I haven't seen my Grandparents in over 2 years and sometimes it eats at me because they helped raise us while mom was working the long hours needed to afford us with certain opportunities in life. While many good friends are dead, in jail or otherwise absent from society I get to document musics that I care about and that likely wouldn't have been so if I hadn't come from an outstanding family of sturdy Midwestern stock. Yes, while I'm heading deep into prairie country to say Thank You those in town should be privy to these events...

Remembering Michael Dahlquist (12/22/65 - 07/14/05)
When I walked into The Triple Rock to record Silkworm 5 years ago I obviously had no idea that Michael would be dead less than four months later. Being that we didn't know this at the time everyone I talked to had a blast at the show. Malachi Constant and Maps of Norway supported. I can remember standing on the corner of 7th & Cedar as people filed out of The Triple Rock. For lack of a better word there was some kind of cheer bustling through the air and everyone was wearing a smile. Those close to Michael Dahlquist and Silkworm were no longer smiling on July 14th 2005 when it was reported that Michael along with his friends Douglas Meis and John Glick were killed when Jeanette Sliwinski intentionally crashed her car into theirs in an attempt to commit suicide. At this point I'm not going to let my emotions get the better of me but Sliwinski was paroled October 2nd 2008 and completed probation on October 2nd 2009 which hardly seems just.
Back to being happy I was able to attend this show and walk away with a recording of it. It does sound pretty nice considering the equipment and techniques a young Empty was using 5 years ago. With that said I wanted to take a second look at the master tape before releasing the full set. This will happen soon but for now please enjoy the following tracks.
Silkworm - Don't Look Back (03/20/05)
Silkworm - Raging Bull (03/20/05)

Thanks to Zach for another sick mix. Thanks JL. I've seen Russian Circles a handful of times but the one set I never released due to it being a st3@lth affair was Tempe, AZ '06 with The Velvet Teen, P.O.S. and Minus the Bear. That business was pretty crazy. I don't think Stef was expecting to see me in the desert. A pretty young lady accompanied me to the show but we left before Minus the Bear to check out the pool. Gone are the salad days.

Have you heard? Nomia is back. There was a last minute show with Guzzlemug at the Hexagon last April, then a couple shows in May and a couple more in June. I unfortunately missed the June 17th show with Empires but I was able to catch up with them supporting Russian Circles and Sweet Cobra. Some people may remember the 6/23/07 tape also recorded at The Triple Rock. It's still available here on the Live Music Archive. While you're at the Archive you may also want to check out the 6/28/10 In-studio Nomia recorded for Nowlikephotographs which airs on Radio K Monday nights at 8-10pm CST. Thanks to Nomia and The Triple Rock for allowing me to record. Stay tuned for the Russian Circles set.

That West Bank Apartment Should Have Been Mine.
The folks running the WBSC have something great going on and I encourage you to keep an eye on their calendar. You may sweat out a few ghosts while there but you'll enjoy yourself while doing so. After getting set up I had to run some compact discs down to Chris at The Triple Rock and happened to run into Mr. Salinas, curator of your favorite Funk/Soul/Blues dance night Hot Pants as well as many other parties around town. Always good running into this fellow. Back at the WBSC the potluck was in full swing and sets had begun. For a little taste of The Somethin' Else #2 I wanted to share Makr's set (Live from the West Bank Social Center 07/09/10). If you get your stuff in order you can catch him again tonight at the Whitesand/Bandlands LP Release Show with Moonstone and Visions of Christ (who also played WBSC). So thank you to Jon Davis, The West Bank Social Center and everyone who performed last night.
It was at this particular point in the evening where I chose to fail Mother of Fire. Then again you don't need some shoddy live two track recording from The Bedlam to discover this band. The new LP is available through Destijl Recs. It wasn't time to retire yet so I asked Fish to head to Memory Lanes. Power of 2 had a few songs left and I rather enjoyed what I caught. I had stopped through for The Yoleus and they did not disappoint.
With 30 minutes left before the clock struck 2:00am it was time to see what was shakin' at the Hexagon. I walked straight into a Bight Club set which was a pleasant surprise. It made me recall the first time I saw Jeremy at The Suburban World Theatre in April '07. Call number two to 24/7 and to all a good night.

