Both outfits also feature bewitching female vocals, howling guitar distortion, and the unsettling undertow of cellos. Ex Reverie offer the best description of the sound on their MySpace site: &quot;Glam Rock from the year 1066.&quot; Tonight, the bands open for folk singer/songwriter Mariee Sioux.</p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.flavorpill.net/~f/flavorpill/sf?a=ApsCBH"><img src="http://feeds.flavorpill.net/~f/flavorpill/sf?i=ApsCBH" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.flavorpill.net/~f/flavorpill/sf?a=v3UGEH"><img src="http://feeds.flavorpill.net/~f/flavorpill/sf?i=v3UGEH" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.flavorpill.net/~r/flavorpill/sf/~4/287913445" height="1" width="1"/> http://flavorpill.com/sanfrancisco/events/2008/5/11/mariee-sioux-w-fern-knight-and-ex-reverie tag:flavorpill.com,:Event/8283 2008-04-30T18:43:31Z 2008-05-05T18:53:11Z Matt Sussman <p><a href="http://flavorpill.com/sanfrancisco/events/2008/5/11/baby-cham" class="thumb"><img alt="Baby Cham" src="http://flavorpill.com/attachment_image_files/0010/1991/l_349d5699d0e6e2400b87d0e03f709a41_event_browse.jpg" /></a></p><p><p>Sunday May 11 (9pm)</p> @ Club 6ix, 60 6th St</p><p>Baby Cham's breakout single &quot;Ghetto Story&quot; was seen as so incendiary that Jamaican authorities banned it from the airwaves. Speaking truth atop menacing synths and gunshot snares, Cham snarls through his stories of growing up amid violence, poverty, and crime. But while guns-to-glory arcs in the hip-hop and dancehall genres are usually heavy on the braggadocio, Cham isn't boasting &mdash; he's lamenting. So he really couldn't be a more appropriate headliner for this charity concert benefiting Jamaican youth still living in the ghetto. Cham's not above giving shout-outs to his mama, so don't think tonight's show fits awkwardly with your Mother's Day plans, either.</p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.flavorpill.net/~f/flavorpill/sf?a=ATh1aH"><img src="http://feeds.flavorpill.net/~f/flavorpill/sf?i=ATh1aH" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.flavorpill.net/~f/flavorpill/sf?a=YpkzKH"><img src="http://feeds.flavorpill.net/~f/flavorpill/sf?i=YpkzKH" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.flavorpill.net/~r/flavorpill/sf/~4/287913446" height="1" width="1"/> http://flavorpill.com/sanfrancisco/events/2008/5/11/baby-cham
