Frenchman Charlie Homo is a San Francisco-based photographer specializing in portraiture and events. His style strips photography down to the gritty bone, unveiling a truth often hidden from the naked eye. His work strives to find the eternal and universal in the particular; finding in music subjects an unbounded source of Inspiration.
Tiger Lily experiences separation anxiety whenever she goes to a show without a camera; luckily, it hasn't happened much in the past 10 years. When she's not cuddling her Canon, she's working on her rock'n'roll travel guide (http://www.jetlagrnr.com), DJing on KALX radio, honing her ninja skills, or planning her next trip with Domokun.
Chris Anderson's (canderson) rock and roll, skateboarding and whatever else photos grace the guts and covers of magazines, books and brochures, from zeroxed to newsprint to fancy glossy print all around the world. Not too mention the multitude of 7" and 12" record covers and inards. Most infamous for his work with the now defunct Horizontal Action zine and currently with victimoftime.com rock and roll website. His live music stuff can be seen featured there. All genres and more can be seen at his perpetually "under construction" website http://www.electrikcandyland.com.
International award winning photographer Debra A. Zeller lives and works in San Francisco. When she's not shooting a rock show or traveling the world, she can be found photographing weddings or composing lifestyle portraits for newlyweds, families and rock bands. You can find Debra's work online as well as in local and major media outlets.
Julie Schuchard has been a working photographer for over 15 years shooting in a range of mediums from Lomo, Holga and medium format to alternative processes and digital. Her training and education in fine arts informs the artistic process she applies to her work. Julie currently lives in San Francisco where for the last five years she has built a substantial body of commercial and artistic photography documenting the local music scene. As a music photographer, Julie’s work has appeared in publications including The San Francisco Chronicle, Spin Magazine, Pitchfork, The Onion, SF Bay Guardian, SFist, SF Weekly, Loose Record and Six Degrees Magazine. Her client list includes mainstays of the independent music industry such as Noise Pop Industries, Rightround, Rough Trade Records and Universal Records. Julie is also the co-founder of Tricycle Records, an indie music label where she continues to work with musical artists both as a photographer and publicist.
Geoffrey Ellis is a photographer who went to school to be a graphic designer. His dad gave him his first camera way back in 1989, which he used until it was stolen from his car along with a full basket of clean laundry. He publishes a photo-zine called Sadkids, loves road trips, collecting junk and taking pictures.
Julie Zielinski is a San Francisco based photographer and musician. She has been a staff photographer as well as associate producer for the Noise Pop festival for over 4 years. Her photos have been published in various publications including the SF Chronicle, the SF weekly, and 7X7.

SF Sketchfest and Noise Pop Present
The Greg Proops Chat Show
with special guests Linda Cardellini and musician Michael Penn
January 20, 8pm at Yoshi's San Francisco
Greg Proops is a stand up comic from San Francisco. He lives in Hollywood. And likes it. He hosts his own live comedy chat show at the perilously hip Hollywood rock joint Largo. Guests have included Flight of the Conchords, Russell Brand, Jack Black, Dave Grohl, Patton Oswalt, Sarah Silverman, Joe Walsh, David Cross, Margaret Cho, Dave Eggers, Joan Rivers, Eddie Izzard and John C. Reilly. Proops is best known for his unpredictable appearances on both the American and British versions of the hit improvised comedy show Whose Line is it Anyway? Greg hosts the science game show Head Games on the Science Channel, can be heard as the voice of Bob the Builder on the popular PBS children's show, is a regular on Nickelodeon's True Jackson, and has a new comedy CD entitled Elsewhere, available on iTunes and aspecialthing.com.
Linda Cardellini is a popular film and television actress perhaps best known for playing ‘Lindsay Weir’ on Freaks and Geeks and ‘Nurse Samantha Taggart’ on ER. On the small screen, she voices ‘Bliss Goode’ on Mike Judge’s The Goode Family and has appeared on Robot Chicken, Human Giant and the mini-series Comanche Moon. Film credits include Brokeback Mountain, Scooby-Doo, Legally Blonde, Grandma’s Boy and the upcoming The Irishman. A native of Mountain View, California, Linda last appeared at SF Sketchfest in 2008 at the Freaks and Geeks reunion.
Michael Penn's 1989 debut album, March, became a significant critical favorite, earning acclaim for its sparkling Beatlesesque folk-pop and clever, Elvis Costello-like wordplay; the lead single, “No Myth,” even became a surprise hit and helped launch the LP into the Top 40. Penn returned with Free For All, followed by Resigned. He then began collaborating with filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson, and scoring Hard Eight and Boogie Nights. Penn married fellow singer/songwriter Aimee Mann soon after, and released Mp4: Days Since a Lost Time Accident. In 2005, Penn released Mr. Hollywood, Jr. 1947 on his own Mimeograph label.

SF Sketchfest and Noise Pop Present
The Red Wine Boys
Todd Barry and Jon Benjamin with special guests including wine expert John Hodgman, Larry Murphy and music by Mates of State
January 31, 9pm at Mezzanine
21+
Fresh from an appearance at the outdoor Sasquatch Festival (where they noted that they “can't compete with shade” and ripped the fest guidebook for referring to them as “allegedly” funny), The Red Wine Boys (Todd Barry and Jon Benjamin) return to the covered-yet-freezing conditions of SF Sketchfest for a night of comedy, music and free-flowing Pinot Noir. Raising glasses along with the boys are wine expert John Hodgman (author of The Areas of My Expertise), Larry Murphy (Delocated) and acclaimed musical duo Mates of State.
Though conceived as a duo, Kori Gardner and Jason Hammel — the he and she music factory known as Mates of State — have never failed to generate a trademark wall of sound built on dozens of varied voicings of keys, drums, and alternately lushly layered and playfully dueling vocals. On their newest album, Re-arrange Us, they move beyond these boundaries (their traditional organ sound is a distant memory, replaced with organic piano and synth sounds) with additional instrumentation, not to mention a quantum leap in song craft apparent on instantly indelible gems like “Now,” “Jigsaw” and “Get better.” Re-arrange Us follows Bring it Back, written and recorded around a schedule mandated by the birth of Gardner and Hammel's first child and hailed upon its spring 2006 release as "truly unique, wonderfully complex pop" (Nylon), "a top-shelf treat" (Entertainment Weekly), an Essential by GQ and a Best of the Month in Elle.
Tickets are available for purchase here.
Noise Pop has two pairs of tickets to giveaway to each of these performances. Send an email with your full name and phone number to contest@noisepop.com with the subject "Greg Proops" or "Red Wine Boys" by 1pm on Monday, January 18th for your chance to win. Winners will be notified by email.