Thank you to Why?, Snake and First Avenue for allowing me to document this show. Thanks to Zach for putting his time into the mix. A year and a half ago I was in a pretty dark place but "Alopecia" scooped me up out of the gutter and dusted me off. I made it back to the green room to thank Yoni for the heart medicine. He thanked me for all of the recording and that meant a lot. Broder and Erickson do Minneapolis proud. Dosh and Jeremy Ylvisaker contributed gear for the show. Hopefully you didn't miss Deerhoof or Southeast Engine.

Sleeping in the Aviary - "The Very Next Day I Died" Live At The Cedar
Last Friday was not like other Fridays. I was hired to record a funeral service. No need to get into it on the blogosphere other than saying that she was an amazing woman and a fixture in her South Minneapolis neighborhood for 30 years. After the service I stopped into Roadrunner Records to collect thee thoughts a bit. I've always loved that store but it didn't seem like the time to shop for music so began the hustle to the West Bank via Downtown. There was a less somber occasion that needed to be archived.
Hawks & Oxen were holding their CD Release Show at The Cedar, one of the best venues in town. Don't sleep on Hawks & Oxen's "Coarse Course" release. Sleeping in the Aviary and Sundowners supported. On the way over the sky opened up with heavy rains which is always a hoot when you have gear on foot. Made it to The Cedar in time for soundcheck but after getting set up I was craving some eats from The Triple Rock. The chili with veggie sausage was sounding tasty and tasty it was. At this point the rain had come back with a vengeance. It was torrential and not letting up. My shirt had just barely dried off and I wasn't about to let it get soaked again. A West Bank ghost told me to stuff the shirt in my pants and sprint like a mother. The Cedar Avenue cabbies all stared as if I had lost my mind but I had no time to stop and ask if anyone had seen it.
Back at The Cedar folks who weren't scared off my the rain enjoyed an evening of fine musics. Details on posting a track or two from the Hawks & Oxen set are still being worked out but since Sleeping in the Aviary are one of my favorite bands around town I wanted to share a track from their set. It may seem as though it's related to the first paragraph of this post but it's not. I just really like the song. Their official releases are available through Science of Sound. A new album is on the way but in the meantime may I recommend a little "Expensive Vomit In A Cheap Hotel?"

Pretty Quiet Around Here Lately...
So there seems to be a constant stream of 50 or so people who check in even if I'm not posting much. I just wanted to say thank you for the interest. Now that the nice weather is here I've been trying not to sit locked away in my apartment. This of course leads to a reduction in the frequency of tapes being processed. I've recorded some shows in the passed couple weeks that haven't made it online yet so I need to go over some stuff. Perhaps I'll obtain permission to post a Dave King Trucking Company set from the Clown Lounge a couple of Mondays ago? Looking like a busy weekend though...

- Friday night is sounding like a nice night to spend at The Cedar. Hawks & Oxen CD Release w/ Sleeping in the Aviary and The Sundowners. 7pm doors / 8pm music with a $5 admission in advance and $10.

Lookbook At First Avenue w/ Slapping Purses, Bight Club & Zoo Animail
Lookbook at First Ave. w/ Zoo Animal, BIGHT CLUB, & Slapping Purses from MPLS.TV on Vimeo.
Produced/shot/edited by Dan Huiting.
Additional camera operators: Adam Olson, Andre Durand and Chris Hadland.
Art by Matt Bardins and Hannah Haugberg.
Sound by John Coughlin.
A huge thank you to Dan, Lookbook, First Avenue (Conrad & Lee especially) and MPLS.TV for allowing Empty's Tapes to capture the 1s & 0s. All 4 sets were top notch from start to finish. The First Avenue staff ensured that everyone in attendance shared a wonderful night of local music. I also highly recommend checking out Zoo Animal, Bight Club and Slapping Purses if you're not already familiar with what they are up to. Hungry before of after the show? Check out The Depot, a newly opened restaurant owned and operated by First Avenue.

This was Mara's birthday party. Voytek and Class of 86 started off the evening. MC/VL played a set and DJed in the old bar as well. This was one of the funnest nights in recent memory and I'm really happy with the way this Prairie Sons tape turned out. Do not sleep on their record when it comes out!

