REVIEW: Gorillaz change their stripes at Oakland Arena, with some help from locals
OAKLAND — Near the end of Gorillaz‘ Wednesday night show at Oakland Arena, De La Soul’s Pos introduced the band’s second-to-last song. “There’s a lot of things that make us want to feel bad about what’s going on in the world,” the MC told the cheering crowd. “I love that this song has this recipe, this laughter, that just makes you know that, ‘yo, everything’s all right.'”

Diablo Dish: Exciting New East Bay Brunch Spots
Got Benedict? You Will Soon. The local dining scene is buzzing with exciting new brunch concepts launching across the East Bay. First up is Kat’s Kitchen, which replaced beloved Berkeley brunch destination Rick & Ann’s at the base of the Claremont Hotel and opened softly last week. The family-run eatery, led by Victor Maravilla, brought in chef Michael Fornasero, who has experience from revered Bay Area restaurants Foreign Cinema, A16, and The Boonville Hotel. At Kat’s, Fornasero has assembled a “thoughtful, farm-fresh menu” that reimagines neighborhood favorites while “challenging preconceived notions of what breakfast, brunch and lunch can be.” The breakfast menu includes avocado and trout toasts; a “Sweety” section with pancakes, Dutch baby, and classic and Mexican-spiced Belgian waffles; and savory selections ranging from a breakfast sando and Benedict to shakshuka and mole chilaquiles. Lunch offers starters including lentil soup and mussels, salads, and several sandwiches. Kats also makes its own baked goods and plans to start evening wine bar service.
