Funny Face house
San Jose’s Funny Face is a playful, fuzz-drenched alt/punk outfit that’s here to get you sweaty and make you spill your drink on the dance floor. The band blends big hooks and guitars with a DIY aesthetic full of the kind of lo-fi immediacy that makes people dedicate their lives to rock and roll. Funny face helps book shows in San Jose.

Joy Gallery
Joy Gallery hosts music shows. A safe space that welcomes everyone. We mostly have our events on Saturday evening, however, we are open to hosting on Fridays, and possibly Sunday (early shows). To to make their show a little more unique, acts have an oppurtunity to personalize the space to suite their band or other musical project. I have a full PA, some mics, etc...we can be loud. All door money is for the bands. Although we are pretty cool for our age, we aren't as connected as we once were in our 20s. we highly encourage all acts to promote! Unfortunately our bathrooms are not wheelchair accessable. Contact: joygallerysf [at] gmail [dot] com