MC/VL @ The Old Bar
MC/VL
The Old Bar (The Triple Rock)
Minneapolis, MN
Sunday June 6th 2010
So Mara's birthday party featured MC/VL playing a set and spinning records in the old bar as well sets from Prairie Sons, Voytek and Class of 86 on the venue side. With the 414s set up in the other room I had to channel Lomax and MacGyver, a couple of long time heroes to get this recording made. Drew hooked me up with a rag that I folded up to cradle the Sony PCM-D50 as I pointed it to the speaker positioned above the door. The capabilities of the D50's internals are well known. This deck is extremely well made and the internals don't mess around. This was recorded at 24 bit 48 kHz. The dithering to 16 bit was done in Sound Forge Pro 10 and the 320kbps mp3 encoding was done using RazorLame.
MC/VL - "Live From The Old Bar"
Voytek - "Saturday Night Again" (Live at The Triple Rock)

Chastity Brown CD Release Show This Saturday
The Cedar
416 Cedar Ave S, Minneapolis MN 55454
Saturday June 12th
Doors at 7pm with music at 8pm
Tickets $10 in advance and $12 day of show
Looking for a surefire good time at one of the city's best venues this Saturday? If you're a fan of legendary acoustics you may want to consider joining Chastity Brown at The Cedar for the release of her band's new album High Noon Teeth, the follow up to 2009's Sankofa and 2007's Do The Best You Can. Chastity's stellar vocal capabilities are worth the price of admission along but her band certainly packs a punch with Michael X. (percussion), Adam Wozniak (of Tarlton, upright bass) and Nikki Schultz (backing vocals) in the lineup. Leave it to Chas to round out the bill with some top shelf support in Roma di Luna (duo) and No Bird Sing (acoustic). Roma di Luna duo sets can be rather rare these days and are not to be missed. As many times as I've seen them I myself have yet to witness an acoustic No Bird Sing set. I'm not even certain this has publicly happened before but with it going down at The Cedar it's sure to be special. With all three of these acts sharing the same bill it's going to be difficult for folks in attendance to take their attention away from the stage.

The guy has no fear when it comes to The Cook's Revenge. Thanks to the band and to The Triple Rock for allowing me to document so many great shows. Their new album "Good Morning, Magpie" is out now on Vagrant Records. Ha Ha Tonka and Linfinity supported.

Missing shows already...
The plan was to record Marijuana Deathsquads at Nick & Eddie last night but instead of getting back into town at 6:30pm Wednesday I got back in at 6:00am on Thursday morning. See you next week I hope.
Stopped through Loring Park to say hello to some friends tonight. After getting word that Puppy Dogs & Ice Cream and Muja Messiah were playing The Triple Rock I headed for the train to record but feeling pretty drained I said hello to some folks and headed South.
Summer is here and sleep deprivation has set in. Be safe all. 24/7 keeps me safe.

Third time recording Sleepytime and they never disappoint. In my opinion they are one of the greatest bands of our time. Please support them by picking up their official releases. Most SGM and SGM-related releases are available through their online store. Thanks to the band and to The Triple Rock for allowing me to record. Guzzlemug (Minneapolis) wasn't messing around with their supporting set. They were also kind enough to load Sleepytime some gear for this mini-Midwest run.
The 04/13/09 set from The Triple Rock can be downloaded here. Life is good when Sleepytime Gorilla Museum stops through once a year.

Chris always picks out choice support which included Guante & Big Cats, Big Trouble and Ecid. Brett Spurr was behind the additional camera and Tony Rohr mastered the audio capture. Thanks to Ron for doing what he does. Here's to Dragons.

Art-A-Whirl 2010
More stuff will be going down than this little blog can hold but I wanted to feature a few music related events that people may want to check out.
The Sample Room (2124 Marshall Street Northeast)
"The Slow Mirror and the Metronome"
"Along the river during ART-A-WHIRL this year come check out the Slow Mirror and the Metronome, a sprawling sound, video and sculpture event taking place behind the Sample Room. Bands playing from boats, video projections, floating installations, and sound collages transmitted to floating speakers, all combine to create an environment that reroutes and harnesses the river’s acoustics and reflective surface."
Presented By: Creative Electric Studios | The Sample Room
Created and Produced by: Joseph Belk, Drew Peterson, Ted Quinn, Adam Burchard, and Phil Harder.
Sponsored The 89.3 The Current, The Sample Room, Modern Radio, Pabst, Fulton, Sheba Productions, and Spyeglass.
Friday May 14th:
Sound installations playing throughout and during intermissions by Ben Carey from Hotpants (playing both nights).

