Revolutions Presents Tommy Guerrero
Amoeba San Francisco - June 17th @ 5:00pm
Amoeba SF's DJ series REVOLUTIONS returns to present local legend Tommy Guerrero performing a LIVE, all-45s DJ set on Thursday, June 17th at 5pm! Musician/pro-skater Tommy Guerrero's latest album, Sunshine Radio, is out now on his own Too Good Records imprint and we will have copies available for purchase along with other TG titles.
Tommy continues to expand his horizons while upholding his Bay Area heritage. From Bones Brigade skate team in the '80s, he has gone on to make movie appearances; design for Levi’s in Japan, Vans shoes worldwide, and Sutro Eyewear (amongst others); sign a skateboard contract with Converse; co-found Real Skateboards and Forties Clothing; and become the art director for Krooked Skateboarding, along with maintaining a prolific recording and release schedule on his label Too Good, a collaboration with A Train's Al Evers. Tommy’s concerts have packed houses across the country from the legendary Cafe? Du Nord in SF to The Knitting Factory in N.Y.C. to The Underworld in London to the Fujirock Festival in his yearly tours in Japan.
From Mission District punkers to Shibuya-ku hipsters, Tommy’s music resonates in a positive way. His melodies dance lightly around your head, while the rhythms build under your feet and move your hips. His is SOUL music, made by a street kid raised on Santana and Bill Withers (with more than a little nod to the Clash and Public Enemy in there, too).
