Wonderland Opening Reception
10-plus years in the making, Wonderland is the brainchild of award-winning, multi-talented fashion and culture maven Irene Hernandez-Feiks. Since she began Chillin' Productions 11 years ago at 111 Minna, Irene has provided a platform for thousands of emerging Bay Area artists and watched them flourish into their careers. Now, back where it all began, Wonderland features 60 of Irene's all-time favorite artists, showcasing a wide variety of exciting and diverse visual artistic talents--from photography to painting to sketches and more--it is truly a collection of Bay Area art icons. The opening reception on Thursday night will include tunes from DJ Delachaux, Romanowski, Waterhouse, Terbo Ted, Robert Garcia, and Hanna Sitzer to accompany your viewing experience. Date: Thur 2/4, Time: 5pm--12am, Place: 111 Minna, Cover: no cover, link More Info (JE)

Roller Disco Party
Though costumed roller disco events may not be the first thing you think of to escort an indie film festival into its 12th season--this is San Francisco, and you know how we do. This huge, wild, and crazy-fun annual party that always accompanies the SF Independent Film Festival makes roller disco and indie film seem as natural as, well, movies and popcorn. With skate rentals and tunes provided by Black Rock Roller Disco, expect a rowdy bunch of pranksters eager to get their skate--and their drink--on (as always, IndieFest is not responsible for alcohol-impaired roller skating wipeouts). It will be the most fun you've had on roller skates since your best friend's 4th grade birthday party. Date: Sat 2/6, Time: 8pm, Place: CellSpace, Cover: $5 costume, $10 street clothes, no cover w/ IndieFest ticket stub, link More Info (JE)

12th SF Independent Film Festival
Once again the SF Indie Film Festival brings to you a plethora of world-class films from talented and innovative filmmakers to engage your soul and feed your mind. Rasta prophets, slacker romantics, Iranian rockers, Shakespearian vampires, escaped princesses, dysfunctional crime families, Superman's secrets, Hitchcock remixes and more will be amongst the themes in the festival's selection of feature films, shorts, and documentaries. Thursday's Opening Night Big Ticket includes a 7:15 screening of LA Film Festival top jury prize winner Wah Do Dem, plus the DNA Lounge's Huge Hootenanny featuring live performances by Smash-Up Derby, Kid Beyond, and Gooferman.

Event: DJ Krush
Venue: Mighty
DJs: DJ Krush, Jel & Odd Nosdam
Music: hip-hop, instrumental hip-hop, downtempo
Cover: $17 limited presale
Nearly 20 years deep in the game DJ Krush has been keeping it surreal since around '93. Known for his atmospheric instrumental production, Krush is generally categorized as trip-hop but honestly his apparent influences clearly run deeper than that. He's one of the pioneers and/or godfathers of Japanese hip-hop. Experience hip-hop interpreted through the filter of Japanese culture and re-filtered back. Wild, I know, and you should too. (WF) 

Event: Prefuse 73
Venue: Slim's
DJs: Prefuse 73, The Gaslamp Killer, VOICEsVOICEs

Warp Record's own DJ/producer Prefuse 73 is touch downing at Slim's tonight to shock and amaze. Known for his live PAs and DJ sets, Prefuse 73 creates a hybrid sound that is a full on collision course of hip-hop and electronic sound, controlled chaos if you will. Tonight expect the unexpected and quite simply enjoy the best event that Tuesday night has to offer. Seriously, this thing is gonna be sick! (WF)

Venue: Madrone Lounge
DJs: Loose Shus, Pat Les Stache, Sick Face, Hotthobo, Fenstar
Music: disco, boogie, Italo
Cover: no cover
Listening to a Loose Shus (aka Luzius) track is sort of like taking a flying disco carpet ride through the 70's and 80's. He's got a refreshing throwback sound that's half futuristic fantasy and half retro, "like a lazer beam mixed with 70s cop-movie music, but without actually having to watch a boring 70s cop movie." He was also included in URB's next 100 for 2009 for tracks like his remix for Jupiter's "Starlighter," and 2010 will be the launching pad for his latest EP "Taurus" and even more new material to come. (EB)