Gastro Non Grata and Modern Café Present GastroWhirl 2!
Noon – 8:45
Modern Café Parking Lot
Free admission to all
$1 wristbands for 21+ to drink
"Gastro Non Grata and Modern Café have put aside their petty differences on reality TV programming to bring you GastroWhirl 2 : Muralize It –an entire day of local bands, cold beer, fine wine and a PBR art mural.
Modern Café will be open inside inside until 2pm, but the interesting stuff will be cooking on the parking lot. Jim and Phil are going to be building a BBQ pit out of cinder blocks then overload it with braising pans full of shouldered pork that will be torn into carnitas tacos with radish relish and a few select sides to help set the base for the day of debauchery.
We’re glad the guys at Fulton Beer will be on hand pouring Sweet Child of Vine IPA. Local beer made by local guys drank by local ladies and fellas, a thing of beauty. Also, Chris Brink of Bourget Imports will be on hand to dole out some summer whites and thirst quenching rose for those of you that stick your pinkies in the air.
Our friends at Pabst Blue Ribbon will be on hand all day pounding tall boys and creating an art mural on the empty wall of the parking lot, giving us some some whirl cred and leaving a lasting impression of what should prove to be an amazing show."
On the music end we’re biting off ten bands of varying flavor and intensity. Starting off with Sorry OK, Ogre Smash Death Boom, Claps, Communist Daughter, Chickadee Mountain Martyrs, Me and My Arrow, Amen and the Hell Yeahs, International Espionage, Cokewolf And Building Better Bombs.
Chris from Bourget will be pouring wine samples before Communist Daughter

Murder By Death Return To The Triple Rock
Hey hey, one of my favorite bands is stopping through town Wednesday and on top of that they return to The Triple Rock for the first time in two years. They delivered a great set the last time their were on the West Bank playing The Cabooze 10/04/09 with Gaslight Anthem, Frank Turner and The Loved Ones. As much fun as that show was I'm excited to see that they are playing The Triple Rock this time around, which is where we ended up after the show last October.
Murder By Death's most recent Triple Rock appearances include:
04/21/09 w/ Where Astronauts Go To Hide
05/04/08 w/ Dios and Gasoline Heart
05/28/06 w/ Langhorne Slim and Metal Hearts
MBD's new LP "Good Morning, Magpie" was released on April 6th, 2010 through Vagrant Records. It is available through Vagrant's online store as well as the band's official online store.

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.

So one of my favorite bands came through town last night for the first time since September '07 (LMA download link). You can be sure that it was a good night all around, especially with a bill consisting of Red Sparowes (Los Angeles), Caspian (Beverly, MA) and Fang Island (Brooklyn). Do not miss this tour. Well, since it's almost over chances are you may have. Don't worry, Caspian is constantly touring. This includes 25 dates in Europe this May. Caspian's second album "Tertia" was released last year through The Mylene Sheath. Thanks to the band and to The 400 Bar for allowing this recording to happen. Caspian has other live recordings available for free download on The Live Music Archive.
Be sure to tune in to Nowlikephotographs and Radio K (770AM/100.7FM/104.5FM) this Monday at 8PM Central for an interview with the band from the basement of the 400 Bar. I believe interviews were also conducted with Red Sparowes and Fang Island. Nowlikephotographs can also be streamed online.
I'm also excited to annouce that Caspian will now be making ONE list spot available for anyone interested in recording the show no matter which continent they may happen to be playing that night. First come first served. This is of course dependent on the venue's existing policies which may prohibit recording. This offer may also not apply to festivals or tours where Caspian is supporting in which recording is not allowed. Please contact me at the email address above for more information. Your interest is appreciated by both the band and myself. - John

So one of my favorite bands came through town last night for the first time since September '07 (LMA download link). You can be sure that it was a good night all around, especially with a bill consisting of Red Sparowes (Los Angeles), Caspian (Beverly, MA) and Fang Island (Brooklyn). Do not miss this tour. Well, since it's almost over chances are you may have. Don't worry, Caspian is constantly touring. This includes 25 dates in Europe this May. Caspian's second album "Tertia" was released last year through The Mylene Sheath. Thanks to the band and to The 400 Bar for allowing this recording to happen. Caspian has other live recordings available for free download on The Live Music Archive.
Be sure to tune in to Nowlikephotographs and Radio K (770AM/100.7FM/104.5FM) this Monday at 8PM Central for an interview with the band from the basement of the 400 Bar. I believe interviews were also conducted with Red Sparowes and Fang Island. Nowlikephotographs can also be streamed online.
I'm also excited to annouce that Caspian will now be making ONE list spot available for anyone interested in recording the show no matter which continent they may happen to be playing that night. First come first served. This is of course dependent on the venue's existing policies which may prohibit recording. This offer may also not apply to festivals or tours where Caspian is supporting in which recording is not allowed. Please contact me at the email address above for more information. Your interest is appreciated by both the band and myself. - John

