Klash of the Titans with Kreator and Sepultura: They’re calling this thrash metal tour the Klash of the Titans, a nod to the old Clash of the Titans tours that featured Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax. This isn’t quite as magnificent, but it’s still good. German old school thrashers Kreator have never let up, and the current lineup of Sepultura proudly keeps the torch burning. Original Bay Area scene-pioneers Death Angel also play, as do SpiritWorld.Last year saw Kreator release their fifteenth studio album, Hate Über Alles. “The last decade has been a particularly exciting time for the group, with 2012’s Phantom Antichrist proving how they could embrace modern production techniques and move with the times without forsaking the underground spirit and defiance which made them a household name in the first place,” reads the press release. “Its successor, 2017’s Gods Of Violence, saw them topping the German charts for the very first time in their career, a feat virtually...

Why is GOP’s Marjorie Taylor Greene giving money to California Rep. Michelle Steel?

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 06:03:40 GMT

Rep. Michelle Steel is one of several House Republicans who got a financial boost from Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene already this campaign cycle.In a district where Democrats have a slight advantage, could a donation from one of the more polarizing GOP lawmakers impact Steel’s race?On top of her $275,000 donation to the campaign arm of the GOP, Greene gave $2,000 each to 18 House Republicans, including Steel, according to the year’s official first-quarter campaign finance reports.It’s common for members of Congress to donate to their colleagues’ campaign coffers, particularly more vulnerable incumbents in their party, but a donation from someone particularly divisive could turn away swing voters, political analysts said.“It’s a risky move on the part of Michelle Steel to take this money,” said Sara Sadhwani, an assistant professor of politics at Pomona College.The district, Sadhwani said, “is not a Republican stronghold by any means.”In the 45th congressional district, accordi...

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 06:03:40 GMT

ABC is the most underrated ’80s new wave pop band of all.Yet, that certainly didn’t appear to be the case on on Monday night (May 22) at Bimbo’s 365 Club, as hundreds of fans packed the snazzy San Francisco club to capacity to energetically cheer on vocalist Martin Fry and company and joyfully relive some of the decade’s very best pop songs.“It feels like 1983 in here tonight,” Fry remarked to the crowd. “I am having a flashback ”And what a tremendous flashback it was, as Fry — the group’s only remaining original member — showcased his still-pristine vocals on 16 songs during roughly 75 minutes of stage time.Actually, this particular flashback is part of a much bigger one going on in the Bay Area, as a number of the other acts that played the big SoCal ’80s Cruel World festival last weekend — including Love and Rockets, Human League, Echo and the Bunnymen, Modern English and Gary Numan — also have sc...

LOS ANGELES (AP) — U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s ongoing medical struggles have raised a sensitive political question with no easy answer: Who would California Gov. Gavin Newsom pick to replace her if the seat becomes vacant?Despite calls from within her own party to resign, Feinstein, who turns 90 next month and is the oldest member of Congress, has given no indication that she is considering stepping down. Her frail appearance, confused interactions with reporters in Washington and the growing list of health challenges disclosed by her office continue to fan questions about her fitness for the job — now and into the future. ‘Hard time understanding’: Ex-A’s announcer Kuiper responds to firing Should a vacancy occur, a range of names, from obscure to famous — including Oprah Winfrey — have been floated in California circles as possible replacements. Newsom, who is mentioned as a possible future presidential contender, would also have to deal with political complexities, ...

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 06:03:40 GMT

HALF MOON BAY, Calif. (AP) — Investigators are looking into the possibility that fuel issues may have caused a small plane to crash into the Pacific Ocean, killing two people on board.The Viking Air DHC-6-400 Twin Otter was equipped with an additional fuel system that would have allowed it to go further than it could with its original fuel tanks, said Sarah Sulick, a spokesperson for the National Transportation Safety Board. Santa Cruz second fastest growing city in 2022, Census data shows “According to reports, they were having problems with their fuel, so investigators want to look at the issue of ‘fuel starvation,’ which would mean there was a problem with ferry tanks supplying enough fuel to the main tanks,” she said.The small plane crashed around 2:15 p.m. Saturday about 40 miles (64 km) off the coast of Half Moon Bay, California. The turboprop aircraft was en route from Santa Rosa, in Sonoma County north of San Francisco, to Honolulu, Hawaii, federal authorities have said.Th...

NFL expects kickoff return reduction with trial of fair catch rule inside 25

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 06:03:40 GMT

EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — The NFL has pushed the kickoff return further toward irrelevance with a priority on player safety.League owners voted Tuesday for a one-year trial of an enhanced touchback rule that will give the receiving team the ball at its own 25 with a fair catch of a kickoff anywhere behind that yard line. The proposal passed despite an expression of distaste for it from coaches and players across the league. They argued the rule change will create uglier plays with squib and corner kicks that are impossible for fair catches. “I’ve been in this for a long time. I’ve seen these type of health and safety discussions,” said Atlanta Falcons chief executive officer Rich McKay, who is chairman of the competition committee. “We tend to get ourselves to the right place, but it’s never that comfortable.”The NFL said its statistical models predict the return rate for kickoffs in 2023, under the new rule, will drop from 38% to 31% and that the rate of concussions on the sport...
