The day is finally here! KXSF is having its first live, in-person benefit show of 2021 on Sunday, June 20 at Zeitgeist in the Mission. And because we’re so freakin’ happy to be back in a local venue hosting a real live music show, we decided to make it a KXSF family affair — the bands and artists are all part of the KXSF community.

When Kyle isn’t performing as part of Down Dirty Shake (or in the bands Caravan 222, Marmaladies, Baybs, or as solo artist Valentino DeMartini), he’s hosting Honey House Hours Monday nights from 10 p.m to midnight at KXSF. Kyle has his fingers in so many music projects it’s hard to keep track. He is co-founder and music director of Honey House, a San Francisco based collective in the heart of the Bayview, working to promote and foster art, music and culture in and around the Bay Area. In partnership with Light Rail Recording Studio, the Honey House label produces and works with numerous other artists and bands in the Bay Area. And he’s just an awesome person with a lot of great stories. Jump on the Valentino DeMartini bandwagon, come see the show, and tune into Honey House Hours on KXSF Monday nights at 10 p.m.

Gregorio was featured in a May newsletter when he launched KXSF’s first afternoon of DJ Sundays at the Make Out Room.
Gregorio is front man for the band BOLERO! Formed in mid-2019 and also featured on a KXSF LIVE SESSION, Bolero! was really starting to gel when the lockdown came. Their last show in front of an audience was the final Acid Test at the now-defunct venue Amnesia (RIP).
They’ve been practicing though the pandemic, and recently performed n front of cameras for a live stream at The Complex in May. Listen to his show with the Freak Flag Radio crew, late night Fridays on KXSF from midnight to 2 a.m.

Originally an Angeleno, Edgardo has been in San Francisco for nine years. He answered a KXSF social media post searching for genre-specific DJs last year and Hip Hop Anonymous was born. Edgardo says he’s always been a huge radio listener, and “wanted to be like those DJ’s on the radio cutting and scratching.” The last time he was actually IN a music venue was February 2020 when he saw two legends perform – Nas and Wu Tang Clan.
He’s excited to be back in a real music venue again and is prepping some great music. Be sure to come see DJ Pops spins the tunes at the beginning and in between bands at the Zeitgeist beer garden benefit. You can hear Hip Hop Anonymous on KXSF Monday late night midnight to 2 a.m.

Thank You to all of you who donated during our Spring Fundraising Drive. Some large donations and matching corporate contributions helped us reach our $15,000 goal. But we never would have come close without all the smaller donations from loyal listeners and numerous new fans. KXSF remains an all-volunteer staffed, listener-supported radio station which (we now can boast) has the largest social media following of any independent radio station in the Bay Area. Thanks everyone for your support, your kindness, and your faith in us. We will continue to grow, do what we do best and live up to our mission statement:
To amplify the diverse voices of our world by providing musically creative and socially aware radio, San Francisco-style.

Peace and safe re-entry from all of us at San Francisco Community Radio! |