Knife Word and Dark Dark Dark supported The Chickadee Mountain Martyrs on the eve of their CD Release. Thanks to The Hexagon for hosting. This release was delayed on the account of my not knowing many of the song titles. A special thanks to a certain someone for assistance with that. I'm also a bit sad to say this may or may not have been the second to last Knife World show ever. I'm certainly glad I was there to document it either way. You can still expect to see Jon at this year's Heliotrope Festival (May 27th, 28th & 29th) at the Ritz Theater in NE Minneapolis. He may or may not be playing under the moniker "Fuckhead Rogering And The Goddamned Henhouse."

So This Week...
Despite great shows at The Nomad, Turf, Hexagon, Artists' Quarter and First Avenue I stayed in Saturday night. Been laying low since Sleepytime on Friday and don't plan to go back out until Wednesday. I'm also back on my side of town so perhaps I'll get some things uploaded.
Actually, I just heard that Marijuana Deathsquads, Batmen and Solid Gold are playing the Entry tonight and might run down to check that out. Other then that...
Wednesday April 21st - MDS @ Nick & Eddie
Took a rare night off last week but looking forward to N & E again.
Thursday April 22nd - Black Audience @ Red Stag
The Red Stag is the Thursday spot.
Friday April 23rd - Caspian + Red Sparowes + Fang Island @ 400 Bar
I've been looking forward to this show for weeks. Who would miss Red Sparowes and Caspian on the same bill? Don't be silly.
Saturday April 24th - John Henry's Birthday @ The Turf w/ Seawhores + Teenage Moods + Chickadee Mountain Martyrs + Voytek
Well, we're all turning 30 this year and Henry's got a sick line up at The Turf to celebrate his turn.
Saturday April 24th - El Ten Eleven @ The Nomad
And if you're not at The Turf you may want to check out El Ten Eleven from Los Angeles. I caught them last time and they were indeed great.
Sunday April 25th - Past Lives w/ Brute Heart @ The Entry
Jordan and Morgan from The Blood Brothers come through town with their new band Past Lives Sunday and I sure hope I don't miss it. Local favorites Brute Heart open.

P.O.S. Gets The Band Together
Word is out by now that P.O.S. played a series of three (The Turf Club, The Triple Rock & Nick and Eddie) "secret shows" in the Twin Cities this past week. Some relied on twitter for this news others just happened to be making their usual rounds about town. The purpose of these shows was to debut a new full band set heading into Coachella. Anyone happen to catch the set at the Gobi Stage earlier this afternoon? Well if missed out this week don't fret because they will be playing an extended set Sunday May 30th at this year's Soundset 2010 at Canterbury Park. Tickets can be purchased here. The band features DJ Plain Ole Bill (Get Cryphy), Ryan Olson (Gayngs, Marijuana Deathsquads & Building Better Bombs), Benjamin Ivascu (STNNNG, Private Dancer, Building Better Bombs & MDS to name a few) and Isaac Gale (Building Better Bombs & Marijuana Deathsquads).
P.O.S. - "Never Better" Live at The Triple Rock (04/13/10)

Audio Baseball Cards...
An acquaintance of mine from out East, Dave M., shared a story on Taperssection today that I found to be rather interesting. When various people have asked me about taping/trading shows over the years I've often compared it to collecting baseball cards when you're a kid. I've never heard the term "Audio Baseball Cards" before but I think Guster's FOH Gordon might be onto something.
"Ok, so maybe I just like this quote because it helped me get a show taped last night, but it rings pretty true for me.
So the story is that I went to tape Guster last night at the Hanover Theatre in Worcester, MA. As I'm walking from my parking spot to the entrance, I see Gordon, their FOH engineer, hanging out behind the venue. He asks where I'm set up, and offers up the seat right next to his desk - according to him, the room has no low end whatsoever up front, so it'd sound better back by the board. I finish up our chat and head inside.
Unbeknownst to me, it's a union venue, so I got stopped at the door. I gave them the tour manager's name, and they radio back and then escort me to the side entrance where there's a bunch of venue staff standing around. A girl with a radio says "You're the one who talked to the tour manager? Wait here." She goes back and brings out a guy who explains that since it's a union venue, they'd have to charge double rate for anyone recording who's not a union member, and that'd get charged to the school who's putting it on, etc. He says he'll take the stuff back to the tour manager and I can pick it up after the show. I'm friendly with the crew and I know they'll raise holy hell if anything happens to my gear, so I say ok and hand it over.
15 minutes later, I see Gordon heading to the desk, and he waves me over, motioning to the spot he's got in mind. Then he frowns, noticing I don't have my gear with me anymore. I explain the situation and he says with a wink, "Let me take care of it. I know people". Five minutes later he walks back out of the side door, carrying my gear and my stand. I ask him what he said, and if he was union. "Nah, I just told him that what you're doing doesn't compete with them in any way. You're not making a professional recording, it's basically like audio baseball cards. Something you guys make and keep like memorabilia, or to trade around with other fans." Apparently the guy then said "Well, if you HAVE to do it..." and Gordon responded "Yeah, I do. We like to be accommodating."
Shows will be posted to LMA soon." - Dave M. aka greenone

