "Burning Man Decompression" and past "Sea of Dreams" NYE events).

Sea of Dreams is an epic costumed celebration of music, art and community. This colossal pageant weaves together a host of artistic communities to create a truly "emergent" cultural phenomenon. In the most unusual venue, with the most multi-faceted and unprecedented line-up ever, Sea of Dreams has altered the course of party history.

Talk about fucking hype.

the groundbreaking independent rock band The String Cheese Incident

Groundbreaking, independent, rock and band are not words (let alone put together) I associate with SCI.

Does anyone actually listen to these guys anymore I find it funny that I always said they were bullshit hype and now even their most diehard fans are jumping ship and won't even come to their defense.

[Basher]

zero it is hard to argue that SCI is not a band. That's all I have to say about that.

[M.O.B.E]

I still love the Cheese and if I was allowed into that country I'd be there.

Did you know that the colossal pageant weaves together a host of artistic communities to create a truly "emergent" cultural phenomenon? In the most unusual venue, with the most ulti-faceted and unprecedented line-up ever, Sea of Dreams will alter the course of party history.

Are you bashing comunications professionalism and journalistic creativity as presented in that release? I don't think I've ever read something more gripping as:

Propelling the proceedings will be innovative entertainment booking and management company Madison House, and Portland, Oregon-based Peak Experience Productions

Say it out loud..."propelling the proceedings". I'l bet you Mos Def starts dropping that fucking rhyme in his next album!

It'd be more dope if he later backed it up with "proceeding the propellings" later on in the same song.

Aloha,

Ive been to a couple of SCI NYE's in SanFran. Always a blast, and this should be no exception. Just remember to bring your rain gear, and be sure to check out who else is in town at the time. LOTS of bands end up there then. Kimock, Claypool, Bobby, etc. in the past.
