Eating Oakland up
Sounds like the Uptown club booking some hot players. “Here’s to Oakland! My fucking family!” So the May San Francisco Magazine article quoted Matt Pike, singer and guitarist for Oakland-born metal trio High on Fire. Used to be, you’d have to pay the magazine to print a story this city. It was, to quote a freelance SF Magazine writer, a black hole in terms of coverage from that side of the bay — like the only city was THE CITY, San Francisco. Instead, next on the Oakland tour in May’s issue was Flora, Brown Sugar Kitchen, and, as part of the Sabor Mexicano centerfold, the Fruitvale’s Tortas Ahogadas Mi Barrio, Nieves Cinco de Mayo, Mariscos La Costa, Mi Pueblo Food Center, Taqueria La Gran Chiquita, Taqueria Campos.
