Does your automaton self need to recharge on the way to Farmer's Market to shop for your human overlords? We've got the best fuel for you: jazz will ring out midday in the Main Library's atrium, just as bot batteries run low. The music of the Klaxon Mutant All Stars is a product of a new generation of eclectic-minded jazz musicians living in the technology-obsessed, genre-twisting, and multicultural mix that is the San Francisco Bay Area. With inspiration drawn from 1980s hip hop, to underdog baseball heroes, to the writings of David Sedaris, California politics, to covering local indie rock bands like Deerhoof, the album Robot Invasion by the Klaxon Mutant Allstars is multi-pronged in its influences, vital in its relevance, and boldly points towards the future.
