west oakland sound series  SUNDAY  JANUARY 25  2026  7:15PM STRING THING #2 ANDY MEYERSON Made by Fae Ordaz and Penina Biddle-Gottesman, the first String Thing was born from a bucket of discarded piano bass strings. Fastened with nails to two blocks of scrap wood, at their best they produced a low resounding thud. A year later the second String Thing came to fruition, this time made of harpsichord strings and a cigar box, fashioned with guitar pegs, heart-shaped holes, and bridges. These strings are strong and thin, bending and stretching with the bodies that animate them. STRING THING #2 exists in the space between the two bodies that wear it, and the bonded trust. They are its backbone. Without them it makes no sound.   San Francisco based percussionist and Artistic Director of The Living Earth Show ANDY MEYERSON performs solo and with special guests. Meyerson is the drummer and co-founder of queer nü metal collective COMMANDO, music director of renegade dance company Post:ballet, drummer for Russian feminist protest and performance art group Pussy Riot, the artistic director and CEO of uncompromising experimental chamber music record label Earthy Records, and a renowned solo artist.

Just to put a little +1 on this post:

String Thing played Monday night in SF at a tiny DIY space and it was an excellent set. I met them last summer while on tour through the southwest where we shared a show in Santa Fe. 

Fae and Penina met as undergrads at Oberlin. Penina is from the Bay and moved back recently after graduation. Fae is still studying at Oberlin and visiting for this California String Thing debut tour. Let's support the young people making interesting music!
