While you were sleeping poster, 05/08/06(right, that’s the oblig­at­ory Kraft­werk ref­er­ence out of the way)

This week­end’s a busy one for fol­low­ers of elec­tron­ic and dance music. Tomor­row night, Mod­ule’s live band (includ­ing Rhi­an Shee­han and Raashi Malik) plays the late set at Cab­aret. From there, it’s just a quick jaunt along Cour­tenay Place to Sand­wiches for Rhom­bus, who will be start­ing at about … oh, whenev­er gigs start at Sand­wiches these days.

After a late night like that, on Sat­urday you might be in the mood for some­thing more laid-back, so try out While_you_were_sleeping’s explor­a­tions of ambi­ent and exper­i­ment­al sounds at Room 101 (under Bar Bodega) from 8pm. To get a pre­view of the sounds on offer, listen to The Ses­sion on Radio Act­ive tonight, fea­tur­ing tracks and inter­views from some of the artists involved (incld­ing Pang, Pan­or­am­ica and Anaes­thesia Asso­ci­ates).

So So Mod­ern, Dis­astera­dio and Chair­man Miaow, will be play­ing an Amnesty Inter­na­tion­al bene­fit show at Indigo The San Fran­cisco Bat­house from 9:30. And if you’ve any pills energy left, Con­cord Dawn and Minu­it are play­ing not one but two gigs at Sub­n­ine: all-ages from 7pm to 10pm, and grown-ups only from 11pm.
