Countdown till weekend...
FRI: A wonderful triple bill is happening at the Tasty World tonight with Still, Small Voice & The Joyful Noise, Sleepy Horses and Don Chambers (performing a mostly solo set). Not sure how the sonic awesomeness of Sleepy Horses is gonna play in that big resonant room, but we'll see. In any case, you've got three great songwriting bands in one room. It's also a CD release party for the new Sleepy Horses LP, Somewhere out West, lonesome for you. Good night.
However, there's a particularly great live band over at the Caledonia as well as Now It's Overhead returns from tour. I like to see bands roll in from the road because more than likely by that time the show is as sharp as can be and rocks completely. More here.
If that's not enough for you, you can catch The 63 Crayons and Diet Rockstar amongst others over at the Secret Squirrel. Of if you wanna dance, you can do so hipster style with "Bitch Switch" at Go Bar or college style with Krush Girls at the 40 Watt.
SAT: Chan, Chan, Chan... what is there to say? How much money are y'all putting down that this'll be one of the legendary "good" shows? Its was put forth on this site a few days back that the presence of a backing band will make her actually play the damn songs. We'll see. Anyway, Cat Power's at the 40 Watt. More here.
For those who like it MUCH louder, Music Hates You will definitely be playing their songs at Repent. The Dumps will be too. This marks the first live show for the new bar and I'm glad to hear it cause last time I walked by there, there was nothing but horrible gothy-techno-y crap streaming out of the door with sad looking punk rockers mingling about. Also, people are s'posed to be brining something to decorate the place with. I guess it's kinda like the patrons of the Lunch Paper taking the place back or something. I don't know. But the music's gonna rock. Plus, MHY doesn't play nearly as much as they used to. More here.
Finally, there's some experimentaly and songwritery stuff at Flicker as Craig Lieske & Jeff Chasteen perform (the experimentaly stuff), and Patrick Hargon (of Goat) opens (the songwritery stuff).
