I'll Sleepy When I'm Deady

Even though I haven't heard the recordings yet last night went well. Got to Grumpy's at 5:30 and of course was the only person in the City Club room. I was joined by my pal Todd as I was getting set up. A young lady who likes me for some reason also came down. Mike rocked a trio and I thought it was a great set. I'm glad I went and look forward to checking out the tape. You should check this out next Wednesday from 6:00 to 7:30. The wings are delicious! What up Luc. Made it back to the apartment for a short bit before catching the train to The Triple Rock for Alpha Consumer and Communist Daughter. I'm sorry if you missed out but we're talking two of the best rock bands in town on the same bill here. I got word that Perks was being treated well at Nick & Eddie so thank you to MDS for being so kind to the taping folk for the past month and a half. See you next week. I was about to catch up with Perks but two cab fares in one night is silly and it sounded like both shows were ending around the same time. Who else digs the new 8pm doors at The Triple Rock? Note that some shows still have 9pm and 10pm doors.

Tonight it's the second week of the Bitch N' Brown Miniseries at The Nomad w/ Truck Stops Across America, InBOIL and Kicks & Spurs. Unfortunately I missed the first week but my cyborg clone is not finished yet. Sounds like a closer but it's rare that I look forward to seeing all 4 bands on a 4 band bill. Is Country Rock or Country Punk the preferred nomenclature?

The backlog is growing but in 5 year that may not be such a bad thing, eh?

Wednesday With the Triple Threat

Last week I got word that Mike Gunther is doing the Wednesday happy hour residency this month at the City Club room inside of Grumpy's Downtown. I found out in the morning and there was no time to run to the apartment for gear...so I made sure I came prepared today. Happy hour til 7pm including 10 wings for $3.50! Done deal. Music starts at 6 and goes until around 7:30. I was able to catch the last week of Jim & The French Vanilla's residency which included a set by The Blind Shake last month. The City Club is a nice little oasis tucked away on the edge of Downtown. See you there.

After a short run back to Longfellow it's back on the train to the West Bank. Very excited to see Alpha Consumer and Communist Daughter on the same bill at The Triple Rock. I honestly do not know much of Boats but look forward to checking them out. Thanks in advance for the stellar show everyone. From there, depending on what time it is I may try to make it to Nick & Eddie for week six of the Marijuana Deathsquads residency. Much respect to my Elliot Park associate and good friend Perks for covering MDS tonight. I greatly appreciate it, Perks! If all goes well at N&E then Sean and Aaron from Moonstone and Travis Bos (Song of Zarathustra, Chariots & Chibalo) will be joining MDS this week.
