A number of things plopped into my inbox, across my RSS reader and into and out of my pants today, so I thought I'd share with a quick little mixed-bag post here at the end of another day in Pitch-land.
Bill Brownlee is jazz hero man of the day. Not only did the local blogger write this killer review of the People's Liberation Big Band's Battleship Potemkin project, he also debuted a jazz events calendar that's an offshoot of his jazz blog Plastic Sax.
We don't have a review of Cake's sold-out show at the Crossroads this past Saturday, but unlike those other reviews (which is actually the same review), we have the photos! Until today, I never knew what the lead singer looked like.
Oh.
What's with the glove? Does it perhaps display his solidarity for fellow used-to-be-good-in-the-90s act G. Love & Special Sauce?
The lineup for the Pitchfork Music Festival this July has just been announced. I give it a 7.3 out of 10. (Thanks to Robert Moore for passing that along.)
Late-ish-breaking show announcements this week...
Bubble-dress-wearing St. Louisan and brash-singer-songwriter-of-Morrissey-interest Kristeen Young is coming to the Record Bar on Sunday, May 10.
Toronto electronic duo Woodhands will be joining locals Sheppa from Nomathmatics and Max Justus for an electro-disco raveup at the Czar Bar on Thursday, May 7.
And further down the road...
Yeah Yeah Yeahs: Wednesday, June 3, at the Beaumont Club
Black Crowes: Tuesday, June 9, at VooDoo Lounge
Rock Fest 2009, on May 30, featuring Korn and Buckcherry, is SOLD THE FUCK OUT. Your only hope is to win tickets by tuning in to 98.9 and doing whatever Johnny Dare decrees.
On the smooth-music front, this past Friday's Summer Breeze tribute to Yacht Rock is receiving encore treatment, with a show planned for June 26. Our heads up about the event drew some hater fire on the blog, but all reports I heard said it was a really fun show. I wish I'd gone, but after hanging out at Midwestern Music Co for three hours on First Friday, watching Be/Non and Thee Water Moccasins, I was spent. I'll have video and photos up from that soon, maybe. Stay tuned! Always!