The first show I ever recorded was Sleepytime in Tempe, AZ Jan. 2004. I have since missed at least three Minneapolis SGM shows for various reasons but I redeemed myself last Monday. This is an amazing band. If you're into it please support them by buying the official releases. Faun Fables and Dub Trio were also recorded.

Dosh releases his 5th album "Tommy" with a series of three shows around town this weekend. The first of those being tonight at The 7th Street Entry. Face Candy and Ghostband will support. Doors at at 9pm with a $12 admission. Dosh's band for the evening will include none other than Mike Lewis on sax, Jeremy Ylvisaker on guitar and J.T. Bates on drums. Who knows who else will join them?
You can also catch up with Dosh at MacPhail Center for Music Saturday night at an early All Ages show at 7:30pm including a Q&A session with a $12 admission. Dosh is ending the weekend with a show at The Bedlam Theatre on Sunday night. This show is 18+ with doors at 8pm and a $12 admission. Out of town folks, are you ready for the good news? This is all leading up to a 25 date tour with White Hinterland from Portland, OR supporting.
If you are unable to make it to any of the shows this time around "Tommy" will be available through anticon. as well as iTunes eventually I'm sure. If you live in the Metro area I'd also encourage you to check The Electric Fetus, Cheapo, Roadrunner Records or Treehouse Records for a hard copy.

So while Judgement Day were playing The 400 Bar last night I was recording Marijuana Deathsquads at Nick & Eddie. I'm confident in my decision but as a nod to Judgement Day here's my 2008 recording from The Varsity Theater. Hopefully I can catch them the next time they stop through.
Check out their new video for "Cobra Strike" here. It's great!

What's Shakin' April?
Just because I haven't been uploading recordings doesn't mean I moved to an inner ring suburb to start a family. Last Wednesday was of course MDS at Nick & Eddie. Last Thursday was the Rocky Votolato show at the Triple Rock followed by making it to the Red Stag in time to catch Black Audience's second set. Friday at the Dakota was a great time. I should really be catching Dakota Late Night more often. Saturday night I saw Moonstone and Skoal Kodiak at the Soap Factory in NE. I had the necessities for patching out of a board but there wasn't really a board to patch out of. Two great sets nonetheless. I took Sunday and Monday nights off from anything having to do with shows or computers. It was fabulous. Last night was the first back 'lot BBQ of the season.
This week...
Tuesday the 6th:
The Builders & The Butchers + RX Bandits + Zechs Marquise @ Triple Rock 5PM
I'm excited to catch The Builders & The Butchers again. They were great opening for Amanda Palmer in the Mainroom. I've also heard good things about RX Bandits. Not familiar with Zechs Marquise but looking forward to checking them out.
Wednesday the 7th:
Sleeping in Aviary + Teenage Moods @ The Nomad
MDS @ Nick & Eddie
Torn between heading to The Nomad and keeping the Wednesday night N & E tapes alive.
Thursday the 8th:
Black Audience @ Red Stag
Thursday night at the Red Stag is an easy decision.
Friday the 9th:
Dosh + Face Candy + Ghostband @ The Entry
You can find me at The Entry Friday night.
Saturday the 10th:
Dosh @ MacPhail Center For Music
Paragraphs + Falcon Arrow @ Nick & Eddie (Last show for a while!)
Courtney McClean & The Dirty Curls Debut EP Release @ The Beat
Sunday the 11th:
Chastity Brown @ The Cake Shop
Dosh @ Bedlam Theatre
