Most Current News! *MUSIC HOI POLLOI to reunite! Returning after an 18-year hiatus to grace again the stage of a now-venerable rock club they helped christen back in 1991, San Francisco’s always highly regarded but perennially underground HOI POLLOI are re-forming to bring their Peter Gabriel-by-way-of-Husker Du sounds to contemporary denizens of Bottom of the Hill. For a sonic taste of genuine alternative rock from a time when alternative rock was a genuine alternative, HOI POLLOI will perform at Bottom of the Hill on February 11, 2010, with The Hollyhocks and Hey Brontosaurus. (Featuring the classic HOI POLLOI line-up of Patrick Kelly, Barry Shaw, Christopher Watkins (Preacher Boy), and Megan French.) To download the press release, please click here.
