Closing out the year at The Turf Club...
I've spent many late nights at The Turf Club this year. I'm quite fond of the place and that's why I'm happy to say it looks like I'll be ending 2009 with back to back nights at The Turf.
Please join me at these two fine shows to ring in the new year...

Out of everything that was recorded in 2009 this set from The Deaf is certainly in my personal top 10 favorites. With 90 some shows recorded and who knows how many bands there's a lot of competition to beat out. This is something I've been really excited to get out there, it's just taken me a little over a week to do so. I'm still working on the set list but new songs were played. Seawhores, The Deaf, In Defence and Gay Witch Abortion supported The Blind Shake. Thanks to The Deaf, Learning Curve Records and The Triple Rock for allowing this fine evening of music to be documented. Support local bands, labels & venues in 2010 and every year after that. It's never been more important.

Marijuana Deathsquads recieved a lot of well deserved local praise in 2009. I had only seen them previously one other time last summer at the 501 Club. I've been trying to catch up with them every since missing a handful of shows due to various schedule conflicts. MDS is members of Building Better Bombs alongside a rotating cast of players. I've included a blog from their myspace in the txt file to help clarify things. This particular line-up included Isaac and Ryan (Digitata, Mel Gibson & the Pants) with Ben (Private Dancer, Falcon Crest, STNNNG) and Charles (Seawhores) both on drums. MDS and Seawhores supported Chariots as they reunited for a special benefit show to help raise money for a close friend's kidney operation and medical expenses. Any of the three sets would have been worth the price of admission alone and I hope to post the other two as well.

The show must go on...
FLIGHT: 3386 STATUS: Canceled. Merry Christmas.
Since Mother Nature just robbed me of being able to see my Grandparents for the first time in over two years it's back to business. I think it's also safe to pull the Buddy Holly records back out.
Well, I don't know where I'm going to spend this lovely holiday but since I'll be in town you can find me walking back and forth between the Triple Rock and the Nomad on Saturday. THE ABOMINABLE SNOW JAM is going down at the Nomad and Heiruspecs is having two "Home for the Holidays" shows at the Triple Rock. There will be an Early show as well as a Late show. Be sure you make the appropriate Facebook RSVPs as soon as possible.

This turned out surprisingly well for a Memory Lanes tape. Yes, there are people bowling but just close your eyes and pretend you're floating around with a white russian. The awesomeness of the music drowns out much of the background action. I actually like this recording a lot. Check out COE's next show! Other Ass Records recording artists include; Totally Harsh, Daisy's Compact Mice, Pocket Pu$$y, Terracide & Sharp Teeth. This show was with Bouncer Fighter, Terracide & Slain.

Jazz in the Clown Lounge this week...
You might already know that my favorite Twin Cities jazz trio Fat Kid Wednesdays have had a long standing Monday night gig at The Clown Lounge in the basement of The Turf Club. Morecowbell.net recently started up a weekly jazz series Tuesday night in The Clown Lounge making the Midway the place for jazz fans to start off the week. This week in particular is rather tasty downstairs...

Tuesday, December 15th - The Clown Lounge Jazz Series with Dave King, Adam Linz, Scott Fultz and Zacc Harris Quartet!

The Doomtree BLOWOUT V
Once a year the people of Minneapolis and surrounding areas are treated to three hours of Doomtree. People drive or fly in from out of state and in the past people have flown over from Europe. It's kind of a big deal see. I must say that BLOWOUT V is my favorite BLOWOUT since II. Not to slight III and IV but there was something in the room the other night. Sims commented on it. I don't want to step on crew toes so only two tracks will be released. Please support Doomtree by picking up the official releases. They are available at Fifth Element and through the Doomtree store. False Hopes XV is out now and you can pre-order Dessa's debut album, "A Badly Broken Code" is due out January 19th. Thanks to Doomtree and First Avenue for allowing me to record. What up to the main man Ander.
Doomtree - "Drumsticks" Live at The BLOWOUT V (12-05-09)
Doomtree - "Low Light Low Life" Live at The BLOWOUT V (12-05-09)

I consulted a friend who's way into Earthless about the set list and even he was confused after Godspeed. Hopefully I didn't botched the tracking too bad as this should probably be four tracks. Unfortunately the "Cherry Red" encore is missing. Baroness politely asked not to be recorded due to the fact that two shows at the end of the tour were being recorded for a possible official release. Cool, no problem. I've recorded them before and could have played the "what if I tape but give my word it won't be circulated?" card but I wasn't in the mood. Soooo, Earthless finishes their set and I start unplugging cables. Two or three minutes later they are back. The FOH made a comment about only having a couple minutes left so it felt like an unplanned last minute deal. Being that I was already half way tore down I just said damn it and continued. That's the story of the missing "Cherry Red." As far as the set goes I thought it was pretty intense. I don't listen to a lot of jammy psychedelic stuff but Earthless executes it extremely well. Support them by buying the official releases through their label Tee Pee Records. Earthless and U.S. Christmas supported Baroness.
