Biography:
Like all good rock and roll bands, Dubious Ranger started as a dream. It wasn't a unique dream; it was dream that had been shared by musicians ranging from Johann Sebastian Bach to Morrissey. It was the dream of floating on a raft made of groupies in a pool full of champagne. As Jean Baudrillard once wrote, "everything that dies in Europe, is reborn in San Francisco." As such, the intrepid young SF-based roustabouts of Dubious Ranger decided to pick up their instruments and start making the type... (read more)

Rangers of interest:

Dubious is playing a show this Saturday the 22nd at Ireland's 32 in the Sunset in San Francisco. We'll be showing off some new songs and delivering our special breed of organized noise that so many of you have come to know and love.

So come mosey on over. There's no cover and the place is full of belligerent Irishmen that love to fight almost as much as they love to rock. Mind-blowing polka/klezmer/rock group Sex With No Hands will play after us. If accordions could talk, they'd call a taxi to get a ride to this show and then they'd sing along to polka covers of Cum On Feel The Noize. Trust me, this will be amazing.

We're now on Pandora. For those not in the know, Pandora is an internet radio service that intelligently selects artists and songs based on musical features you like and don't like. It was awesome without us, and-- at least in my humble opinion-- it remains pretty swell now that we've been added to the tasty, mammoth selection of artists you can listen to. Go to www.pandora.com to eat the flavors...

Rangers of all creeds, shapes, and sock sizes:
We've got a show on Thursday December 20 at Edinburgh Castle in SF, 950 Geary St.

Last time we played here it rocked, plus you all got to eat lots of fish and chips and drink lots of beers on tap with names that made you feel hip. It was so hip.

So please, come again for this new show. We'll be headlining with openers The Landing and Lucid Mechanism. We promise it will be oh-so-fun.

Oh, and we're premiering a new song. It's called "Idiot," and the main hook was written by Alexander "Xavier Trenton" on guitar. Keep in mind that XT doesn't actually know how to play guitar, and then you'll understand that this song will be anything but standard fare.

Dubiously yours,
Dubious Ranger

Everybody:
We have a show tonight, Friday November 9th, at Edinburgh Castle in San Francisco at 950 Geary. It's right next to The Great American Music Hall, a place everyone in Dubious knows and loves (and one of us even works there), and it's a great venue with great drinks and general frivolity.

So come, bring friends, and enjoy the show. We come on at 10pm, and there are some other great bands that night such as Jack Conte and Gliss. Gliss is from Scotland I think and has opened for the Smashing Pumpkins, so their just swell in my book.

Come see us rock, we guarantee a fun time or else you can hate us.

This beats the pants off of MySpace
