Dosh w/ members of Why? in the Clown Lounge

Saw Linz mention this on F-Book yesterday afternoon but I never posted about it. More Cowbell is already on it.

Info dropped by Linz:

1st set : Dosh with members of the WHY? band. Anticon Records represents hard in the Clown Lounge. If you’ve never seen WHY and members nows your chance. Highly Recommended!

2nd set : Metzger, Linz, Bates. Banjo trio from Antarctica. Werner Herzog got’s nothing on this trio as they play some old timey rags and swingers! Modestly Recommended

The Clown Lounge
21 + and all the booze you want to drink. Dave might even make you a Pink Squirrel?????
10:30 like you mean it!
$5 gets you access to heaven.
See you there.

Ghostband @ The Entry

On Friday April 9th Ghostband supported Dosh at one of the three release shows he held that weekend for his new album "Tommy" (anticon).

I passed the .WAV file onto Mr. Jon Davis (Ghostband) so he could apply his own master tweaking. He then saw fit to upload the recording to the Audio Archive. Ghostband Live at 7th Street Entry 4/9/10 can be downloaded here. Much of Jon's other work is also available on The Archive including; Ghostband, Notes/Improvisation, Prince Feathers and Minneapolis Free Music Society. Much respect to Ron at The Entry.

WHY? :: 2010 European Tour

WHY? has booked 40 European dates through the months of March and April. The most up-to-date information on cities & venues can be found on their myspace page.

Friends overseas, I would consider it a huge favor if anyone were able to record on this tour! Even if you want to check them out in a non-taping capacity this band is not to be missed. Both the band and their Tour Manager/FOH are cool with audio and video documentation. I know things are a bit stricter in Europe when it comes to recording in clubs. Sometimes house rules trump whatever the band says but if you'd like me to contact their TM for you to try and get something worked out shoot me an email at emptystapes AT gmail DOT com

Another end of the year homecoming show that delivers on any musical or social level you want to comment on. The nonfuckwithable duo Themselves co-headlined and local favorites Kristoff Krane and Sector7G rounded out the bill. When these guys are all in the same building together and Mesa Pizza is across the street where else would you be on a Friday night in Dinkytown? The beta sigma omega house is not an acceptable answer.

WHY? - "21st Century Pop Song" Live in Minneapolis

We're laying the obsession to rest for now but here's a special bonus for the folks at home...

WHY? - "The Hallows" @ The Triple Rock

I'm calling this the show of the year. When all is said and done I'll probably have seen at least 80. Hey some people knit and others go to shows. Yeah it's true, I've been waiting since July but I'm trying to leave bias behind. I do have two confessions to make. 1) This was my first time seeing WHY? live. 2) I was afraid the hype was going to leave me disappointed. I was wrong. I spent over $30 at the merch table, mostly on stuff I already owned. My only request? Please play "The Fall of Mr. Fifths" when you get to the Desert.

I don't have permission to post the full set so we'll have to start with something everyone knows...
