New-waver Thomas "She Blinded Me With Science" Dolby performed a surprise set Jan. 21, 06 at the Red Devil Lounge before heading to Los Angeles to play a string of club dates with fellow '80s stars the English Beat. It was Dolby's first solo performance in nearly 25 years. The Englishman, who is planning a full-scale club tour of his own later this year, treated the audience to 35 minutes of classic Dolby material before joining local '80s cover band Notorious to perform the Cure's "Just Like Heaven" and "New Toy," which he wrote for Lene Lovich.

Among
the 300 or so guests at the late September gathering were Senate
President Don Perata, newly
elected South Bay Democratic state Sen. Elaine Alquist, and Democratic
Assembly members Nicole Parra of Hanford and Lloyd Levine of Van
Nuys. Doug Boxer, son of Sen. Boxer and a former Anderson business
partner, and Peter Ragone, press secretary to San Francisco Mayor
Gavin Newsom, were also on hand.
Everyone was having a grand time -- helped along by the free-flowing wine, the
cigar bar, the filet mignon and the amplified sounds of an '80s band, Notorious. |

Diamond & Notorious Rock San Francisco & Bimbo's 365 Club...Fortunately,
after dining at El Raigon, North Beach's new Argentine steakhouse,
we arrived at Bimbo's early enough to take in the warm-up band,
Notorious. As a result, we were able to get great,
on-the-side, raised seats. And we got a chance
to dance!
Notorious performs songs of the 70's and 80's (admittedly
our generation).Artists emulated last night include: AC/DC, Queen,
Joan Jett, Naked Eyes, Prince, Rick Springfield, The Romantics and
Van Halen.
If we had to leave after hearing Notorious, Super
Diamond's "warm-up band," the $20 ticket would have been
money well spent.
Hear them once and you'll understand why they are one of the Bay
Area's best dancy party, rock show.
If you're getting married in or around San Francisco Notorious would
be the band to hire -- whether you're twenty years old or fifty.
The lead female singer, Kate, is a dead ringer for San Francisco's former
first lady, Kimberly Guilfoyle Newsom.
