I frequently head out to shows at The Boom Boom Room in S.F., a great club that The Breakfast once played at. Everytime I have gone there, I have thoroughly enjoyed all the acts I have seen (generally funky jazz grooves). This Fri. is The Motet and Vinyl plays on Sat. Since I plan on attending at least one of the shows and haven\'t heard either band, I am soliciting input. I have noticed that both of these bands receive press on Jambase/bands so I\'m sure some .inforumers are familiar with these acts.
The following descriptions were provided by The Boom Boom Room for each band:
Motet: An intimate evening with the MOTET throwin\' down their signature Jazzfunkafrocubanic Shake Yo\' Ass music ! "Rootsy and steeped in African rythmns and groovalicious funk, The Motet\'s music is sure to infect you. It\'s a convergence of dance music and free-form improvisation that could turn out to be one of the most satisfying musical experiences you\'ve had since the dawn of the 21st Century."
Vinyl: San Francisco Power-Groovers Light Up The Boom Boom Room on this SATURDAY The infectious music of Vinyl blends old-school funk, Latin percussion,reggae and R&B into signature instrumental grooves.
Vinyl shows are high energy and dance oriented with a universal appeal. They play to packed houses throughout the San Francisco Bay Area
i\'ve never heard motet, but i can tell you that vinyl is AWESOME. i was so impressed the first time i saw them that i actually broke down and bought one of their t-shirts, which i rarely do. you\'ll dance the entire time. i\'d love to see them in their home town.
Both are good ,but if you like jazzy stuff go for Vinyl...they will amaze you.
never heard of vinyl but im sure their good. have heard i couple live shows of the motet and did catch them this yr at Jazz Festival at SPAC and it looked like eveyone was having a rocking good time. so if i was u id go see vinyl since ive already see the motet but what do i know.......

Johnny Wu aka Durkin (Jen Durkin\'s bro) used to play the skins in Deep Banana Blackout.
DBB is no longer a band, though they do play a few shows a year together.
