Danyavaad and the Shimmy Sisters will be performing at The Polenge Lounge in San Francisco on Friday August 28th as part of their March Of the Gypsies Tour 2009.
Their journey will take them all the way from San Diego, California to Burning Man at Black Rock City in the Nevada Desert. The group is touring in support of their CD/DVD “March Of the Gypsies.”
Danyavaad and the Shimmy Sisters have performed at clubs, theatres, festivals, and corporate events all over California, Nevada, and Mexico.
Danyavaad plays live original Middle Eastern flavored music featuring the electric sitar and tribal drum beats. Danyavaad creates an atmosphere of Middle Eastern lounge mixed with Indian vibes and rock. The unique songs of Danyavaad are originals by San Diego's Guitarmageddon Champion Greg Vaughan, tribal drummer Gabriel Penix, and DJ/bassist Sandy Bagri. Danyavaad means 'thank you' in Hindi.
The Shimmy Sisters (Leilainia Penix and Adelaide Marcus) embellish aspects of creativity and art in their inspiring bellydance performances. Their diverse show may include snakes, swords, candles, fire fingers, isis wings, glow hula hoops, and traditional bellydance props such as veils and zils. They were born into a culture of creativity by their bellydancing mother and artist/musician father. They were chosen People's Choice Bellydancer Of The Universe Troupe 2007.
Their unique sound and show has brought Danyavaad and the Shimmy Sisters 2 nominations for San Diego Music Awards. They are up for best World Music Group and best World Music Album. Vote at http://www.sandiegomusicawards.com

About Polenge Lounge:
From the ashes of a legendary San Francisco venue emerges a new leaf – the Poleng Lounge. Inspired by the Balinese notion of duality and the pursuit of a balanced lifestyle, Poleng Lounge is the new destination for all who seek enlightenment through a full range of premium tea blends from around the world, an innovative presentation of street foods from all across Asia, playful cocktails, and eclectic music from both emerging and established artists.
Heavily influenced by Balinese aesthetics, our performance/private banquet space adds flair through environmentally conscious design using salvaged metal gong tables, turned stools made from recycled teak, and bamboo accents. Music aficionados will appreciate the enhanced audio system designed by award winning JK Sound.
Later in the evening, Beats Antique will perform.
"OFFICIAL OUTSIDE LANDS - Beats Antique After Party
BEATS ANTIQUE, an oakland based group featuring ZOE JAKES, DAVID SATORI, AND SIDECAR TOMMY, which has stumbled down the rabbit hole and emerged anew on the other side. BEATS ANTIQUE forges a curious alliance between middle eastern traditions and potent west coast circus,underground hip hop, breakbeat brass band, downtempo, glitch and dubstep. Supporting their 2nd album, COLLIDE (2008 CIA records), BEATS ANTIQUE'S DJ sets on BASSNECTAR'S "THE OTHER SIDE" tour feature their diverse sound collage as the opening act for one of the nation's most well known DJ's. ZOE JAKES, nominated as Zaghareet's "Best Interpretive Artist 2007",presents a unique take on Tribal bellydance, influenced by Art Nouveau, tango,Breakdance, and Indian classical dance. BEATS ANTIQUE has brought the paradox of electro-acoustic music into the future.
