Veteran touring rockers David Immergluck, Victor Krummenacher, Greg Lisher, Chris Pedersen of the Camper Van Crows hit the road once again as the Monks Of Doom in 2018 and I was lucky enough to catch their rare San Francisco matinee show at The Make-Out Room in the Mission District. They played a lengthy set of faves old and new and slipped in an off the cuff mid-set cover of Fleetwood Mac’s rockinest tune of all time “Oh Well”
Caught live in San Francisco nearing his 80th birthday, Ian Hunter & The Rant Band play some encore numbers with special guests Chuck Prophet & Scott McCaughey.

In the midst a long awaited and sold out 17 shows in a row stand at The Chapel in San Francisco in March of 2017, former Bauhaus frontman Peter Murphy added a special David Bowie Tribute night to the slate of performances.
His voice was a bit of ragged glory all night, as he could barely speak, yet managed to soar through the choruses of the Bowie back catalog. After this song he introduces the touring band featuring drummer Marc Slutsky, guitarist Mark Gemini Thwaite, and multi instrumentalists Casey McAllister and Emilio Zef China who’d just tackled the classic 70’s glam rock album cut Jean Genie.
Caroleen Beatty & Doug Hilsinger’s Enorchestra – Golden Hours (live @MakeOutRoomSF) from LilMikeSF on Vimeo.
Doug, Caroleen, Sunny, Steve, Bruce and Dustin dusted off their unique guitar centric take on the 70’s era Brian Eno classics live at The Make-Out Room for a sold out Enorchestra + Mayya & the Revolutionary Hell Yeah! concert held Saturday April 6th 2019. This is but one of their many Enorchestra takes Brian Eno’s rock classics.
in 2004, Doug Hilsinger and Caroleen Beatty lovingly made a homemade cover version of Brian Eno’s second solo album, “Taking Tiger Mountain (by strategy)”, a wonderful record originally released in 1974 on the EG label. Brian Eno happened to hear the new versions of his old songs and was joyous, proclaiming “I like it very, VERY much!”.
And so it was released on cd by DBK Works label, with Brian Eno writing the liner notes. Two years later DBK went out of business and the cd is now out of print. if you want a CD with all the artwork, get in touch with Doug Hilsinger thru saucefaucet.com
