What’s that you hear? It’s the volume being cranked up on San Francisco’s music scene as restrictions ease and more of our favorite clubs and venues begin opening up their doors to live (or sort-of-live) music. And KXSF is here for it! |

KXSF SUNDAYS AT THE MAKE OUT ROOM |
|
Starting this Sunday afternoon, May 30 — and every Sunday afternoon for at least the next few weeks — KXSF DJs will be spinning vinyl at The Make Out Room. In the Before Times, longtime KXSF DJ and co-Music Director Bob Newman (aka Bob N.) was a regular at the Make Out Room, crafting a DJ set from his extensive personal music library.
|
|
Bob N. hosts Mawkish Twaddle Saturdays 10 a.m. to midnight, and will be among the KXSF deejays spinning vinyl sets at The Make Out Room on Sunday afternoons.
|
|
Now, as this historic Mission District venue reopens its doors, our KXSF MO DJ team is growing to include Elisse Locomotion and José Trujillo from the Caja Mágica show, and Gregorio Figueroa and the folks at Freak Flag Radio to name just a few, as well as some cool guest spinners.
|
|
Top to bottom: Elisse Locomotion & José Trujillo of Caja Mágica, and Gregorio Figueroa of Freak Flag Radio.

So come on down to the Make Out Room Sunday afternoons, enjoy the music and meet up with friends old and new. The Make Out Room is located at 3225 22nd Street in San Francisco between Mission and Valencia Streets.

Finally, THANKS to all of you who have donated during our Spring Fundraising Drive. There are only a few days left of Spring and we are inches away from reaching our $15,000 goal.
If you can, please go online to kxsf.fm/donate and help put us over the top so we can concentrate on what we do best — bringing you the best music from the Bay and beyond and supporting our local music scene. And for a gift of $50 or more, you can request a KXSF Spring Drive T-shirt! (just let us know your t-shirt size and if you want a "men's" or "women's" style).
