a music update
A few things coming up –
- Wrote this week about Gowns, the ex-Amps for Christ, ex-Mae Shi psych “folk” band playing Garfield Artworks on Friday. Should be good, might very well drop by. I feel completely clueless as to my plans for this weekend and as such am afraid to commit to anything. But maybe.
- One other thing going on this weekend is the Mike Tamburo-curated Fantastic Voyagers Festival, Saturday and Sunday at AIR on the North Side. I’ll definitely check out at least some parts of that; lots of excellent solo musicians and musicians who aren’t usually solo but will be this weekend. I hope that sentence is coherent to you.
- Enon is next Wednesday at Garfield Artworks; that’s something.
- Joe Jack Talcum is returning with his current band, the Low Budgets, playing Howler’s on Sunday, Nov. 4 along with Phat Man Dee and the River City Rebels — no really. I think if I remember correctly my first Roboto II experience was an attempt to see River City Rebels there in 2001. Someone took our money then later told us RCR would not be showing. I was sad then; I guess this is my chance to finally see them, now that I couldn’t care less and in fact will likely be very unhappy to watch them.
- Here’s the flyer for the Slingshot Dakota show, bro:
